Crow and Tom’s reverential love for and horror at the demise of Megaweapon is guaranteed to leave me incapacitated for the next hour. ---

> [@rinni](#): > > SOOOOOOOOOOODIUM! For this very reason, that movie would have been simply too annoying to be fun – yes, you figured it out 30 minutes ago, so put some damn sodium on the monsters!!! If it weren’t for Tom mirroring my own exasperation, I don’t think I could have stood it. But fortunately, Tom was there to take that bullet. (A great line from that ep – “I just saw Rent!”) > [@CandidGamera](#): > > Michael Bay’s new project, The Island, appears from early reports to be essentially a remake of **parts : the clonus horror**. Yeah, that made for a couple very surreal minutes sitting in the previews before Star Wars last weekend. –Cliffy P.S. Well, the cheese isn’t gonna cut itself. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > You know, I can’t think of an episode I don’t like. Every line and reference you all have posted has me thinking, “Yeah, that was great!” > > As for which DVDs, I’d say start with the four-episode set volume 5. It has Boggy Creek II: Etc, “Geez, Do a pushup, kid.”, Merlin’s Mystical Shop of Wonders “Rock n’ Roll Martian…”, Time Chasers (With Pink Boy!), and Touch of Satan “This is where the fish lives.” > > Three great recent episodes and one good one. Oh, man, **Boggy Creek II**. That one has one of my very favorite gags ever. The group walks into the general store. Store owner: “Can I help you?” Crow: “Yes, do you sell turquoise plastic pith helmets?” Because, you see, on the wall in the background hangs a turquoise plastic pith helmet. It’s just so damn goofy, it slays me. ---

Oooh! Oooh! I just have to mention my favorite joke. In the short on cheating, when the crew starts shouting “Barabus! Give us Barabus!” I always crack up. And I always have to explain it to my wife. ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > Michael Bay’s new project, The Island, appears from early reports to be essentially a remake of **parts : the clonus horror**. Which had the best closing credits sequence ever, the “James Arness: Ugly & Stupid” – next on Biography" bit. Induces cardiac arrest. Second-best closing credits sequence would be in Wuhrwilf, with all the songs that can be sung to the same rhythm as the chanting in the movie. “I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates, you’ve got a brand new key…TUSK!” ---

I guess I’m a fan of the Mike era. Soultaker (during a close-up shot of [Robert Z’Dar](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0120494/) ): “He’s like a catcher’s mitt with eyes!” The Deadly Mantis: Way too many to quote, but I love when the Army officer is wooing the woman in his car, when the radio reports the mantis sighted nearby. The woman asks if they should go after the mantis. Quoth Mike: “But there’s a mantis in my pantis.” 😃 And let us not forget _Overdrawn at the Memory Bank_ with its anti-anteater agenda. Best song: Servo’s Canada song. So evil! ---

I still love _The Movie_, when they do their own credits. The Amazing Rando gets me every time, and I can’t help it. Another great credits sequence: _The Hellcats_ opening. “Backgrounds illustrated by the Technicolor Yawn.” ---

Maybe we should let **CandidGamera** proceed with his quest…now that we’ve completely hijacked his thread. CG, was it your intent to do a show-by-show commentary? Now that we’ve done a free-for-all “ooh! ooh! I love this one!” 🙂 ---

That the writers aren’t currently the highest-paid writers in Hollywood is an indictment of the entertainment industry. I just saw Danger!! Death Ray for the first time…good, good stuff. Heroine, on phone to hero: Please, come quickly. Crow: That’s how it usually goes… A “did he just say that?” moment. ---

As a moderate MST3K fan, I’m asking you for help. I don’t have much time at the moment to watch all the experiments I have, so can you please recommend which movies from the 2nd and 7th season are the best. I plan to watch them all but later when I can breathe more freely. From the above mentioned seasons, I’ve allready seen King Dinosaur and Godzilla vs. Megalon. Thanks. And on the quote side of the thread. From Space Mutiny (and from my memory): People used to compare this race with the chariot race from Ben Hur. They would say: Ben Hur was great and this one really sucks. ---
