I still wonder why not have new bots instead of recasting Crow and Tom again, but I trust Joel knows what he's doing, and excitement is winning out over doubt.

The nerd rage would cause a tear in space time, and the Prince of Space would jump out and prance about the place.

Now things really start to get interesting. Because most of the episodes left, including all of the Joel episodes remaining, seemingly have big rights roadblocks.

Has there been any talk or news articles on these roadblocks?
As would love to read on why lovely movies are being blocked, who are the assholes blocking them.

I'm from Ireland and MST3K only reached here for 1 season on satellite TV which was a rare luxury at the time.
I didn't see it on there, but I loved reading about it in Starburst and other magazines.
I distinctly remember seeing a pic of Joel and the robots and being a scifi geek NEEDED to see this.
Then when :filez: were possible watched Horror at Party Beach and never looked back.

If only the DVD sets had a Region 2 option.

What are the most watchable MST films other than This Island Earth? By 'most watchable' I mean least boring; they can be bad-good or good-good.

Always loved Horror at Party Beach myself, my first ever one I watched.
I will admit, I have a crush on Romulan Girl.

Moon Zero Two is tragically close to being a good movie. A little less dead air and it'd be solid. As it stands it's colorful and it's got some fun ideas and story and some wonderfully silly poo poo.

It may be my own UK view, but it's filmed in the same way as 60s Carry On comedy movies were.
And with the cartoon intro, and even has some Carry On actors, I keep thinking it's meant to be a comedy.

Just did some table napkin math.
The rock in Moon Two Zero was 6000 tons of Sapphire.
A carat of Sapphire can cost $25 upwards in today's money.
A carat is 200 milligrams.

So that asteroid is worth $1.360775e+14
Even if half was vaporized, she still now owns the entire solar system.

Oh neat, someone uploaded a "BBI Vault Tape" VHS rip of Rocketship X-M

From the description:


Here's a gallery of the tape collection as well. This is about as close as you'll probably get to an official version of Rocketship X-M.

Do these have anything new on them? Or are just a direct copy of what was broadcast.

So thanks to the No Context Violence twitter I discovered that there was this really weird trend in bad 80's action movies(especially for Ninja movies) to have really abrupt non endings, often happening right after or even in the middle of someone dying, and it's the most baffling thing I've ever seen, did MST3K have any movies end in such an abrupt fashion, cause if not it definitely seems like the kind of thing they should riff on

I thought these abrupt endings originated in asian kung fu movies in the 60s/70s due to how quick they filmed them, mere days, and that cinemas would instantly turn up the lights (or whatever) and force you out the door for the next screening.
Can't remember where I got this notion from.

I don't know if this has been posted before but it's a guy trying to find the filming locations of various MST3K movies. Some look nothing at all like they used to but some are surprisingly still the same. Unbelievably, Club Scum was a real music venue and not a high school cafeteria. He also tracks down the location of Eat.

I have to vote for Wild World of Batwoman for being so dull enough I've fallen asleep watching it a couple of times now and also the racism.

I keep forgetting about the seance bit in Batwoman, and the shock of it makes me laugh anew.

And for horniest movies, Untamed Youth is at least a third set in the female dormitory hut with them in a state of undress.
50's undress, meaning four layers of clothes, but still horny for those at the time.

Hammer Horror wouldn't give licensing maybe?
As there are some awful ones that could be riffed on.

Also anyone watching the Mindless Summer live events on the MST3K YT channel?
Found it last night for first time, and its excellent watching them talk and discuss episodes.

https://sistercelluloid.com/2015/05/29/the-real-horror-of-party-beach-is-the-actual-movie/

quote:

Alice Lyon, who played Elaine, was dubbed for the entire movie—and if the maddeningly hammy voiceover was an improvement, her actual voice must have made the paint peel. When she made this film, Lyon, the wealthy daughter of a diplomat, was married to Hugh Auchincloss III, the stepbrother of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

What's the MST3K line that always makes you laugh the hardest, no matter how many times you hear it? For me, it's gotta be from "Hobgoblins", when the old guy pulls out the gun and Mike goes "Use it to kill Archduke Ferdinand!"

My favorites aren’t actually riffs, they’re all the times someone just reacts naturally to the insanity onscreen. Or stuff like Servo’s END ENDDDDD in Wild Wild World of Batwoman.

In the Movie This Island Earth, where some random guy is just walking past the main stars, doesnt say a word, and they give him engine noises.

I’m just now realizing how weird it was that the original show got so many letters from little kids. I’d imagine that part of why they always featured them was that they appreciated how strange it was to get them.

Wasn't it common though on the local TV stations to do things like that, as for phone ins and mail to read out for free content basically.

Kind of getting into the idea now. Like have it be all Day of the Tentacle where you can jump between Mike and the bots.

In an attempt to escape Mike and the bots accidentally opened a wormhole INSIDE the Satellite of Love, at the same time Dr Forrestor was uploading future experiments for them to watch.
Each of them gets sucked into a separate experiment, with Gypsy sucked into all of them (due to her length) and acting as their only way of contact to each other!
Can you help them escape back to the ship before they are captured, or even worse, watch the full experiment FROM THE INSIDE!
Soon from Sierra Entertainment

The question would be, what 3 films would they be trapped in?
One has to be a Godzilla/Gamera one imo.

Edit: gently caress cant get any physical stuff now. Then again I spent $100 on shipping for last one. Still, bit poo poo.

Edit Edit: $200 down, hope it doesn't take as long for these to come out as the last.
