Soultaker was not ringing a bell for me and I thought it was one of those rare MST3K films that had caused me to be overdrawn at the memory bank but when I looked it up I instantly recalled how it was the episode where Joel came back! That was such a big deal for a MSTie fan like myself at the time. I’m so happy that the MST3K crew is still around and still doing things. I can’t think of many 30 year old entertainments where I still think it’s just as good today as it was in in its prime. Other than the season that was cut short due to the movie, I don’t think there has been a single bad season of MST3K. Do you?
I’m watching Night of the Living Dead (1968, not the 1990 remake) for the first time. It’s really fascinating to watch it and to see cliché after tired old cliché, while knowing that when this was made they were -inventing- every last one of those clichés and showing them to the world for the first time
Bedazzled. Anyone ever watch the 1967 original? Weird that we are almost as far away from the 2000 one as the 2000 one was from the original. [EDIT: I was told there would be no math…]
Limp Biscut’s I Did it All For the Nookie was my first exposure to anime music videos (AMV). This was 2000 so video on the internet was still hard and difficult to both download and watch but when I found one of Pikachu (who was still a relatively new character in the year 2000) singing “I did it all for the nookie” I thought it was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen. What was your first AMV?
Stephen King’s On Writing is the book I’ve listened to on audio more than any other. I took it with me when I moved to Japan and for whatever reason I found it to be the perfect book to fall asleep to. As a result I listened to 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there, every night for months and months. Anyone else use audio books to fall asleep?
Like a G6. I heard the D&D parody many times before I heard the original song so as a result I always find the original lyrics weird. Does anyone else think of any parody songs as “The Real” version? https://youtu.be/MNUnZgoUppM
