I'm curious about this too, as I've heard it in other episodes.

Final Sacrifice somewhat spoiled what should have been a poignant cut-scene in FFXIV: Heavansward when an NPC reacted after being shot at from behind and all I could think in my head was "YOU SHOT ME IN THE BUTT! WHAT THE HELL?"

One of these eons, I'll accidentally run across the episode of MST3K that I haven't seen, but one I saw the previews for.

This was back on the Comedy Central (or maybe the Comedy Channel) days. There was an advertisement for the show. Not for a specific episode, but just the show in general. The character on the screen, who I remember being a creepy old dude, told the person(s) he was with that in order to do what he was doing (hypnotism, mind control, something like that), he needed total silence so he could concentrate. Immediately, Joel and the robots began to loudly murmur.

I have no idea what that's from, and probably never will. But one day....

The problem is every other movie has creepy old hypnotists. Try Devil Doll, She Creature, The Undead.

So this week we lost:
  • Mary Tyler Moore (see that sketch where Crow dressed up as her)
  • Mike "Touch" Connors of Swamp Diamonds and much more
  • Barbara Hale of Giant Spider Invasion and Perry Mason (and many other projects)
And now John Hurt. :(

Please roll over your partner down a hillside today in honor of those who rolled into the pasture over there.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
In other news, Joe Warren, the son of Hal Warren (the director of Manos), is trying to trademark the name "Manos: The Hands of Fate" which would make it much harder for fan-works based on it to be legal (currently Manos is fully in the public domain so they don't really need to do anything to achieve that). Ben Solovey (who did the Manos HD restoration and is currently working on a 4K restoration of The Atomic Brain) is raising funds to pay a lawyer to contest the trademark application.

I understand the disappointment, but threatening to withhold future things like that is kind of petty. The updates go out to ~50,000 people. There's no reason to pack up your ball and go home because of one or two careless backers. He came off really condescending and lovely.

Yeah, I'm not a backer (I'm broke) but I feel like if you put something out on the internet, it's going to get leaked and you can't complain too much about that. Especially at this point in the project. It's not like there really is any damage done. You can come out and tsk a bit but you can't really go beyond that.

They ended up with extras of a certain kickstarter reward. Joel sent out the purchase links in a kickstarter update, but said it was "just for backers" and requested that we "keep this to friends and family for now".

He's a wisecracker!
That's a pretty substantial reward, though. It makes sense to me that he wanted to give it as a bonus just to those who paid to make the new season happen. He didn't want it to get flooded across the internet and all the tickets bought instantly so that people who actually backed the project might miss the chance. He doesn't really owe updates to people at all, and he's been trying to make the fact that so many people gave all that money actually special. If it all goes out to everyone whether they paid or not, especially something as exclusive as those screenings, why should he bother?
