MST3K/Rifftrax meetup
I love our little group that meets in Brooklyn (usually) once a month to watch a Rifftrax movie or MST3K episode. There was another one tonight. We watched The Last Airbender and hoo boy is it every bit as horrible as everyone said. More so, I think. Horrible acting, amazingly awkward dialogue (references to Tommy Wiseau and The Room were not at all unfitting), bizarre editing, and no storytelling skills whatsoever.
As usual, my navigational skills failed me when forced to make my way through the labyrinth of DUMBO, despite my having been to this particular meetup location several times before. I was glad to see that I was not alone in my befuddlement (though, I guess I should concede that most of those people were probably trying to find this place for the first time). I always have the vague thought as I enter the building (which is former munitions factory that has been adapted into a few lofts) that I'm either secretly in an Adrian Lyne film and on my way to a smutty tryst or in a horror movie about to be stabbed. This time I had the added joy of imagining that I was in A Serbian Film, where both those eventualities would be possible, perhaps at the same time, in a location such as this. Oh my dear brain, what have you become?!
Next month, we sparkle on with Eclipse ("Volturi - that's Chevy's new midsize sedan, right?"). Rifftrax is the only way to see the Twilight movies.
