CT005: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!!!

[mrbasehart]

Made doubly strange by the fact that bta is a man.

Meh. Rifftrax doesn't beat the value of seeing a horrible movie riffed for the first time, and not having to see it beforehand.

I mostly forget that Bill and Kevin are being themselves during Rifftrax and paste a big silhouette sticker to the screen during the movie... is that creepy?

Yes.

Oh yeah?.. well... your avatar's creepy!....
...actually it is... in fact a lot... ugh... 

I'm sorry.  Was that a rhetorical question?  I thought you wanted an answer.

I'd love to see them do some more Film Crew episodes, even if they only do a handful a year. I'd settle for less Rifftrax if it would mean seeing them do the whole shebang every now and then.

[Edward J Grug III]

As great as it would be they've already pretty much ruled it out.

Hopefully they'll start doing some more Rifftrax completes.

[bratpop]

If they did do more "Film Crew" it would probably just be "Rifftrax" because they don't have time to do the host segments, and why should they be bothered anyway? I don't feel like the "premise" really added anything, aside from putting them on camera. It was a little weird, to be honest. I felt like instead of one guy and three robots trapped on a spaceship forced to watch movies, it was three guys trapped in a basement forced to do commentary. I don't get the whole headset, lunch break thing. It reminded me of Saw. But with headsets and lunch breaks.

Hi Everyone,

We are proud to announce that the latest episode of Cinematic Titanic: "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" goes on sale at midnight est.



The DVD ($14.99) is available at our STORE and following tradition, comes with an autographed thank you card from one of the Titans (psst, this episode is Joel).  You can also Download ($9.99) the episode from our partner, EZTakes.  It's the fastest way to own it and it's easy to burn a dvd to watch on your home theater system.  Both are available worldwide.

Check out the trailer on our homepage.

We're proud of the way this experiment turned out, but for you MSTies out there who are concerned over our decision to re-riff SCCTM, I give you the earnest assessment of Brian Henry, Co-Founder of Satellite News – The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Fan site (how's that for MSTie cred), who saw the live riff in St. Louis and wrote in his review:
   "As you're no doubt aware, the movie riffed this evening was "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." Some people have expressed their concerns about this choice, and have wondered if there were any riffs left to do that hadn't already been done in the MST3K episode. I am happy to announce that there are. The CT crew brought an entirely new take on the movie and did not repeat a single riff from the MST3K version. And nearly every riff was a hit, bringing waves of laughter from the crowd. Plus they had the added bonus of not having to edit the movie for time, like they did for MST3K, so there were scenes they were able to riff that weren't included in the previous version. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the CT treatment immensely and was not disappointed in the least. I look forward to seeing it released on DVD."

We hope you enjoy the episode and spread the cheer by buying many copies for gifts.

Happy Holidays!

Well now, my weekend just got improved.

Damn, I am pathetic.

[RVR II]

Yeah, but that's ok..

White Russians will just add to the festive spirit!

[Bob]

Yeah, but that's ok..

White Russians will just add to the festive spirit!

I have a friend who will have himself, wife, son and two dogs staying with me the next 5 days as his house gets hurricane repaired inside and their house is unliveable.   

Oh yeah, they will get the CT treatment.

It's always good to spread the love . . . and laughter.

Very much looking forward to midnight (EST).

Speaking of home damage..

The house next door to me had an attic fire today as smoke was blowing into my house.. I thought it was my house at first, and I had to call 911 for the fire dept ..
Took'em about 10 minutes to arrive and then took them a bit to get up in the attic to put it out.
Looks like it was electrical, and the water damage from the fire dept was extensive.
Looks like it may even be condemed..

And I just had my house appraised at $118,000 for a FHA refinance, which will pay off our 2007 Toyota Sienna, saving us around $325 a month 

Just in time for the holidays

The first one wasn't the best one, if you wanted to try another one, Legacy of Blood or Doomsday Machine are both great.

I can't wait to buy this one!

[RVR II]

Are you buying the disc or the download, is the question.

I'm buying the DVD myself..

The others are pretty decent overall and seem to be getting better on each new release

[Edward J Grug III]

Hmmm...okay, thanks for the tip. I should be getting a bit of money soon, maybe I'll try out Doomsday.

The ENDING of Doomsday is a reeeal marathon, you must be warned.

The last ten minutes is longer than the whole movie.

If you can even count it as the same movie, that is.

I'm going to be downloading it because I'm cheap. That and I don't have to wait for shipping that way.
