First off I just have to say that you guys are Hilarious.  I've been watching you guys since the 90's and you never got old.

Second there is a shocking lack of Video Game based movies.  Who could such awesomely bad movies as

Super Mario Brothers (1993) - "Trust the Fungus"

Dragonball Z: Evolution ("Kamehame-THATSNOTCANON!!-HAAAA")

Mortal Kombat: Annialation (1997) - "Nightwolf: Feel your Animality! "

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale -  "Give me the chicken! "

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) "Fathers always have a weakness for their daughters."

Street Fighter: The Movie - "GAME OVER!!"

Anyway keep up the good work!!

One thing I miss aout the old MST3k vs Rifftrax is the visual gags you could pull off by being on the bottom of the screen...  Ever thought about re-integrating that, at least in the VODs?

Watch this movie...  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085792/

It is so what you need to do...  I could probably consider my life complete with a VOD Rifftrax of this...  I would make it myself, but I doubt I would be very good at it.

Happy B-day to the RiffMaster himself, Michael J. Nelson!

Hope to hear you do Captain America: the First Avenger, Mike! Keep up the good funny work!

Hey Mike,

I just watched Thor with the rifftrax! Well done on that RiffTrax! Speaking of Riffs, here are the ideas I kept posting, along with some new ideas!

Animated Tv Shows, Specials and Movies 

-My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (S1E01): Friendship is Magic, Part 1 (Rated TV-Y, but has an internet following) (Along with Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy) (Categorized in RiffTrax Shorts) (22 Minutes) (as a vod and/or commentary)

-My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (S1E02): Friendship is Magic, Part 2 (Rated TV-Y, but has an internet following) (Along with Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy) (Categorized in RiffTrax Shorts) (22 Minutes) (as a vod and/or commentary)

-Steamboy (Rated PG-13) (With Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy, and maybe Weird Al Yankovic) (Maybe in time for the London 2012 Olympic Games, because the movie is set in the United Kingdom of Great Britain) (example of jokes: Steve Jablonsky's music, because he also did Transformers and Gears of War 2 and 3; England jokes [as long as it's not too offensive]; Doing made up songs to Raiders' March [From Indiana Jones Series] and the Superman Theme Song; Anna Paquin voicing a boy in the movie and her career [including True Blood]; doing some jokes in British accents; and some others.)

timservo3000

big fan from day one mike. good to see you back

Mike,

Thanks to you, Kevin, and Bill for all the laughter you've given me over the years.  I was and am a huge MST3K fan and now a Rifftrax fan.  Here's hoping much like the Energizer Bunny, you 3 keep going and going.  Keep making us laugh!

Kevin

I just thought of something great that i'm sure you, kevin, and Bill would really like!! It involves Netflix and the xbox-360. Xbox-360 has the ability to stream Netflix movies and shows that you can watch instantly (which there are an enormous amount of movies and shows to watch instantly). The thing that is great about it is that before you start to watch a movie or show, you can start what is called a "Party" in which you can invite up to a full theaters worth of your friends (even non-friends) on xbox-live. And as long as you have a microphone you can all talk to eachother while watching the movie or show. When i realized this i thought "Gee, i bet the guys from MST3K would love this b/c they could riff on movies and/or shows, LIVE, with fans that love to hear them!!" So yeah, i just thought you might like to know that, b/c it would mean the world to me to be in the same party as you guys listening to what you do best while watching the movie you tear apart!! (P.S. long time fan. I been watching MST3K since i was 4 years old).

When will the next Rifftrax live in the theaters event be?  I'm tired of all the FX crapaganzas that the theaters show.

 A little known fact is that mike is also the quarterback for the san deigo chargers.

I just want to say you ROCK! I stumbled upon Mystery Science Theater and I fell in love with it! Now knowing you guys are still out there and doing more movies just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks for making thoes horrible movies barable with your humor. I couldn't sit through the Final Sacrafice if it wasn't for you guys! :) Thanks again and keep on Riffing! 

It's Thanksgiving, and I thought it appropriate to let you, Mr. Mike Nelson, know how very, very thankful I am for you. Without exaggeration, you have been one of the most important people in my life and I honestly don't think I would have made it this far without you. Please allow me to explain, and I hope Mike can find the time to read this, or an appropriate party can get this (or at least the jist of it) to him.

