Mac and Me, huh? Finally, MST3k is doing a film I actually saw theatrically.

And the pre-Turkey Day marathon is live

Moon Zero Two to kick it off.

The upcoming season and the new Coen Bros. flick finally convinced me to sign up for Netflix today.

Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Sunday, 18 November 2018 17:41 (five years ago) link

i think the only film i saw theatrically they did was Marooned! aka Space Travelers (an Oscar winner)

never seen Warrior of the Lost World before, great episode!

( X '____' )/ (zappi), Sunday, 18 November 2018 20:28 (five years ago) link

Yeah one of my all time faves. TONS of great lines.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 November 2018 20:38 (five years ago) link

Haha Bloodlust is next — stupid, stupid film.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 November 2018 21:02 (five years ago) link

And now Samson and the Vampire Women, always liked Frank’s farewell. “OUR CHINESE FOOD IS HERE!”

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 18 November 2018 23:03 (five years ago) link

yeah the song gives me feels

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 00:25 (five years ago) link

It was a lovely song then and now.

Laserblast! The not-series finale, Trace’s farewell...sent him out with a bang.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 19 November 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link

i heart Laserblast

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 01:15 (five years ago) link

main thing i remember from "vampire women" is the impressions of that nebbishy scientist. "now i want you to come back here tomorrow, and then leave immediately!"

there's no way anyone under 35 gets most of these references

the lead in Laserblast died at 37 and was in the original production of Hair

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 19 November 2018 02:20 (five years ago) link

he was Rocky in the Roxy cast of Rocky Horror :D

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 02:26 (five years ago) link

i never knew he died so young tho :(

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 02:27 (five years ago) link

i'm now looking up kim milford's imdb biography, which goes from

"In 1970 he was awarded the Faith and Freedom Award by the Religious Heritage of America for his portrayal of the Prodigal Son in ABC Directories series "Round Trip"."

to "in addition, he's on some bootlegs of the Aug-Sept '72 Jeff Beck concerts."

this is in fact the second mention of his stint in the jeff beck group in the one-paragraph biography, suggesting milford's imdb biographer has serious issues with short-term memory loss

dub pilates (rushomancy), Monday, 19 November 2018 02:33 (five years ago) link

and because i know you wanted to hear it here's one of the bootlegs

it's pretty horrible!

dub pilates (rushomancy), Monday, 19 November 2018 02:38 (five years ago) link

Milford and Mark Hamill were buds IIRC, and of course they appeared together in Corvette Summer.

Cry Wilderness was a nice way to end it, it definitely was one of last season's best.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 19 November 2018 04:50 (five years ago) link

definitely. i forgot about all the bizarre scenery changes

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 05:21 (five years ago) link

just a headsup: the laserblast sdtk is available on itunes. "Billy's Radio" #s 1 AND 2, "Tony Discovers Black Spot," "Chuck's Car Gets Blasted," "Billy and Kathy Make Love." all right there.

Laserblast gets TWO AND A HALF stars in the Leonard Maltin movie guide... ie higher than Taxi Driver and Blue Velvet. He was really impressed with the stop motion work...

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 19 November 2018 15:43 (five years ago) link

they do a whole bit about that in the MST3K credits

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 16:41 (five years ago) link

And then two years later he ended up cameoing as himself in an episode!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 19 November 2018 16:47 (five years ago) link

"laserblast" is an embarrassment of riches with all the crummy effects shots, the car-salesman FBI agent, "ready for some football," the pointless eddie deezen crap, etc., but maybe what's most unique is the real lazy aimless hangout vibe that winds through the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the film, just sunny california and a sullen blonde guy killing time. quoth tom, "there's a point when it stops being a movie."

|Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Monday, 19 November 2018 16:50 (five years ago) link

the "ready for some football" cop was a regular on "Mary Hartman Mary Hartman"

I still haven’t seen the Laserblast episode but I’m going to go ahead and assume that Taxi Driver is an objectively better film.

Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Monday, 19 November 2018 17:24 (five years ago) link

you know what happens when you assume

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 19 November 2018 17:57 (five years ago) link

your ass gets blasted!

what track would you say is the laserblast equivalent of "knockin' on heaven's door"

i think my kid brother & sister liked this movie.

the older brother is Beans Baxter <3

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 22 November 2018 21:35 (five years ago) link

ok this is the most LA thing I’vd ever heard

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095560/trivia?tab=tr&item=tr0707017

The McDonalds scenes were all shot in City of Industry, CA, just outside Los Angeles. The set was a real-life McDonald's built specifically for crew member training and filming television commercials. Everything inside worked, but it never served a real customer. When it wasn't being used, it was locked up behind a chain link fence. It has since been torn down, then in 2006 was rebuilt but has never been open to the public. See filming locations for the exact address.

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 22 November 2018 21:50 (five years ago) link

Haha can’t way to see all this. Probably not this weekend but we’ll see.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 22 November 2018 23:10 (five years ago) link

Atlantic Rim was ok ... then again lunch made me sleepy so i missed a fair bit zzz

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 November 2018 00:40 (five years ago) link

There’s a thing on rifftrax right now where all the main MST3K talent from the past is tiffing together on a stage and it’s warming my heart... when did this happen?

Evan, Friday, 23 November 2018 00:40 (five years ago) link

Tiffing. Yes

Evan, Friday, 23 November 2018 00:40 (five years ago) link

Oh I just saw the big reunion sign behind them just now

Evan, Friday, 23 November 2018 00:41 (five years ago) link

(Asylum movies are almost always 20% actiony craziness and then the rest of it is 80% ppl standing around in rooms padding out the rest of the movie)

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 November 2018 00:42 (five years ago) link

2016, ok. Thanks google. I’m out of the loop

Evan, Friday, 23 November 2018 00:43 (five years ago) link

These are pretty good so far; as good as the best eps of last season I think. Atlantic rim is pretty dire and so new that it doesn’t feel right. Like you need 15-20 years of remove before it works

YouTube_-_funy_cats.flv (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, 23 November 2018 03:33 (five years ago) link

yeah i agree. the land stopped by time is already v funny

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 November 2018 04:44 (five years ago) link
