    I know that movie is considered bad, but is it worse than Battlefield Earth?

    Hell, I'd like to see what they'd do to a move we've all see a zillion times (and probably made fun of already!) -- Star Wars (episode 1 would be great!), Titanic, Gladiator, Fight Club..

    The so-called good movies can be just as fun to ridicule as the really bad ones!

    If you liked MST3K when it was running, you should check out Edward The Less, an "online series" with the same writers and actors.
    You should also check in on this MST3K tape-trading site from time-to-time. It's still under construction, but it'll be cool when they finish it.

    Anyone else notice how many of the IMDB's 100 Worst Films have been on MST3K? Of course many of them are probably there because MST3K has gotten the required 20 people to watch them. Manos: the Hands of Fate is #2 ;)

  5. Oh yes! The only thing better... by RyanFenton · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The only thing I can think of that might be better would be "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians"!

    Joel: Oh, and would you like for Christmas, little crow?

    Crow: I want to decide who lives and who dies!

    Joel: Oh, I don't know...

    I was always proud when going to high school that I was learning in the same class room that Joel Hodgeson was in. Unfortunatly, none of the local cable networks recieved the Comedy Channel/Comedy Central, so no one even knew what the show was. Good 'ol sleepy eyed Joel.

  6. MST3k LIve! Well, maybe not.... by EvilJohn · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For those of you who live in or near Austin Texas, a local comedy group, Mr. Sinus Theater 3000, does live MSTk 3000 type of shows at the legendary Alamo Drafthouse. I reccomend the shows highly. They did Footloose, renacting the horrible Chicken-Tractor scene at halftime, using tricycles instead. I nearly passed out, but that could have been the beer.

    To Quote the theme song: "We show movies live, not on TV, we show films with nudity..."

    The MST3K tapes are released on Rhino's own label. If you buy direct, a larger percentage of the ca$h goes to the people who find MST3K worthy of committing to DVD, with the likely result that MST3K releases will come with more frequency.

    Buying through another retailer adds several middlemen to the process. Of course, it's fine to support the local Mom Pop (even encouraged), but Rhino ain't evil. I remember when all they had on their label was retro-rock and "outsider" culture releases like Fred Blassie's "King Of Men."
