Still Blathering

mitchell!

Just because I haven't posted in 3 or 4 months does not mean that I have abandoned this blog.  Granted, it's a very goon sign that I have, but it is not definitive proof.

Never the less, I still have more to blather about, so I'm going to keep...blathering.  Or something.

At any rate, the wonderfully positive thing for this week is Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3K for those of us who are too lazy to type out the whole thing).  In particular the movie Mitchell is one of my all time favorites from the MST3K folks.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with MST3K, it is an old TV show where the hosts basically sit around and make wisecrack remarks during the movie.  The result is usually hilarious, but Mitchell is a particularly funny example.

The movie is bad.  Bad as in "forgetting" about a major character about 2/3 of the way through a movie.  Note that this could have been bad as in Laserblast, where you have to whack yourself in the head a few times with a two-by-four in order to enjoy it, but it managed to instead be horrible in an entertaining way.

There are plenty of other movies that they manage to make into something enjoyable, Manos the Hands of Fate is another good one.  Sigh...there I go, ruining another couple of perfectly good posts by mentioning them here...guess I'll have to figure out something else to talk about.
