I haven’t seen it yet! I ended up going into the city on Saturday night. I hope no one thought I had turned to stone after watching it 😃

The true funniest part is where the film cuts back and forth between the Master and the painting of the master about ten times. Then Tom goes “oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh”, as if he had just figured it out.

I’m a “her”, actually. 🙂

Seriously, the cheap DVD players are awesome.

I haven’t seen this one yet. How does this compare to “Space Mutiny” the funniest MST3K I’ve seen yet? The other MST3K thread is too much of a monster for me to dig through.

I would say the riffing in Space Mutiny is funnier. Everyone should see Manos, though, just to have the experience; you don’t look at bad movies in quite the same way after that.

Yeah, **Space Mutiny** is funnier. \*\* Manos \*\* is just so \*bad \* that it’s really not cheesy, just awful.

I loved Joel’s robe and mustache during one of the skits.

You know, it’s searchable. 😉 I haven’t gotten up to Space Mutiny yet as far as reviews (I’ve seen it, though). I did do Manos.

I only added 5.04 and 5.05 on Sunday…
