Just this guy. I dig MST3K, film, retro games, Muppets, Iron Chef, hosted movie shows, birdwatching, horror/sci-fi, pro wrestling, oldies/jazz music, coffee mugs, tacky aloha shirts, etc. Howdy! av: MST3K's Crow in tux banner: Keep circulating the tapes

All the best to you with your inner and creative reset, and to a therapeutic, cathartic healing process.

…Oh. Oh no.

Story time. (🧵)

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. There’s a throwaway line near the end where Apollonia says something like “Neutrons don’t dance. They don’t make love.” and one of the bots cuts in and says, “They’re Lutherans.”

Haha heehee hoho we’re all having fun EXCEPT—

Did it ever feel to you like MST3K was imparting secret knowledge? Did you ever look at your classmates and say,
"Wait..do all of you seriously not know who Ernest Borgnine is!?"

I always chose to look at it in a more positive manner. He is a monster whose body cannot process real food, like a vampire, but he can still enjoy the taste and texture of cookies, even if he has to spit them out.

I dug La La Land, but even in digging it as I did, there's no way in Blue Hell™️ that Barry Jenkins should've lost the Best Director Oscar for Moonlight.

As for One Battle After Another? [winces]

My hope: they give PTA his due in Best Adapted Screenplay while clearing the way for Sinners elsewhere.

The fact this doesn’t belong to Barry Jenkins for Moonlight is insane. And now I’m afraid Sinners, the better film, will be skipped over for One Battle After Another.

In many ways, Rocky Horror and MST3K are both a response to late nite weird cinema, just 10 years apart.

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

as the weird kid in high school in the 90s, the most valuable lesson MST3K taught me was that it’s okay to wave your freak flag high.
