Nelson kicks Cruise while he's down! The latest DVD riffentary from Mike Nelson of MST3K fame reams none other but Mister Scientology himselvis, by chance hot on the heels after Viacom/Paramount threw Tom off their wagon. Strangely enough, he may discover in the weeks to come a curious increase in royalties for Cocktail DVDs. Kinda fitting, don'tcha think? (previously on MeFi. And also Digg'd.)

This post was deleted for the following reason: a post about rifftrax was good, but one new movie in their catalog? meh



 
Huh? Guy makes an inane crack about Tom Cruise on his blog and it's a FPP? Is there something I am missing here?

I'm thinking that if the usual shtick of this rifftrax site was widely known (well, by me anyway), this lame webpage you sent me to would make an iota of sense.
Such knowledge would not, however, improve its quality.

Sorry. I was fresh out of youtube links.

Not to pile in on this but...
So some guy with a web page I've never heard of is talking crap about a hugely successful celebrity with a net worth of over a hundred million dollars?

I don't think a DVD commentary track behind a paywall qualifies as a good MeFi post.

I like Mike Nelson a good deal, and I still don't see any reason for this to be here.

I'm going to take a crack at this.

Guide to this post with additional links that probably should have been there:

RiffTrax: Alternate comedy audio tracks you download and put on your iPod and listen to while you watch a movie. Learn more.

(Mike) Nelson: RiffTrax creator, also host/writer of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. More on him.

MST3K: Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Comedy snarking during old movie viewing.The website.

"Threw Tom off their wagon" = Paramount recently fired Tom Cruise.

Himselvis = Awesome typo?

And this is a comedy track for Cocktail.
