Joel sells out!

And they're going to leave the fourth movie for a surprise, which I think is a good idea.

I pledged, i.e., pre-ordered the Blu-ray with a couple of perks.

Is it still possible to pledge/pre-order the Blu-ray? Or will it be for sale after the fact? Once I read about Trace and Frank, I was sold.

I don't think you can pledge anymore, but they will certainly be available for purchase after the fact.

The premiere dates on the Rifftrax site have been announced.

Sting of Death: October 9

Deathsport: October 23

Mystery Title: October 30 (Best Friends subscription), November 6 (everyone)

Space Raiders: November 20

And they send us the pre-ordered box set sometime in December. That's what matters to me. I won't be watching the episodes as the debut, I'm going to use that Best Friends sub to watch stuff I don't already own. So no spoilers!

So I gather folks who didn't back the campaign have a choice of streaming them by subscribing to Rifftrax (would take two months sub to see them all), purchasing downloads directly, or waiting until the Blu-ray is released (I assume it will be sold to the general public, but I'm not sure?)

In the not too distant future, Tomorrow PM.

I won't be seeing it in the theater so if you report minimize spoilers, please.

The following should be spoiler-free. But since some might have different ideas as to what constitutes a spoiler, I'll black out the text anyway. Highlight at your own risk.

Saw this last Wednesday and it was a fun episode. The movie itself (from the director of Wild Rebels) was excruciating.

New hallway sequence has four sections. First a theater lobby, then a scene from 2001, then a scene from The Shining ("Come play with us, Mike. Forever!"), then a film repository (which had the Laserblast aliens during one passthrough).

Host segment count has been severely reduced. Basically, they are down to a prologue, an intermission, and an epilogue.

The opening shows Mike working at the Mooselick County Dairy Co-op. AFAIK there is no official word on whether or not it's the same place he was working at in 1985 as seen in Time Chasers.
