So this weekend, the excitement was going to see Cinematic Titanic! They were riffing a pretty spectacularly bad movie called "The Doll Squad," which is thought to maybe be an inspiration for Charlie's Angels. I actually managed to get there in a timely fashion, and thanks to it being a Sunday, even found some street parking so I didn't have to pay the $10 for parking! [Bonus Points: 1000]
One thing I didn't realize until afterwards, is that the Saban Theatre is actually the third incarnation of the historical Fox Wilshire Theatre, which premiered with the Marx comedy "Animal Crackers."

Anyway, if you haven't seen Cinematic Titanic, one of the offspring of the original Mystery Science Theater 3000, here's an example of their comedy, as they riff on another spectacularly bad movie, "East Meets Watts."
While hilarious, one might miss the robot puppets...but perhaps, after all, you can't have everything.
Afterwards, the group hung around and signed books and DVDs and probably tried in general not to get weirded out by all the MST3K fanatics.
It was a very nice night. Did I mention I didn't have to pay for parking?
Joel is thinking...."Hey, where's mike?"
