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.

  • Dear Cinematic Titan
    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.

Tickets are on sale now for $10. ​ ​ “If you’ve been social distancing yourself from Glen or Glenda, Trace and I are giving the ​ ​ all-clear to watch this classic film,” said Conniff. “Of all the movies we’ve riffed, from MST3K to Cinematic Titanic and our own live shows, this is our favorite. Join us!” The Mads Are Back: Glen or Glenda will broadcast live via a private YouTube link that will be ​ sent to ticket purchasers an hour prior to showtime. A percentage of the proceeds from the event will benefit NAACP Empowerment Programs, who engage primarily in training, ​ ​ ​ education, and advocacy at the national and local levels.

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.
