Paul may actually be the most hate-worthy child to ever show up in a MST3K film. Annoying, doesn't listen, petulant, a huge racist...

I find I cannot hate Paul too much Mostly because he got mauled by a cougar and a pedophile wanted to take a bite out of him the entire goddamn film

On my second rewatch of Avalanche, I'm kinda having an internal war on whether I find Mia Farrow attractive or not. Things seems to alternate one way or another between scenes.

I'm At Earth's Core (zing) and drat the weird racism and misogyny is really out of whack. I think after watching this whole season and rewatching some episodes (I keep going back to the Land that Time Forgot the most), I've really warmed up to Jonah as a host. He really is that nice, somewhat dorky, but not embarrassingly so kid next door who's fun to hang out with.

It wasn't in the OP, and maybe it's been asked before, but where can I watch this outside of America? It's not on Netflix.

It's currently available only in English-speaking countries on Netflix. Joel has said he's trying to find ways to release the episodes elsewhere, but I don't think there's anything definite yet.

muscles like this! posted:I liked the reveal halfway through the season of how Kinga and Max were just stealing jokes for their part of the Invention Exchange. The way they didn't do one in the first episode now makes sense. Yea, I feel like anyone who has issues with that early on realizes that it was done on purpose.

Pakled posted:I thought Cry Wilderness was a ripoff of Harry and the Hendersons, but it turns out it came out a few months before Harry and the Hendersons. Sooo I guess it's one of those Gordy/Babe situations. Bigfoot movies and TV shows were a big deal in the 70s and into the 80s (although it tapered off a bit in the 80s). See: The Legend of Boggy Creek, Snowbeast, every third episode of In Search Of, or the bigfoot episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man. Harry and the Hendersons was a big budget late follower to the trend. Cry Wilderness was ... I guess a late zero budget trend follower? I bet it was "written" long before it was shot. Egbert Souse posted:I thought it was another Phillip Yordan who wrote Cry Wilderness. Not sure how he wrote that piece of poo poo after writing stuff like Johnny Guitar, The Man from Laramie, and El Cid. Holy poo poo. I think my brain just broke a bit. I love Johnny Guitar.

Yes, but they've said it won't be until some time next year. ja2ke posted:Given that Shout! is one of the production partners it seems like a Blu release is inevitable eventually, right? They're not just a production partner, they completely own the show now.

What I love about Cry Wilderness is how they imply that a pleasant ET like adventure happened a year before the film is set with the kid getting to know Big Foot, and instead of making that likely infinitely more salable movie we got this.

I didn't mean to imply it would be good, just more mainstream in it's sensibilities I guess. As it is, it comes across like an even lower budget sequel to an already low budget ET alike that coincidentally never actually got filmed

My favorite weird moment from Cry Wilderness is when the villain shares one of this knowing "Bigfoot exists and I'm going to kill him" looks at the kid to end a scene, but they take way too long to cut and he just sits there, leering at the boy in the most uncomfortable way.

Yeah, the first one's "hero" at least has the benefit of being the same age as the princess, as opposed to Troxartus being a creeper. That being said, the Crabby bits are great.

It reminds me of the shop owner in Troll 2 who in real life was crazy and wanted to hurt the child actor.

Lots of video game references this time around (Mortal Kombat, SMB, etc.)

I mean, Felicia Day is one of the writers. There were going to be some video game jokes.  I think the new variety is nice, too. It doesn't feel overwhelmed with jokes about podcasts and memes and it still references stuff like Beatles songs and the Benny Hill Theme. It definitely feels like it's just incorporating more popular culture rather than eschewing the obscure or older references. It's great.

Bland and kind of dumb, but not too terribly irritating. The second kid was just miserable though. Not only was he irritating every time he had to speak, his constant "hot for teacher" gimmick was super creepy.

Both movies feature prominently a much older woman seducing a (pre?)teen boy, wtf was that about? "Let's not think about how much creepier this would be if our genders were reversed!" Sigh. At least we had Crabby. nishi koichi fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 18, 2017 |

I'm not sure if I prefer the second protagonist since he actually has a personality or the first protagonist since that personality is terrible.
