i really like mst3k

[Bob]

alot. i have some of the DVD's, but there's so so many, i wish there were a way i could get them all. watching the ones i do have is one of my favorite things to do, i don't seem to get bored of them for some reason. it's probably one of the nerdier things that i do, but there you go.

let's talk about mst3k in this thread

the last one i watched was prince of space. that's a great one. i like it when they slam badly dubbed japanese movies. i like it very much

[jabumbo]

first episode i ever saw was the mole people, and that got me hooked...





they always have a bunch of the DVD's at this record store i go to a lot, but they are always like $40-50 for each 3-4 episode one and i am too cheap to pay that much for it

yeah that's my problem too. eventually i cave and buy one, i have three now. i think the creators kind of encourage you to download their episodes. they vandalize the FBI anti piracy warning at the beginning of the DVD, they don't really seem to mind.

and there's SO many episodes, it would take forever to collect all the DVD's legitimately.

TVs Frank is the coolest person in MST3K and Crow is my favorite bot.
I'm having a hard time deciding on a fave episode, but Zap Rowsdower from Final Sacrifice was the coolest protagonist...

haha, i love frank. he does the voice of tom servo too, right?

i like joel better than mike. not that mike's not funny, but joel has this unusual charm to him that's hard to match

[Dorothy Wood]

I don't remember much about the show because I haven't seen it in probably ten years, but I enjoyed it very much when I did watch it. send me your dvds, kthanks.

[abcdefz]

I still haven't seen one.

What would you folks suggest for starters?

manos, the hands of fate

[Bob]

manos, the hands of fate

that's a classic one. my two favorites are probably pod people and the cave dwellers, in that order.

[jabumbo]

oh yes, the pod people one is quite fantastic as well

[abcdefz]

Thanks, folks.

I just added Pod People at #1 in my queue.


Hmmm. The Wild Bunch, Richard Pryor Live! in Concert, and MST3K: The Pod People. That's an interesting programme. :)

[Otis Driftwood]

I always liked the monster movies better, but the "socially significant" stuff like "Girl in the Gold Boots" had some of the best jokes.

Waitress -writing down an order
Tom Servo: "Tee-hee. I'm giving myself my autograph."


Guy drives backwards

Crow: "Might as well get some of that gas back!"

[cookiepuss]

I didn't like it when Joel left. but the show still rocked on and on...to the break o' dawn. I'm in a weird fucking mood today.

[Nuzzolese]

The movie was my favorite.

It is really nerdy. I hate when I mention it to someone and they go "oh so you're one of THOSE people!" and they nod and I've just been placed on a shelf in their brain, in the closet, in the back of the closet, still in the package, like a collector Hoth Princess Leia action figure.

Everyone likes Mitchell but I didn't think it was as good as I Accuse My Parents. "vodka sandwiches again!?"

Which was the one with Trumpy? :D
I can never remember the names of the movies they watch, just parts of them.
Is it still on Saturday mornings at 8?

[Bob]

i haven't been up at 8 on a saturday in years, so i don't know. i don't think so.

trumpy was in pod people. SO many memorable parts in that one, they even bring them up in other mst3k's sometimes.

chief? MCCLOUD!

[Nuzzolese]

That one was so funny they barely had to say anything. It would have been funny without them too, just not as much. Some of the movies they watch, I don't think would be amusing without their jokes. Others are so bad they tell their own jokes. Like the guy in the VIRGIN shirt.

[Nuzzolese]

I remember the joke about the guy's name in the titles. Miles O'Keefe. How much keef is in this movie?

[DIGI]

great show! ever see the reunion episode on cheap seats? shit was hype. cheap seats is a good show, too. too bad i dont get espn classic anymore.:(

yeah, prince of space is one of those kinds of movies. part of what makes it so funny is just the guys audibly laughing at how bad the movie is. they're usually pretty good about not laughing at their own jokes, but it's too hard not to for prince of space, it's SO cheesy and horrible. it's japanese, and the english dubbing is done by "bellucci productions", everyone has these new york italian accents, it's hilarious. i can't even describe how ridiculous it is, it must be seen.

"I'm so sleepy, I can' barely keep my eyes open."

Hercules was good.

Puma, Catalina Capers, *sniff* college days *cries*

haha. SAAANDSTOOOOORM

[Nuzzolese]

Many times I don't get the jokes or reference. I laugh anyway to maintain the spirit of things.

i don't think anyone really truly gets EVERY reference, except the people who make the jokes

[cosmo105]

we introduced heiress and her bf to the wonder that is mst3k. had 'em watch space mutiny. roll fizzlebeef (y)

[Bob]

thick mcrunfast!

i knew you'd mention space mutiny when i saw your name in the last reply section, i didn't even had to read the reply :D

[cosmo105]

it's an initiation thing...we have people watch that, and judge them based on their reactions. heiress and her bf are welcome anytime :cool:

i've also loved Eegah, Prince of Space, uh...hrm, i have 3 of the box sets and i've seen a lot of other ones. i remember Gunslinger being pretty great. and of course, Manos. i have a vhs of the movie somewhere too.

mike's way funnier, but joel is just so cute. and god i hate pearl.


p.s. i like it very much

[Nuzzolese]

I don't think you're joking.

[Bob]

i'm not scared ties are good look at the road

god i love prince of space

HAAA...HA...HA...HA

[cosmo105]

did i sound like i was?

