Last year, a movie called Twilight premiered in theaters some time around Thanksgiving. If you understandably don't remember it, it had something to do with teenage angst and vampires (Ooh, there's a pairing). Reportedly, it did pretty good business, but I decided to skip it. Not my thing. But now I envision a reason to actually sit down and watch the apparent time waster: Mystery Science Theater 3000. Sure, MST has been out of commission for more than a decade now, but there's always RiffTrax or any of the other offshoots. Check out the clip below to see how great a little MST would go over on something that, based on the three minutes on display, is wholly devoid of anything worth sitting through.
In case you couldn't tell, the funny folks behind MST and its “kids” had nothing to do with this. All of the riffs flying across the silhouette theater are simply pulled from former episodes. But they sure do match up with what's on screen pretty well. I guess that bad is bad no matter the movie, so a Grade Z stinker has the same problems as big Hollywood products, and the jokes apply either way. So here's hoping that RiffTrax gets around to this one. They wouldn't even have to work hard to come up with the material, it seems. But no matter how “phoned-in” it could be (and it rarely is), at least it will make this Twilight movie worth watching.
