Ballz posted:Showed him the pic and he doesn't think so. He says it was bat wings on the forehead of the helmet and that Joel/Mike and the bots had a field day with it. It could be The Sword and the Dragon/Ilyo Muromets, which was by the same director as Sampo and Sadko. The villain looked like this:  Edit: If it is in B&W like he remembers, maybe Viking Women and the Sea Serpent? Been a long time since I've seen that one.

Could he be thinking of the Undersea Kingdom shorts? B&W, lots of goofy helmets... Edit: Maybe he was remembering the hero's helmet in the later installments:  Edit 2: I scanned through Viking Women, and the villain just has a simple furry helmet with a spike on top.

Powered Descent posted:The recital by the United Servo Academy Men's Chorus, directed by United Servo Academy Men's Choral Director, Vice-Brigadier Sir Thomas "Bullhead" Servo, performing the United Servo Academy Men's Chorus Hymn, makes up for any failings the experiment may have. This, as well as the Cowboys Mike's Ricochet Barbecue Sauce, which remains one of my all-time favorites.

Coheed and Camembert posted:Werewolf is a fun one. I'm in the middle of watching Puma Man too. Am I wrong or is the implication at the beginning that the big buff guy was just randomly throwing people out of windows to their deaths until he finds the Puma Man? That's meant to be a red herring, and it's actually the villain's henchmen that were doing it to everyone else, and the big buff guy only threw out the hero because he KNEW he was the Pumaman.

bad posts ahead!!! posted:Nobody likes Swamp Diamonds and it's one of my favorites I like Swamp Diamonds. Roger Corman films are always fascinating, because they get so close to being decent, you feel that maybe he actually has some talent as a filmmaker, but his priority on churning out his films as cheaply and quickly as possible has always been his fatal flaw.

It's Godzilla, and he doesn't drill inside as much as he pilots his sub into his mouth and gets swallowed, then escapes through a hole in his shoulder created by a drill missile. But yeah, that one.

InfiniteZero posted:I once spoke to Luigi Cozzi (aka Lewis Coates) about Starcrash (*) and the basic answer to any continuity or logic question is "because it was fun to do that". He's the directorial embodiment of the "you should really just relax" line from the MST3K song. He's a cool dude. poo poo, I was in Rome last week, and according to Google Maps, I was only a few blocks from here. Wish I had known about this earlier.

Jose Oquendo posted:Everything about the new season is rushed and half-assed and it shows. Rushed is correct; almost all of the common criticisms I've seen are directly related to the fact that the entire season had to be shot in two weeks. "Half-assed" is pretty disingenuous, though; the same as complaints of "trying too hard". Both are empty criticisms that boil down to "I don't like it."

They're both things said by people trying to identify an objective reason for their dislikes, but who lack enough understanding of what their criticizing to offer anything useful. They're plenty of things to criticize the new season about, but I keep seeing people say 'half-assed' and 'too hard' and stopping there, as if they actually meant something, and it bugs that crap out of me. Mister Kingdom posted:Actually, I liked, but it's not on the same level as the original. I never even insinuated that it was, and I'm not sure what this response has to do with my complaint of lazy criticism.

rydiafan posted:Ok, maybe I slightly misheard Kevin Murphy yesterday, but the point is I was miles off originally. Fun fact: I pronounce my last name differently than my father simply out of preference. It's one of the last names that no one else pronounces right on their first try anyways, so I stopped caring about authenticity. Point is, don't beat yourself up about it.

My favorite season for host segments is hands down Season 6. Texas Mike's Ricochet BBQ Sauce, A Joke By Igmar Bergman, the Deep 13 B&B and the Llama Farm, and the audiophile sketch from The Creeping Terror, all crack my up no matter how many times I watch them. I think it's a combination of Frank Conniff's writing and Mike Nelson's acting, as well as the fact that Season 6 was when Mike was really developing his own schtick after having to take over midway through 5.

Also Comedy Central era vs Sci-fi Channel era. I used to have a friend who was also a big MSTie, and when we were discussing favorite episodes, I mentioned classics like Pumaman, Werewolf, and Space Mutiny. His response was "I don't watch that era because Bobo and Brain Guy are stupid." This was mid to late '00s. Nerd snobs never change.

business hammocks posted:My only real opinion is that Trace and Mary Jo are the weakest mad pairing, but they’re not debilitating to the show. The characters just don’t play off of each other right. I can agree with that. Also Pearl didn't become that interesting of a character until the reboot when she got to be more than just Clayton's mother.

Powered Descent posted:I thought Rifftrax didn't necessarily need to get any rights at all. That's what made it viable in the first place. All they're selling you is an audio track of three guys saying things, things which sync up into jokes when watched with a particular movie, which the viewer has to provide. It's nice when they DO get the rights to stream the whole thing together as one, but they don't need anyone's permission to distribute an audio file of three guys talking. He's talking about the live shows, where they have to secure broadcast rights in order to stream it in theaters.

I guess I'm the outlier who doesn't enjoy the B&W teenage morality films that much. I mean yeah, its prime riffing material, but the films themselves are almost painful for me to sit through, even with A-tier riffing. I think its because I just can't shut off the part of my brain that gets angry at what was considered mainstream morality in that era. Teenage Crime Wave is one of the worst for me, because how little the film addresses the fact that the protagonist gets screwed by the system and her parents (ironically due to that antiquated morality the film is promoting), then says 'well it all worked out for her in the end, so keep being good I guess.' The only one I really enjoyed was Girls' Town, and that's mainly because the titular institution is actually pretty progressive by standards of that era.

Dawgstar posted:I see what you did there. You do? Because I sure don't. For content, while I got into MST3K via their giant monster episodes, my favorites are the Italian films. Particularly the spy/crime thrillers i.e. Secret Agent Super Dragon, Danger Death Ray, Operation Double 007, and Diabolik, but also the genre knockoffs like Warrior of the Lost World, Escape 2000, Pumaman, and all of the CC-era Hercules films. I'm really happy that the revival got Starcrash and The Christmas That Almost Wasn't, and really hope they continue to get more for future seasons.

Powered Descent posted:In fairness, the MST version did have to chop out a total of 20 minutes from the film. I have yet to see the uncut version but my understanding is that nothing of importance happens in those 20 minutes anyway. The Metaluna sequence is a little less rushed but the characters still don't do anything of importance. I watched it a few times as a kid before the MST3K version, and most of the edited material took place in the mansion, building up the 'mystery' surrounding Exeter and Brak, and giving the Professor some token development before they blow him up. There is also a longer space battle (or what passes for one) between the Metalunan ship and the Zagons en route. It should be noted that it was a very well received film when it was released, but it has aged very poorly when compared to contemporaries like War of the Worlds and Forbidden Planet.

World Famous W posted:How many films can you remember seeing before watching the riffed version? A gas station when I was a child had a vhs rental section and had Merlin's Shop for some reason. I watched that any times before ever seeing the episode. All of the Godzilla and Gamera films, Lost Continent, Earth vs the Spider, This Island Earth, Deadly Mantis, Gorgo, Reptilicus, Land that Time Forgot, At The Earth's Core. Also, Phase IV and Legend of Dinosaurs from the KTMA season, but I've never actually sat trough a KTMA episode. I also saw Wizards of the Lost Kingdom I as a Rifftrax VOD before they pulled it, but that probably doesn't count.