[cosmo105]

i'm not scared ties are good look at the road

god i love prince of space

HAAA...HA...HA...HA
hahaha.

i've seen some great bumper stickers - one was "we like it very much"

another: "I'M HUGE!"

and of course, the great "BIG MCLARGEHUGE"

[Nuzzolese]

did i sound like i was?

You sounded like you were trying to sound like you were but weren't really.

[cosmo105]

ah. i see. kinda. no, it's true. if they ain't got love for the sattelite of love...i ain't got love for them.

[Bob]

your weapons are useless against me! have i mentioned that?

[Nuzzolese]

ah. i see. kinda. no, it's true. if they ain't got love for the sattelite of love...i ain't got love for them.

You're so judgmental and shallow!!

[cosmo105]

that and if they shop at Charlotte Russe. ugh. barf.

[Nuzzolese]

that and if they shop at Charlotte Russe. ugh. barf.

You mean because they're probably 16? That's like Forever 21's younger sister.

[M.C. Guevera]

MST3K is the best show I've ever seen. God, I could watch every episode all day, everyday. The first episode I saw was The Phantom Planet. The episode that turned me into a fan was Devil Fish. My favorite episode is Invasion Of The Neptune Men (Space Chief!).

Krankor: "Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha."

The Final Sacrifice was funny, not just because of Rowsdower, but because of the Yosemite Sam sounding guy.

Yosemite Sam: "McGreggor!?!? Ewan McGreggor!?!?! Father of something!?!?!"
Troy: "Yeah! You know him?"
Servo: "Know him? He was delicious!"

Servo: "By the way, I hates that rabbit."

(Yosemite Sam guy puts on a vest.)
Rowsdower: "They took him!"
Servo: "I gotta go work out!"
(Yosemite Sam guy scratches his beard.)
Yosemite Sam: "Why?"
Mike: "Man, the lice has left my beard."

And anyone notice whenever the kid (Troy) said "Rowsdower", he had a lisp?

Pod People is on its way. (y)

[HEIRESS]

I GREW UP WITHOUT CABLE SO I NEVER SAW THE SHOW UNTIL COSMO AND MATTHIAS SHOWED IT TO ME AND I GODDAMN FREAKIN LOVED IT

(y) (y)

[Nuzzolese]

I could have sworn I watched it on TV before we had cable, before it was shown on Comedy Central. But I could be confusing it with Masterpiece Theater.

[Bob]

i think before comedy central, it showed on some local station in...minnesota. i looked it up in the mst3k wikipedia entry, it wasn't a cable station, it was an over the air thing. KTMA, it was called.

[Nuzzolese]

I've never been in Minnesota so I guess I didn't see it.

I never liked the other "evil" characters who made Mike or Joel and the robots watch the movies. I thought they were too boring and the show could have done without them.

[Bob]

which ones? pearl, bobo, and the brain guy were a little dull, but dr. forrester and TV's frank are a hoot.

[cosmo105]

hated frank, but dr. forrester ruled.


...did bob just say "a hoot"?

[The Notorious LOL]

this is true. it was/is a local UHF station that was bought up by WB.

[afronaut]

The woman is all we want. The others must die. They all must die. We do not even want the woman!

[cosmo105]

^haha. i had forgotten about that line. oh man, manos is painful. someone can only be exposed to manos after being a fan for a while. otherwise, they just get really pissed off and leave.

[The Notorious LOL]

wtf is that Incredible Melting Man one where they keep saying "Nelson.....Nelson, Nelson" with the music

[adam_f]

I could do without all the interludes with the people whose name I don't remember but wish they weren't there and could do with the show just being them making fun of the movie.

[cosmo105]

yeah, the host segments usually sucked. occasionally when they were making fun of the movie it would be great, but i could have lived without Pearl quite happily. we usually just fast forward through those parts.

[Bob]

hated frank, but dr. forrester ruled.


...did bob just say "a hoot"?


how can you hate frank?! i don't like you anymore

i like some of the host segments, but some are a little lame. the ones in pod people were GREAT, however.

idiot control, now

[Bob]

holy shit, there are a bunch of full mst3k episodes up on youtube. for example, here's the movie

http://youtube.com/watch?v=I-iB1yVxRhY&mode=related&search=

they split them up into parts, but there they are

this is nice

[The Notorious LOL]

peace to your signature.

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

It's not unlike ancient dental equipment on Earth - not that you'd know anything about that!

[cosmo105]

hey misties, don't know if you have seen this yet...mike nelson's doing some commentaries on other movies along with a couple former mst3kers. it's called Rifftrax, and the way it works is you download the commentary and then watch it along with the movie. (good way to finally get around all them copyright laws.) they're available here...

woooo!

[HEIRESS]

the fifth element!

[cosmo105]

hell yes. it's only MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. oh, i hope they only praise it and don't make fun of its shortcomings

[HEIRESS]

ah yeah, Im sure they will, yep totally, no worries babycakes :o

[cosmo105]

they would never do such a thing!

[The Notorious LOL]

I 5m0k3d w33d and saw the fifth element in the theater 4 or 5 times omg

[DIGI]

I watched Manos, the hands of fate for the 20,000th time last night. Never gets old. My favorite line is when the dude and girl are making out in the car and a car drives by and Crow says "Beep, beep. Way to go, Steeeeeeeve!"
