Mr Pearson started multiplying: 12 violations over 1,200 days, times three defendants (the Chungs and their son). He also included £7,500 ($15,000) to rent a car every weekend for several years, arguing that he didn't own a car and had to drive to a cleaner in another locality. He is also seeking £250,000 ($500,000) in emotional damages and £271,000 ($542,000) in legal fees, though he is representing himself. |

| But those self-described “Misties” are welcoming a resurrection of sorts. Mike Nelson, the show’s longtime host and head writer, has begun a new venture called RiffTrax, and he can now skewer virtually any movie without infringing on copyrights. Recordings of him talking back at movies can be downloaded (for fees ranging from 99 cents to $3.99) from rifftrax.com. Start playing the DVD or VHS version of the movie and Mr. Nelson’s commentary simultaneously, and the effect is that of a director commenting on a DVD — except that Mr. Nelson is inclined to say, as he does during a scene in “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” in which William Shatner climbs a mountain, “He’s actually trying to scale his own ego.” |
