Gavok posted:Similarly, I think Pumaman is a fine superhero flick for the time where the main flaws are the costuming decisions, the special effects and that one really weird line about dinosaurs. A lot is said about Pumaman being worthless, but he does fine compared to most movie superheroes. It's more that they decided to merge Obi Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca into one character with the Aztec guy and the only time he's shown to be in any peril is during a brawl late in the movie. Even if Pumaman is the guy who saved him, he still looks like a novice in comparison. Pumaman also had this feeling like they weren't sure if they were going with an actual superhero movie, or like, a parody superhero movie. I suppose it's not helped by there not being all that many big superhero movies out when it was made. And the whole random grab bag of powers too. Just like, stick with the puma theme. Keep the "claw hands," swap the teleportation for stealth and speed and the flying for leaping, and ditch the entire "pretend to be dead" plot point - you had this whole willpower thing going, then the only way he solves that is by playing dead and his girlfriend breaking the fake head that the bad guy made with the mask.

Barudak posted:I just realized the non-sequitor "bitch" at the end of a joke about titanic in the at your fingertips short is a callback to the goddamn titanic rifftrax from <squints> 2009 Which was a callback to the MST3K Academy of Robots' Choice Awards Preview Special from 1998.

Manos is really fascinating to me, because it seems like there COULD have been something decent there, but it was hampered by a combination of budget and incompetence. "Family stumbles into weird cult, cult starts to break up while creepy, supernatural stuff happens to the family," at least sounds like it could be the pitch for a real horror movie. But then all the characters just do the dumbest stuff at every possible turn.

Another Bill posted:Bill posted a few (4?) months ago about having a cancer biopsy, hopefully this abswnce isnt related. He was quarantined due to his wife testing positive for COVID-19 recently. She has recovered, according to a recent tweet.

Breadallelogram posted:they couldn't think of good jokes for that part It could also be that the version they got the rights to was pre-cut for some reason. MST3K used to cut movies for time or content, but they’d also get TV edited versions that may have already had missing stuff.

muscles like this! posted:What's funny is that they tried to do a livestreaming thing on the Rifftrax site way back in the day and it didn't work then either. Yeah, it was Shake Hands with Danger and Planet of Dinosaurs. I remember trying to watch that and it just kinda fell apart. But they released downloads to the ticket holders not long after.

By popular demand posted:Caution: the short titled Bored At Work is actually about depression (guess old timey America was even worse about acknowledging psychological issues). My wife got SOOOOOOO mad at the wife in that short. We also usually use a shuffled playlist of Rifftrax shorts as background noise on the sleep timer, and that's one of the ones left off the list. Definitely one to make you more depressed by watching it.

Canned Panda posted:It was just recently. From what I understand, they are going to try and do a new MKB version of it, and then that version will disappear for good I wonder if Lowtax’s kids get some kind of residuals. Ditto for the live shows with the Shmorky shorts. That might be a reason to keep it around. This weekend, I watched the Plan 9 live show with some friends (who are familiar with the forums), and there was a definite groan when Lowtax came out on stage.
