Bobbin Threadbare posted:I imagine he also wanted a clean start for the reboot. New cast, new set crew, new writing team. Yeah, I can see that. I think Joel was looking to the future and the idea of having MST3K live on, which means a new crew would have to take over. Plus, with anything like this, it's going to generate some tension. People may feel that they're being passed over, or they don't like the changes, or whatever. It doesn't matter if it's a TV show or a workplace or a band or a crime ring.

Gavok posted:I think one of my favorite bits in this season is Jonah completely losing his poo poo during the explosions in Mac and Me. That was the same moment that completely broke my fiancee as she covered her eyes and yelled, "WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME WATCH?!" That was one of my favorite moments. I had to rewind that moment just to observe it again.

That whole movie - One question - did the continuity director go out to lunch? I loved how the bar in New Orleans is suddenly also in Manhattan. Or the one woman is wearing a salmon shirt inside the base during the first attack, but during the helicopter ride, she's wearing the blue shirt she would be wearing during the attack on Manhattan. Or Treach has the band on his head in one shot, and then it's not there the next! I also love how none of the military guards are prepared to deal with someone holding a gun to the admiral's head. Like, the look on their face is one of confusion, shock, and panic. It's like - weren't you trained for this? Aren't you also armed with heavy weaponry. And why would the president order a nuclear strike and not talk to the guy running the whole organization, but instead, only to Geist. Unless it's meant to be some sort of conspiracy, but I didn't really pick up on that... but that could also have been edited out from the show.

Best part of Lords of the Deep: the second unit director of photography did the cinematography for Steven Speilberg's movies. If I understand correctly, he was fired from Lords of the Deep for shooting footage that was too good.

He's like, hey, I'm writing this cheap movie that basically just needs to be a step above a bunch of crayon drawings made by a 5-year-old, but this is a great line. I should use this more often. Maybe this can be my "streets ahead."

Liberal Idiot posted:I'm convinced they used the same "cockpit" set for all three robots, just using one of those remote-control color-changing Christmas light strands from Target behind them. It's also the same set for the "submarine." I still love how at the climax, when the guy with the eyepatch holds a gun to Admiral "Get on the Horn," all the other soldiers on guard and armed with machine guns are just looking panicked and confused. Like, I understand why you might not shoot the guy. Also, I love how the cell is clearly just a spare office. Like, that thing is massive.

He was also in the running for Woody from Cheers. Imagine the potential for a Frasier/MST3K crossover. We missed out. We got a good deal overall, but it could have been an 11 out of 10 instead of a 10 out of 10. There was a point where Joel was poised to become an actor and break into some big things. But if I recall, it just wasn't what he wanted. In the end, he made a great comedic franchise, so I feel like he made the right choices. Except I still want Frasier on the satellite of love.

At, Jungle Goddess. I loved how the one white guy just starts killing people indiscriminately, but because he's white and they're not, it's ultimately okay and their reasonable response to a wanton murderer is not portrayed as such in the movie.

ringu0 posted:Speaking of complete MST3K collections, are two Anniversary editions and a Turkey Day box necessary to complete one? Or these episodes will appear on the regular volumes later? They are all featuring unique episodes. The only exception is that 25th anniversary features Mitchell and The Brain that Wouldn't Die as a bonus, and Shout may have issued one of those films as a single. You'll also need the singles for Red Zone Cuba and The Wild World of Batwoman and Manos: The Hands of Fate.

muscles like this! posted:It's hard for me to get outraged at The Violent Years just because the scene is done so badly. Like maybe if anyone in the scene had actually shown any emotion at all it would have been different but the guy is barely put out by the impending attack. I watched that episode and it didn't really strike me as offensive. I think a big part of it was that the movie wasn't going for horror or any kind of emotional pay off but rather just titillation. It's a male fantasy. And I didn't realized that some people could consider Eskimo impolite. Like, I never heard it before now. I do cringe a little when they shorten Gypsy's name, but I know it's just an unfortunate coincidence (although some people do consider even the full term to be a slur, but like a lot of these things, it depends on who you ask). Edit: https://www.uaf.edu/anlc/resources/inuit-eskimo/ So it looks like it depends. In Canada and Greenland, they don't like it, and in Alaska, they are okay with Eskimo.

MST3K is an appreciation society. They're rarely unfair to the movies, they just have fun with them. A movie like Time Chasers is ridiculous. But through that show, how many people have a fond appreciation for a movie that dares to show us the food court of the future!

Also, all the Crows go for a nasally voice, so they have a similar profile. Josh's Servo had a very deep, but slow voice. Kevin was a little higher pitched, but very much a mix of affable and bombastic. Hampton is in between the two in terms of pitch, but is closer to Kevin's in terms of personality.

Dr. Gargunza posted:I'm still weirded out by their never once mentioning how the effects for that movie were just stolen directly from the 1978 Battlestar Galactica tv show. Have they ever explained that (legal issues, pressure from SciFi, etc.)? For a team so adept with detail and obscure references, that seems like a huge oversight. They just didn't recognize it until after the episode aired. Nobody's prefect.

I can't figure out what mixed audio, both channels mean. It annoys me. During the Comedy Central run, the show was done in mono, so both channels shouldn't refer to stereo, but maybe I'm wrong? Except about the show being in mono. It wasn't until Sci-Fi that it switched to stereo.

Gnome de plume posted:Okay, I'm not too far along with the new series, just got done with the Time Travellers episode, sketches have been pretty good, but by christ do the ever learn to give there riffs room to breathe? It feels like they're trying fill in as much dead air as humanly possible and they're so lengthy it's like I'm watching a Cinema Sins video, which is not a good thing. Season 2 gets a lot better. I think it's a side effect of doing the voices pre-recorded, and also this idea that you had to have more jokes than the old episodes. Do it got to a point where it sounded unnatural. Like Jonah would say something, and immediately, Crow would build on that at a million miles a minute. Season 2 is fast, but it doesn't come off as Pierce riffing on Kick Puncher 2 in Community.

But that's not to start an argument. The only time I ever felt like they went too far was the beginning of The Incredibly Strange Creatures... where the jokes at the beginning... It wasn't even funny to begin with.
