Word Association ... ~ Deep ~

Hey all...

Haven't been around much. Getting things in order for the move. I'm driving to New York tomorrow morning to sign off on the visa and collect some additional paperwork. I gave my cousins a call this afternoon, and they will be getting the apartment in order, so me and the dogs can move right in. We won't be leaving until around the second week in February, which gives me enough time to hold a 'fire sale', and get rid of things I won't be taking with me. It should also provide ample time for making the round of obligatory farewell parties here...

Well, all auditions for the Drowsy Chaperone are over and the cast list is out, and.....I got the role I wanted! I got the role of Mr. Feldzieg, the producer, whom lost his leading lady and is being threatened by gangsters to get her back in the show or he will get shot.

Word Association....... clone

Great seeing everybody in chat for Death S. Talker tonight.
And now, for my Lulz At Bedtime: RiffTrax, Plan 9 From Outer Space.

This looks like a rejected Invention Exchange. Seriously, Joel's Mind-Control Guitar was simpler and more elegant than this:

It's Word Association time...

I should be happy, my independent study project got green lit but I'm not because of... garbage. Had a sort of a nervous breakdown a year into living by myself in this other town... because I don't know anybody, and everybody keeps asking me if I've made any "new" friends there yet. NO. No I have not.
So I'm going back to my hometown and going to work for awhile in my family's business until I recover from that a bit...

The research: It's a computational biology topic having to do with artificial life. See, advances in technology have made further progress in 'artificial stupidity' than in artificial intelligence, so people can way more accurately model "lower life forms" than ever before... and since not a ton of people are focused in that area... there is plenty of room for growth in A.L.
You know, simulated population models, evolution engines, that kind of thing. :-S

We're only about 25 minutes into it, so head on over here and help us guess the volume of turkeys in this movie!

Leave Robert Denby ALONE.

I meant ~MONKEY~ ...........(Thanks Gal !!! :)

Superb 80's cheese on Hulu!

Rifftrax' "Nightmare At Noon"!

Bo Hopkins! George Kennedy! Brion James! WINGS FUCKING HAUSER!!!

That squares my breasts.

Tonight's Lulz At Bedtime: RiffTrax, Mesa Of Lost Women -- a little palate cleanser after the sickness of Brain That Wouldn't Die.

"These! These! These!" --Kevin Murphy
"This! This! This!" --Mike Nelson

What is the goddamn deal with copyright law in this country? Why would any of the movies featured on mst contain content that is anything but public domain? Who is contesting this content? Do the Godzilla people really think that it is worth it to hold out at this point? Is NBC universal really needing money for " the thing that couldn't die"?

I won't bore you by talking about when I saw The Brain That Wouldn't Die on the old Count Gore show when I was 16 and thought "Keeee-RIST! This is the sickest goddamn' movie I've ever seen! Cool!"

You could only imagine my delight when I opened the cable guide that day 20-some years ago and saw that it was going to be on MST3K.

Also, the dawn of the Nelson Era -- and a damned fine dawn, too, IMHO.

Join me for the stripper catfight, won't you?

I just watched Wild Guitar, you know Ray Dennis (The Menace) Steckler begged me to be in that movie but I told him flat out "no Atlas King...no Cindy Larson! Period!" Filthy pig!

Thank you Jerry Seinfeld for Comedians in Cars Having Coffee and your interview with Joel. It reminded me that a very big item on my bucket list was to watch all episodes of MST3K. From one Green Bay citizen to another - we love you and what you created Joel!

Here we go: Earth.

I have a pounding headache for some reason. Ugh.

So, we were supposed to have auditions today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, but school has been called off because of Pennsylvania's biggest idiotic factor that I hate, snow. So, the auditions are put back a day. So, it's an MST3K day for me. Huzzah!

Hellcats isn't working, so I'm gonna watch quest of the delta Knights. if anyone cares to join me, I'll be at the rennasaince festival between the leather mug maker and the rat catcher.... Huzzah!

Jesus Christ that's the most depressing movie I've ever seen! Very rarely do I finish a movie with the thought "That's a F#$%ed up movie". I'm not even going to get into how every aspect of The Hunger Games is ripped off from this; but this movie really makes it clear how far the Hunger Games missed on showing just how twisted the premise is.

POW WOW INDIAN BOY, LOVED ALL THE ANIMALS IN THE WEST

Just in case anybody wanted to watch Kevin (and Jim Mallon, but really, who cares about him) doing extremely silly things in the late 80's, here's the KTMA TV 23 New Year's Eve Extravaganza and "Melon Drop" from
1987: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFVr3pYmTyw&feature=youtu.be&t=40s
1988: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5oDf9rq5ZY&feature=youtu.be(episode K07 of MST3K aired just after this one- you may notice a few other familiar faces...)
And here's just the Melon Drop itself from 1987, if you have a life and don't want to spend as much time watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GcDA860hts

On MeTV now, poor Rondo Hatton is in HOUSE OF HORRORS.

I'm over in Projected Man chat right now, and will be rolling in about a minute... won't you?

♫ ♫ I've got a job to-day!
Typing my brains away!
Next week, I'll get some pay!
I just got hired!! ♫ ♫

I actually was going to celebrate with lemonade, but we ran out. So it's a lemon-lime aid instead. Relieved to be off the streets for a few more days, but also pretty wiped. Going back to standard office hours after working Swing so much really takes it out of you. [waves, then returns to mending some work shirts]
