Dawgstar posted:I'm also a bit iffy on Catalina Caper for season 2. They're spot on about Manos, though: quote:Yet Manos’s incompetencies seem satanically deliberate, given that this film turned out to anticipate the dark psychosis that would overtake the closing years of 1960s America. The isolated desert locale, the off-putting free jazz soundtrack, the filthy sets, and the cultish sex vibe are how I envision life with the Manson Family during their stint at Spahn Ranch.

Narsham posted:Based on the frequent posts of a couple critics in an MST message board I peek at from time to time, I think you're spot on. A subgroup of people massively ignorant of the conditions under which TV is produced are convinced that Joel, on his own, is doing a lot of impractical artsy-fartsy stuff and insisting on higher production values instead of the bare-bones original show. Complaints about having all the extra puppeteers, for example, or not just having the three main performers with the puppets in the theater. Yeah, this stuff pisses me off. People don't realize the process behind making things. I also don't think people get just how much work it takes to make something look thrown together. Plus, the new stuff is being shot with HD cameras versus videotape, so now you can see everything in high fidelity. And the show wasn't a core group of people's full time job either. During the original run, that was the performer's main job. But now, the cast are doing this in between gigs. Joel mentioned how the voice actors wouldn't really have time to learn how to do good puppetry. It wasn't like the Netflix stuff was overly elaborate. I think a lot of people think producing the show back in the 90s was just a 90 minute affair, and that's never been true.

Has anyone built a guide that explains what the pledge goals actually are for the Kickstarter? I want to back it, but they're confusing me. Gizmoplex seems like a subscription service just for MST3K but it's also a physical theater and a VR thing? I'm confused by it.

It’s a platform for releasing new episodes, but also streaming live events. I read the VR thing as something they’d like to add to it eventually.

The name is being used for both the streaming service and an actual set they're planning on making to use as a location in the show, and in turn it sounds like they'll be doing a VR conversion of said set to be used in conjunction with the app

I think Village of the Giants is meant to be a goofy family comedy along the same lines of The Nutty Professor or The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. It's just Bert I. Gordon is not a good filmmaker, there are no jokes, and the teenagers are way too malicious and not played for comedy enough.

Tormented is way better than it has any right to be and I think that's because Bert's daughter was one hell of a child actor.

They're at $2.22mil currently $2mil (reached already): 3 more episodes and Gizmoplex streaming service created $3.3mil: 6 more episodes and Gizmoplex apps availability $4.4mil: 9 more episodes and a year of live events on Gizmoplex (at least two a month) $5.5mil: 12 more episodes and 12 shorts That's what's guaranteed. They've also explored 3D and VR possibilities for Gizmoplex The bare minimum is we're going to get three more episodes and Gizmoplex
