Coming Soon - Tron with Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm

[James of LinHood]

I'm sad Coulton isn't doing this with the guys. I doubt I'll pick it up as I know nothing about these others and I don't do blind riffs.

Just using that as a jumping off point. Um, who are all three of them?

Yeah, I've heard of this thing called Google, but I thought it was just fancy techno-babble.

Personally if the thing's funny, it's funny regardless of who happens to be doing it, I mean I don't know who many i-Riffers are but they can still turn in good work.

JoCo became really famous for the song he wrote which played during the end credits of Portal - "Still Alive."

[Pak-Man]

Ooh. Motivation to take another swing at beating Portal some time soon. :^)

[torgosPizza]

Yeah, it's an awesome game, and that song at the end made me laugh like crazy.

so, the correct DVD is the 20th anniversary version...or not...or what?

[Lemming Howard]

I checked Amazon and I'm seeing 96 min. for the 2000 rerelease and the 20th anniversary 2002 release.  Thank god I didn't erase the fies for the riffraff version.

[Jason Martian]

And I am pretty sure old Homeland Securty has their eye on 'those rifftrax hoolagins!'

[RVR II]

Damn Frisbees! I Knew they were specifically made for spys

We're happy to announce our latest close-to-a-year-in-the-making RiffTrax Presents: Tron, with riffers Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm!

http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax-presents/tron

Releasing on Tuesday, 5/26




Have you ever wondered what the inside of a computer looks like? So did Disney, and it's pretty clear they didn't do any research when they made Tron. RiffTrax invites you to join internet superstar Jonathan Coulton and less-famous-but-still-kind-of-funny comedy/music duo Paul and Storm on their adventure through a luminous blue world of phallic helmets, light-up Frisbees and tight white unitards. A pre-Dude Jeff Bridges stars as a hotshot video game programmer who gets laser beamed into the world's dullest rave by David Warner's evil supercomputer. Cindy Morgan, fresh from the Denise Richards school of unlikely scientists, maybe has a thing for Bruce Boxleitner, who I think is really good at playing this one motorcycle game or something? We can't say for sure, there were a lot of flashing lights and Casio synth music and we kind of fell asleep for a little while.

One thing is certain: beneath the silly costumes and bad CGI there's a powerful message about humanity, communication and freedom, not to mention a studio executive whose creative judgment was impaired by a bad case of Pac-Man fever. Insert coin to continue.

A video intro to the riff.  Excellent.

Well, guess I won't ask people i like for information by way of making conversation any longer then. lesson learnt i suppose. 

And none of those links were helpful, I see a blog and a song but many people do those. Who is he?

[torgosPizza]

He's a singer/songwriter. His songs are usually pretty funny and also tend to be about nerdy topics. He also wrote the end credit song for Portal, which is where I first heard about him.
