CITYWIDE Prince’S Album and Film Titles, Graffiti Bridge, Came from an Actual Railroad Bridge in Northern Eden Prairie That OPEN HOUSE Crossed Over Valley View Road

Fun Facts about CITYWIDE Prince’s album and film titles, Graffiti Bridge, came from an actual railroad bridge in northern Eden Prairie that OPEN HOUSE crossed over Valley View Road. It was legal to spray graffiti on the bridge, and when the movie came out, a large mural of Prince was featured on the bridge. The bridge was torn down in the early 1990s when Valley View Road needed to be widened. Prince’s Paisley Park was originally planned to be built on property he purchased in Eden Prairie, he is still listed as the owner of the property. The cult television comedy series, Mystery Science Theater 3000, was originated here by Joel Hodgson, and Eden Prairie is home to the show’s production company Best Brains, Inc. The cult movie comedy Mallrats was filmed at the Eden Prairie Center mall (before remodeling). In the movie Fargo, the character Mike Yanagita lives in Eden Prairie and comments on the city’s school district while dining with Marge at the Radisson. Green Acres opened in 2013 as an event center. Previously the Goodrich-Ramus barn, Green Acres is the oldest standing barn in Eden Prairie and an important part of Minnesota history. In addition to its outstanding academic reputation, Eden Prairie High School is renowned for its athletics program that has been recognized by Sports Illustrated as one of the top programs in the country. Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016 Eden Prairie High School’s football coach, Mike Grant, was named the Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Year in 2014. He is the son of Hall of Fame Minnesota Vikings coach Bud Grant.

The series featured a human host and a pair of robotic puppets who, while being subjected to some of the worst films ever made, provided ongoing hilarious and insightful commentary in a style popularly known as "riffing." These essays represent the first full-length scholarly analysis of Mystery Science Theater 3000--MST3K--which blossomed from humble beginnings as a Minnesota public-access television show into a cultural phenomenon on two major cable networks.

Due on November 1st 2013 In the fall of 1988 on a small public access channel, KTMA, in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area of Minnesota, a bizarre show appeared. It featured two hand-made, robot-appearing puppets and a man watching a movie and making comments to the screen. Little did its creator, Joel Hodgson, know that he had created a worldwide popular culture phenomenon known as Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST). The show lasted 10 seasons and spawned a theatrical feature film. Now riffing movies, television, cartoons, and the rise of the mash-up have become very popular modes of expression. Twenty-three years after its cancellation, Mystery Science Theater is more popular than ever. The former cast members, through Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic, continue to make audiences laugh and garner new fans. Any aspect of the culture of riffing and Mystery Science Theater will be given consideration.

The Attack of Mystery Science Theater and Moral Imagination (In Color)
University of Central Florida From the SelectedWorks of John Venecek May, 2013 The ttA ack of Mystery Science Theater and Moral Imagination (in Color) John Venecek, University of Central Florida Available at: https://works.bepress.com/john-venecek/2/ 143 Your Experiment this Week: The Attack of Mystery Science Theater and Moral Imagination (in Color) John Venecek I was recently involved in a conversation with a group of friends about how we seem to be slowly turning into our parents, part of an ongoing discussion we have been having for the past several years. The tone was quirky and lighthearted at first. I noted, for example, that I have become increasingly picky about where I get seated at restaurants and think nothing of asking to be moved to a better table, or even of leaving—one of my father’s signature traits that I have now made my own. However, things took a more serious tone as the conversation turned from a discussion of mere quirks to deeper issues that we continue to grapple with in our adult years. At one point, a fellow English major and movie buff turned to me and said one word: “Affliction.” Without having to ask, I knew exactly to what he was referring—Russell Banks’s powerful novel (and later movie) about a man struggling to overcome the influence of his abusive father.1 While none of us were dealing with anything quite that intense, the allusion is nonetheless apt. References such as these have had a place in our conversations for years, as if the lessons learned from books and movies have been stored away for instant recall when we encounter an appropriate real-life situation.

Now that this is out of the way, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Brianna, I’m 18 years old, and have been a MSTie since I was 12. My love of the show came about after my dad and I started making fun of a bad movie on TV. He said, “We’re just doing Mystery Science Theater 3000!” and at some point soon afterwards, he got a few DVDs of the show, including MST3K: The Movie, and the first actual episode I ever watched, The Giant Gila Monster. And ever since I saw those two DVDs, I wanted to see more MST, and more of the funny remarks made by you, Mike, and the Bots over the course of all ten seasons.
