Wendi Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I mentioned MST3K in the Netflix thread. Dh and I had seen a few of these a long time ago, and we've recently been watching some with 12yo ds. There are a few innuendos in some of them, but overall they've been okay with us for our ds. My recent favorite was "The Giant Gila Monster", while ds loved "Santa Claus vs. the Martians". Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.MacGyver Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 LOVE THEM!!! Funny you brought it up because we just put the MST3000 movie in our Netflix cue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Oh, me! MST is actually my cheering-up therapy--if I've had a really bad day, it's MST I want to watch. We have the whole run on dh's computer and can watch it whenever we want. Fugitive Alien might be my favorite, but there are so many good ones.... Have you other misties tried Rifftrax? Great stuff! (Mike and two bots riff on newer blockbusters. You rent the movie and download the riff file, play together, and enjoy.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I watched a few here and there and recently attended the Rifftrax live show that was simulcast nationwide. They did "Plan 9 from outer space". It was hilarious. They had clip from "Twilight" on their website, it was equally as hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recent favorite was "The Giant Gila Monster", while ds loved "Santa Claus vs. the Martians". Wendi YES! My kids and I love them (DH, not so much). I've been a fan since I was in high school, and have tons of VHS tapes that I recorded off of Comedy Central. I have too many favorites to name, but "Eegah" will always be one of my favorites, and of course the Gamera movies. :lol: Did you know Joel, Trace, Frank, Mary Jo and J. Elvis are back together and performing live (and on DVD) as Cinematic Titanic? We saw them last March, it was hilarious! They did an old movie called "Blood of the Vampires". I was a little worried when they announced the title of the movie (they didn't let you know ahead of time what movie it was going to be) but of course, the movie was so bad it wasn't scary for my oldest DD at all :lol: (DD and I went by ourselves). And it was even more hilarious seeing them do it live. We also got to meet them after the show, and they are all so nice. I even got my original MST3K membership card signed. Here's their website: www.cinematictitanic.com . Most of the movies are pretty kid-friendly, but you might want to pre-screen them...they do a couple of (crappy) 60s and 70s horror movies, and the jokes are also a little more risque than MST3K, with a bit more swearing. Mike, Kevin, and Bill are doing Rifftrax, where they make fun of newer movies (www.rifftrax.com). I don't want to pick favorites, but I prefer Cinematic Titanic, because they stick with the really bad older movies. :)Although the Rifftrax versions of Cocktail and Roadhouse are hilarious (not so kid-friendly though, because of the movies.)

RegularMom Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Oh yes! I've always loved MST3K! Back in college, I used to stay up way late just to watch it on Friday nights. It was on from midnight to 2:00 am. I've got quite a few I taped off cable around here somewhere. One of my favorites was Double 007, starring Sean Connery's brother, Roger, or something. And then there was that one with the spaceships that looked like granola -- can't quite remember the name of it. I just remember that little scene where you see those granola ships flying through space and Crow said: "here they come" and Tom Servo said: "prepare the milk!" Now I'm off to look into Cinematic Titanic. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 We love them. Dh took our 2 oldest to see the "live" simulcast (whatever) movie at the theatre and they said it was awesome. lol Prince of Space is a favorite here, as well as The Killer Shrews, both from season 7. We also love Riff Trax, by Mike Nelson and the gang. Just download and play along to the movie they are riffing. lol They have some movies that you can download with the Riff Trax commentary already recorded over top--the Twilight movie is FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!!

Lilymax Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Wow, thanks for sharing about Rifftrax! I had no idea they were still doing stuff like that. Checked out the site and can't wait to download some of those! My sister, DH and I are huge MST3K fans! They are my "go to" therapy for bad days, too. Too many favorites to list, though "The Giant Gila Monster" will always be near the top because it was one of the first ones I ever saw. We also loved "Manos: The Hands of Fate." Sometimes I think people think my sister and I have our own language because we're always throwing out lines from favorite episodes when they fit our current life situation. Example: from the "Johnny at the Fair" short...whenever I've complained about this pregnancy, my sister says "Did I tell you to have this baby?" in the same tone as from the MSTie clip. Another favorite line is "They just didn't care!" from "Attack of the Eye Creatures". Joel and the bots show this segment of clips that show how you can see the zippers on the Eye Creatures' costumes in different scenes, and then all of them together go "They just didn't care!" Maybe we take it too far? :lol: NAAAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) We all love them here. We have this on a CD and laugh hysterically every time we hear it. We quote from Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders and Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. Our favorite from the latter is: Movie: "Hold on to these polls. They're magnetized." Crow: "And if your hands were made of metal, that would mean something." And Tom Servo's line right at the beginning of this clip.

elegantlion Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Okay, now I have a question. Which of these are child friendly? My ds would probably love them, but I haven't seen enough to determine. We were doing our own voice over to Fellowship of the Ring the other night. My dh thought we were insane. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I mentioned MST3K in the Netflix thread. . Wendi I saw it once, years and years ago, at a motel. Couldn't sleep I laughed so much. I forgot about it until you mentioned it. I thought it was some local show in Arizona, or where ever I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I felt that the show just went to heck in a hand basket after Joel left. Prior to that, we were huge fans and we actually have shown our children a lot of the "shorts" on Youtube. They really like the "posture pals" one;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 We love "Posture Pals"!! There's another one about hygiene that's hilarious. One of our often-quoted lines: "Remember, people like you better if you're pretty." Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 My xh and I used to watch them! Loved them. I bet my sons would love them. I should give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
