Of course the really great thing about the Giant Gila Monster is just how often a scene would involve one or more characters walking to a spot and then propping their leg up on something.

Smart boy would do well to put his leg up on something like that. I love Joel doing fun movie facts for the Gila Monster. "When they make noises like this, it's called 'Foley.' I'll be back later with another fun fact!"

And also Ring of Terror. "Hi folks, Satan here." That's another movie where they spend more time setting up the "world" instead of focusing on the plot.

Rance Howard has died http://edition.cnn.com/2017/11/25/entertainment/rance-howard-father-of-ron-obit/index.html if you want to fire up your copy of Village of the Giants in tribute. I love the Beau Brummels, so this film is in my Top Ten. And yes, everyone in the Beau Brummels looks like a cut-rate someone else (Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves, a giant duck, &c).

How does the guy die in Ring of Terror anyways? I always give up on the movie sometime around the middle.

Y'know that movie Urban Legends? Ring of Terror is that, if they'd picked just one urban legend and tried to make it carry an entire feature.

Edward Mass posted:I hope Cambot gets to do more in season 12. The SOL bridge was mainly static, and I felt those scenes needed more camera movement. Hopefully they'll get to spend more time shooting the host segments. The Moon 13 stuff felt the same way

Presumably they'll be able to take their time a bit more with this season! I get the feeling the current cast is savvy enough to see the general consensus on what worked and didn't, & they probably won't be as rushed by scheduling and pregnancy. Hopefully! This news made my day tho. The more MS3TK in the world, the better.

The host segments were probably compressed somewhat by the need for the huge backer credits on every episode.

I had to work on Turkey Day so I didn't get to see the marathon or the announcement of Season 12, but I'm very glad that they are going to do another season. Season 11 definitely had some missteps and stumbles, but that's understandable given how quickly they had to shoot it and get it done, and you could see that there definitely was a lot of talent at work there and a genuine love for the show on the part of everyone involved. So as long as they get plenty of time to shoot Season 12 this time around, I think we'll all be happy campers.

He gets startled by Puma (Yo-Yo Ma?) screeching while he's trying to loot a ring off a corpse for his frat initiation, turns to flee, gets his coat caught on the corpse's hand, and then basically has a fatal freakout. Heart attack or something, probably.

Ms Boods posted:Rance Howard has died Supposedly his character was supposed to be killed by the giants but that part was never filmed. But he still disappears after that one scene. Some other recent MST3K deaths: Peter Baldwin: actor from The Space Children who became an Emmy-winning director Keith Barron: actor from The Land that Time Forgot and At the Earth's Core Harry Stradling Jr: cinematographer who did Mitchell even after getting two Oscar nominations Don Pedro Colley: the Moorish spy from Quest of the Delta Knights; he was also in THX-1138 and Beneath the Planet of the Apes Kim Ki-duk: Writer/Director of Yongary; he directed over sixty movies between 1961 and 1977 Jimmy Clem: Old Man Crenshaw from Boggy Creek; he was in a few other movies, including The Town that Dreaded Sundown

The setup was that he had a reputation for being fearless, but when he was a kid he was traumatized by seeing a dead relative in their coffin, so he was terrified of corpses.

Giant Gila Monster has the same quality a lot of these really small movies have in that they're kinda like community theater: the director has friends who sing or dance or do tricks so let's make that a part of the movie! They don't know how to distinguish "things that might be fun" from "things that work in the context of the story we're telling." See also the Andy Sidaris movies, which are one part action, one part T&A, and one part Asian Elvis impersonators and RC plane meet ups.

I think without backer credits this time theyll be able to squeeze in a short for an episode or two, and or have longer host segments. Basically Im excited as hell for more mst3k and I eagerly await the day my children tell me the best host was clearly xxWeedGokuxx, a pubg chat bot that gained sentience.

Heart attack or something, probably. The oddest thing about re-watching Ring of Terror is that the way the old guy at the beginning says "Puma? PUUMAA?" gets riffed on through the rest of season 2 and into season 3, and then it gets forgotten. Fast forward to season 9 and we get a new puma joke courtesy of Donald Pleasence. So in my mind I know the two riffs are unrelated, but whenever I hear them do the "Puma? PUUMAA?" joke in the old episodes I keep waiting for someone else to quip "  don't you mean Py-u-ma?"

Unfortunately the studio that financed MST3K: The Movie had a weird obsession at the time with getting comedies under 90 minutes so they ended up cutting a ton of scenes from This Island Earth. So any time you get confused just blame stupid studio executives.
