krpalmerI still haven't bothered to try out any of Mike Nelson's post-Mystery Science Theater 3000 endeavour, the "Rifftrax." A part of me keeps telling all my other parts that I'm being ungratefully stubborn just because my peculiar tastes haven't aligned one hundred percent with someone else's, and yet there is another part of me, schooled from the reading of many MSTings, that wonders about how well I'd react to a big-budget movie treated to "riffing" as compared to the minimal-budget movies (and occasional higher-budget yet dubbed foreign feature) that was all the series could afford.
However, I did come across one little piece of "Rifftrax" news of late that didn't leave me as ambiguous as before: Mike Nelson is going to record one for "Jurassic Park," and "Weird Al" Yankovic is going to be a guest riffer. Even if I never get around to renting this movie, either, it's still a somehow pleasant concatenation of pop culture to contemplate, and I do recall one music television special "Weird Al" created where he was more or less "riffing" over a music video. He might have drowned out more of the original material than the Mystery Science Theater crew does, but it was still entertaining.
