I can't believe people are STILL arguing over "which is better," Cinematic Titanic or RiffTrax. Maybe it's a product of A/B 'thought process' here in the US -- along the same lines of why there are only two main political parties..?
I'm personally grateful and overjoyed that the concept & spirit of riffing cheesy movies hasn't fallen by the wayside. Joel and The Brains: thank you for inspiring at least a few of us to follow our creative dreams. Oh, and to laugh about love. Again. :)

IMO the writing of Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic are both great, but the RT guys are better performers with better voices. And CT has too many people and is too complicated. After watching Rifftrax first I can't watch this at all.

It's like the remake of Whose Line (Drew Carey's Improvaganza)
The original is usually better....
-
Rifftrax is a lot more accessible than this. I can just go there, flip through my DVD collection to find a suitable title, and download the track for a couple of U.S dollars.

@darthaardvark Red herring, man. I never said certain jokes were better than others, I said that the quality of Mike's jokes is better as a whole. This change in quality is apparent, especially on seasons 6 and on. Also, Mike was the head writer for a while, even while Joel was host. Regarding individual styles; I never said that the CT cast doesn't have them, I simply stated that with five riffers on screen at once, their styles will take longer to develop.

@NicosProductions agreed, but it kind of shows you their own individual styles, and pick out what jokes who wrote on MST3K

13 people's cars really milked their death scenes.

This unfortunately lacks the same punch as MST3K, which is surprising since there's 5 cast members though I never cared for Weinstein because he reminds me of the nerdy idiot from the Red Green Show. Pehl is alright but makes it obvious that she's reading lines. Other than the fact that it needs better/more jokes and would look better with the old theater layout, the rest of the show is fine.
-
@NicosProductions - i'd agree with that assessment. what i do enjoy about CT is that they continue to riff b-movies. RT has better jokes IMO though. though i died at the "they ransacked my apartment!" hahaha

@VlsraWratS You're so right...Joel and the 'Bots. Turn your lights down (where applicable). Cue music. "In the not too distant future...!"
Considering they've all worked together for MST3K 20th anniversary stuff lately, I don't think we have to worry about their being a "feud" between different MST3K folks.
I just love that we have TWO options available now, and that they're unique from one another.

Cinematic Titanic is great and all but I can't watch it without hearing a voice in my head constantly repeating "I wish this was MST3K. Dear God, I wish this was MST3K!"
