Posted By skizzerflake
Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?

This takes us back to the MST3K topic. Can a film maker be great by doing a great job at making deliberately weak, cheesy movies. Just what do we do with Roger Corman, a guy who made lots of...

Re: If you could reunite one cast for a surprise reunion for your birt

Either the Seinfeld cast or the I Love Lucy cast. If I had a pool, I'd like to see Fred Mertz jump in.

I seem to have some background with this thread. Apparently, in 2014 I posted this, quite a journey for a comment -

Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?

Overthinking seldom works. What is overthinking? I can't define it but like a lot of things, including porn, I know it when I see it. I'd take a counter position, that, if "you" (whoever you are)...

A little bit too much True Believer for me. It's fun, art, entertainment and business, some combination of the four. Some nights it goes well with pizza and beer.
