Mystery Science Theater 3000: C/D, S/D.

I like the YouTube comment that compares this to a well-done Muppets musical number.

RIP Juan Piquer Simon, the director of Pod People.

"Trumpy!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UH_Tr6SgGo

"Wait, is this Movie A or Movie B?" "I think this is Movie C . . ."

I looooove Joel's miffed Mike Curb Congregation riff. God, the whole thing. "IT STINKS!" If Pod People didn't have all the lonnnnnng dreary forest wandering stuff it'd be my favorite episode in a walk between Idiot Patrol and the Trumpy stop-motion scene.

"Little wing-ed potatoes..."

my ankle's all bendy-wendy

man I just watched it last night.

Top 10 episode for sure.

Because Pepperidge Farms remembers!

And never forget...

"HUZZAH!"

"It says 'Don't laugh. It's paid for."
"In braille?"

MCCLOUD!

lol I was just gonna do that one!

I went back and started rewatching on youtube...zomg so great.

"Here take this blanket, it'll warm her up."
"But I'm not cold.."
"It's for HER."

"Here this will warm her up"
"No thanks i'm not thirsty"
"It's for HERRRR"

Also the music they're listening to on the van ride.

"What is this, white reggae?"

Tonight on Music From The Heart Of Space

<splash of coffee hurled in face> "More coffee?"

Can anyone explain the forest/hunter scenes in that movie at all? The other two parts are ET and teen slasher ripoffs, but the hunter scenes don't explain themselves or appear to rip off any type of movie.

They're poaching doing the poaching for the eggs and the thing. I think. And the Pepperidge Farm guy was one of them but now he's not and he has a bar at home and drinks from it.

Again, I think.

And isn't it something like the hunters smashed the eggs and are there to show the 'bad' side of human nature...but they sort of outlive their purpose after 5 minutes of the movie so they're just padding after that. Wonderful, foggy, Renaissance fair padding. JERK.

my friends and I are thinking of recording a series of alt commentaries for bad mainstream movies (romcoms etc.) wherein we invent drinking games for each movie in advance and then carry them out while discussing the film in a way that will start out pseudo-intelligent and then inevitably degrade into puerile name-calling as we get more and more intoxicated. is it a good idea y/n

Have you ever heard the Cannibal! the Musical commentary? - Trey & Matt and friends do that. If your shenanigans are as funny as theirs over the course of the movie, then I say YES

I will listen to that. oh also ours will be free, obv.

:D

second half of that commentary track is terrible imho

Bap-ba Da-ba Da Da

The Russian MST3K. Who knew?

http://www.mst3kinfo.com/?p=8658

In a science institute, there’s an experiment,
They’re testing the effect of movie reels on people.
How will consciousness be affected by a movie.
Of questionable quality and made long ago
A nice guy, Stephen is in need of some money
He got a job as a test subject, threw caution to the wind
He didn’t know that the process is supervised by
Professor Zamishlavkin, a bad guy (something)
Stephen watches movies, he’s now imprisoned
If it’s wasn’t for his friends, he’d be miserable
Mutants, saboteurs: a dog and a penguin
Rescue his psychie and watch along with him
:::Fidel::: [penguin's name]
:::Ketchup::: [dog's name]
:::the greatest achievement of national defense!:::
When the friends are all together, they don’t fear the bad guy
They make comments on everything, so that it’s more fun
In the face of scientific theories,
They giggle and laugh, as they watch Project Popcorn

^ would pay big money to hear Joel Tom & Crow riff an episode of that

Perhaps it all began here:

there's an episode here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2988947153633950316#

Following on from the posts just above, here's the full story (well, at least the first part) of the Russian MST3K -- pretty great!

They really need to get these put on the next box set

... I assume they're still making them, right?

so happy you're alive!

The box sets? Yup, just got the latest one from last month -- both Master Ninja episodes, The Magic Voyage of Sinbad and Project Moonbase from the first season. Hadn't seen any of them in years, great stuff.

I still can't get over the fact that Timothy Van Patten went from his mumbling non-triumphs there to being the guy who co-wrote "Pine Barrens" for The Sopranos, not to mention directing a slew of other episodes for that and other various high-end cable series. Talk about bootstrapping! I would have loved it if they could have interviewed him as a bonus for this set.

Wait a minute, he also directed the first two episodes of Game of Thrones!

xpost Yeah, toxic paints, shmaints - whatever. I'm on Blu-Ray now baby

Oh weird yeah, I kept thinking Van Patten was Tim Olyphant (sheriff, Deadwood) for some reason. Good on him for surviving into a viable career

If anything I figure having gone through that show was a good object lesson in what not to do. (I also like how most of his directorial woodshedding was done on Touched By An Angel.)

"More fish flakes, my sweet friend?"

"Tibby...oh Tibby..."

Meanwhile, more on that Manos sequel:

http://www.polkio.com/archives/Story.aspx/20504/falls-city-fright

A creepy statue of a hand -- a model of Falls City resident Rick Zunck's hand made by Jones -- represents Manos in the film. Neyman carefully contemplates the statue and then tentatively reaches for it. Once he grabs hold, he screams and writhes in pain. This goes on for what seems like an excruciating long time before Neyman unleashes a chillingly desperate shout.

The performance receives applause from the entire crew.

"The man's got skills," Munch said to Jones, shaking his head.

This has basically been my homepage for the last month or so.
