Powered Descent posted:Hmm, I have to disagree. Space Mutiny may have an interesting concept for a sci-fi story (a faction aboard a generation ship wants to abandon their original mission) but that's not the same thing as a good script. Yeah, Screaming Skull is one where its problems are honestly pretty minor. The script is perfectly fine, the acting is serviceable, even the effects are okay for the 50s, it's just got so much padding of the lady wandering around the house after hearing a noise. And it's already a pretty short movie.

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank is pretty close to being an actual good movie, it's like a very bland adaptation of a Philip K Dick type story

muscles like this! posted:A problem with Clonus was that the lead was too old. Having a guy in his 30s running around all confused just makes him look like a dope. It should have been someone in their early 20s who could convincingly play a teenager. That way you also sidestep the weird issue about how long they've been running their cloning facility. This happens a lot even in more expensive movies, a script gets written with a character clearly in his teens and some casting director thinks "oh, this 42 year old can totally play that". Meanwhile if a woman hits 30, she's basically uncastable, like it's loving Logan's Run.

Powered Descent posted:Another movie that I still say has hidden virtues: The Screaming Skull. It has the core of a decent (if low-budget) creepy-horror flick, and there's one good plot twist in the middle. It's just too drat long for its own good. Chop out 20 or 30 minutes of "packing peanuts" and you could make an okay Twilight Zone episode out of it. I think that Phase IV from the KTMA days is a legitimately great cult movie, especially with the addition of the director's original ending. Man, I wish they had saved that riff for a later season...

I genuinely think Parts is an example of the ideal MST3K episode. Everything is firing on all cylinders. The movie is, you know, not good but not bad enough to put off a new viewer. There's extremely fertile ground with Peter Graves, Dick Sargent and it just being very 70's in general. All of the skits are great. ("Fine! I'm in the Chocolate Lake. My personal hell.")

I love Parts because the whole plot turns on the protagonist finding a discarded beer can in a stream.

I had an urge to watch Viva Knievel last night and I found out that Rifftrax is doing a 'Rifftrax Friends' subscription for $5.99 / month. I don't know if that's new or not but I subscribed. It's VOD access to the stuff they have rights to, so anything from the Twitch channel or Tubi. I'm happy.

Thanks to Covid and quarantine I've been rewatching shows, and decided to give MST3k another go. I never watched the whole series, mostly just the SciFi era when it was new to air. I got a bunch of episodes thanks to the season 11 Kickstarter, and I've been buying whatever's on sale at Rifftrax that week. I also got everything in the top 11 for the top 100 list. Is that full list available for every episode? I'm curious what's considered to be the fan voted worst episodes.

I’d be surprised if The Painted Hills wasn’t close to the bottom of the list. But I have a hard time with Westerns in general, so that’s just my personal bias showing.

UrbanUrsine posted:Castle of Fu Manchu is the one episode I tap out on pretty much every time. I can handle a few episodes from MST3K season one: The Crawling Eye (because it's a typical monster movie), Robot vs. Aztec Mummy (because it's so laughably bad), The Corpse Vanishes (because it's a Bela Lugosi movie), and Moon Zero Two (because it's basically a Who's Who of British TV mainstays, along with Cheneral Frankhlin Kurhby from Schwarzenegger's Commando).
