Gaspy Conana posted:What are the most watchable MST films other than This Island Earth? By 'most watchable' I mean least boring; they can be bad-good or good-good. Phase IV? (The original is praised for its visuals) Humanoid Woman? (I didn't see it riffed. The original movie was pretty entertaining.)

Did Shout!Factory begin reprinting MST3K volumes starting from Vol.I? Sorry if I'm late to the discussion, I've just noticed new titles on Amazon. Is the content any different from the original release?

Are they keeping the old team of bots? I thought they were designing something entirely new. Blink two times for yes if you can't answer.

People who went to the screening, if this doesn't sound strange to you, what existing MST3K episode(s) would you recommend to watch to better prepare for the new stuff? As in, I know my friend wants to watch the original Twin Peaks again before the new season is out, this sort of thing. e: speaking of NDA, would you consider breaking it if the person you're talking to flashes an official MST3K Revival League card at you? And if not, why not? ringu0 fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 15, 2017 |

Their coats look like color-confused military uniforms circa WWII or something. I mean both Felicia and Patton look great wearing them, and I can't wait to see what Joel and the team made of the new generation of Mads.

Mr.Radar posted:There's a new Kickstarter update out with info about when different people will get access to the episodes. If you backed at the $25 level or higher you will get streaming access to the first episode (on VHX) on April 8th (for 24 hours) and there will be an official simulwatch with Joel and the rest of the cast followed by a Q&A. What a welcome update. I am definitely going to order Netflix streaming, if only for a month. Is there any other Netflix Originals I should check out? I'm already planning to see Jessica Jones and Sense8

wa27 posted:Stranger Things is an obvious answer, but honestly they have produced so much original content now that it really depends on your taste. I really liked Wet Hot American Summer. Thank you, I forgot about this one. Yeah, they produced a ton of content, and it was a silly question to ask anyway. I was sort of keeping track of what I wanted to see, but then the list became too long. In any case, here's the list of what people might want to see on Netflix after they finish Season 11: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix

Bimmi posted:Gorgo is too good a movie for MST3K, without the saving comedic grace of being bugshit insane like the Finno-Russian entries. Is there a non-joke explanation why Jack Frost is called a russo-finnish movie? I looked it up, and didn't see where Finland would be involved in production. I mean I should really just relax, but I'm sort of curious. Fun fact: Alexander Rou, a Soviet film director who worked on Jack Frost, was half Irish, which explains his unusual family name, originally spelled as Rowe.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Speaking of which, do you think the new season will be edited to fit a certain length, or will they take full advantage of the online distribution and make the episode length irregular? Quoted from A Good Interview in the post above: quote:Given that the new series is on Netflix, and has no commercials or time constraints, I didn’t expect that it would still stick to being 90 minutes long, with three host segments in the middle, and even bumpers for commercial breaks. Why do that?

This was fantastic for a first episode of a reboot of a decade old show. MST3K really is back, refreshed and renewed. They even had subtitles which is more than I hoped for. Even though I have definitely met my lifetime quota on seeing blonde people acting badly, I'll be back for live viewing at 2pm.

ComposerGuy posted:If you backed at the digital or DVD/Blu-Ray level but also have Netflix, watch it there! I agree, and it looks like Netflix gives you a free trial month if you're a new customer, so you can get a new MST3K season paying absolutely nothing.

Jose Oquendo posted:Ok, so I have an example of the problems I have with the riffing. In Avalanche (about 40 minutes in) a helicopter makes a landing. They sing the MASH theme since the shot is reminiscent of that. While someone is still doing the theme song, they start ANOTHER joke and have someone 'announce' the movie, similar to what Radar would do in MASH. Literally a nano-second later, they make ANOTHER joke about parking in a handicapped spot. This is because you know what MASH theme sounds like, and who Radar is. The unwashed masses (me included, as I haven't seen MASH) would only get the baseline parking joke.

business hammocks posted:I know this is from a week ago or something, but it's a gag and the gag is that Kinga and Max are kind of stupid and not very creative, like how half their inventions are just plagiarism of riffs even when they don't really understand the original jokes. Speaking of... I'm pretty sure someone dropped a "nightmare fuel" line during yesterday's Rifftrax. It would go by completely unnoticed if not for all the weird complaints here.

tarlibone posted:Man, that movie... I looked it up on wikipedia, and apparently The Christmas That Almost Wasn't is a lovechild of Sam Whipple (original book and movie adaptation) and Phineas Prune (directing). When both writer and director also co-star in the movie they're making, yeah, it's a hallmark of an MST3K movie.
