40cakes- Anyone miss the snarky commentary on Mystery Science Theater 3000? The show's head writer and commentator Mike Nelson has created RiffTrax.com, which offers audio downloads of commentaries for feature-length DVDs for $2.99 a piece you can listen to on any MP3 device while you're watching movies or shows at home. Choose from new releases such as Eragon or Casino Royale, the pilots of Lost or Grey's Anatomy or clunkers from the past including Battlefield Earth and Ed Wood's Planet 9 From Outer Space. Nelson can be heard on most of the commentaries, either by himself or with his MST3K cohorts Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett.
Y'know, I love MST3K as much as the next person. It was a lovely show. And I'm glad to hear that they're keeping it alive here and there. But seriously, Mike, when it's just you in a recording booth giving your own personal commentary for Lost? Let it go. You're not terribly funny on your own. If you're so impatient that you couldn't wait for Kevin and Bill to finish dinner and come over and play...go get a job in accounting and wait for "Where Are They Now?" to come knocking. I'm worried about you. Hi-Keeba.
- Donald Trump is teaming up with Fox with a new reality project in development called Lady or a Tramp where party girls sent to charm school and then evaluated on their progress, per Variety. The program will be produced by RDF USA and Trump Prods.
That sound you hear is my mouth just opening, then shutting, then opening again, followed by a sigh.

FUCK.
Now I can't even have regular TV. I just can't. I'm not even gonna call Comcast to have shitty $10/month cable installed. I'm just going to watch DVDs forever and ever.
