The Forum

I haven't been on the boards for a while. My life changed immensely this summer, and I will never be the same. I got involved with someone I was close to in high school, someone I had a huge aching crush on for the entire time. We reconnected 10 years after high school, and immediately were attached to each other.
Sometime in the early hours of Thursday morning, he passed away in his sleep on his couch. As of right now we don't know why, but no answer will make it any better. His best friend of 15 years who was living with him at the time was the o e that found him. As tragic as it is, he could help to take notice that he'd never looked more peaceful.
His life was difficult and hard, but he always smiled and was there to make sure you were smiling bigger. He brought so many people out of dark places, and touched so many lives. All of us closest to him have been reaching out to everyone we can think of to bring his friends together.
He was a fellow MSTie, though he wasn't a member of the forum. I'm glad i have many people to reach out to, including all of you here. I'm sorry this post is so OT, but I just need to reach out an let everyone I can know about the amazing light that filled my heart.

Put that thing back where it came from, or so so help me. SO HELP ME.

I was watching an old episode of Good Eats tonight, one about broccoli, and what do I see? Alton Brown talking about watching the Mystery Food Science Theater. Could this possibly be anything other than a reference to MST3K?

episodes:
Jungle Goddess, The Painted Hills, The Screaming Skull, Squirm

I assume this is an announcement for the next box set. Not bad, I was hoping for "The Incredible Melting Man" though.

I assume this is an announcement for Volume 31 box set.

There's no "Killer Shrew" here, but it still looks like a pretty tasty assortment.

So i had this idea that I have toyed with a long time in my head. Trying 2 bring it out 2 the light. This ON TOPIC & Off Topic: so we like 2 laugh, we love mst riffing & etc. Riff yourself.

I try 2 collect quotable quotes from people what they have said or have quoted me saying. Out of context? Funny 2 hilarious. I'll start ya off:

Okay, this is another post for those involved with the riff project.

Guys, I need you to head over to the NT project page when you can so we can decide on exactly what time on Sunday I should start up a tinychat for us to discuss the project and the NT riffs.

Lately I've been having a really hard time getting embedded videos from metacafe to play when I'm browsing on here and was wondering if that's a coding issue or what... because on some of them if you go to metacafe to view them then they work alright. Also youtube seems to have started this frankly obnoxious Recaptcha process because they don't get that A/V geeks who watch videos in marathons aren't the same thing as a spambot. /rant.

I hate the Robin Williams Popeye film. Its horridly bad. The musical numbers are horrible and repetetive, the characters are based off of sounds, so what does the film do? It gives the characters no extracurricular personalities. Heck, if the characters had no dialogue, Fran could play Olive Oil. It is extremely hard to sit through Popeye, and is one of the worst films I've seen.

There was some early sound trouble in the pre-show, but it was fixed in time for the main show. And WOW it was so much fun. I got major nostalgic warm fuzzies through the whole thing...And the Fathom Events ads included a plug for Rifftrax Godzilla, which was nice. Wikipedia has an entry on the whole show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python_Live_%28Mostly%29

Things make sense when yer all liquored up.

Werewolf End Credits Song vs. The Actual Songs "is genius".

This is probably going to happen:

ok- watching season 3 now, really enjoyed "Cave Dwellers", its like an old friend, but "Stranded in Space", a tv-pilot starring the original "Z", was not pleasant. Who did they think this would appeal to? "Italians? Germans?", well anyway, "Time of the Apes" is a little better, but not much...more to come later...

Would anyone else here love to see a parody of Shark Tank in which the contestant entrepreneurs, with a totally straight face, present pitches and working prototypes of various Invention Exchange inventions for consideration by the panel of VCs?

What IE invention would you pitch on Shark Tank, just for the sheer cheap laffs? For me, it's a toss-up between the BGC-19 and the Mind-Control Guitar.

So Pod People day. We need 2 plan 4 it. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas 4 what my cohort C@ts & I have decided should b Pod People Day (aka P2D or PPD your preference). I think we have decided we will do his in November so there is time 2 plan.

Any one have ideas on how we can celebrate? The only one I can think of is 2 change our names 2 a quote from the movie *since there is not 2,987 names of David Ryder like we did the last time :O)

What do u think Sirs? And Ma'ams?

So after watching the riff tracks for The Room I decided to pose this question to the forum. Who accent is worse Johnny from The Room or Natalie from Werewolf?

I thought I'd post here to let everybody know that me, Pika, Chicken, Jake and some others got a group chat up 24/7 for MSTies from the Club, on Skype. The chat room is open all the time for people to come and go, but we'd appreciate some more of our friends there to liven things up a little. It gets pretty quiet most of the time. :)

What is it about the word mayonnaise? It got me focusing on riffs about it.

"That's the breaded thing with the mayonnaise, right?"

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

OT but very funny Kim Jong Un mashup created by a Chinese animator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUgEmezpS_E

Just saw this on the fuckyeahmst3k tumblr. Cool MST3K shirts for $9.99 with free shipping from Pop Up Tee. I just ordered one because I have few shirts and even fewer dollars. Hurry before hipsters buy them all!

Roger Ebert is my idol. I wanna be a film critic just like him. I don't have to be famous, i just have to have it as my job

so I'm watching season 2 and suffering through some of the less exciting episodes and I decide to take a break from my summer of '14 thon, and put in a movie called "Prometheus" 2012 Riddly Scott---OMG what a bad movie, it had me BEGGING for Ross Hagen, wishing for Richard Baseheart, dying for Francis Coleman--I couldn't watch certain mst3k's before, like "...Fumanchu", "...lover's lane", or "kitten...whip", but now I've been to the inner circle of bad movies, and I know who I am now, and my place in the universe. I suppose I should thank them...it's amazing how relative everything is...

I generally try to keep my post here focused on MST3K and Psychotronic movies, but I have to make an exception in this case.

Last night, just before midnight, my Uncle Jerry passed away. I could list a series of adjectives in a vain attempt to share his character and integrity, but even those words would fail to give the true measure of the man. As clichéd as it may sound, he was the greatest man I ever knew, or ever will know.

In Vietnam as a Seabee, he spent his off time building and repairing orphanages (“We know you are a man we can rely on,” a nun he had never met in the middle of nowhere Nam told him). After my father’s suicide, he and his wife gave me the moral support and guidance my borderline/addict mother could not or would not give. As I battled my own demons, a fight that is still going on with a turning tide, Jerry always stood by me and had faith I would find a path out of the darkness. He built beautiful furniture, and gave it away without taking a cent because his joy came in sharing his work.

If a role model is a person of character to live up too, I have a very tall order. I fall short of his example on a daily basis. But I know what I am trying to be and I see the path Uncle Jerry blazed for me. One day, if someone says, “you remind me of Jerry Rodgers,” I know there is no higher compliment I could receive.

Good bye Uncle Jerry. Thank you for your love, your kindness, your generosity and your example. I hope to honor your life by reaching for the standard you set. And when I fall short, I know it isn’t a failure. It is another chance to try again.

Many of the experiments' films had misleading titles, including:

"It Conquered The World" - Did not.
"The Indestructible Man" - Wasn't.
"The Dead Talk Back" - Not in this movie.

What have you got?
