Reminder – CT Crew at Archon 32

This is a reminder that the entire Cinematic Titanic crew…Frank, Joel, Josh, Mary Jo and Trace…will be appearing at Archon 32 this Oct. 3-5 in Collinsville, IL (a suburb of St. Louis, MO). Tickets for the entire 3-day convention are $60. Check the web site for more info.

I’ll be at the convention, doing my usual stalking coverage of the CT gang. If you happen to see me, step up and say hi, won’t you?

Now Available from RiffTrax Presents…

Weekend Discussion Thread: Most Disgusting Movie Moments

What we’re looking for are the moments that make you go “ewwww!”

Here are my top ten, in episode order:
• 312- GAMERA VS. GUIRON: Gaos gets carved into cold cuts. Weird and hideous.
• 405- BEING FROM ANOTHER PLANET: T.A. puts his hand in Egyptian hand killing junk–Effective makeup, effectively icky.
• 418- ATTACK OF THE THE EYE CREATURES: Any scene with two leering peepers–Ugh!
• 506- EEGAH!: the shaving scene–The horrible giant tongue puts it over the top.
• 512- MITCHELL: the love scene–I often wonder if the filmmakers were trying for sexy or nauseating?
• 513- THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE: Zippy disarms the doctor–Probably the most splatter of any MSTed movie.
• 704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN: the ear on the bush–effective, drippy Rick Baker makeup, brings out the “eww!” factor.
• 812- THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES: any scene with Ortega–He just looks nasty is what I’m sayin’.
• 1003- MERLIN’S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS: any shot of Borgnine’s giant midsection–It’s got a mind of its own!
• 1012- SQUIRM: the first time the worms overwhelm a character–I give them credit, that is genuinely creepy.

What are yours?
