I got a GC to Best Buy, and they have Volume 8 of the series. I was watching them yesterday, and have to wonder, who the hell read these scripts and said, "Yeah! This movie will be awesome!"???

This volume has "Hobgoblins" which was so bad, it took me two times to get all the way through it. "The Phantom Planet" which isn't too bad. "Monster A-Go-Go" where you actually hear someone make a telephone ring noise with their mouth, and "The Dead Talk Back" which has got to be the worst acting I've ever seen. The Dead Can Act Better should be the title. <wg>

I know there are 8 volumes, but can't you also buy some DVD's indivually?
 
I still loved the movie, where they slammed 'This Island Earth'. My favorite by far.
 
Sci-Fi flicks have always been popular...that's why movie companies crank them out. Or at least they used to crank them out. People will see them and bitch later about how shitty they were. Won't bring your money back.

C'mon...admit it. How many of you went to see the Fantastic Four movie? ;)
 
Missed the FF movie. I would have watched it on the plane, but it was only playing on transcontinental flights.

Oh, I did. And longed to have Joel Hodgsen sitting next to me. <g>

I'm a Joel fan, rather than a Mike fan. Joel was more deadpan, so his comments would just come out of nowhere. Not that Mike isn't funny, but I gotta have my Joel fix every once in a while. :)

You used to be able to... now they're stuck in those $60.00 volumes. I would say that they are worth it, if nothing else to help support the kids that made the show.

I've been a fan since '83, BTW, so I feel you talking about wanting to have Joel with you when you watch a crap movie.

The place to go for MST3K is eBay, there are fellas out there that sell every episode in one form or another. Cool thing is they don't sell episodes that are on sale by Rhino or Best Brains, and if a new set comes out, they stop distributing those episodes.
 
^I bought the Essentials volume off of Amazon for about $15, and they had more. The only expensive one is the MST3K movie, which goes for $219!!!! Sheesh...I can see it for free on my IFC. <g>

A friend had a GC to best buy when we were out shopping Friday, and I couldn't go there with her and not buy something, so I got Volume 8, which has Hercule's Unchained, Hercules & the Moon Men, Prince of Space, and The Killer Shrews. Watched the first two, and part of POS...I have a feeling Shrews may take a lot of watching to get through. :)
 
Prince of Space is seriously one of my favs... the final host segment gets me every time, and pretty much every line in the film, too.

"Each of you will enter a space capsule..."

"What?" "What's that?"

Tom: kriminy... AHEM, EACH OF YOU WILL ENTER A SPACE CAPSULE!!!
 
^Just two? Well hells bells, man. <g>

Well, one that you have got to see is "Manos: Hands of Fate," which is considered to be one of the worst movies of all time.

For your second viewing pleasure..."Mitchell" is pretty damned funny. But then, so is "Santa Clause versus the Martians"...I think that's right. I'm running on no sleep, so forgive me if I get the title wrong.
 
^^They did an article on "Manos: The Hands of Fate" in Entertainment Weekly just recently. Do you realize that "Manos" translates to "hands"? So the movie is titled "Hands: The Hands of Fate". Too funny. Yep that's widely considered the worst film of all time.
 
Manos the hands of fate is fuckin' rad, as is Mitchell and Santa vs. the Martians.

My favorite, and my spouses favorite as well, is:

SPACE MUTINY

From this movie comes such epic lines as, "Well, sir, I think it's very good of you to give that dead woman another chance," and, "It seems we are not all in agreement... (I disagree!!!)"

The space battle scenes are recycled Battlestar Galactica shots. The protagonist is a huge humunculous body builder. The love interest is about 50 years old, but you're not supposed to notice. The captain of the starship looks like Santa. The first mate looks like Billy Idol (really!).

Ahh... one last quote:

"Yeah, a lot of people compare this chase scene to the climactic chariot race from Ben Her..."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, they usually say, Ben Her was really great. This movie totally sucks..."
