Our favorite cowtown puppet show has again made an “Entertainment Weekly,” “best of” list. They came in 19th in a list of “Greatest Cult TV Shows Ever.”
Picking between worst performances a while back was pretty tough. So many to choose from. But this week we’re going in search of rarer game: actually good performances.
This idea came to me because I was struck by Chester Morris’ performance in the movie we did this week for the episode guide: 808- THE SHE CREATURE. Maybe part of it was the contrast with Lance Fuller (who wasn’t acting at ALL), but it struck me that Morris was doing something we don’t see a lot of in our movies: actually acting pretty well! His acting was also obscured by the horrible print and the nonsensical plot but, still, ol’ Chester was giving it his all. So, this weekend, let’s hear what actor you think really showed us some acting chops in a MSTed movie. (We’ll do actresses next week.) The Oct. 8 encore presentation of the Plan 9 from Outer Space riff is a week away from a theater near most of you. As it approaches, TampaBay.com interviews Mike.
I’m not a Netflix customer, nor am I the owner of a computer that could successfully stream a movie, nor do I have an internet connection at home that would let me do that (and I’m too busy at work), so I have no idea what these people are talking about, but all day long people have been tweeting about the fact that a whole mess of MST3K episodes showed up this morning on some Netflix streaming queue that, according to them, weren’t there before. Nobody at Netflix responded to my attempt to ask them what exactly had been done, so I can’t say exactly what has been done, but apparently, reportedly, a bunch of MST3K eps are now available for streaming at Netflix, when they weren’t before. If this is true, Netflix may have done a great deal of damage to our nation’s productivity level. |
