I enjoyed this DVD of one of Cinematic Titanic's live shows. It
appears they're filling in the blank spots that annoyed me in some of
the past episodes. The one thing I have a beef with is that it
appears, to me, that they've lowered their comedy standards a bit from
the MST3K days. There were lines that I don't think would have made
the MST3K cut (IMHO, YMMV). Maybe it has something to do with the
Writing Room discipline....
Here are some of the many lines that I did enjoy:
"He has a black belt in EXPOSITION, you know" -Frank
"The letter said meet me at THE GRAVEL PIT IN AMERICA" -Trace
[Maybe we're two of a kind]
"Yeah, you're both 5 minutes deep in a two-minute scene!" -Josh
"Man, I hope they have a shirt-tightening shop around here!" -Joel
[Kung Fat, you know the penalty for acting without instructions....]
"I think EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE is acting without instructions!" -
Trace
"Please dispose of all thugs properly. They're clogging our storm
drain!" -Joel
"I thought I told you to wake me when the scene started!" -Joel
"VANISHING POINT, as you've never seen it before.... Unless you've
seen it before" -Frank
"Look, man, that was just a one-time thing. I was excited about
winning the fight, and when our eyes met, you know.... Let's just
keep it on the down-low, okay?" -Josh

Ah, that was YOU, then. I was suspecting Milton Berle's mother....

Aha! So, it was not actually you, but WADE! I was in the process of
upgrading my suspicions to Phyllis Diller... if not FANG!

Yes, I agree that RiffTrax has more of that than Cinematic Titanic, to
date. It appears to me that CT has been getting funnier, on the
whole, with every new episode, though! (RiffTrax is more hit-or-miss
with me, for some reason.)
I hope you'll give the Cinematic Titanic Live Show in NYC on April 17
("Danger on Tiki Island"), a chance.
