Thanks to Bill Gibron for the link. Maximum PC magazine, of all places, has a sidebar in its April issue about the Statue of Liberty prank that Jim Mallon and Leon Varjian pulled off during their days at the University of Wisconsin. Just click on the image below for a larger view.
Thanks to Al Augustad for sending in the scan! The Providence Journal mentions Rifftrax…
So, you’re off to a desert island. It’s not some Tom-Hanks-hollering-at-a-coconut-head situation here. You’ll have a DVD player and electricity. But out of your complete collection of every MST3K episode (let’s assume you have one), you can only bring one.
What would it be? It would not only have to be a great episode but it would have to be one that would be good on repeat viewings. Mine may surprise you: It’s episode 610- THE VIOLENT YEARS To me, it just has everything an MST3K episode should have. Every single host segment is great (though the “Star is Born” thing Tom does is probably the least funny), the short is weird, the movie was written by Ed Wood and features the classic “lady violating the poor defenseless guy” scene, and the riffing is top-notch throughout. They are just firing on all cylinders. That’s mine. What’s yours? This topic is certain to demonstrate the truth of what has come to be known as “Sampo’s Theorem” which states: “For every MSTie who believes a given episode is the worst thing they ever did, there is another who believes it is their finest hour.” Oh, and I will allow honorable mentions, but only one. Mine would be episode 416- FIRE MAIDENS OF OUTER SPACE. |
