Jet Jaguar posted:Went to see the Mads riffing tonight. They dealt with a ton of technical difficulties, but they were introduced by the actress who played Debbie in Manos, who evidently lives near Portland. She told a couple of fun stories, I guess she has a book about the experience. I think everybody lives near Portland, but nobody expects it. That sort of comment seems to come up a lot.

Rollersnake posted:Carnival Magic: This is a more stupefyingly bad film than Cry Wilderness. It might actually be worse than Manos. I can only rationalize it as a film by carnies, for carnies, that was never meant to be seen by the outside world. Was the main romance actually intended to be between an adult man and an underage girl, or is that just what it looked like? Did they really have to give the talking chimp a hoarse, gravelly smoker's voice? I need a shower. I have to admit, after watching through to the car chase I just gave up on the movie and watched the interludes (and by God I'm glad I did, that episode's special guest is magical).

A friend of mine has been singing its praises for a while now, and I was considering getting Netflix on my PC so I could watch it, among other shows I've been interested in (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Lucha Undergound). Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3W6Xfh0gck and see if it sells ya.

Senior Woodchuck posted:I just watched Beast of Hollow Mountain, and I'm amazed at the audacity of it. If you started watching after the title sequence and stopped maybe twenty minutes before the end, you'd have no idea it was a monster movie at all. I watch a lot of westerns (a local station likes to show em at a time when I like background noise) and it would be a perfectly functional one too, albeit not great. It's that ens sequence that catapults it into MST territory.

flosofl posted:I'd have to say the worst Hamlet I've seen is the Shatner version performed in Esperanto, but the one on the Twitch Stream is pretty drat bad. My baseline for bad performance starts at "reading the lines like they're dead words written on a page, pausing at the line breaks regardless of conversational flow." If folks don't do that I consider it watchable.

EatinCake posted:I wonder how much of a season 12 would hinge on finding 12 more movies they can afford to license. Maybe that takes time too :s I suspect this is the thing holding it up, if anything IS holding it up and they're not just waiting for a big reveal. On top of finding the right movies, and finding movies that the rights-holders are willing to release for (albeit loving) mockery, we've seen from the DVDs that figuring out who HAS the rights to some of those things can be a real mess.

My first exposure to Rifftrax was seeing Rifftrax Live for Starship Troopers in the theater. It was wonderful, and the energy of seeing it in a group like that is not to be ignored. But yeah, my subsequent experiences with it have been very hit or miss, and for some reason I'm less forgiving when that happens than I am when a MST3K episode doesn't gel.

John Murdoch posted:This one lost its luster when I realized they didn't understand what was happening in the movie. They didn't? Was there something else to the long awkward scene of "Sodium reacts violently with water, but enough distractions we need to figure out a way of harming these water-based creatures (ignore humans being 60% water). Think!" Or my memory could have made the scene longer and more frustrating, it's been 20 years since I saw that one.

precision posted:I'm pretty sure if anyone was gonna try to take the show off Youtube it would have happened by now. I mean it's not like they're hidden in any way, they're like the easiest thing in the world to find. Only way I could see it happening is if things changed somehow. Like if the people holding the rights for the movies they riffed were able and willing to do takedowns. Like you said, Shout/Joel have been fine with it until now. It really does fit nicely into the "indie broadcast traded on VHS tapes" origins of the show.

Yeah, MacArthur Park is one of those earworms that fades into and out of pop culture. The lyrics read like a heartbroken amateur's attempt at writing poetry, which is basically what it was, the style of the song changes as abruptly as classical music movements, it goes on for eight minutes, and despite it all the song's still listenable rather than just stamped "bad" and discarded. It's a sticky meme. Not just MST, if someone needs to improv a joke about rain, there's almost certainly gonna be a cake in it.
