kevin could do it too, he's got a good reading voice.
 
i can say from experience that the danish accents are hard to do, although it sure was fun trying. king leo is a tough character to get right too, with all his "oneness of the holy rat" stuff. ideally it would be a movie with all the characters played by the people they're versions of... jesse ventura, prince, the whole 9 yards.
 
i have a feeling prince is totally NOT like king leo, though. :D

Well seeing how I work in a bookstore maybe I can shed light on the subject.  It could be that the publisher didn't want to do it or maybe Mike just wanted to write the book and that was all.  I hear things like this all the time.

Let me tighten your movie up a little, there, Ler.

So i took the liberty of making a ten-minute "cliff's notes", reduced-pain version of "The Love Captive," in case the back-and-forth has made anyone curious what it's all about. ten minutes is about all a human being should be expected to take. plus, the whole movie pretty much fits in ten minutes. the rest of it is mostly filler and hairy male backsides.

you know, this movie's actually kinda hot after you take the sex scenes out...

I miss drive-ins. My parents took me to a local one several times when I was a kid.  I saw Young Frankenstein for the first time there.

By the time I was old enough to go to drive-ins by myself, most of them were gone, alas.  Whenever I ran across one, though, I'd catch something.  There's just something about the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, now that I live on the east coast I NEVER see an open drive-in.

If a movie is listed as "extended cut", does that mean it's longer than the theatrical verison? I want to watch the widecreen version of Ghost Rider with my rifftrax, but my library only has the "extended cut" in widescreen.  There's no length of time listed for this version in the catalog unfornately, but it does have more than one dvd.
I may just go with the fullscreen version, since all I really care about is the rifftrax lining up.
Did anyone even want to the see the director's cut of this, really?

Extended cut may mean a couple of things.  Since most directors don't
have final say on the edit of the movie, a director's cut is often
available on DVD.  (It makes a lot more sense when you watch the
director's cut of Alien 3 than the theatrical cut.)  An extended cut
usually means that some of the scenes that were deleted for the
theatrical release (usually because of runtime and the scenes not really
moving the story forward) are restored.  So in short, yes, it's longer
than the theatrical version.

is that from the book? if i got larry crane a mention in your book that'd be awesome! although i still have to say i think "the love captive" edges out "all women are bad" for sheer mind-melting cinematic awfulness. and i haven't seen "bad girls do cry."
 
among mainstream flops meteor is one of my favorites for unintentional lulz. we watched that more than once late night in college for the sheer cornball fun of it.
 
p.s. turns out nuclear weapons will probably be no help in destroying asteroids, regardless of what "meteor" sez. i read somewhere an asteroid would probably come in so fast it would just go right through the explosion the way you can run fast through a fire without being burned. so there. something else to worry about.

Larry Crane will always be burned into my brain as the man who gave the world All Women Are Bad (1969). This has long run neck-and-neck with my personal choice for worst movie ever made Bad Girls Do Cry (1965). I'm sure both of these did box-office business at NY grindhouses but were probably too low budget and obscure (re: bizarre) for the drive-in circuit of the 70's where Coffy (1973) and Big Doll House (1971) ruled. And horror had turned aquatic with Piranna (1978) and Jaws (1975) when it wasn't bloodying up the screen with Amityville Horror (1979) and Meteor (1979).

poor larry! he gets no respect! simply because he made what i'm still convinced are literally the two worst movies in human history. the only moviemaker capable of making coleman francis look like orson welles.
 
i'm not sure they even make real drive-in type movies anymore. the drive-in flicks of the 70s particularly seemed like a fluke in how movies got financed or something. now everything that's low-budget comes out direct-to-video (i guess it's direct-to-DVD now). it's sad, really. although it's probably just as well, if i'd started going to drive-ins as a teenager i probably would have gotten all obsessed with them.

We have one about 40 miles from here but it, too, only shows first-run films. Gone are the days of double or triple features. Gone are the classic horror flicks I saw at the Twin-City... the Exorcist, Night Of the Living Dead, Dawn Of the Dead. (I think Larry Crane is too much for even the drive-ins to show!) Gone are the soft-corn films like Chatterbox and the biker movies and the exploitation flicks! Gone but not forgotten.
 
