I think a big part of why the new season is working so well is the movie choice. From the ones ive seen so far, they're very easily watchable, in color, and most importantly theyre hilarious to watch and make fun of all on your own. There's quite a few eps of past seasons where those movies most def are not "so bad theyre good/funny", where theyre just downright brutally painful to watch and one would never be caught dead sitting thru it on their own or even to make fun of with a likeminded friend. The brilliant folks behind MST3k still made itw ork of course, but it's a far cry from something like Cry Wilderness.
It just makes it so much easier for them to rattle off great jokes and for viewers to sit thru the tripe.
It'll be super interesting to see what Lynch does with this.
We have a HUGE chunk of time that had to of passed since the last time we visited the characters
Dull says it all regarding new Tom Servo. The voice alone simply doesn't stand out AT ALL. I'm several eps in and im still not really perceiving any real personality from Tom Servo. It's like a blank slate, just some random puppet voiced by some random yahoo off th street with a unremarkable, forgettable voice that doesnt stand out in any way whatsoever.
I dislike Gypsy too. If youre going to give her a bigger role, that's great. I actually always found it a bit odd how seldom she popped up in the previous seasons. But the voice doesnt do it for me and worse, the jokes she makes and things she does in the new eps ive watched simply arent funny. the last time she popped in i remember thinkin, "oh great, gypsys barging in again with a lame joke" haha and that was before she even made the gag(which ended up being pretty meh).
You know another thing i noticed, they dont ever simply laugh at the movie. There were quite a few times in the previous seasons where the gang would just laugh at the movie. There would be no riffing, they just laughed out loud at how absurd and pisspoor it all was.
Have yet to see that with the new crew. Stuff like that went a long way to making the whole thing feel natural, like it wasn't some rehearsed thing but that you were watching crap movies with em for the first time and they were simply reacting to the crap as you would/do. I've only watched a small amount of eps though, so maybe ive yet ot come across it.
Overrated junk taht fails miserably at delivering on the satisfying badass revenge it promises
Action sequences are forgettable and poorly filmed as well. The whole thing feels neutered
You can be shot in the head and still survive and even show movement for a period of time after.
Given how botched the police actions were all around here and how untrustworthy they are in that country, it really is impossible to know what exactly happened. The police round would have been the first to hit her, so there's a good chance she would have died no matter what the criminal asswipe did. It's mindblowing the cop missed and hit her instead. No idea how he was never charged with a crime. What shocking ineptitude.
Also worth noting that Sandra likely would have never shot if the cops hadnt botched things at the end. You got a wound up, coked out asshole with his finger on the trigger and a gun to a womans head, and youre going to tackle that man to the ground. Is it any surprise his gun went off? Doesnt excuse it of course and he ultimately is a piece of shit, but its worth saying that the death of this girl may only be indirectly on his hands. The cops caused that scene at the end.
The sketches are fucking gutbusting. Get a sense of humor.
Prob the biggest appeal of this show is that it feels like i'm right there with the gang watching the movies. There really is no more perfect show to watch if youre feeling lonely some night, as it truly does create the illusion that you're right there stuck in that satellite of love with em. LOVE that aspect of the show. That's the biggest reason why i cant get into the riffrax or cinematic titanic stuff, same people and same wit involved, but it's a TOTALLY different thing nevertheless. Blows my mind anybody would skip the sketches. Are they often dumb, def, but it still helps create that before mentioned atmosphere and they DO in fact have some HILARIOUS ones.
I loved the cartoon cutout body being eaten by the monster. Mindblowing they thought that looked good.
I also loved how few ribbons this fucking GENERAL had. The man was a hero of the Battle of the Bulge yet he only has 5 fucking ribbons on his rack? Amazing.
My favorite gag in the whole movie though was when they voice in some, "ohhhhhhhhhhh" as one of the scientist dudes walks thru the lab with his mouth agape. hahah something about it, the timing, just how simple it was, but it worked for me. Hilarious. Laughed so hard.
Theme song returns.
However, i have yet to see if the end credit tune returns. I will be fucking CRUSHED if it does not.
Eh, it was there sorta, slightly altered instrumentally although the music is the same. Could have gone without it doing the monster rap again rather then that classic MST3K end chime sound. Tad dissapointed, but not to the point of disgust.
Seems theres FAR more people involved with the new show, making the end credits FARRR longer. Hope this isnt going to be the norm, shortened version of classic end song followed by some repeated thing from the show while the credits roll forever
No longer dedicated to teachers of america
Pearl is just as hot as ever, damn she's aged gracefully. Nice
Ok, so i HATED that none of the prior cast was returning. I was ready to swear this off. I gave it a chance, and i'm sold not even half way thru Reptilicus.
The Monster Rap is what did it. Fucking brilliant.
Not big on the robot voices, but the wit seems to still be there and just as sharp and funny as it ever was.
