You may recognize the frighteningly earnest fellow on the left as the star of Act Your Age, the first short I played at Inventing Situations when it rose out of the ashes of HCT six years ago this month. Until I started shuffling the shorts a few months back, he was also the sign that we’d cycled through the rotation again.
Well, Kevin, Mike, and Bill have made the short the target of their latest on-demand offering at RiffTrax.com,
and it’s a pretty solid and nicely priced effort. I’d like to think they chose it to honor IS’ birthday. Plus, if you’re like me and you don’t care for the divx player they use, you can also download the track from rifftrax and the movie from archive.org and synch them up yourself. Anyway, to honor the occasion, some brand spanking new grabs from the short will be playing on IS at 1 PM Tuesday the 5th - aka JoeCrow Day

In the odd and scarce department of ‘false trailers’, or ‘ironic ready-made trailers’… well, you name it … along with 2005’s “Episode III: A Lost Hope”, I give you:

The ‘Prince of Space’ trailer. “COMING … 1959″.
( Is the LotR choral music by Enya?
And, isn’t there some ‘Invasion of the Neptune Men’ footage inserted about 4/5ths through for about 15 sec ? )
And also this link - a pity they’re not available via Gerson’s site:

Cheers all. (If anybody knows any other examples of MST3K-apposite trailers or fake trailers, please let me know.)
