I'm not a big hockey guy, but I imagine the large immobile goalie would be an issue because a goalie frequently has to leave the goal for one reason or another (usually to fetch the puck behind the net) and then has to quickly return back to the goal position -
but was it the same guy twice or two different guys

Crono was the last great bad poster. He truly believed in everything he said. Since then we've had a bunch of bad posters who are self-aware of their badness and get caught up in the hype to the point that it isn't fun (WP, EHME, Marv)

The big deal wouldn't be an 8-8 team making the playoffs (which has happened a few times), but rather an 8-8 team winning their division

I'm surprised people remember the three Guyanas, since they're the odd men out of South America

The OAO Mystery Science Theater 3000 Thread
Slayer replied to DMann2003's topic in Television & Film
Although there's still a charm with MST that is absent in TFC, so it's not a perfect world Maybe there's something about a guy and two robots with childlike wonder that just doesn't translate well into three middle aged men -
The OAO Mystery Science Theater 3000 Thread
Slayer replied to DMann2003's topic in Television & Film
My review of Cinematic Titanic (note: when I refer to The Film Crew guys, I'm referring to both their work on TFC and Rifftrax) Much like the Joel-era of MST, the commentary is typically goofy, as opposed to the more sardonic Mike-era/TFC commentary, of which I prefer the latter. Unfortunately, the combination of the simple nature of many of the cracks, combined with a horrible delivery, causes the whole thing to feel flat. There were also long stretches of silence begging for commentary, as well as missed opportunities involving flubbed lines and poor editing. I got a few chuckles here and there from the feature, but I don't think I had a major laugh-out-loud moment once, and in fact I felt it was a chore to sit through this thing after the first ten minutes or so. One thing I noticed is that it feels like they recorded the whole thing in one take, as it feels like there are several rushed lines throughout the film that should have been redone. In addition, there are quite a few lines in there which could have been good, but were poorly delivered by the riffers. Frank's voice and delivery in particular are not suited for riffing at all (though a viewing of Last of the Wild Horses had already shown that). Mary Jo, on the other hand, was surprisingly good with her cracks, even though she wasn't given many lines through the show. However, there is very little interaction and chemistry between any of the riffers... they're just five independent riffers, and there's minimal interaction between them as there is with the FC guys, though I will be fair in that this is their first release, while the FC guys have been working together for two years now. As for the "sketches", well, first they leap right into the movie without any premise sketch in the first place. There are some sketches in the middle where they'll pause the film, but they're so bad that they take away from the experience rather than add to it. One thing that's become evident to me from this production vs TFC, combined with their respective books, is that Mike and Kevin were the main providers of erudite/"deep" references during MST, as they're totally absent in this production. In general, the absence of Mike's writing skills are definitely noticable. Essentially, I would recommend avoiding this one. It's just not good at all. -
