I let Mr Boods pick out the experiments any more without any prompting (although I'm in a mood to see Fugitive Alien again.) This week, he says he's found one about 'an incredibly melting man,' and would it be ok if we looked at that one. Fortunately, I'd just had my breasts lowered and my hips pulled out at odd angles, so I pulled on my go go boots, made sure we have crackers, and told him, 'You've not seen anything til you've seen the sun through the rings of Saturn.' We know a Steve (who doesn't), so the idea of a monster called Steve pleased him. Melting Man is seriously one of my top 10. I remember when it was in the cinema, and my mom wouldn't let me go see it (to be fair I'm about the same age as the little girl in the film, and just the ads for the film on TV freaked me out). ATCHKA! PS I'd be all for more Arch Hall, Jr, films, as well -- weren't they planning to do Wild Guitar in the original series?

I wonder if we'll see more 80's-90's cheese fests over the 50's B movie style films. That seemed like the direction the last few seasons were going.

Cheesy groaners are almost always better. The problem with a lot of the 50s and 60s movies is that they were just so incomprehensible that you couldn't follow them and they just became boring. Also, each passing generation is significantly less likely to watch a black and white film than the previous. No matter what it is or how good/bad it is, progressively younger people don't want it if it's not in color.

It's a shame, because the  episodes are among my favorite.As for the black-and-white issue, Rifftrax has done colorized versions at some of their live shows, which has even produced riffable moments on their own (such as in Plan 9 when one of the alien's face turns green for no reason).

After they release the riff for the last Harry Potter movie, will that be the end of that part of their business? I enjoy making my own riffed version of big budget crap.

Brennanite posted:I firmly believe that no one can follow the plot of Red Zone Cuba. I've seen a lot of bad films, but that takes the cake. Let's see. I can't remember the names but Colman Francis escapes from jail. On the run he meets up with two migrant workers/ex-cons. They decide to join up (mostly at the threat of Colman but also knowing what it's like to be in prison.) One guy has heard that you can get some money ($1000?) by fighting against Castro in Cuba. They figure, once they join up and get the cash they'll split. It seems like easy money. They trade their truck to Cherokee Jack for a flight to Cuba. Unfortunately when they get there it turns out that the guy financing the whole thing (Chastain?) is only paying by check and after they win back his parents land. They are forced to stay and train as a force to set up the Bay of Pigs. The operation is a failure and they get captured. They share a 'cell' (more like a stable) with a badly wounded Chastain. They find out that he lives up in the States and has a mine on his land [Goddamn it, I can't remember what it mined. Something unusual.] They are able to escape leaving Chastain behind. They steal a plane and head back to the US. It's a bit hazy for me here but their plan is to find the mine and I'm not sure. Rob it? Take it over? Along the way they rob and kill a diner owner (and in the uncut version, Colman Francis rapes the man's blind daughter). They hop a train and end up at the mine and meet Chastain's wife and tell her the bad news about her husband. They join with her to work on the mine. Somehow the police track them down. Colman guns down the wife and is shot dead from a helicopter. The other two are captured. At the same time Chastain arrives home from Cuba, alive (and of normal size) and finds his dead wife. -fin- Edit: Tungsten. It was a Tungsten mine.

One little correction is that Cherokee Jack doesn't fly them to Cuba, they just go to some indeterminate place in the desert to train.

precision posted:The best of the black and white films are things like Daddy-O, a lot of the 50s monster movies are just incredibly tedious. Deadly Mantis was suitably fun. Honestly a GOOD 50s monster movie is perfect fodder for MST3K, because they're slower paced but tend to have really weird poo poo go down that's easy to mock. The best monster movies though are from the 60s and 70s. What I'm trying to say is, I really want them to finish the old school Gamera movies. They got all but two of them, and the last two might possibly be the worst of all.

I like to believe that Francis thought up this line as the perfect ending to his movie, "Griffin ran all the way to hell... with a penny, and a broken cigarette", then worked the plot out backwards just to get to that point.

There certainly are plenty of the black and white films that are fun and charming, just that in the general scheme of things for every Prince of Space, there are 50 Monster-A-Go-Go's. Probably more. Unfortunately, they'll never be able to get any more of the Japanese monster movies. They only got the rights to them in the first place because the Gamera people had never heard of this little podunk puppet show, let alone "Minnesota"; whatever that was. But once the show grew in popularity, and they actually bothered to figure out what said puppet show does with their property, they got upset and started yanking the rights away. Maybe someday there will be new management that will be more congenial, but the outlook is bleak on that front.

You could probably fill a book with movies made just like that.

So I found something on Youtube that's kinda cool. Someone uploaded footage they took back in 1996 of the second MST3k convention. Highlights include what looks like a DOOM tournament or something as well as a live screening of a short that was meant to be on a CD-ROM the guys were working on but never came into being. The CD-ROM apparantly was meant to have a little flight sim on it as well as two exclusive shorts: Assignment:Venezuela (which is the one shown at the convention) and a short about Mylar that apparantly got lost when Best Brains moved offices and is now considered lost forever. The footage isn't awesome and the sounds sucks (it's pretty much impossible to hear the riffs during the short but you can find it in perfect condition on youtube) but it's fun to see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVIDfUe1fDE The rest of the footage is in the links on the side of the page.
