A lot of Time Chasers problems can probably be traced back to not having much of a budget.

I still think there's a decent movie hiding deep down somewhere in Manos.

Canned Panda posted:I still think there's a decent movie hiding deep down somewhere in Manos. Yeah. Outside of the catfight bit, there's a good enough horror script that's hurt by really bad production and acting. Similarly, I think Pumaman is a fine superhero flick for the time where the main flaws are the costuming decisions, the special effects and that one really weird line about dinosaurs. A lot is said about Pumaman being worthless, but he does fine compared to most movie superheroes. It's more that they decided to merge Obi Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca into one character with the Aztec guy and the only time he's shown to be in any peril is during a brawl late in the movie. Even if Pumaman is the guy who saved him, he still looks like a novice in comparison.

Pumaman also had this feeling like they weren't sure if they were going with an actual superhero movie, or like, a parody superhero movie. I suppose it's not helped by there not being all that many big superhero movies out when it was made. And the whole random grab bag of powers too. Just like, stick with the puma theme. Keep the "claw hands," swap the teleportation for stealth and speed and the flying for leaping, and ditch the entire "pretend to be dead" plot point - you had this whole willpower thing going, then the only way he solves that is by playing dead and his girlfriend breaking the fake head that the bad guy made with the mask.

The bad guys were the ones throwing people out of windows because they didn't know who Pumaman was and were just murdering potential Pumamen. While Vidinho throws Pumaman out a window because he knows he's Pumaman and will be fine.

I was about 12 when I saw Manos for the first time, and the ending legit creeped me out (I was still a bit of a sissy when it came to horror movies back then, to be fair). It took me at least a year before I could bring myself to watch the whole thing again. In retrospect, having Manos be the second episode of MST3K I ever watched was a bit of an odd decision, but it’s not like the Blockbuster I was renting the tapes from was swimming in episodes to choose from.

I mean, a lot of people see Manos as their first MST3K, simply because it's very very easily the most famous MST3K episode. e: also, Manos is legit creepy in part because it's so incompetent.

Due to the show not airing in Canada, the first MST3K I got to see was MST3K: The Movie on VHS from a video store I worked at. When we sold off one of the rental copies, I made sure to scoop it up to show all my friends and I got all of them hooked too. I still have that tape.

The first one me and my brother saw was Cave Dweller on some local channel in the mid 90s, which that one is a beloved episode due to that. Of course since it was the only time that had a mistake segment after the movie, I was expecting that to appear more often instead of twice. I forget to put it on, but MST3K been airing again on Pluto, which is a channel that syndicated to local networks. I watched good old walking carpet Creeping Terror on it not too long ago.

thexerox123 posted:You claimed that it didn't air in Canada, not that it didn't air where you lived in Canada. It was never broadcast by any Canadian channel, therefore it didn’t air in Canada. That’s pretty normal broadcast terminology. It aired in the states, and a small piece of Canada could possibly receive that broadcast, but the show wasn’t made available within Canada as a whole. (A lot of people living in Toronto and Vancouver like to use their proximity to the border to shut down legitimate issues a lot of Canadians have with pricing and availability of goods in Canada. Adding to that is how ridiculously over-regulated broadcasting is here, and you have things like the fourth-largest city in Canada not being allowed to have a fourth TV station and having a cap on what American networks are even carried on cable, and things like that, and constantly having people who don’t live half a day’s drive from the border telling you “That’s not an issue, just buy an antenna/rent a US mailbox/go across and grab it there” just gets frustrating.) Hell, even that MST3K tape wasn’t released to retail here, and if I hadn’t grabbed the ex-rental I’d never have seen it. The individual TV episodes came out here, at first as expensive imports, but then Rhino got bought by Warner Brothers and had proper distribution so it got cheaper.

Red Green was the widest PBS pickup of a Canadian show ever, and some episodes were even shown in the US before they were broadcast in Canada. The first volumes on VHS weren’t even sold in Canada, but PBS pledge premiums. Steve “Red Green” Smith’s first TV show, Smith and Smith, which co-starred his wife, taped in the same studio in Edmonton, Alberta as the majority of the pre-Showtime seasons of SCTV.

I've seem this movie many times which is why my mind is a blasted wasteland but as to the question: those are not her parents, she's hundreds of years old they're descendents of either her or her sister (grandma)
