How bizarre, I just finished with watching “Hercules vs. the Moon Men” (a so-so episode) and then I see this.
From a chicken in every pot to pot for every chicken.
Two favorites lines from MST:
“Canada; our mortal enemy” and
“OMG...it’s a cult and they worship blue oysters!”
Loved that show and hated the SciFi Channel [or “SyFy” for those who were too stupid to pronounce the original name] when they canceled it.

A taste
These guys are still active, bumped into a post here a month ago - videos listed under Rifftrax.
This is the posse led by former head writer and host Mike Nelson. Freepers may be pleased to know that I read in an interview once that he (and his wife, a MST3K writer) are very conservative.
It is all over Florida. I could find about 9 theaters close to me!
OMG..Reefer Madness...in 1975 I was elected President of my Sophomore High School Class. For our main fundraiser we decided to show REEFER MADNESS. To promote the movie, some of my friends made posters with things like Bloodshot eyes, smoke coming out of someone’s mouth, etc. We never actually said the name of the movie, but we put “COME SATURDAY NIGHT” on all the posters. Good, huh? Oh no...
So, the day before we were going to announce what it actually was, all the posters were taken down. Apparently, one of the lunch ladies thought we were promoting a POT PARTY at someone’s house and told the principal who had all the posters taken down. Hence, the fundraiser was a disaster and being the 1970’s, talk of impeachment came up. Yes, they tried to impeach me!!! LOL! It’s so funny now. I was not impeached, but it wasn’t one of my finest moments.
I’ve been thinking about this lately because I’m thinking of running for office in 2012. I think this would be a fun story to tell people!!! What’s the lesson? Even if you have a great marketing plan, make sure you run it by the right authorities!
When I saw it the theater was chokingly redolent of and hazy with illicit smoke.
They want to legalize marijuana, and therefore want a propaganda film to show how ridiculous the opposition of it is.
I’ve got my ticket. Can’t wait for the show. Last year they did Plan 9, and it was hilarious.
“From the moment she woke up she had a craving for Doritos which don’t exist yet.”
I rented one of the RiffTrax discs (don’t recall which one, it was one of the early releases they had) and didn’t find it as funny as their earlier work. It seemed a lot more strained.
Any recommended titles that I should seek out?
I have my ticket for tomorrow night, but I’ll also mention Joel’s Cinematic Titanic. They have released a few DVDs, and their live shows are great.
