  Rifftrax has gotten me back into watching bad films as of late so I've spent a little time working on a website. 
I've put some reviews on there and some other stuff that's kind of funny.  I'm trying to get my girlfriend to finish her
reviews for the site as well so it will have more content.  She's a big fan of Mike Nelson and she's the person who
really got me into MST3K so we've seen quite a few films during our days together.  Rifftrax, The Film Crew and MST3K
are currently what we're most into but we can never resist a bad film. 

I've been trying to get people to visit Rifftrax from my site too and I've put links on there.  Hopefully more people will
get intoRifftrax so they'll keep getting made.  I know this site wouldn't exist without funds so I'm heavily promoting
Rifftrax on the internet now.  My girlfriend & I let a friend watch the Willy Wonka Rifftrax with us and he was hooked. 
He loved MST3K previously as well but didn't know about Rifftrax.  It's not something a lot of people know about,
but recent press you guys are getting and the popularity of the films you're riffing are starting to get some attention.

Using big named films to riff on was a brilliant idea in my opinion.  I've seen some critics online upset over the use
of some of the films on here, like they're sacred cows or something.  The fact that it irks some critics and got their
attention is the beginning of something great in my opinion.  It shows that people are interested in something like
Rifftrax in the first place.  A lot of people miss MST3K but it's gone now, it's gone because it couldn't get enough
mainstream appeal.  Rifftrax is the answer that MST3K was looking for.  It's the best of both worlds, everyone wins.
The people who enjoyed the quirky riffs get what they miss from MST3K ,and the mainstream get to enjoy a new
medium of entertainment they might have overlooked if it didn't contain something familiar to them...Like a more
mainstream film.

The critics haven't quite gotten it yet.  But the few who did are enjoying Rifftrax for what they truly are.  Fun!

Here's the website by the way if anyone wants to drop by.

A bump from the great beyond.  Hey fellow rifftrax friends, I updated my site and was hoping some of you might swing by. 
I also found a good way to afford buying more rifftrax or film crew dvds.  Check my site to find out how in one of my latest updates.
