Actually I've always thought that the skits were god-awful (quite intentionally so, but none the less) and that 100% of the show's strength and notability was in movie commentary. About all the skits get across is that they love all the poo poo they watch, no matter what they say.

Railing Kill posted:Pro click as hell right here. Joel and Mike both had segments that flopped, but there's more than enough like this one to redeem all of the interstitial skits. Watch all of them, because you might be missing stuff like this, or this, or this, or this, or this. I also feel like they help with the pacing in modern mst3k

Unrelated to you unfeeling, inhuman motherfuckers, how does everyone feel about Masks? I'm a big fan of it, and I feel like I'm probably wrong to be from some sort of storytelling objective standpoint, but it's one of those ones no one really talks about.

Railing Kill posted:Yep. It's been really weird to hear younger people discovering the show for the first time and being weirded-out by the interstitial segments and the hammy acting. I want to say, "Don't you remember that this is how it's supposed to be?" but then I remember that a lot of the people watching the new show were barely alive, if at all, when the old show was on the air. Wow, amazing. Railing Kill posted:This is like when I asked my students (college freshmen) five years ago, "You folks remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, right?" They all just stared at me like I was talking about the fuckin Crimean War, then one of them said, "Professor, I was born in 1992." It all just makes me feel old and lame. True story: when I was in graduate school, the kids stopped understanding philosophy points via Star Trek, and I felt old. Now I feel old because the kids these days can't get this stuck in their heads just by me singing it

The corniness just tripled when they said they wouldn't give Yar back and the chief's wife invoked some ritual and somebody "but we haven't done that in 200 years!"skasion posted:Does Geordi do anything in this episode? I've completely forgotten I haven't even seen him onscreen.

Lmao now they've gotten to the fetishizing stage. "He's such a basic male image," says Troi of the chief, going on to tell Yar she likes his irresistible attention

McNally posted:Originally the captain's log was supposed to be a narration made after the events to give the story a recap for when they returned from a commercial break. Then they forgot that and decided somehow the captain made an entry in the middle of running away from a bunch of angry guys with guns. And the captain logs are apparently important enough to warrant launching a buoy with them on it right as they're about be destroyed (Wrath of Khan)

Some review some years ago pointed out that literally none of the dialogue wouldn't be at all racially problematic (just poo poo) if they hadn't decided every single person on the planet was black. I'd love to know which came first, the racism or the really bad idea. Orv fucked around with this message at 21:19 on May 10, 2017 |
