I just found the CUTS website where you can make your own Rifftrax. The website is having a contest right now where you can win some signed posters. Here's my first stab at this thing:

Another go at it. This is a bit addicting:

The Rifftrax forum said that the $3.99 price is just for riffs featuring the Nelson/Corbett/Murphy trio. The one or two person riffs will stay at the $2.99 price. That sounds fair enough to me given the extra expenses they must have from hiring three people.

However, when I said pushing it I meant what the general public will pay. I guess most of the people buying are fans though so it probably won't matter what they charge.

I've gotten nearly every Rifftrax since I first heard about them. $3.99 is still OK, but I'll start getting much more selective if they ever get over $5.

I don't mind the pay increase, as long as we get new riffs every 2 weeks or so. And from the past, 3-some riffs are usually better than the rest, so it's worth the extra $$.

Well, here's an odd choice considering it is an amazing flick but I suppose it fits in with anything can be riffed at Rifftrax:

Too bad Joel and Mike didn't do one together. At least ONE project. That might be rad. I might get behind Cinematic Titanic, but I've always like Mike best.

Then I noticed that it coincides with the Legend Films DVD release. Don't think I'll bite on this one, unless I get Netflix sometime in the future. If the DVD had the Rifftrax commentary on it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat (got all of the Film Crew DVDs right when they came out). But just a shitty movie by itself? Nah.

I'm also more a Mike guy at heart but I will still pick up a couple Joel cuts to give them a listen. Hopefully they are also reasonably priced.
edit: What will be doubly interesting will be if they go head to head at some point and riff the same movie.

The Cinematic Titanic project isn't exactly like Rifftrax. They have bought the rights to twelve movies and will have some sort of DVD burning technology available. Rifftrax usually does more current hits and only offers the commentaries.
An interesting thing about Cinematic Titanic is the connection in Joel's message with Lucasfilm and that they want to get it out by Christmas. I've heard some speculation this means the first C.T. project will be the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Aww man... no riff rivalries... join forces guys.
Kinda weird for Joel to be doing this though, since he seemed to want no part of anything MST3K after his departure (save for his season 10 cameo).

I love Joel, and Trace and Frank even more, but this seems like a somewhat sad johnny-come-lately attempt to cash in on the Rifftrax/Film Crew success. Still, I'll definitely check them out and if they make me laugh, well, hey, that's what it's all about.
