Since I’m nefariously getting my mother hooked on MST3K (after the series is over, of course…why should my family’s reaction time to this cultural phenomenon be any different than usual?), I did a mini-Turkey-Day single-film-not-unusually-festive-festival and gave her a choice of “the really, really bad movie” or “the just-kind-of-stupid movie”. She picked just-kind-of-stupid, so we watched Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders. The “really, really bad movie,” which is, incidentally, Manos, will be played on Saturday morning in lieu of the normal and scheduled-to-be-absent showing of MST3K.
Is it wrong to want a loved one to experience the pain of Manos? BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!
No, not really.
I love the Merlin one! “See, that’s his problem-he’s walking around, dressed like that and asking women, ‘Have you seen my little monkey?’.”
::giggles:: Yep, it’s the best Christmas carol of all time …
“It’s my way or the highway, this Christmas at my ba-a-ar
I’ll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car.”
I found an audio file of it last year on a fansite. I’ll have to see if I can track it down again.
“OK, look alive everyone. Oooh, sorry, Susan.” Damn, I think that was the absolute worst editing I’ve ever seen in a movie. Well, it might be tied with that scene in “Girl in Gold Boots” where the guy suddenly appeared at the table from out of nowhere. (“Hey c’mon, I just teleported here. That’s pretty impressive!”)
Yeah, those are great. I think my favorite short of all time has to be … actually it’s a tie. I hurt myself laughing during “Mr. B. Natural” a few years ago, and the recent Gumby short shown before “The Screaming Skull” was hysterical.
I also loved the MiSTing of “The Screaming Skull.”
“It’s like they have two servings of tension that they’re trying to stretch out for seven people.”
“Umm, can we help you, movie lady? Do you need a push or something?”
Some episodes are better than others, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ep I didn’t like.
