The General MST3K Thread

Because there isn't one on here.

What was everyone's favorite episodes? I liked Warrior of the Lost World, the one movie with the host segments about waffles (I think it was one of the Hercules ones), the Gamera movies, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Mitchell, Final Sacrifice and Space Mutiny.

I liked Space Mutiny and Manos, maybe especially Manos, since making that movie at all watchable is an achievement, but the Many Names of Reb Brown from Space Mutiny was all manners of hilarious too.

I love Godzilla Vs. Megalon, and Soultaker.

Is Rifftrax allowed? I grabbed the Transformers 2 one, it's funny as all hell.

Movies that I wish MS T3k could've been done, Gymkata, the third Ninja Master movie, and The Killing of Satan (Think a Filipino Rowsdower fighting Satan).

Watching Prince of Space and Invasion of the Neptune Men back to back was one of my favorite moments. Prince of Space is an incredibly cheesy Japanese extraterrestrial invasion movie, whose villain (who Mike and the bots called "Krankor" despite the fact it was actually the name of his home planet) has the most forced laugh ever. Invasion of the Neptune Men, however, makes Prince of Space look like cinema gold. This point was driven home when an actor portraying Krankor made an appearance, was hailed as a "voice of reason," and wound up giving Mike a friendly hug.

For me, it's Morozko/Jack Frost. The movie is already the best AdaptationExpansion of a fairy tale I can recall seeing outside of Disney. Mike & the Bots riffing the inherent goofiness of the whole thing at the top of their game just makes the already decent movie much better.

I've only seen a few, but utterly loved Attack Of The The Eye Creatures. Wow. Also, Overdrawn At The Memory Bank.

On a related note, the MST 3 K Love Theme. I've been looking around for a sheet music version of it (y'know, so that I can play it and be awesome), but can't seem to find one anywhere on the entire Internet. Does it just not exist, or is it really well hidden?

Regarding the Love Theme: are you talking about the end credits theme? I have no idea where, but there is a video on Youtube of someone playing it on keyboard...

Also, this is awesome.

^ The Love Theme is the opening theme. The end credits theme is "Mighty Science Theater".

Oh yeah, that's the title on the soundtrack C Ds they sold...I wish they would reprint them because I'd love to have relatively high quality versions of the theme songs (especially the Joel era one)

My favorite episodes are probably Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Gamera vs. Zigra, and Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. Rock n' roll Martian!

Just watched Night Of The Blood Beast for the first time since I was a wee one. Bloody hilarious; I especially loved all the jokes about how the film portrays NASA consisting entirely of five people. All named Steve.

Also, Turkey Day host segments! Mr B Natural cameo! Yes!

The "Waffles" episode was Viking Women vs. the Sea Serpent. I love the Poopie clip with Joel deliberately sabotaging his one-word line in the host segment.

Joel: Pancakes! Oops! I'm sorry, I screwed up!

RE: the Russian fantasy films. I loved these, they're so crazy! I highly recommend seeing some of the ones they didn't do (Ruscico reissued most of them—except for Sampo, which they presumably didn't have the rights for—on DVD some years back in remastered editions). In ascending order of weirdness, I recommend Ruslan & Lyudmila, The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors, (Maria,) The Magic Weaver and Through Fire, Water and Brass Pipes. The last reunites the two leads from Morozko/Jack Frost and is so bizarre it's confusing even with subtitles.

I'm watching The Skydivers and it's the opening skit, where we see where Ryan Murphy got his inspiration for Glee from, right after seeing satellite pictures of Uranus... I can't wait to see the movie (again). It just can't top Niiiight Traaaain To Mundo Fiiiiiineeeee...

Night train, to the eeeeeeeeeend!

And what about Flag on the moon. How did it get there?

What, no love for Hobgoblins? "Slutting's fun, isn't it?"

I can't imagine what the writters went thourgh, watching each movie 8-9 times a week. Some of those movies where painful to watch with the riffing, never mind raw.

Oh, yeah. I remember that one... Can we have a law that in the future ''films'' have to be made by '''filmmakers'''?

So now I've watched Warrior Of The Lost World and The Corpse Vanishes.

I actually didn't have high expectations for Corpse, since it was from before the show grew the beard, but it was still a pretty solid episode.

Warrior was great. I liked how Joel and the 'bots pointed out why the protagonist was completely lacking in both appeal and redeeming qualities, and how they latched onto Megaweapon as the real hero of the film. And I was nearly in tears over the Overly Long Gag in the credits about the various prog bands that did the film's music.

I liked the Jimmy Carter guy in Warrior. Something about how there's a guy that looks like Jimmy Carter after the apocalypse.

Plus, you got to admit, the apocalypse seems nice on the plant life.

"Once you get past the terrible loss of human life, a guy could get a lot of stuff done!"

SPIIIIDER! SPIIIIIDER! SPIIIIIDER!

Godzilla vs Megalon for me. He mother really never love him.

Pumaman was always my favorite. "Poo. maman. he flies like a moron!"
