Review of Vol. 16, and some Vol. 17 News

Andrew O’Hehir of Salon.com reviews Vol. 16.

And speaking of DVD sets, a bunch of people alerted us today to an e-mail they got from Amazon today. It went a little something…like this.

Greetings from Amazon.com.

We are sorry to report that the following item is no longer available
from our supplier:

Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume XVII

However, we have learned that a substitute is available under a
different item number. You may link directly to the product details
page for the substitute item using the URL below:

Substitute: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030ATZHQ

The unavailable item has been cancelled from your order. If you would
like to purchase the substitute item, please visit our web site to
place a new order.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for shopping
at Amazon.com.

Sincerely,

Customer Service Department
Amazon.com

Now, here’s the kicker: the price at this new URL is not the previous $41.99 but $56.49. Yeesh.

What this means, we think, is that if you’ve already pre-ordered Vol. 17 using our URL, we’re not getting anything from that order.
Now, we totally understand if you are going to look to other retailers, but if you are sticking with Amazon, we would like to request that you use THIS LINK to reorder. Thanks.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Blurting Out MST3Kisms

Well, dang, I can’t find it now, but I got an e-mail a while back with a great suggestion for a discussion thread: Times when you have blurted out an MST3K line or phrase, only to realize that nobody around you has any idea what you’re referring to.
The guy gave a really funny example of blurting some catchphrase in the middle of…I can’t remember, maybe a classroom or an meeting at work, and getting some very strange looks.
My apologies to whoever sent the e-mail.
So since I can’t remember his story, I’ll tell you one of mine.
I was visiting some friends of my wife’s and a football game was on, and a beer commercial came on featuring a very shapely young lady. Without even thinking, I muttered “Oh, I hate to shoot a butt like that!” It got very quiet. I think some of her relatives still talk about that.

Ever have any experience like that?
