Inspired by the odd obsession of one of noble competitors, we now have the too inside for anybody’s good LOLchak the Night Stalker, put together by UnReality of Caption This! fame. Am I posting this to mock the competition or because it’s funny? Umm, yes!

Meanwhile, former Brains continue to keep busy. In addition to the usual RiffTrax chicanery, The Giant of Marathon, the fourth (of four?) Film Crew movies by Mike, Kevin and Bill is out. (And like numbers two and three, you can request a free chance to caption it at IS. (Sure it’s more complicated and less instantaneous than other capping catalog systems, but I don’t think accidentally gotten stuck capping a request yet.)

And the Brains continue to make online videos! Huzzah.
(more…)

The Film Crew, aka Kevin Murphy, Mike Nelson, and Bill Corbett are gearing up to release riffed DVDs starting in April 2007. You can go to their site and vote for their first release, after watching the two minute clips riffing the opening of the four candidates.

Ordinarily, I’d just assume you read Satellite News and not mention this sort of thing, but I wanted to give myself a pat on the back and point out that two of the candidates have already appeared right here as part of Inventing Situations Playhouse. Namely, Killers From Space and The Giant of Marathon. And since I keep almost everything in endless rotation rotation, they will appear here again (and again, and again…)

What’s more, starting some time in the next week or two, those last two links will allow you to request a showing of those movies (well, selected still images from those movies) at a time you select thanks as part of our free beta test of the technology that will eventually let me charge you for the same thing. PROGRESS!

(Though the beta test will probably have some sort of limit on how many requests you can make, unless of course it turns out I’m being optimistic and I don’t get swamped with requests.)
