Got an email update from Shout, this was a nice surprise! They've added a free poster to all existing and future pre-orders:

...and now Amazon's price is $25.95. Rapidly approaching less than $2 an episode/movie.

I ended up cancelling my shout order for Amazon. The poster was a neat surprise, but I'd prefer to save $25.

The poster would be cool to have, but the Amazon deal is just too good to pass up. I was worried I was never going to be able to complete my CT collection until SHOUT announced this set. The Amazon pre-order price is the cherry on top.

Is the consensus among you guys that "Cinematic Titanic" is a reasonable replacement to the original series ?? Man, I don't know if it just takes getting used to the strange set-up, the audience guffaws, or what, but I just can't get any laughs out of the 5-minute previews on you tube whatsoever... I really want to like it, especially since we aren't getting a new release this summer, but I feel like if I order it, I will be selling it at cut rate on ebay a week later. Truth be told, I think the original Minneapolis episodes are actually pretty rough to get through. I know, I know, I will probably be tarred & feathered, but I'm spoiled by the Comedy/Sci-Fi run, one of the greatest comedies ever aired...

I know, I know, I will probably be tarred & feathered, but I'm spoiled by the Comedy/Sci-Fi run, one of the greatest comedies ever aired... The original KTMA/local Minneapolis episodes are hard to get through because the riffing was improvised and not scripted like all the Comedy Central and Sci-Fi Channel episodes were. That's why they are not near as funny as the episodes that were to follow on cable. I think Cinematic Titanic is very funny. Obviously some episodes are a lot better than others. My favorite episode is The Alien Factor. Some of my other favorites are: Legacy of Blood, Danger on Tiki Island, and War of the Insects. In general I think their live material is usually their best and often on par with some of the best MST3K episodes. Everyone has different tastes though. Hope this helps a little.

Thank you. I guess they were obviously tightening it up as they went on way back then. I also may have to give Cinematic Titanic another try when it's released then, maybe borrowing or renting a copy. There are too many of you guys speaking so highly of it, for there not to be quality there.

I think the biggest Cinematic Titanic detractors on this board are Mr. Atari and Bob3k, so there are people who don't like it. Atari took issue with the movie selection, which he deems "ugly," while Bob feels that the delivery feels too scripted.
Like everything it's subjective, but while CT is fairly beloved it is criticized. I love it quite a bit personally. I find the trash movies part of the "wow" factor and while I am sensitive to scripted delivery (I was always more aware of it on Rifftrax than CT, to be honest) if I find the lines clever and funny it hardly matters.
