The best of the MST3Ks are those that spoof movies that are legitimately trying to be good
Then there are the ones that deserve to be spoofed
Finally are the ones so bad that not even being spoofed can save them
"I did watch it and was not disappointed. They tried very hard to make sure that the Norwegian facility matched what we saw at the beginning of the 1982 movie. They dovetail perfectly."
"I'm not a big fan of MST3K. If I've never seen a movie before, I want to see it without distractions and be able to hear the dialog. Watching Track of the Moon Beast did drag a little along the way, but at least I saw the movie the way it was…"
" I was never in any danger of dying that I know, but I instinctively understood that COVID was trying to kill me.For some reason, this made me think of this line from Throw Momma from the Train: "I dreamt Louis Armstrong was trying to kill me!""
"the switch on the back of their necks that allowed them to take orders from new masters
It's like the "blow up the castle" lever in Bride of Frankenstein. what was it for?"
"Now that I think of it, that nonsense from the movie about Sherlock Holmes being an "ancestor" of Spock's was left out of the novelization. (And don't tell me he may have been referring to Arthur Conan Doyle because Doyle died childless.) I like to…"
"We watched the MST3K version tonight. I liked it, but Tracy said: "Boring movie, bad jokes." She did end up laughing out loud several times, though. This is the kind of movie that it saved by MST3K. It would have been deadly dull to watch otherwise."
"Superman discovers Metalo's underground lair, and saves Lois. Metalo makes off with Lois and reveals his identity.
So, Supes saves Lois, but then lets Metalo make off with her? Sounds careless."
"It's been years since I read this novelization, but I seem to remember that when Sulu says "San Francisco - I was born there" (which is in the movie), McIntyre has one of the other characters question him on it, saying something like, "I thought you…"
HI, I think I have unboxed you but...I am coming to the end of my `INVADERS` thread and would like to do a similar issue-by-issue critique of the Avengers - but not wanting to step on your "Baron 're-reads" early Avengers thread - I was thinking of beginning from #150 -? Would that be okay with you?
Hi Mr Baron sir,
I was wondering - I have just about 'caught-up' with my 'INVADERS' thread - going issue by issue through their history - and I'm scrambling looking for another series with which to critique in the same vein.
I am very aware of your 're-reads' and the recent 'Avengers' issues you've covered.
Unless you have any great desire to do so yourself or any objection at all -- I would like to take up the Avengers as a series from about #150 onwards...?
I reckon by then the earliest stuff - Kaps Kooky Quartet - Vision - Squadron supreme - KreeSkrull war - Avengers-Defenders war - even the Celestial madonna stuff is all over and the team and the title kind of entered a new phase that I'd love to pick up from.
If you DID intend on covering those issues etc I would of course quite happily go find some other series to wax lyrical about.
I do think the 'early Avengers' and this later phase could even run alongside quite easily as threads?
I don't mind. I usually tell people it's proncounced marconnay. When explaining it to people I tell them it's mark an A, like when you tell your teacher to "Mark an A on your test"

Anyway, how would you feel?
Please be candid.

Gah! So much Tartan!
Anyway, this time-wasting web page mentions two of your favourite things, so I thought I'd share.
