I'd not heard that about Clonus, then again I don't know how many Milwaukee references I'd catch. I'm off to YouTube, I suppose. Also, the United Servo Academy Men's Chorus Hymn from "The Starfighters" is double-plus awesome. That movie is terrible though. Unwatchable, really. It doesn't even have a plot. Manos had a plot. Monster a-Go-Go had several fragments of plots. The Starfighters has nothing. It's like a sponsored film for the Air Force.

The Starfighters did one thing, now when ever I see a Pilot on the news I automatically think of the term poopiesuit.

I must say that I've actually used that term - a useful substitute instead of merely 'poop' or 'poopie'. 'Milwaukee beer', priceless... We were busy having a day off in the dells, somebody then stole DrT's keyboard! .
Someone's little brother's Casio keyboard? (By the way, the Dells is highly awesome). Monster a-Go-Go had several fragments of plots. It did? Where were they hiding? That movie is terrible though. Unwatchable, really. It doesn't even have a plot. Are you serious?! It had refueling. Juicy, non-stop refueling. Also some refueling.

So, I'm watching my new 20th Anniversary Set, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Maybe it's because half of them are from the Bill Corbett, or "AntiBeaulieu," era. Maybe it's because they've got previews for other shit before the menu. Also, they screwed up the chapters so host segments are no longer in own chapters.
At least Werewolf is as good as Space Mutiny, but I can't help but feel there are better episodes than Future War
I don't know, I'm pretty happy with my version. Maybe it's just because I prefer the later seasons, I don't know. At least the promotions are only mandatory on the first DVD. I would have liked to see Hobgoblins or the Legend of Boggy Creek II or Invasion of the Neptune Man or Puma Man or Squirm as well. CUT THE SLACK, DVD EDITORS.

Watched most of Escape 2000 last night. Ahh, Toblerone, Trash, and.. the other one. Strike. "This is Dolby Stereo reminding you to leave the Bronx" "The Bronx is something which I should have left."

I just saw Outlaw for the first time a few days ago and I'm suprised I didn't see it earlier considering how good it was.
"Day Five: missed call. After four days of shooting, finally got script today and guess what? I'm not playing Thomas Aquinas. I'm supposed to be some kind of freakin' wizard."
Also, gotta love the song.

"My name is Pleasence and I am funky."
yeesh, what a terrible superhero he was. he couldn't even succeed at kicking a couple of minions' asses, he needed his aztec sidekick to do most of the work! i love the horrible flying scenes in that movie, though, especially because pumas have the power of flight and all. i'd have to say that my favorite episode is either THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN or fugitive alien (mostly for the characters - ken, the main character who's basically really strong and... uh.... that's it, ththe captain, who's apparently bipolar, that girl who has an unrequited crush on everyone, then there's rocky, who apparently is so skeptical of ken the alien that he tries to run him over with a forklift, dan the pilot who i only remember because he's a japanese man with disco hair and gets tortured for some reason, then there's the crewmember who looks like a japanese adam sandler, and there are also a couple of redshirtswho don't even die! what the hell! also there are at least 2 more people named ken who all appear in the same scene shouting "KEN!!!!") anyone know of a place where i can buy recorded MST3K episodes? i used to know this guy through ebay who would sell DVDs at $3 an episode, but he's stopped selling them. I'd not heard that about Clonus, then again I don't know how many Milwaukee references I'd catch. I'm off to YouTube, I suppose.

yeah, wasn't the only stuff that happened in the starfighters refueling, a plane crashed in a storm and they had to take off in a goofy helicopter to look for the pilot (and this new conflict was started and resolved within 5 minutes, and the crash was never shown), and robert dornan's creepy dad calling him all the time? definitely the worst movie ever.

I don't know. It was so forgettable, I've forgotten what didn't happen. War of the Colossal Beast is a good one too. Better than Amazing Colossal Man in my opinion.
I just saw Outlaw for the first time a few days ago too. Awesome.

Fugitive Alien is a classic, one of the best redubbed Japanese Films of the Seventies. Even better than the Godzilla ones which never really grab me for some reason.
What I love about Outlaw is sometimes you can actually see Palance constantly regretting being in the flop.
Heh, anyone remember the one which co-starred James Earl Jones in? Intercity something something?

You mean City Limits, I think that was it? The one with Kim Cattrall and some guy who gets killed by a desk. I really want to watch some ones that I haven't seen for such a long time... like, say, San Francisco International, Warrior of the Lost World, I don't know.. the Coleman Francis ones... and that secret-agent one with the Lovejoy guy. Also that other secret agent one, the James Bond ripoff with Sean Connery's brother. Oh and I figured out that I had seen most of Clonus. (I only remembered the lobotimized clone at the end). (Ooh, Drama). Also: i love the horrible flying scenes in that movie, though, especially because pumas have the power of flight and all. "I hate to be picky, but pumas aren't really known for flying."

I found it hilarious they were throwing all ways to pronounce Puma left and right in that movie.
Ah, City Limits. I fondly Joel cheesily trying to hide the lady nudity from everyone with a umbrella. That and the Henchman to the Desk guy getting owned by a RC Aeroplane.

Outlaw of Gor is a very amusing one, even taking it at face value. It's based on an obscenely misogynistic book series with a dedicated group of obsessives who actually try to live the lifestyle described! Good fun! I am also barely even kidding when I say that I would watch Operation Double 007 without commentary. That movie rocks all kind of Rosa Klebbs! Incidentally, when they occasionally do the "Does this bug you? Huh? Does this bug you? I'm not touching you!" riff, what are they specifically referring to? A Christmas Story? Our Gang? IT. IS. KILLING. ME. WITH. SUSPENSE.

I think it's just a riff on the "I'm not touching you" thing that kids do, in general rather than a reference to a specific movie.

It turns out Bill Corbett's pretty funny. Why does he play Crow so terribly? Brain Guy was terrible too. Shout Factory is also on my shit list for screwing up the 20th AE DVDs

I don't mind Bills Crow or Brain Guy. I'm still amused with the whole I HATE TOM SERVOS NEW VOICE banner tale from the guide.

I was reflecting on the Bill Corbett as Crow thing while mowing the lawn during the time when I should have been sleeping. Here's how my problem boils down. First, and I don't blame Bill for this, is that the character changed when the show was picked up by SciFi. I don't doubt his obnoxiously frequent confusion about who or what he was and his instructional segments were derived from a note from SciFi execs that said, "Increase Crow's wackiness by at least 25%. Consider adding terribly annoying quirk, maybe two." Second, Trace Beaulieu's emotional range was much more varied than Bill Corbett's. Bill's Crow had two gears, annoyed and angrily annoyed, with occasional sparks of something else. The same could be said about Weinstein as Servo. That banner story does kick ass though.

Brain Guy was terrible too. But then they settled into the castle and I realized "dang, this ape/brain guy/Pearl setup sucks". The mad scientists were way better. Completely agree. I know I've said this before, but the show just really lost something to me once it moved to the Sci-Fi channel. Pearl became obnoxious, I never got into the ape/Brain Guy storyline and the loss of Dr. Forrester was a huge blow. It kind of became unnecessarily labored and convoluted, in my view. Bill's Crow had two gears, annoyed and angrily annoyed, with occasional sparks of something else. Reminds me somehowly of " dull surprise". Oh, except for there weren't really any sparks of 'something else'. I was reflecting on the Bill Corbett as Crow thing while mowing the lawn during the time when I should have been sleeping. Well, and I'm posting this when I probably should be sleeping, so there you go.
