I’m Worried About Bill.

March 26th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 20 Comments

Folks, please join me in my concern for fellow Riffer Bill Corbett. A series of seemingly unrelated events has been strung together by his latest bizarre missive renouncing, of all things, bacon.
It started as a lark, a curiosity really; last Saturday morning when I was preparing to cook some lovely bacon, our pup Boomer began […]

I Found It. It’s In Newfoundland.

February 21st, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 32 Comments

Here it is. In case you didn’t know, or had just lost interest in it until recently and were wondering where it is. Who knew? It’s about sixty miles west of St. John’s, just off the Trans-Canada Highway on the scenic Baccalieu Trail. It’s small, but quite pretty, and a pleasant distraction from the […]

ResembleFest Results…Fest.

February 20th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 24 Comments

First of all, thanks to all of you who feel that I may or may not resemble one person or another. Without you, this exercise would merely be annoying and self-indulgent. After asking you to suggest people that, in spite of my best efforts, I look nothing like, you sent in thousands (dozens) […]

ResembleFest Update

February 12th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 20 Comments

After my stunning declaration that I am not now nor have never been Canadian frontman Randy Bachman, the images of people who don’t remotely resemble me in any way have been rolling in. ResembleFest (I created that title) is underway! Hundreds (dozens) of you have sent in images of people that you […]

I Am Not Randy Bachman. Period.

February 8th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 86 Comments

Okay, Let’s get something straight right away: I’m not, nor have I ever been, legendary rock guitarist Randy Bachman.
Never sang “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” Don’t know the words to “Let It Ride,” can barely fake it through “Got No Time.” I don’t play guitar very well at all. I’m not […]

Added to blogroll: Bacon.com

February 4th, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 44 Comments

Since we have more bacon-related posts and references than the average site (evidence: here, here, here (sorta), and here [last paragraph]), I thought it was high time for a little synergy.It seemed especially fitting since the Rifftrax Blog’s original purpose — the promotion, discussion, and general appreciation of HATS — has become a bit […]

Thank You San Francisco!

January 20th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 27 Comments

 

Thanks for making Rifftrax Live at the SF Sketchfest such a blast. We were treated like old friends by a sell-out crowd at the gorgeous Castro Theater. Many thanks to Sketchfest founders David Owen, Cole Stratton and Janet Varney and their team who work their keesters off to put on the best festival […]

What the Hell is Going On?!

January 15th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 18 Comments

Man. I step away for two minutes and I find yet another conspiracy simmering away right under our very noses.

This is Dame Edith Sitwell, Woman of Letters, esteemed poet, critic, novelist, droll defender of literary modernism. She died in 1964 at the age of 77….Or did she?

This is “Trent Reznor,” as […]

Rockin Da Haus!

January 11th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 22 Comments

 
I’m always on the lookout for the exciting new talent on the hip young youth scene of today, and damned if I didn’t find something entirely new: THE SKATOPHILES!

This music is so sharp it can pop a truck tire! Not only do these guys rock, but they rock in one of their guys’s bedrooms! […]

Edmund Hillary

January 11th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 7 Comments

Nothing funny here, just a brief tribute. I haven’t many heroes, but Edmund Hillary was one. Beyond any one of his accomplishments was the beautiful entirety of the life he lived, which he insisted was not beyond the reach of anyone with the will to do so.
And he was so astonishingly normal through all of […]

George Lucas and Me

January 8th, 2008 by Kevin Murphy · 21 Comments

Since we’re heading to the Bay Area soon for another Rifftrax Live, I thought I’d better work on my George Lucas impression.

Hmm? What do you think? I know I need to work on the hair. The hair’s tough, believe me. I tried clown white, no dice, so I dodged it in […]

This is VERY Important!

December 27th, 2007 by Kevin Murphy · 22 Comments

Drop everything you’re doing and help me out here! This kind of sinister conspiracy can’t go on if whistleblowers like us keep vigilant!
First, take a look at this. It’s the most recent version of the Fifty Dollar bill…
Now take a look at the most recent version of Ed Asner, and…
Who […]

Mike Nelson Goofs on a Holiday Special From a long time ago, and a decade far, far away…

December 21st, 2007 by torgosPizza · 10 Comments

via eFilmCritic
by U.J. Lessing
The question that has bugged Star Wars aficionados for many years is why George Lucas followed up the quintessential science-fiction film, Star Wars, with such an infamous disaster. Before The Empire Strikes Back, Lucas spearheaded the 1978 catastrophe, “The Star Wars Holiday Special.” This two-hour primetime show follows Chewbacca and his family […]

Speaking of Facial Hair…

December 3rd, 2007 by Kevin Murphy · 13 Comments

There’s been a torrent of controversy about mustaches in the world press lately, no doubt sparked by the volatile situation in Pakistan, where President Musharraf tearfully relinquished his mustache to civilian authority. All over the web, “top-ten mustache” lists are cropping up like “top-ten anything else you can think of” lists, and after a long […]
