It's official, people. We have new movie sign.

Here's my first impressions: The visuals, like those in the movies, are a weird mesh of perfection and cheesy awkwardness. It's a weird effect, but it works.

The lead-in to the classic theme is awesome.

Getting used to the new voices for the 'bots and Felicia Day [who, while a good actress]. will take some getting used to.

The riffing is hit-or-miss, but when it hits, it really hits.

So far, this revival season has real potential.

I watched most of the first episode. It seems ok. It gets the "feel" of MST 3 K right, which I guess is the most important part.

It's weird having a woman voice Gypsy.

I'm halfway through season 11, and so far I think it's every bit as good as the old show. "Cry Wilderness" and "Avalanche" might be my new favorites.

I didn't write any of that.

Cry Wilderness is just, transcendentally awful. I don't understand how it's even possible.

I think the revival is fairly good (only seen the first two episodes though). It's not perfect, I wish things were done a certain way, but it could be worse.

The one complaint that most fans have made that I do agree with is the constant Lull Distraction where literally it's riff after riff after riff, with barely any quiet spots (except when characters in the film are talking).

On one hand, it means more jokes to catch on later viewings, but at the same time it also means a lot of duds.

If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

Also means more hits. It's not like the original MST 3 K didn't have episodes without good jokes.
