Cinematic Titanic Sucks
Ok, come on we all love mst3k. Who doesn't? But the concept of the show simply doesn't hold up without the characters, Mike/Joel and their beloved robot friends Tom Servo and Crow. All of whom are missing from the new show, a factor which is painfully evident. We didn't just watch mst3k to see some guys make fun of B movies, we watched mst3k to see a guy stranded in space with his robot friends be forced to watch B movies and find solace by mocking them. That was entertaining, and made for a brilliant show that can be watched again and again. A bunch of guys standing on scaffolding or whatever the hell that is making riffing on B movies is not half as interesting or entertaining. Joel is a brilliant writer and comedian, I hope the show improves but from what I see at the moment I don't have much faith in the show.

That isn't really the new MST3K? Is it...tell me it ain't so!!!
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but you're in the minority amongst MSTies. Most of us have come to enjoy Rifftrax, The Film Crew, and are eagerly anticipating Cinematic Titanic. Try an episode or two before you judge it.
Remember: MST3K died in 1999, and it's never coming back. None of these new series are meant to be MST3K. They are meant to be making fun of bad movies -- which is really what MST3K was all about, let's not forget. The fact that we got cool characters and an amusing "story" to go along with it, well, that was just icing on the cake.
