Simplex posted:Of the new seasons, Avalanche is the movie that I find myself keep coming back too. I think it has the worst geography of any movie that I've ever seen, as I have absolutely no idea where any location in that movie is in relation to any other location. I really need to see one of those miniature mock-ups of what the hell that ski resort is even supposed to look like. I'm a real fan of Avalanche too. I mean, this movie has 2-3 people dying in car accidents for no reason other than general carelessness.

That movie is so amazingly sleazy, for so little reason. Why is every scene framed and lit as if a serial killer is about to enter from offscreen? Why is there a woman ice skating in a bikini bottom? It's like the movie was produced at the same film studio where the hobgoblins from Hobgoblins escaped from.

My favorite running joke from Avalanche is how they keep talking about how the avalanche is about to show up.

Joel gave an interview with a paper while on the tour and this sounds kind of positive.quote:You've hinted that you want a continued life for Mystery Science Theater post-Netflix, but haven't announced anything yet. Is there anything you can say at this point, or any knowledge of when you might be able to let slip more details?

To my delight, I had no idea RiffTrax did one of the Puppet Master films. One I didn't even know existed because apparently that franchise went on forever.

WSAENOTSOCK posted:Yeah, but this was back when every video store in every neighborhood in every city and town in the country had to buy an overpriced copy of the movie to rent out to customers, so if your flick was under 20 million, you couldn't not make money off it. Roger Corman was active both before and after the video store boom, and his movies still make a profit today.

Roger Corman made movies that made money. Were they good? Artistic? Made with love? High budget? Did you read the first sentence? Avelanche is probably my favorite episode of that season, edging out Cry Wilderness

I always remember in The Gunslinger when the camera pans just too far to show the two horsemen waiting on their mark and they then start to move as Joel yells "Cue the horses!" Like it would have taken maybe a second or two editing to not have that. That's Corman to me.

They uploaded the entire list of tour updates to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z75Z1hI86v8 I'm about halfway through it, and there's a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes stuff: early concepts, modeling, production, cast introduction. Watch out for ringu0 fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Feb 27, 2020 |

You’re not completely wrong but Corman’s Poe adaptations cost a bit more and are awesome and really nice to look at, particularly Masque of the Red Death, House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum and Tomb of Ligeia. They were made with lots of care, and it shows. Oh and his version of Tower of London is cool too! Everyone should check em out.

Say what you will about Corman, but he directed the best Fantastic Four movie.

I re-watched Swamp Diamonds, speaking of Roger, and am forced to wonder how the girls so expertly hemmed their cutoffs. (The movie does not really help sell the 'Corman as auteur' thory.) Please don't touch Touch Connors.

No idea why, other than the Cold War angle they are completely different movies.

How many times can you use the same footage of an explosion? Also the government knows what's best you dirty commies!