But, in my travels for the book, I've discovered a surprisingly hefty number of defunct drive-ins are reopening and some new ones are being built! Numbers are creeping up...not in large enough numbers to make a noticeable difference to walk-in theaters but enough to be heartening to die-hard fans like me!

(which where i lived was at least half true lol.) they always took me to arthouse stuff, but that was cool, i saw movies like "dark star" and "the cars that ate paris" there. i think there's a drive-in somewhere in west virginia, a 100 miles or so away, one of these days i'm gonna put a road trip together. the problem is, now the drive-ins play movies like shrek 3. dude mainstream hollywood is not drive in! gimme some larry crane!

That was cool! Thanks! I shared it with Uni, my co-author.
 
It's a shame that you have never been to a drive-in! Drive-ins were more than just movie watching. They were an experience! The cars lining up on the ramps, those awful old crackling speakers, the dust and noise and concession-stand smells of cooking food. Little kids in Dr. Denton's playing on the playground that sat in front of the huge screen. Conversations from strolling teens moving from car to car. All of us patiently... and some not so patiently... waiting for the sun to go down. And, when it finally sank below the horizon, to be greeted by one of the 'feature presentation' videos you just shared with me. The excitement was palatable! I miss that very much!

i know bobbie is into the old drive-ins, she might dig this if she doesn't know about it already. this youtube guy has a lot of these intros on his profile, the above is just what i think is the best one. i gather they only played these at drive-ins, and i sadly have never in my life gone to a drive-in, so i've never seen them before.

We, the people, demand an explanation! the weird eavesdroppy guys that press speakers instead of microphones against the walls! the skeevy "she could fool her own mother" line! the guy in the closet! the five minutes and forty-five straight seconds of a chubby topless woman bobbing up and down with a werewolf to bongo music! why? why? WHY?

whoooooooooo issssss laaaarrrrrryy crrrrrraaaaaaaaannn neeee???? ????????? ???

Hey, Michael...I can't find a biography for Larry Crane. You got anything other than his filmography?

is that from the book? if i got larry crane a mention in your book that'd be awesome! although i still have to say i think "the love captive" edges out "all women are bad" for sheer mind-melting cinematic awfulness. and i haven't seen "bad girls do cry."
 
among mainstream flops meteor is one of my favorites for unintentional lulz. we watched that more than once late night in college for the sheer cornball fun of it.
 
p.s. turns out nuclear weapons will probably be no help in destroying asteroids, regardless of what "meteor" sez. i read somewhere an asteroid would probably come in so fast it would just go right through the explosion the way you can run fast through a fire without being burned. so there. something else to worry about.

Larry Crane will always be burned into my brain as the man who gave the world All Women Are Bad (1969). This has long run neck-and-neck with my personal choice for worst movie ever made Bad Girls Do Cry (1965). I'm sure both of these did box-office business at NY grindhouses but were probably too low budget and obscure (re: bizarre) for the drive-in circuit of the 70's where Coffy (1973) and Big Doll House (1971) ruled. And horror had turned aquatic with Piranna (1978) and Jaws (1975) when it wasn't bloodying up the screen with Amityville Horror (1979) and Meteor (1979).

poor larry! he gets no respect! simply because he made what i'm still convinced are literally the two worst movies in human history. the only moviemaker capable of making coleman francis look like orson welles.
 
i'm not sure they even make real drive-in type movies anymore. the drive-in flicks of the 70s particularly seemed like a fluke in how movies got financed or something. now everything that's low-budget comes out direct-to-video (i guess it's direct-to-DVD now). it's sad, really. although it's probably just as well, if i'd started going to drive-ins as a teenager i probably would have gotten all obsessed with them.

We have one about 40 miles from here but it, too, only shows first-run films. Gone are the days of double or triple features. Gone are the classic horror flicks I saw at the Twin-City... the Exorcist, Night Of the Living Dead, Dawn Of the Dead. (I think Larry Crane is too much for even the drive-ins to show!) Gone are the soft-corn films like Chatterbox and the biker movies and the exploitation flicks! Gone but not forgotten.
 
