MST3K!
So Ben heard from his internet nerdery that some of the MST3K guys (and gal), who are now known as Cinematic Titanic, were coming to Dallas for the USA Film Festival and they were going to do a live riff of a movie! Ben, being one of the biggest fans of MST I know, immediately called upon our BFF Chris to score some tickets. This past Saturday was the big event at the Angelika (SP?) theatre in Dallas.
They did a panel before the top secret unannounced movie where they discussed why everyone eventually left the show and it's humble beginnings. I'm a pretty big fan of the show as well, so I had a great time hearing all about the back side of it. And we got to have popcorn during it!
The live movie riffing ended up being done to the tune of The Wasp Woman, which was AWESOME. I didn't know how cool it would be to hear a live version of the show we love so much, but it ended up being really cool. A lot of laughing, and some really zinging jokes.
My crowning moment was almost mowing down Joel Hodgson in the hallway of the theatre because I was juggling a mountain of movie snacks so Ben and Chris could hold our seats that were procured with a little bit of geek drama. Joel was standing in the dark hallway and I didn't notice him and barely stopped myself from covering him in hot nacho sauce and Coke. Thankfully I did and wouldn't be remembered as "that girl who ruined Joel's fancy suit".
All in all, it was a really fun time, and there was even a guy there that had made his own Tomservo prop. It was cool, and weird at the same time.
