Morter posted:I am unreasonably excited for this week's Pumaman tribute. I think it’s interesting because I’m pretty sure the HD upscale they did to the episode is a fan project that’s been given the official blessing. Someone posted on the MST3K subreddit a few months ago that they’d been working on upscaling the old episodes, and were wondering what people thought about posting them somewhere, since the legality was questionable at best, but Ivan commented that they might be able to work something out to put them out there legally.

It's a cool value-added addition to have for Gizmoplex.com, and presumably it can be mostly automated. If it sharpens the picture 99.5% of the time and fucks things up a little bit 0.5% of the time, who gives a poo poo. This isn't something sacred, it's a puppet show.

I'm watching Master Ninja 1 and Crow's net just falls off about 35 minutes into the movie, even makes a noise. Love it when I notice new stuff like this.

One of my favorite things in the older episodes is when a bot starts to randomly fall apart and they just roll with it. I also loved on rare occasion when Joel would get so mad at Crow he’d just begin tearing off random parts and tossing them across the theater.

Is it High School Big Shot where Joel throws Servo across the theater? Sometimes he'd have a low tolerance for shenanigans like his meltdown in that Gila Monster sketch.

High School Big Shot is not an episode, even though I enjoy it, that I revisit terribly often.

High School Big Shot is like It's a Wonderful Life in opposite. It's one of the bleakest movies I've ever seen, and I own Munchie on VHS.

I like High School Big Shot, it's so bleak that it's impossible to take it as anything other than a comedy. And Betty* is very attractive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVJt-Ne8BGQ (*Betty!)

Isn't I Accuse My Parents basically a schmaltzy version of this movie, where nothing much happens?

Halloween Jack posted:Isn't I Accuse My Parents basically a schmaltzy version of this movie, where nothing much happens? No, Jimmy's parents are wealthy drunks and don't commit suicide because they're complete fuckups like Marvin's dad. Jimmy is an unwitting moron to his crimes, not the mastermind to get the money, the respect, and the girl. Mr. Blake gets accidentally shot and killed in the struggle to disarm him, but it's okay because he was the real villain. In High School Big Shot, EVERYBODY dies or is completely ruined.

I Accuse My Parents is a pretty standard juvenile delinquency tale that was popular in the 40s and 50s. High School Big Shot feels like an adaptation of a paperback crime thriller which were full of bleak little stories like that where nobody wins.

I'm pretty sure the new short has a companion piece with a very old Rifftrax short about carnivorous plants. It does pretty much the same thing where it starts out talking about the science and then all of a sudden gets religious.
