MST3K is Back, Sort Of

Polar Star writes "Retrocrush reports that Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett are back making fun of crappy movies again in a new incarnation called The Film Crew. In the first of many new DVDs to be released, they take on a 1969 abomination called Hollywood After Dark which features a still-not-very-young Rue McClanahan as a down-on-her-luck actress who becomes a stripper. Needless to say, it's one of the scariest movies you'll ever see. There's plenty of funny jokes throughout, and they definitely prove themselves worthy of carrying on the MST3K tradition." Update 1925 GMT by SM: Corrected a few oversights and pointed to The Film Crew's actual website.

Prior work?

[ArcadeX]

Anyone have any links to prior work they've done, to know what to expect?

Favorite MST3K Line?

[InvisblePinkUnicorn]

What's everyone's favorite line from MST3K?

Mine: "We will be approaching speeds of... 3!"

Re:Favorite MST3K Line?

[Psmylie]

Anything that mentions Zap Rowsdower.

"We will be approaching speeds of... 3!"

Ah, yes, a Space Mutiny quote, a very good one. I have so many favorites, perhaps I'll keep the trend going with another one from that show: "Look alive everyone ... oh, I'm sorry, not you, Susan." (in reference to a character who had died earlier in the movie but, for some reason, showed back up on the control room alive and well, working in another scene)

Re:Favorite MST3K Line?

[Loadmaster]

Way too many. Here's one of my favorites, though.

From: Pod People

"Oh, man, this guy's got renaissance faire written all over him."

(Man pulls out a crossbow from the front seat of the car)

"Huzzah!"

Joel or Mike?

[SirStanley]

[east coast]

Karma points? By saying something as foolish as that you risk your eternal soul to the fiery pits of hell. I'd not want to be you on judgement day.

From Master Ninja I: "I know he's around here somewhere. I can hear his theme song!" Also, from Gamera vs Megalon: "Gamera is really neat, Gamera is full of meat, we all love Gamera!"

What no Joel?! He was by far superior!

Superior??? I've heard he uses vi.

Re:Blasphemy

[GR|MLOCK]

Good news, buddy. I have a copy of Wikipedia that fell through a time portal from the future, and it lists "People that like Mike Nelson" as "The first up against the wall when the Revolution came."

Re:Rifftrax

[jollyreaper]

Whatever happened to Joel??

Didn't he really come up with the MST3K idea, even the theme music? Why did he just disappear?

He got in an escape pod and made it back to Earth at the end of Mitchell. He's been keeping a low profile since then because he doesn't want the Mads to send him back.

I posted this a while back, but here it is again: Zap Rowsdower, Chuck Norris style!

When Zap Rowsdower talks, people become intoxicated by the alcohol fumes from his breath
There are no endagered animals, only animals that Zap Rowsdower hasn't eaten... yet.
Zap Rowsdower once killed an entire cult with a single roundhouse kick. They died laughing.
Bullets are deflected by Zap Rowsdower's hockey hair
There is no forehead under Zap's mullet... there's another beer gut
In the unlikely event that Canada ever runs out of beer, they can drink Zap Rowsdower's blood, which is 120 proof.
You are what you eat, and Zap Rowsdower is 200 pounds of bacon fat
The only force known to withstand the force of a Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kick (tm) is Zap Rowsdower's doughy gut

That's all I have for now... Rowsdowermobile, awaaay!!

Re:Final Sacrifice MST3K premiered today in 1998

[Dachannien]

Servo: "Come on, one more sacrifice before we go?"
Mike: "Okay, but this is the final sacrifice."

Now, now...There's plenty of room in bed for both of them.

...oh wait, that sounded gayer than I meant

You don't know what MST3K is? We don't need your kind here.
