They did Phase IV on KTMA, that movie owns. Though of course the poor quality of the image and sound effectively cuts the legs out from under it.

Rollersnake posted:Similarly, Tom Servo's perfectly-timed scream in the "buzz off, kid" scene in Mitchell. I love that off the cuff quality where the jokes don't even have to be jokes. Even just a withering sigh at the right time can be gutbusting. I hope the writers of the MST3k revival can see that and find a way to recapture it because Rifftrax sure hasn't. It's okay but you can feel every riff being pitched, honed, approved, rehearsed, etc.

Trace's and Bill's voices both fit Crow so equally well. I definitely think I will get used to the new guy too, from what little I have heard. New Servo is a drastic change but I'm trying to remain optimistic.

Manos was my introduction to it, then I checked out some of the other Rhino stuff out at that time: Eegah, Mitchell, The Crawling Hand, The Atomic Brain. Of which Mitchell was probably the best. Somewhere along the line I found out SciFi was still rerunning it, and the first chance I had to check those out it was Final Sacrifice and Boggy Creek II, which convinced me I had to see every episode.

I'm sure it's funny, but riffing almost seems like the exact wrong way to go about having fun with a Godfrey Ho film. Would much rather watch a RLM-style panel discussion interspersed with clips or even just a supercut of the weirdest moments.

Was watching Danger Death Ray. "If Michael Caine and Andre the Giant had a child" and the noises of disgust when a character orders a "double Cointreau" are two of the most devastatingly dead-on riffs in the whole series.

Bicyclops posted:Rewatching this show, there's one thing that really has surprised me about it: for a show that's built around making snide remarks about old, cheesy movies, it's almost entirely devoid of cynicism. There's kind of a boldness to the whole thing that isn't edgy. The invention exchanges with Joel are basically magic tricks your goofy uncle might do ("Wow! How'd he make the milk disappear! Look, he split his head from his body!"), there are corny, running gag catchphrases, it has homemade puppets in literal pageant sketch comedy, and the entire set looks like a fun, high school play craft project. They read letters from kids and show the drawings. Even for the early 90s, there's a kind of genuine love for dorky, square dad humor that sets it apart from most things. This is the number one thing I'm worried about the reboot not getting, along with its loose slacker jazziness that is hard to put into words. It's the product of a huge, sustained wave of geek hype and will be handled by Professional Comedy Writers, yet it needs to not be ceremonious or up its own rear end AT ALL or else it's just doing exactly what every other bad-movie program out there does.

MST3k is sort of the exception to "references aren't jokes!!!!" although I admit I got a sinking feeling when I heard they hired loving Ernest Cline.

I always assumed Gypsy was supposed to be snake-like and popping out of holes in the floor, wall, etc. and traveling around the ship through tubes and vents to wherever she needed to be. Cool to see they're doing something with that apparently.

Bobo for me falls under "so annoying it's funny", but I still sort of wish there had been more to him. Observer I like a lot, the dynamic between him and Pearl is really fun, whereas Bobo just seems like a liability and it's not clear why they even keep him around.

I've gone on about this in at least one other thread, but Manos would be way less clunky if they hadn't made their dubbing job as hard as possible for themselves by almost ALWAYS pointing the camera at who's talking. There are plenty of shoestring movies from that era with no location sound and something they have in common is that their most cinematically engaging scenes happen when they're trying to minimize the need for lip sync and so they put the camera anywhere but in the face of an actor delivering a line.

Was just remembering the riff from Manos where Torgo says to Margaret, "dOn'T WoRrY MaDaM, I'lL PrOtEcT YoU" and Joel absolutely deadpans, "'Cause there's some weird people around here."
