If you were a fan of the popular cult TV show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" you may be a bit surprised to find out that Mike, Crow, and Servo are still hard at work trying to keep their sanity by skewering movies that they're forced to watch. Of course they now have shed their TV alter egos and go by their real names, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett while they poke fun at movies as they roll by, and sadly the iconic movie theater silhouette is gone with little hope of it returning, however the substance and heart of MST3K is alive and well over at a little site on the internet called RiffTrax . These three joke masters aren't limited any longer to B-movies. They've girded up their loins and have successfully deflated the egos of some of the most popular and big budgeted movies of the past 12 years including "Avatar", "The Dark Knight", "Twilight", and one of my personal favorites, "The Room".For us comic book fanboys, RiffTrax provides a great service, that is, they give us a reason to like that comic book movie we hated!
