MST3K is Back, Sort Of

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-no-asteroid-that's-a-battlestation dept.

Polar Star writes "Retrocrush reports that Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett are back making fun of crappy movies again in a new incarnation called The Film Crew. In the first of many new DVDs to be released, they take on a 1969 abomination called Hollywood After Dark which features a still-not-very-young Rue McClanahan as a down-on-her-luck actress who becomes a stripper. Needless to say, it's one of the scariest movies you'll ever see. There's plenty of funny jokes throughout, and they definitely prove themselves worthy of carrying on the MST3K tradition." Update 1925 GMT by SM: Corrected a few oversights and pointed to The Film Crew's actual website.

      "Get the gist of it from the summary? Me neither."

      MST3K = Mystery Science Theater 3000. Please go google it.

      Google is your friend.

    Satellite News is still up and running for anyone who liked MST3K. They have news on the Film Crew and Rifftrax (which is Mike Nelson and guests recording downloadable commentary tracks for various movies), as well as other things that the old Best Brains crew are up to. http://www.mst3kinfo.com/

    "in reference to a character who had died earlier in the movie but, for some reason, showed back up on the control room alive and well, working in another scene"

    The funniest part is that it was just "in another scene", it was in the very next scene after her death. If you watch the credits, they make fun of the person responsible for Continuity.

  4. What crap by JimboFBX · · Score: 4, Informative

    ok so the link on slashdot doesnt even go to the http://www.filmcrewonline.com/ website, but rather some dude's lame blog with lame ads. Oh, and I'm not even sure they even do this anymore, since they've been busy with RiffTrax, and their official website hasn't changed in a long time. What a terrible slashvertisement by man-in-the-middle proxy (go to my website to go to the real one).
