Don't forget the one where Union Pacific warns us that the causes of accidents are joy, sex, and old age.

I was just watching The Gunslinger the other day, and was pleasantly surprised to notice they use the same sound effect when Dr. F. is trying to explode Frank's head, Scanners-style.

I found them jarring at first, but after a while they kind of grew on me. One thing I hope they return to in Season 2 is alternating between movie and commercial sign for host segments. It's hard to say for certain, but I felt like opening and closing them with the tunnel sequences may have affected the pacing a little.

Burkion posted:Also, you DO remember that Nightmare Fuel both predates MST3K, and has been used by MST3K before right? Hell I'm pretty sure the old chat groups back in the 90s when the episode were new used the term a lot. They've made a few jokes, in Joel and Mike's era, about something being Pure Unfiltered Nightmare Fuel. To be honest, Kinga's use of it bugged me a little at first, but after a few episodes, I caught on that it was just a thing they were doing, and let it go.

Well, and the translation/dub quality, which often obscures the actual folklore they're adapting. Case in point: The Magic Voyage of Sinbad, which has nothing at all to do with Sinbad.

mangler103 posted:I feel like Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, were it remade today with just a light rewrite, and removal of all of the animal stock footage, could be a pretty solid movie. It was a halfway decent short story. I read it once in a Best SF of 1970-something collection. All I really remember right now is that there's no Fatman and no Casablanca stuff. Apparently the same PBS station that made this also did an adaptation of The Lathe of Heaven that I've heard is fairly well-regarded.

I'm watching Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell for the first time in forever, and I just noticed none other... ...than Miguel Ángel Fuentes, better known as Vadinho in The Pumaman! It's great when you can still find something new in an old show. *EDIT* Wait, one of the stars of this movie is Trump's ambassador to Denmark?

Don't forget the "failed TV pilot" category. Or, in an overlap with the "foreign film undone by translation," there's "Sandy Frank stuffs a whole Japanese TV series into two hours."

Three stick out in my mind at the moment: 1) In 'I Accuse My Parents,' the segment where the bots draw their ideal families. "My mom is Hayley Mills, my dad is Gigantor, and my mom is Peggy Cass." 2) Mike and the bots' cheesy political 'satire' revue. 3) Aaron Spelling's house.

Currently watching The Incredible Melting Man, and the host segments are a great reminder of just how bitter they were about dealing with the studio for MST3K: The Movie.

I think they've already done most of the Gamera movies worth riffing. The 90's trilogy and Gamera the Brave are in a whole other league.

My dream riffs are of Godzilla's Revenge and Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster, if Toho would let them. I'd really prefer the original 70's dub of Smog Monster, since that's the one with an English version of "Save the Earth," but the movie's trippy and weird enough regardless.

For my money, Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy didn't come into their own until they got to Castle Forrester. For one, it meant they'd dropped the network-mandated storylines. That in turn mean they had more flexibility, closer to Dr. F and Frank, where one minute they're inventing the Recomfy Bike, and another they're sitting on the couch, eating ice cream, and watching "Vicki." (I have a soft spot for moments when the bots or Mads start acting like Midwestern housewives.)

Part of what makes those Sandy Frank movies so rough is that they weren't simply a few episodes in a row made to look like one movie, like with Master Ninja and San Francisco International. They were cobbled together from entire 13 to 26-episode TV series. Stories that originally had a lot of time to breathe wound up crammed into a few hours with a lot of important scenes glossed over. I have no idea if any of their uncut versions were remotely any good, though Mighty Jack was produced by one of the creators of Godzilla and Ultraman. For comparison, when Japanese producers decided to make a compilation movie out of Mobile Suit Gundam's 43 episodes, they made it a trilogy.

Update on the MST Live Tour! The gist of it: They went with Deathstalker I thinking they couldn't get the rights for Deathstalker II. There is a lot of sex in Deathstalker I, but they figured they could edit that out. Turned out when they did, it was only about 53 minutes. So they checked back, and it turned out they could get the rights to Deathstalker II, which doesn't have the problems the first movie does. So it's not going to be Deathstalker I anymore, but rather Deathstalker II. Also, apparently Joel picked Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2 sight unseen because of the title. Fortunately, that worked out for the best. Deathstalker. (Cerebro.) Keromaru5 fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Jul 30, 2018 |

I tried Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and the sequel, but mostly felt the pacing was off. Several bits just dragged on too long. The best "intentionally bad" thing I've ever seen is still Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

I'm pretty sure the 90's Gamera trilogy and Gamera the Brave are already what the 60's movies were trying to be. I love Gamera the Brave because it takes the "Gamera is a friend to all children" theme of the original series straight to its logical conclusion: Gamera as E.T.
