Just this guy.

I dig MST3K, film, retro games, Muppets, Iron Chef, hosted movie shows, birdwatching, horror/sci-fi, pro wrestling, oldies/jazz music, coffee mugs, tacky aloha shirts, etc.

Howdy!

MST3K is very much like the monster or the killer or the killer monster that we see so often in their movies: we can't count on it being gone right away!

No idea when or how the next incarnation will come about, but it's only a matter of time.

Also, HELL YES, TEAM EMILY!

There are two periods to life: before and after Manos.

I wasn't able to participate in the tape trading scene way back when, but I so *loved* that this was in place for fans.

AND HELL TO THE YES

For. Freaking. Real.

This show was a gem and a half, and I couldn't be happier.

There was hooting. There was hollering. There was hooting AND hollering. My word.

THAT THEY ARE :D

Cinnamon cereal, done right, is a joy. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is fantastic, same deal with Cinnamon Life.

My fave, though, was Croonchy Stars, a long-since-discontinued cereal that had none other than the Swedish Chef as a mascot! GOD, I loved that cereal as a wee sprout.

Share someone who looks stylish wearing a turtleneck?

Hell, let's make it a three-for!

Fantastic movie, SEVERELY underrated within the Scorsese film canon, and the moment where Dick Miller catches the kiss that Rosanna Arquette blows to him [pictured below] is an all-timer.

"I will not die a monster."

Alfred Molina's nuanced performance as Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 may very well be the chief reason as to why it's my favorite superhero movie.

This is slander against Don Knotts, founding member of D-Generation X.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched?

I smirked at Tom Selleck's literary narration (and mustache), felt the aura of a fascinating Soderbergh ghost narrative, opened my mind up to a slick sci-fi thriller, and yelled out that Amy Acker deserves a way better agent.

Nope, they came through with two consecutive Emmys for the guy!

There are 10 official versions of the MST3K theme.

KTMA, Joel, Mike, Mike w/ Pearl, the Dale Alvin theme that was recorded but not used for the movie, the 'endless chase' Sci-Fi theme, the Castle Forrester theme, the Netflix theme, & two Gizmoplex variations.

Ten.

You can expect tape circulation.
