Update: RiffTrax to Live Tweet the Oscars

Just a little while ago Bill tweeted:

ANNOUNCEMENT: since NOBODY ELSE will be live tweeting the Oscars on Sunday, RiffTrax will step up and do it. More soon!

More info here.

Go here to make sure you’re following everybody.

P.S. I also plan to live tweet the Oscars, if I can stop laughing long enough.

    Actually, somebody else IS live tweeting the Oscars – Paula Poundstone and NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.

    https://twitter.com/waitwait

    Between the two of them, tomorrow will certainly be a night to remember!

    Don’t people just tweet all the time, regardless of the event? I’ve never tweeted before. I’ve tooted, twiddled, tickled, twisted but never tweeted.

    What’s it like?

    I don’t tweet or put up with NPR, but if I did care about such things I’m sure the night’s highlight would still be the Oscars special show put on by the experts of On Cinema At The Cinema.

    Only downside to this: you have to watch the Oscars…

    You’re right #4, Can’t sit through the Oscars. It would be easier to watch a 24 hour unriffed Manos marathon. Will still enjoy the live tweeting.

    Awesome! When’s the 24 hour unriffed Manos marathon? I want them to live tweet that event! That’s watching it 16 times in a row! Dr. F would be so proud! Just imagine the riffing by hour 15!

    I think by hour 15 of Un-riffed Manos there would just be crying. Not sure how they could tweet that though.

    24 hours od riffing Manos. As the doctor said
    at the end of Bridge on the River Kwai:

    Major Clipton: Madness! Madness!

    Then again it could be worse. For example, 24 hours of The Blood Waters of Doctor Z.

    Better than the Oscars:
    Riding with Death
    Danger: Diabolik
    The Creeping Terror
    Bloodlust
    Time Chasers
    Indestructible Man
    The Deadly Bees
    ….that’s how I spent my snow filled weekend.

    Better stop throwing that O-word around. Don’t wanna get sued by the AMPAS.

    Quick, one-question survey: What’s worse, a cold toilet seat or a warm toilet seat? (Both, of course, are preferable to sitting through a Hollywood award ceremony.)

    I’m planning on watching “The Little Gold Statue Preview Special”, followed by the SCTV episode with “The People’s Golden Global Choice Awards”. I’ll check the tweets when I can.

    Comment on last night’s tweet of the oscars. Didn’t really work for me (not a tweeter) but an interesting idea. Ended up monitoring the boys individual tweets and the rifftraxoscar tweet separately. I didn’t get a fair amount of the riffer’s jokes (they seemed to be inside jokes). The delay of the tweets sort of blows that one element of comedy that is so important… timing. Alot of jokes were like B-52 bombers that you could hear coming from miles away before they dropped their payload. There were some very funny comments though (Mike’s comment about the old lady showing her goods for nothing knocked me over).
    I want to mention Sampo’s riffing on the general channel. Your a funny guy.
