Joel in “Water and Power”

Joel Hodgson makes a guest appearance in the third episode of the web show “Water and Power.” There’s some strong language used–not by Joel, of course–so parental and/or workplace discretion is advised.

Weekend Discussion Thread: Lamest Heroes in a MSTed Movie

Sorry for the late start. Our topic this week is: Lame heroes in MSTed movies. There are, of course, so many of these to choose from, getting your list down to ten will be tough. Show your work.

In episode order:
• 310- FUGITIVE ALIEN/ 318- STAR FORCE – FUGITIVE ALIEN II–Starwolf: Full of self-loathing and self-doubt, he is ultimately useless in virtually every challenge he faces, but then the Bacchus 3 crew set the bar pretty low…
• 408- HERCULES UNCHAINED–Herc, of course: Let’s face it, he spends a good deal of the movie asleep.
• 422- THE DAY THE EARTH FROZE–Lemminkainen: o/` He’s a failure, la-la-lah…o/`
• 501- WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD–Paper Chase Guy: As discussed this week, a whiny incompetent.
• 512- MITCHELL–Mitchell!: “Our hero, ladies and gentlemen…” Sleeps with hookers and drinks with his toes, the ultimate lame hero.
• 704- THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN–DOCTOR TED NELSON!: Repeatedly drops the ball throughout his entire investigation.
• 808- THE SHE CREATURE–Lance Fuller: Dead-eyed and comotose, the hero that just sort of stands there.
• 816- PRINCE OF SPACE/ INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN–yes, I know Prince of Space and Space Chief are technically different characters, but really we’re talking about the same archetype, and while our weapons are useless against them, lameness surrounds them.
• 910- THE FINAL SACRIFICE–Rowsdower. Nuff said.
• 1006- BOGGY CREEK II–Charles Pierce: He plays a smug, self-righteous callous jerk–and he wrote the movie!
How about yours?

More lists

Two more lists have popped up, this time of favorite robots:

Bullz-Eye.com includes Crow T. Robot in its list of 20 All Time Favorite Robots. Tom Servo, Gypsy and Cambot are also mentioned, but don’t rate the list themselves.

In honor of the release of WALL-E, Entertainment Weekly has created yet another list, this time placing Servo and Crow in its list of top 19 Hotshot Movie Robots. No mention of Gypsy and Cambot in this one, but hey, we know they’re there in spirit.
