Mike Nelson was the best
Everything since then was trying too hard to emulate him
I was excited to hear about the MST3K revival UNTIL I found out that the guy who was Jon Stewart’s head writer on “The Daily Show” will be the head writer on the new MST3K.
If that is the case, its not a matter of if but WHEN the show will go full bore Social Justice Warrior.
All the “jokes” on MST3k will be comments like “haha this movie is sooooooooo sexist! haha this movie is soooooooooo racist!! haha this movie is sooooo homophobic!!!” etc. etc.
Not interested.
PING!
I rented a MST3K VCR tape years ago on THIS ISLAND EARTH. What a disappointment. Most of the important parts of the movie were cut out so the robots could make jokes and deal with their captors.
To finally see the uncut movie I had to buy it on DVD. A very good movie.
Some of their spoofs are great. Others just get in the way of a good movie.
Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt ruin the new version. THey’re both way too convinced of their “celebrity” and neither’s mugging is as entertaining as (s)he believes it to be.
Will be watching this weekend. Looking forward to it.
So they don’t roast the Clint Eastwood movie The Gauntlet?
