Heh. I kind of love Chuck's early seventies Science Fiction movies
People look at me funny when I try to explain about the beauty that can be bad movies. But then I love(d) MST3K. When they had their Turkey Day Thanksgiving marathons...
Hermanos! The devil has built a robot!
Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Doncha ever just burst into song
Oh, yeah totally. Sometimes at work. Luckily my co-workers are like-minded. Now if I can only get a professional dance troupe to stalk me mercilessly, ready to strike, I could complete song with poorly executed impromptu dance moves*. Hmm, I'll go check Craigslist...

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Hey, did you know several of the MST folk are doing audio commentaries that you can download and synch up with a DVD? They're calling them Rifftrax, and I saw 300 with Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett doing the commentary and OMG was it funny! Pretty much the only way I'd have willingly watched 300 again.
Different groups of MST folk do different ones, and several are just Mike (including ROAD HOUSE - if ever there should have been a group commentary...).
Strangely enough, today is also Mike Nelson's birthday.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
More on Warner Bros.' decision to downgrade women's roles in their films. ION, I love Nikki Finke, and I'm not going to see any more WB films for a while, I guess.
A quote:
Sources inside Warner's tell me that, 1) Robinov doesn't believe there's an actress who can carry a movie worldwide since Julia Roberts, 2) Robinov has now gone so far as admitting to his studio colleagues that the decree I reported was made when he was "in the room", 2) Robinov is acknowledging that the studio is reassessing the strategy of making action pictures starring women, 3) Robinov was inundated with calls on Monday and Tuesday from media and Hollywood types asking him about my posting, 4) Robinov has three pics currently in production and six in pre-production and not one stars a women as the main lead of the film, and 5) he's nixed Wonder Woman as a stand-alone film, downgrading her to just one of four superhero characters in the proposed Justice League, and, 6) Robinov will only make Wonder Woman as a spin-off of Justice League, about four superheroes including Wonder Woman. But his proviso is that JL would have to do really, really boffo to justify having a female star-driven pic.
