Gaspy Conana posted:I'm excited mostly because maybe my wife will be able to enjoy it with me. She's German and a few years younger and most of the jokes are dependent on you either being American or old enough to remember 90s pop culture. Yeah, I think this is the part that excites me the most. MST3k is funny when you only understand half the jokes, so hopefully it's even better when you understand a larger portion of the jokes.

There are nearly 200 episodes, a feature length film, and multiple spin-offs. That's a lot even for a dedicated fan.

Bicyclops posted:There are cynics who would label that as branding, but I think it's her real and honest feelings on it, because both her and Patton are in a place where this isn't exactly the path of least resistance in terms of advancing their careers. I think they're both MSTies who got to be on a show that they loved, and part of me hopes they break about as much as the original cast did just so we can sometimes see how often the occasionally think "Hell, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is back, and I'm acting on the show! I hope this starts a dynasty - a world where MST3k never ends. Like Doctor Who but with even worse special effects.

Yeah Joel in general comes off as a bit more good-natured and innocent, and his riffs tend to be a bit less harsh. Mike can be really spiteful.

That trailer really put some of the doubts I had to rest, it seems like they really did keep the tone of the old episodes. And the effects were cheap enough.

They tend to do movies that don't have a lot of entertainment value on their own. Things you can watch, even ironically, without them don't tend to be in their wheelhouse. There are better or worse films they've done, but that seems to be the general pattern.

I really hope they bring back the invention exchange, honestly. It was one of the best parts of Joel era MST3k. Letters would be nice too, but I think those are way less likely.

Holy gently caress the Monster song had my dying. This new rapidfire riff style is amazing, honestly. And as someone who got into MST3k as a small child it's even funnier now because more of the riffs land.

mangler103 posted:In Italian filmmaking of that era, sound was almost never recorded on set. And in some cases, actors just read their lines in whatever language they speak, and everything is dubbed in later. Helps with international markets and such. Yeah, even really good Italian films from the era like the Dollars Trilogy do this. It's actually one of the reasons they're so sparse on dialogue.

Bicyclops posted:The thing that particularly aggravates me on my Facebook are people who see it as some kind of cynical, Hollywood-ized nostalgia cash-in, sell-out, because it really just seems clear that Joel was upset that his jokey puppet show died and found a bunch of up-and-coming comedians who grew up with and loved it to death. Whatever flaws it might have in the tough balancing act between winking too much and winking too little, staying too faithful and reinventing the wheel, bringing in new, exciting talent and maintaining the cow town feel, everyone associated with it tried really hard, whether they were making cardboard cut-outs, playing a cover of the Canada song, or just mailing postcards to backers. At least that terribly wrong reviewer admitted it was a labor of love. I honestly can't think of anything I've seen lately that feels more earnest. Everyone is throwing their heart and soul into this, and you can just feel it. They just want to make you laugh, it's really sweet.

BJPaskoff posted:It's really interesting how they mostly avoid the obvious dirty jokes. I used to think it was just a product of the time that they couldn't get too obscene on cable, but now I believe it's just their style of humor. It's probably for the better, a lesser movie riffing group would probably lean too heavily on the easy dirty comments. Joel has talked about how he wants to maintain a "light PG-13" because of how much of the fanbase back in the day was kids and families. I think it's the right choice: raunchy enough that the kids get to feel like it's a treat to watch and mild enough that the average parent will be comfortable with letting kids see it.

He kinda reminds me of the pilot from San Francisco International, but his face is neither as large or as troublesome. Still kinda got that same creepy quality though.

I honestly think that's the biggest difference between this MST3k and previous generations. It almost feels more like a goofy musical at times. I suppose when you have that much vocal talent you're gonna use it.
