4/26/2017 Dear Cinematic Titanic ****** CINEMATIC TITANIC. Dear Joel, Josh, Trace, Mary Jo, Frank, and Anson Williams: This is an open invitation to come riff with us. Any, or all of you; whenever mutually convenient. There will be snacks. One of you has already done so. She even rejoined your august group for more of your own work, none worse for the wear. (We hope… But please do check with her.) We tried to get a game going already, but to be fair… you needed to launch before doing anything else. And that you did, with great fanfare and success. Bravo, sirs. And lady. Now that you’re very much afloat — we’d like you all to know, on the record*, that our door** is open. Come and play. We’re not going away anytime soon, and neither are you. Shooting one of your episodes takes longer, with its visual component, we understand. But when your schedule lightens up, and you’re between shoots, come do a Rifftrax with us in the meantime. Any of you — even Mary Jo. (Really MJ, we’ll have an actual chair for you this time.) Lots of movies out there, lots of riffer combinations possible, and many schedulefriendly shorts still beg for riffing. We could even do a flash animation of some sort. It boggles the mind! To repeat: there will be snacks. Of fairly decent quality. Not amazing, but really… fairly decent, all in all. Life is too short to pretend that our fellow MST3K alums don’t exist. That might be awkward anyway, if we run into each other at some big event wearing the same outfit. (“Oh, you have an internetbased riffing thing these days, too? Hunh.”) So please, come play. cheers, Bill Corbett on behalf of Rifftrax.com, Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Ted’s Famous Chicken Restaurant (* We don’t really have a “record.”) (** We don’t really have a “door.”) **MIKE THROWS IN** Ditto from me, you are all welcome. I would just like to add a clarification: the phrase “there will be snacks” should be taken in its most passive sense, i.e., “snacks will still exist”. You know, just in case we can’t afford to bring snacks. Tags: RiffTrax http://blog.rifftrax.com/2008/06/24/dearcinematictitanic/ 3/4.

The administrator gave her three-month notice to the Board of Education Thursday, April 1. The news came in the wake of Rutherford's budget crunching, which will result in several layoffs and pro- gram cuts throughout the district. O'Keefe, who has served as superintendent for 10 years, was vocal during the Board's March 31 budget presentation that the circumstances involving Rutherford and its loss of state aid are devastating. "It gives me an enormous amount of pain" to stand here and say these things, O'Keefe said to assembled board members and parents. The cuts are "beginning the disman- tling of an outstanding school district." But, current events are not the reason O'Keefe is choos- ing to end her career.

On January 15th, 2009 at 6:00 PM PST, RiffTrax will host the first in a series of live web shows, aimed at providing fans across the world with the opportunity to participate in a free version of the company's popular RiffTrax Live! events. Jan. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Feeding off the company's successful RiffTrax Live! events in California, RiffTrax has announced their intention to bring the popular format to fans across the country and the world over the internet, courtesy of their partner, uStream.tv. The inaugural RiffTrax Live! webcast will begin on January 15th, 2009 at 6:00 PM PST on the RiffTrax website, and will be freely available to anyone who wishes to participate in this historic event. The evening's format will be familiar to fans of the website. Headlining the event will be the creative masterminds behind television's cult sensation, Mystery Science Theater 3000. The show's stars and lead writers--Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett--will add their humorous, sarcastic and mocking commentary to a short film from 1951, "Self-Conscious Guy," as live audiences watch and listen along with them. Afterwords, fans will be able to participate in a question-and-answer session with the three comedians. RiffTrax plans to make these live broadcasts a regular occurrence, citing the internet's ability to effectively reach the website's disparate fanbase and to provide a free alternative to an in-person production. Contingent on the success of the inaugural broadcast, RiffTrax hopes that this new delivery medium will enable them to host live events with greater frequency in the future.

THAT STATEMENT CONNECTS the modern Steam Punk Movement, The Jetsons, Metropolis, Disney's Tomorrowland, and the other items that we are celebrating this weekend. Some of those past futures were unpleasant: the Days of Future Past of the X-Men are a shadow of a future that the adult Kate Pryde wanted to avoid when she went back to the present day of the early 1980s. Others set goals and dreams; the original Star Trek gave us the dreams and goals of a bright and shiny future t h a t h a v e i n s p i r e d generations of scientists and engineers. Robert Heinlein took us to the Past through Tomorrow in his Future History series, and Asimov's Foundation built planet-wide cities and we collect these elements of the past for the future. We love the fashion of the Steampunk movement; and every year someone is still asking for their long-promised jet pack. We take the ancient myths of the past and reinterpret them for the present and the future, both proving and making them still relevant today. Science Fiction and Fantasy fandom is both nostalgic and forward-looking, and the whole contradictory nature is in this year's theme. Many of the years that previous generations of writers looked forward to happened years ago; 1984, 1999, 2001, even 2010. The assumptions of those time periods are perhaps out-of-date; technology and society have passed those stories by, but there are elements that still speak to us today. It is said that the Golden Age of Science Fiction is when you are 13.