In a nut shell, I came from an extremely unstable, drug-addicted, and abusive home. Almost every day of my life, either me, or my mother were getting brutally beaten by my father. That is to say, the days one or both of them weren't in jail or just flat out adbandoned me for weeks at a time. You'd think them being gone would be better, but that usually meant I got shulled off to some sketchy foster home, or ill-funded youth authority home. And I want to tell you this Mike, the only thing in the world louder than the deafing crack of domestic violence, is the laughter I would get from watching MST3K. Walling up in my room, and turning up the volume louding so I couldn't hear the fighting was the only thing that made it OK. I've lived with severe depression and PTSD since those times, but just hearing your voice, or you cracking a joke or something brings me happiness and comfort like nothing else can. The entrance music brings a smile cheek to cheek, because I know for at least an hour or so, life won't be too bad. I've never met you, and I don't know you as a person, but I really don't think I've had a better friend than you Mike. I could always, always count on you, and you've never let me down. Not even once. And I just wanted you know  how much that means to me, and that you're appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving Mike. I hope you and your family have a very happy and safe holiday. Thanks for taking the edge off life for me. I'm honestly not sure I wouldn't have gotten this far witout you.

God bless

Dann

Hi Mike. You guys should put your Rifftrax on iTunes. I have a bunch of friends with ipods that love Rifftrax but their parents won't order Rifftrax for them. It will open up a whole new audience (teenagers). Teens now watch this stuff ffrom youtube. Look of "Best of Rifftrax" if you don't all ready know. The movies will still cost about the same thing but now kids ccan get them on their own free will. This would be so boss.
You guys are really funny.
Do the 3rd Lord of the Rings and the rest of those Pirate movies (you can do alot with Davy Jones).

Hello, Mike!

Do you remember this show on TV that you used to work on, Mystery Science Theater 3000, I think it was called? More specifically, do you remember a movie that the show once featured, called Pod People? Even more specifically, do you remember how during the opening and closing credits there played footage of drunken hillbillies chasing an even more drunken alien through the woods? Well, that footage was from a film called *The Galaxy Invader*, and the worst mistake the brave men, women, and puppets who worked on MST3K ever made was not featuring that movie on the show.

Because the movie in question is bad, really, really, really bad, and you know what, I'm not even going to bother holding back anymore and call it the SINGLE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. We're talking worse than the Emmerich-Delvin Fraudzilla bad, WORSE than Coleman Francis bad, WORSE than the Star Wars Holiday Special bad, WORSE than Manos: The Hands of Fate bad, a movie so wretched, so hideous that it would make Rick Sloane cry. And if there were more formatting options available for me to use while typing this, you can bet I would have used them.

Don't believe me? Go ahead, watch it, dear Mike, and try not to wish even the tiniest bit of physical harm against Don Dohler, the writer/director/bit actor/filmmaker/etc. of this all-out attack on sanity, hope, beauty, art, and belief in the good of the human race (and all other species, I might add): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6504570739792576347&ei=eC4kS_-R...

I do have plans to create a commentary track of my own sometime in the future, but neither I nor my friends have the experience or skills to tackle such a horrid piece of straight-to-video-ness as this at the present time. You, sir, and the rest of the crew of MST3K are our last hope for survival. So please -- riff this movie (and it's in the public domain [unfortunately for the public], so you could release it on DVD! ;-) )!

Should you decide to take on this task, then I wish you good luck. Even you may need it.

By the way, when I finally finished the film (years after stopping it because I couldn't take it anymore, and this is from someone who sat through the whole 26 hours of the Star Wars Holiday Special), it put me into a depression for a couple of hours.

Also, I don't mean to sound cynical or pessimistic; I strive to remain hopeful and optimistic in life, because quite frankly, it's much more fun and healthy to be so.

Once again, good luck. If anyone can conquer The Galaxy Invader, you can!

Yours truly,
Peaky

P.S. Did I mention I hate *The Galaxy Invader*? Just asking.

Mr. Mike you're really great! I Love watching Mystery Science Theater 3000!

Mike, I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but I'm sure you won't mind hearing it again.

You, Kevin, and Bill are all fine examples of human beings, and you all make this world a better place. I have only one request: never retire.

You guys need to riff this movie. It's completely terrible.

Features female wrestlers, a man who gets a heart transplanted from an ape who then turns into a... bloody ape. It is a video nasty but insanely hilarious by itself. Not enough old bad movies.

Bill and Ted seems like the best choice to me - they've already done a kids cartoon, so we know it works in a different format!

I'magonnalevytowwwn...? Hey Mike and Co., been a fan for over a decade and I hope there are more of these live thingies to come. Thanks, Normalfoot

I don't know if you've seen it but it is so crazy bad you need to. Basically Lucifer's betrothed rides a demon train with college "friends" through Yugoslavia, death and insanity ensue.

LOVE RIFFTRAX AND MST3K YOU KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
