Mystery Science Theater 3000 Presents: Loose Change 2nd Edition

I spit beer all over my monitor when I read the "Rowe-Shambo" gag. Here's my nomination:

I third or fourth or whatever the nomination of Silentknight for the following post, the whole post get's the nomination, but I also want to give special mention for pith for just the following snippet:

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
Korey Rowe

MIKE: Formerly known as Korey Rowe-Shambo, but he had it changed after that unfortunate hazing incident.

I hope in the next chapter we get to see two of the 'bots re-enacting the Cartman "Rochambeau" scene from South Park (I tried to find a video clip but haven't succeeded)!

I wonder what would lose in an MST3K stinkfest - Manos: The Hands of Fate, or LC:FC.

I'd go with LC:FC, only because the creator of Manos didn't know or believe at the time that he was making the worst motion picture ever made. Do-Over and company seemed to know that the were full of it and kept right on going anyway.
 
You forgot "Prince of Space" and "Return to Boggy Creek" as contenders.
 
Well, not if we're talking movies that potentially gave Mike and the bots the urge to give in to Pearl or Dr. Forrester. I recall during Prince of Space they showed a scene where Mike and the bots were about to give up and only a visit from a character from another movie they'd MiSTied saved them.
 
"Hobgoblins" also made Mike and the bots want to give up and leave several times. That was the one where they tried replacing themselves with cardboard cutouts, which fooled everyone but the Observer. The huge slam against director Rick Sloane at the end was so funny I had to watch it several times. I understand it pissed off Rick Sloane immensely when he saw it, even though he was the one who offered up his film for riffing. :D


BTW as I said in the nominations thread, the MSTing was a collaboration with another fan who named himself after Crow (but I'll refer to him as Spongebob to protect his identity) and this would not have been possible without him. He was the one who introduced me to MST3K and got me hooked in the first place. The idea for the MSTing and the outline were mine, as were the pictures, the proofreading, and half of the riffs. He wrote the host segments, the other half of the riffs, and did all of the characterizations. He doesn't have an account here though, and the fanfiction site we would normally post it on is "down for maintenance."

I'm not sure if we're going to do Final Cut or not, since it's an entirely different monstrosity from 2nd Edition, and AFAIK no one has done a thorough debunking of it yet.

Incidentally, he wanted me to mention that he's the one who managed to talk one of my atheist friends out of her belief in the 9/11 conspiracy theories. He's not an atheist himself, although he doesn't mind (much) whenever I make fun of his religion. :p

Ah, Krankor. "The earth will not conquer itself, I suppose..."

Although my all-time favorite was Jack Frost.

"I never sat on a shovel before!"
Mike: "Not the flat part, anyway."

Is that the weird Russian one where some chick was like Cinderella with only one wicked stepsister, got exiled from the family and was rescued by some Father Winter kind of character before being rescued (again) by the hero who'd fallen in love with her back when she was still Cinderella? Or am I thinking of another one?

God knows there've been so many. *L*
 
Wonderful!

Long enough I had to read it in three installments, which is the only reason I am replying so late...

I think that's a pretty good summary of the plot. Such as it was.
 
I'm so jealous CptColumbo...

I got all but the pilot, and the first 3 episodes of the KTMA era of MST3K.

As for the OP.

Very nice, very good, with one HUUUGE problem, imo... Most of those comments are coming too fast and mid sentence, and wouldn't really work like that on telly.

But on text, on this board, it works perfectly :)

I have a tape of the Gamera episode, but I didn't like the show at first. Mainly because it meant they would stop doing their other show "15 Minutes" (a parody of 60 Minutes) and the New Year's Melon Drop. Instead of a ball lowering on New Years Eve they would drop a melon off the roof of the building, and built this vast mythology about it's Scadanavian Origins. IIRC it ran for four years. I drove by the old studio on New Years Eve this year and sighed.

"Pine Curtain" and "War of the Worlds" are the best episodes of "15 Minutes." They do a story on the wall seperating Minneapolis from St. Paul, as if it were the Berlin Wall, when really it's just a freeway sound barrier. Then they show the hidden weapons to defend the Earth against an invasion from Mars, and their "expert" works at a bowling alley. He identifies everyday items as high tech weapons. IMO it's very anti-CT.

I got to dig up those tapes and put them on Youtube.
 
I have great memories of Krankor.

Krankor: Each of you will enter a space capsule.
Random Scientist: What?
Tom Servo: Oh, for crying out loud....EACH OF YOU WILL ENTER A SPACE CAPSULE!

Man....there has to be some sort of conspiracy behind why this show is no longer on the air, not even in reruns.
 
One of my fave lines was from some movie they did involving killer bees. As the actors' names flashed (in the "Hee Haw" font, as one of the guys pointed out), the screen showed a close-up of a bee in flight. After about four names, one of the guys said "They named every bee? This is gonna take FOREVER!"