But, in my travels for the book, I've discovered a surprisingly hefty number of defunct drive-ins are reopening and some new ones are being built! Numbers are creeping up...not in large enough numbers to make a noticeable difference to walk-in theaters but enough to be heartening to die-hard fans like me!

That was cool! Thanks! I shared it with Uni, my co-author.
 
It's a shame that you have never been to a drive-in! Drive-ins were more than just movie watching. They were an experience! The cars lining up on the ramps, those awful old crackling speakers, the dust and noise and concession-stand smells of cooking food. Little kids in Dr. Denton's playing on the playground that sat in front of the huge screen. Conversations from strolling teens moving from car to car. All of us patiently... and some not so patiently... waiting for the sun to go down. And, when it finally sank below the horizon, to be greeted by one of the 'feature presentation' videos you just shared with me. The excitement was palatable! I miss that very much!

i know bobbie is into the old drive-ins, she might dig this if she doesn't know about it already. this youtube guy has a lot of these intros on his profile, the above is just what i think is the best one. i gather they only played these at drive-ins, and i sadly have never in my life gone to a drive-in, so i've never seen them before.

Who indeed! Where is this man who made bad movies for only two years, then seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth? Who was he? Everyone has a past. Why is the usually info-intensive imdb mute on Mr. Crane? And, why do I care!?!

Hey, I wonder if there is any current buzz on Cinematic Titanic going cable.

I notice that TMC and IFC cable channels are running late night Friday films
along the lines of the MST3K universe.  One of them is running "Robot Vs. The
Aztec Mummy" tonight.

It would be great if the addition of a host hook could make Cinematic Titanic
cable-ready in the near future.

I won't go into details here, but that's not the reason, but it's true,
they won't.  If you want details, I'll explain them off-line or you can
read Death From the Skies: These Are the Ways the World Will End by
Philip Plait, PhD.

Hey, Michael...I can't find a biography for Larry Crane. You got anything other than his filmography?

is that from the book? if i got larry crane a mention in your book that'd be awesome! although i still have to say i think "the love captive" edges out "all women are bad" for sheer mind-melting cinematic awfulness. and i haven't seen "bad girls do cry."
 
among mainstream flops meteor is one of my favorites for unintentional lulz. we watched that more than once late night in college for the sheer cornball fun of it.

Larry Crane will always be burned into my brain as the man who gave the world All Women Are Bad (1969). This has long run neck-and-neck with my personal choice for worst movie ever made Bad Girls Do Cry (1965). I'm sure both of these did box-office business at NY grindhouses but were probably too low budget and obscure (re: bizarre) for the drive-in circuit of the 70's where Coffy (1973) and Big Doll House (1971) ruled. And horror had turned aquatic with Piranna (1978) and Jaws (1975) when it wasn't bloodying up the screen with Amityville Horror (1979) and Meteor (1979).

poor larry! he gets no respect! simply because he made what i'm still convinced are literally the two worst movies in human history. the only moviemaker capable of making coleman francis look like orson welles.
 
i'm not sure they even make real drive-in type movies anymore. the drive-in flicks of the 70s particularly seemed like a fluke in how movies got financed or something. now everything that's low-budget comes out direct-to-video (i guess it's direct-to-DVD now). it's sad, really. although it's probably just as well, if i'd started going to drive-ins as a teenager i probably would have gotten all obsessed with them.

We have one about 40 miles from here but it, too, only shows first-run films. Gone are the days of double or triple features. Gone are the classic horror flicks I saw at the Twin-City... the Exorcist, Night Of the Living Dead, Dawn Of the Dead. (I think Larry Crane is too much for even the drive-ins to show!) Gone are the soft-corn films like Chatterbox and the biker movies and the exploitation flicks! Gone but not forgotten.
 
But, in my travels for the book, I've discovered a surprisingly hefty number of defunct drive-ins are reopening and some new ones are being built! Numbers are creeping up...not in large enough numbers to make a noticeable difference to walk-in theaters but enough to be heartening to die-hard fans like me!

ah im jealous! my folks would never take me to a drive-in because they thought they only played dirty movies there. (which where i lived was at least half true lol.) they always took me to arthouse stuff, but that was cool, i saw movies like "dark star" and "the cars that ate paris" there. i think there's a drive-in somewhere in west virginia, a 100 miles or so away, one of these days i'm gonna put a road trip together. the problem is, now the drive-ins play movies like shrek 3. dude mainstream hollywood is not drive in! gimme some larry crane!

