Star Crash has one of the single best moments in the entire series. Carnival Magic is a pretty great riff too. I think Cry Wilderness is right up there for me though.

Been watching the eps all week through the kickstarter, and I just love everything about the new series. The one thing I'll say is that the season doesn't really have that totally inept move that was a hallmark of the old series. Nothing on the Coleman Francis level of bad. Most are boring/bad, but not unwatchably bad. This isn't necessarily a complaint. I kind of prefer the riffing on the more competent movies. Carnival Magic is the closest, but even that's kind of strangely watchable. But each of the movies fits into the overall themes established by the series. The only one I don't really care for is Beast of Hollow Mountain. That one just didn't come together for me as a riff/movie combo. The celeb cameos didn't do a ton for me either. But the music bits and visual gags in the theater are top notch. I'll be watching these over and over and over again though.

Bicyclops posted:So far, The Time Travelers is like, maybe even a movie I'd watch on its own. It also has some of my favourite Servo bits of miming to the screen, with trying to pull the lever in the first scene with Danny; and the rocketship. Jack Gladney posted:The robot visuals and dismemberments are really distinctive and done very nicely. Heh, I'm pretty sure that's why they even have Jonah comment on the robot assembly scene without it really even being a joke (other than the bots not understanding that it's a special effect). I also enjoy Kinga giving Jonah notes for his performance on his ship's console during the open. If they get renewed they should do more with that, maybe change the text every ep. Gypsy's got a very high batting average with her riffs. Now partly that's because she only does 2 or 3 an episode, so Rebecca can make sure they land, but honestly, I feel like they should just rotate the bots. Have an episode with Jonah, Servo and Gypsy. We don't need to have a 'reason' Gypsy's watching the movies now. The show being in widescreen, plus I think the new Gypsy puppet is narrower at her 'head', should make it less obtrusive anyway.

I never watched it but I remembered reading a feature on it in the early '80s in a very, very old FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine owned by a cousin. It played up the makeup effects on the mutants and androids, so when I saw they were doing this it triggered a wave of nostalgia. Fun fact: Jonah and the Bots point out that Forrest "Forry" Ackerman makes a cameo in the movie - he was the editor of the magazine.

I only know his fatter old-man look from Sci-Fi Buzz on 90s Sci-Fi Channel Saturday mornings.

They talk about it a couple of times over the first few episodes Quoting myself but at about 34:10 into The Land that Time Forgot, they do a commercial bumper that explains the liquid thing: "The God Monitor uses Kinga's liquid television technology, KingaChrome, to transmit images and sound in Moon 13."

Another thing I've noticed, the later episodes seem to have better subtitling on Netflix. The first few hosed up the theme song lyrics (most pedantically annoying was that they missed the "for" in "For Mystery Science Theater 3000!") but from about ep 4 on, they seem to be getting much more on the ball. Edit: gently caress, I just realised the band's helmets and Moon 13's logo are meant to mimic the syringes/icepicks/whatever-the-fucks in Kinga's hair. And they're getting good mileage in the skits out of Felicia's inability to do accents (which, she really, really can't.) Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Apr 15, 2017 |

I can't tell is Meep Morp is a Steven Universe sufferance, or just a Justin Roiland character name. I love the commercial breaks, even thought they're pointless, they're enjoyable, plus cool versions of old MST3k songs.

What the gently caress, Cry Wilderness? I love it so far. I think it really holds up and everything works well. The only casting complaint I have isn't even on them, but myself: I'm not used enough to Baron Vaughn's Tom Servo to easily differentiate his voice from Jonah's. I'll get it eventually--the character's not really different, just the pitch. Good stuff. I needed something like this right now.

I have the most trouble when Baron or Jonah are doing a voice for someone on-screen. Their own (or well, 'Servo's' own) voices are easy enough to tell apart, but when they affect an accent or pitch, it's very hard.

I honestly wonder if it would have been better with Baron as host and Jonah as Servo. At least, that's the impression their voices are giving me so far.

Their own (or well, 'Servo's' own) voices are easy enough to tell apart, but when they affect an accent or pitch, it's very hard. Maybe that's got something to do with it, yeah. I didn't think about that, but since it happens (to me, at least) sometimes either way, it's probably not that alone. I can sort of see some of the "over-rehearsed" complaints now that I've seen them, but I don't think that's a major detractor. Can't fault 'em for wanting to make it as polished as possible. If you're gonna gently caress up, I think you can do a whole lot worse than being so prepared that it's a touch unnatural. I've also heard from a backer I know that's been watching it for a week already that they all seem to sorta get into the groove of things more as it goes, which was good to hear since I personally didn't have many real complaints from the start. edit: Rollersnake posted:I honestly wonder if it would have been better with Baron as host and Jonah as Servo.

As MST3K never aired in Canada, never saw those. Starcrash is a movie I saw as a kid. it was probably on some saturday or sunday afternoon and I'd watch anything if it was sci-fi or fantasy. Until this I thought it and Ice Pirates were the same movie.

Watching a bit more, I think the bubble thing is, yes, in-story supposed to be air or something in the tubes for Kinga's liquid film thing, but in reality, I think it's covering them splicing multiple takes together.

I was kinda bummed that I'd not seen any of these before, but it's probably best that way. I dunno if I could have tolerated them without their input. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I really dig the updated mobility and participation of the bots in sight gags. Having Gypsy in a more involved role's neat, too. At first I thought it was off-putting that she gets so few, terse lines, but then when I considered how off-putting it'd be if she were more involved I think they probably got that about right. The addition of a band's pretty cool in general. I like the bogus commercial breaks--at least they don't have the actual ads. Yeah, I like it. edit: howe_sam posted:This movie is a fever dream. That's a good way to put it, and in that respect it's pretty Pod People-y. The total lack of concern for making sure the video quality of the stock footage is consistent, alone, makes it kinda surreal, but when you factor in the writing it actually feels drat-near arthouse. Not in a very pleasant way. edit 2: JESUS CHRIST, I POSTED THAT ABOUT THREE MINUTES BEFORE THE SONG AT THE END KICKED IN. WH--?!

It's so bad on a conceptual level, yet someone gave them enough money for the ridiculous amount of animals on screen (not all of them were stock footage.) Also, there's been a saying in movie-making for decades before this movie was made, "never work with animals or kids." Whoever made this movie was just like, "gently caress THAT!"
