Tork's Blog Cancelled

On account of snow.

If you find my frozen body don't let me thaw until they finally make affordable flying cars. Or something just as cool.

Rifftrax Live Open Thread

I'm going to see the second Rifftrax show tonight. Because Thursday is better than Wednesday.



I'll have my thoughts on the show afterwards.

This Week In Entertainment (12/14/09)

This is cheating, but My Pick of the Week is Zelda: Spirit Tracks which actually came out last week. Whoops. I'm no good at this blog thing.


Also out this week on DVD is The Sherlock Holmes Collection. This pitiful set lacks action.


Also Blaster Master and Earthworm Jim came out for the Virtual Console.






Yeah, my heart wasn't into it this week. Next week I'll get it right.

Finally, Rifftrax Live

No, not the upcoming Christmas one. I haven't mentioned it because I don't know if I'll go. I'm not in the mood right now.

No, I mean the last Rifftrax Live is available for DVD. I will pick this up when I can.


I wonder if it was intentional that this was announced on the same day as the CT DVD. Probably a big coincidence.

Tork's Picks Week 14

I pick Steelers over Browns tonight. Duh.


Rest of the picks later.


And I'm back. My picks are:

New Orleans over Atlanta
GB over Chicago (Unless Cutler is hit by a bus and some grandma is put in uniform.)
Ind over Denver
KC over Buffalo
Cin over Minnesota (Come on Bengals! Get that second seed.)
NE over Car
NYJ over TB
Jac over Mia
Bal over Det
Sea over Houston
-
Tenn over StL
Was over Oak (Battle of the horrible owners! Who knows? Al Davis might actually live Snyder.)
Dal over SD
-
Phi over NYG
-
Ari over SF

Cinematic Titanic returns!

I just got an email saying that they're finally releasing new CT DVDs. In this case they're grabbing a recording of one of their live shows. The movie is a kung fu flick named East Meets Watts. I'm pretty sure that's not close to the original translation.


I'll be honest. I still haven't watched the last two episodes. The first few episodes were Ok but no single episode could really resonate with me. And they kept doing 70s horror which they may like but I tend to find that just too nihilistic to be enjoyable. So I was looking forward to them making fun of a kung fu movie. I'd prefer that they would do this as a regular episode but maybe the live show will be ok.

I recently watched the Rifftrax version of the first Matrix movie, and the best part was when they made fun of the fighting, so this should be a break out episode for the Titans. Let's hope I get off my lazy butt and review this when I get my hands on it.
