Looks like the CT board was busted or something when I tried to log on here just now, and noticed that my post from last night was gone, so I'll give it another shot. This was originally posted shortly after stumbling in the door from the Friday night late show, so it reads as if... well, as if it was written by someone who just stumbled in the door from the Friday night late show:
--------
Just stumbled in the door from the CT show, Wasp Woman. Before I go on with this horribly disassociated mess of a review, I want to send out a big "Hi-Keeba!" to Russ Fry from the Club MST3K Forum, who my pal and I ran into while we were in line outside the theater, and hung out and shot the s4%t with for a while. Great to meet'cha, man!
I wish I could post some of the best riffs from the show, but the whole thing sort of blasted by in a wonderful, massive blur. But trust me, it was made of awesome. I keep trying to rack my brain to fish out some favorite riffs from the evening, except they've already sunk into a massive soup of memories of an evening when I laughed until I hurt, nonstop. I hadn't laughed that hard that long since the first time I saw Experiment 421, Monster A Go-Go.
Sorry I can't recall the evening in better detail, other than to say that nearly every riff was one of those riffs that makes you totally lose it the first time you hear it. I do remember that Frank Conniff and J. Elvis did wonderful warm-up monologues; Frank's -- I think it was -- had a massively awesome joke about Arlington Cemetary vis-a-vis Robert E. Lee's front yard.
Oh, and I'm also rather pleased with myself in that one of my predictions came true -- the Frank Zappa reference, referring to the incidental music in the scene where the detectives are driving around trying to find the eccentric scientist after he's been injured after stepping off a curb in front of a car.
