I'm excited but here's my issue...

- Joel is not my favorite host and I think the quality of writing and the comedy and jokes got better with Mike as the host.

- The reason MST3K worked well is because of the writing staff they got with the inclusion of Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy and Mike Nelson. With those 3 working on Rifftrax, Joel's going to have to find some good writing team.

- Joel has already failed at Cinematic Titanic. I watched CT and Joel brought the rest of the MST3K cast that wasn't working on Rifftrax. And it just wasn't that good. I don't think the style worked and the jokes were devoid of energy and fun. With MST3K you had a Shakespeare quote in one scene and a fart joke in the next and it would work. The writing in CT wasn't as punchy. There were too many personalities to include. There wasn't a mixture of personalities in extremes who could go crazy or yell or "break" from how bad the movie was.

I don't hate Joel by any means. But the nostalgia the fans will have might give us all let downs.

And really? The director of Fast And Furious? The one positive is that Simon Pegg wrote it...but Beastie Boys in Star Trek? We all remember all those popular songs in all the other Trek things too right? X
