100 Movies, #7: Jurassic Park, with commentary by Mike Nelson and Weird Al (2007)

This was unquestionably the highlight of my day offline, my first time using Rifftrax. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and sundry others write commentary, and Mike delivers it, in files you download to play in sync with your DVD. Or, in my case, you snag the thing from a Bit Torrent site with the extra sound embedded, laugh yourself hoarse, and go to

See, I think that Mike is said to be kind of mean just because he makes fun of the movie and characters way more than he makes funny observations about the movie.

Joel would say, "I bet Nedry's just a misunderstood guy..." and come up with a funny story about his childhood that explains his dumb actions.

Mike would just mock Nedry.

Personally I prefer the second, but they're both funny.

The really funny thing, though, is that my wife and I watched this exact one night before last. It was great. I also loved The Matrix riff that they did.

I highly recommend Cinematic Titanic. It's Joel, Trace, TV's Frank, the first Frank, and Mary Jo Pehl all doing their thing once again. Similar but quite different, as it should be.

They sell theirs on DVD, but I'd wager you could BitTorrent it and absolve later.

Definitely planning to check them out.
