Scenes from the CT ShowFor those who haven’t heard, the sold out Cinematic Titanic show last weekend in L.A. was, by all accounts, a smashing success. The Wired blog was there. So was Film Threat.
Those of you who get the Cinematic Titanic newsletter got a few photos, taken by a photographer named Joe Targownik. Here some of the ones we liked, along with a few they didn’t send, that we also liked and Joel allowed us to post. Click on each for larger versions.

The live CT shows are in L.A. The live Rifftrax shows are in Minn and CA. No love for Chicago area. That’s what I get for living near the best city in the whole wide world.

:smile: Glad to hear that you had a sold out show! Congratulations!! You’re all looking good. :cool:
Looks like it was a big success. Now how about bringing this show to the New York City area. :mad:
It was a great show despite the heat! I hope they come back soon and do it again!
Boy, was that movie BAAAAD.
I have said it once and probably a hundred more times. It sucks to be on the east coast. Good to hear the show was good though. I wouldn’t expect anything less.
East coast MSTies need to unite! We are sorely neglected by this super-cool group of people! :cry:
Even Jerry Lewis came to the local college here in south GA. Come on CT! Tour South GA!!
East Coast bias! I live in Jersey, and I would absolutely travel up to NYC to see CT or Rifftrax live.
I just bought 3 seats to the live CT show in October in Minneapolis. To quote an extremely funny movie that was not a stinker,”This is gonna be great!”
What a day! Besides getting seats to the live show in October, my DVD of Doomsday Machine arrived today in the mail. Now we just need to find cheapish airfare from the east coast to Minneapolis in October.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe with all the success of the live shows and the dvd’s some forward-thinking TV exec will pick up Cinematic Titanic as an actual TV show. Wouldn’t that be cool?
I watched Doomsday Machine last night. It’s terrific! More polish on the production and more references to MST3K past than the first CT episode and Oozing Skull was great. High joke density and plenty of good ones with great delivery from the entire cast.
Doomsday Machine is one of the oddest, cheapest SF movies I’ve seen and I’ve made it a mission since I was a kid to watch just about any old SF movie possible no matter how cheap or badly made.
I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t had a chance to watch Doomsday Machine yet, so I’ll avoid specifics of the film or the jokes here for now. Let me just say that Joel and friends have really found an odd stinker and one of the worst movies they’ve ever done in Doomsday Machine. It has some of the worst qualities of Manos (continuity and pacing), Rocketship X-M (for the padded, talky pre-launch set-up), Sidehackers (for the despicable, disgusting nature of one of the characters), Robot Monster (for SFX) and Monster A-Go Go (wait till you get to the last 10 minutes of this one!) combined into one film. It’s yet another show that will be funnier on the repeat viewings than the first viewing because the first time you watch it, when you’re also trying to follow the movie, the movie itself kills some of the fun it’s such a dud in spots.
It’s interesting to note that the film has a few recognizable names in it, Casey Kasem, Mike Farrell, and Bobby Van, yet the quality of the whole thing is hilariously abysmal. Well, it’s not like Bobby Van or Casey Kasem are best known for being actors and Doomsday Machine just barely manages to be a movie in spots.
Great going Cinematic Titanic both for the choice of film and what you did with it, I can’t wait to see more episodes and the live show. MST3K lives!
Was Doomsday Machine produced in 1974 or 1967? I see conflicting info on that. I’m wondering because it is a really bad movie. But all the bad qualities, which is all its qualities, are much more jarring if it was made in 1974, post-2001: A Space Odyssey.
Doomsday Machine is listed with a date of 1972 on IMDB.