That was cool! Thanks! I shared it with Uni, my co-author.
 
It's a shame that you have never been to a drive-in! Drive-ins were more than just movie watching. They were an experience! The cars lining up on the ramps, those awful old crackling speakers, the dust and noise and concession-stand smells of cooking food. Little kids in Dr. Denton's playing on the playground that sat in front of the huge screen. Conversations from strolling teens moving from car to car. All of us patiently... and some not so patiently... waiting for the sun to go down. And, when it finally sank below the horizon, to be greeted by one of the 'feature presentation' videos you just shared with me. The excitement was palatable! I miss that very much!

i know bobbie is into the old drive-ins, she might dig this if she doesn't know about it already. this youtube guy has a lot of these intros on his profile, the above is just what i think is the best one. i gather they only played these at drive-ins, and i sadly have never in my life gone to a drive-in, so i've never seen them before.

No. That's just me blathering away about my favorite subject...movies. And, I can pretty much assure you that ole' Larry, along with Andy Milligan, will be mentioned, especially in the section dealing with grindhouse exploitation movies.

But, in my travels for the book, I've discovered a surprisingly hefty number of defunct drive-ins are reopening and some new ones are being built! Numbers are creeping up...not in large enough numbers to make a noticeable difference to walk-in theaters but enough to be heartening to die-hard fans like me!

ah im jealous! my folks would never take me to a drive-in because they thought they only played dirty movies there. (which where i lived was at least half true lol.) they always took me to arthouse stuff, but that was cool, i saw movies like "dark star" and "the cars that ate paris" there. i think there's a drive-in somewhere in west virginia, a 100 miles or so away, one of these days i'm gonna put a road trip together. the problem is, now the drive-ins play movies like shrek 3. dude mainstream hollywood is not drive in! gimme some larry crane!

That was cool! Thanks! I shared it with Uni, my co-author.
 
It's a shame that you have never been to a drive-in! Drive-ins were more than just movie watching. They were an experience! The cars lining up on the ramps, those awful old crackling speakers, the dust and noise and concession-stand smells of cooking food. Little kids in Dr. Denton's playing on the playground that sat in front of the huge screen. Conversations from strolling teens moving from car to car. All of us patiently... and some not so patiently... waiting for the sun to go down. And, when it finally sank below the horizon, to be greeted by one of the 'feature presentation' videos you just shared with me. The excitement was palatable! I miss that very much!

i know bobbie is into the old drive-ins, she might dig this if she doesn't know about it already. this youtube guy has a lot of these intros on his profile, the above is just what i think is the best one. i gather they only played these at drive-ins, and i sadly have never in my life gone to a drive-in, so i've never seen them before.

We have one about 40 miles from here but it, too, only shows first-run films. Gone are the days of double or triple features. Gone are the classic horror flicks I saw at the Twin-City...the Exorcist, Night Of the Living Dead, Dawn Of the Dead. (I think Larry Crane is too much for even the drive-ins to show!) Gone are the soft-corn films like Chatterbox and the biker movies and the exploitation flicks! Gone but not forgotten.

I'm sorry for taking so long to restart this.  I don't have Internet access at my job.

Oh, nooooooo!!! I was gonna pass until I read that this set comes with a miniature Servo! Now I have to buy it! *sigh* Well, eating is over-rated anyway.
Thanks, Emily.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: XVI [Limited Edition]

this is the release with the servo statue

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NS5HOQ/ref=pe_5150_13680470_snp_dp

I don't know if this will be cheaper anywhere else, but there you go.

...the thrill of being close to that hidden knowledge. That's the way I feel when I read Nabokov. Encrypted within his words, encoded indecipherably, ambiguously, is the equivalent of the secret of lightning. Something akin to the secret code of higher human consciousness, the DNA, the genome of genius.
