Weird Al Riffs Jurassic Park
RiffTrax managed to enlist "Weird Al" Yankovik to provide a commentary with Mike Nelson for Jurassic Park.I've mentioned RiffTrax before - their riffing on Star Trek V remains, of the several I've seen so far, my favorite. I was a big fan of Mystery Science Theater: 3000 in the past, and it's nice to still be able to get together with friends for "MST-3K parties"... only these days, we're as likely to watch a Rifftrax commentary on a more popular movie as to put in a 15-year-old videotape.
And, like many geeks, I'm a Weird Al fan.
So... we've got the MST-3K style treatment of a Steven Spielberg film, featuring Weird Al... It sounds like it's got the makings of a geektastic winner here, so long as they don't screw it up! :)
We're already making plans for a get-together to watch this one. I only have Jurassic Park on videotape, though... we'll have to see if anyone in our group has it on DVD.
Anyway, you can pick up the Rifftrax recording here:

Drat. Now I've got Weird Al's "Jurassic Park" song stuck in my head...
