MST3K

[ApacheMan2K]

any of you guys familiar with Mystery Science Theater 3000? if you aren't, where have you been?

for those of you who haven't heard of MST3K, it's basically about a guy who gets sent into space, and he has his robot friends who watch crappy movies with him, and they heckle at all the cheesiness of that movie (and a short, too, in some episodes). i'll tell you, their riffs are downright hilarious. you can go to YouTube.com and look up almost any MST3K movie or short.

oh, and for all you MSTies out there, feel free to post links to your favorite movies or shorts, or parts of a movie with your favorite riffs. since i've become a MSTie myself recently, i'll give you two links to a couple of movies i particularly like/dislike:

"Manos: The Hands of Fate" (w/ "Hired!", part II)

"Hobgoblins"

hope you like these movies...or the riffings.

Whoa, MST3K is on YouTube?! This is great! ^_^

And yeah, if you couldn't tell already by my enthusiasm, I'm a big fan of MST3K. It was one of my favorite shows on the Sci-Fi Channel.

My favorite episode was the one where they watch 'Prince of Space'.

::goes to watch Hobgoblins:: ^_^

I've actually watched the 'Manos' film in its entirety ( 9 parts!! ). Man, after watching all that, I actually feel like one of the characters. 
Although watching those cheesy black-and-white film shorts are some of the best LOL moments.

MST3K was great.
It sucks that the SciFi  Channel doesn't run it anymore.

I saw the MST movie, but only like the first twenty minutes or something…

I've never seen MST3K before. But I love it already! Crooow rules. I hope they have this on DVD. If they don't, they should.

I could say the same thing for EVERY single show that has been aired on TV so far. 

[ApacheMan2K]

there are MST3K DVDs available, but not for every movie. you can look them up at online stores, including amazon.com.

[AsterCrow]

I have seen the MST3K movie a hundred thousand times. It's on my "5 movies you'd keep if you could only ever watch 5 movies for the rest of your life" list.

We should make an MST3K version of some SPC episodes XD

[ApacheMan2K]

i'd like to see that (and, if anyone needs a voice-over, i'll gladly do one )!

know what else would be neat? what if we had, like, Speedy, Guru Lou, BadBird, etc. heckle at other lousy movies or shorts? or heckle at crappy Flashes, even?

[Mechadon]

It would be funny if Polly gave commentary on bad romance movies.

  : "Oh Yah, Right! Throw him away like yesterdays meat you dirty WHORE!"

[ApacheMan2K]

i could name one scene in "The Deadly Bees" that would have Big Al say something like, "Of all poor, innocent creatures to kill, why a dog?!"

Try to think of a few anime shows that need MSTing...

[Violet]

I love MST, but I get frustraited with YouTube for anything I'd like to see in a higher quality video.  I still have piles of video taped episodes I recorded back when it was running.  Not DVD quality, but better than YouTube.

[Methid Man]

What can you really expect from flash?

Then again, it's certainly better than nothing for those who don't have taped episodes to begin with.

i've found some things that could use the MST3K treatment: those clips from the Zelda CD-I games! i've tried my hand at riffing on two from "Link: The Faces of Evil" recently.

ACK! The terrifying games of Zelda?! (Secretly wants to watch them)

You know, we all should come up with our own scripted wisecracks for those awful clips. In one scene, you get this turban-wearing guy (SteC - "In Hyrule, apparently. Oh wait, NO ONE even mentions Hyrule in this game") showing off a map of Koredai ("My spelling bee career never took off anyway...") to find Ganon ("...there's a fish on the map").

Those terrifying Zelda games are hilarious to watch. Please watch them all! _{if you dare}

I actually found a couple of tapes full of episodes a few weeks back. Unfortunately, I don't have a VCR anymore, and the tapes don't seem to be in the best of shape, hehe.

The movie that they were making fun of in the MST3K movie was on TV a couple of months back. It's just not the same.

True...unless you have memorized all the jokes in it like I have ^^;
