Agreed, somewhat, but it won't be me that does it. It's been a while since I saw it and my recollection was both how unjustifiably long it was and how slow it moved. I'll let someone else do the...

Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?

Getting back to the topic...MST3K, of course it's "anti-Cinema". It's cheesy, late night entertainment that involves creepy stuff. Nothing about that content or the expected time-slot or anything...

I don't think so. It's been a long time since I saw it, but, as I recall, between its length and pace, I recall my reaction being "not as bad as I heard that it was", or something like that. I, for...

After seeing Sasquatch Sunset (NOT a favorite at all, a complete train-wreck in my opinion), I had to find one I DO like, arguably the best movie from the classic Universal series, The Bride of...

Re: The Beach Boys (2024)

Indeed. They are the guys who pay the bills and own the infrastructure to make that stuff that we watch. The auto industry works the same way. I don't make either my own movies nor my own car.
