These are my glasses. Any problems?

Seriously? This is an actual thing?

I'm so pleased with the existence of a MST3k revival, that I don't need to actually see any of the episodes.

I'm guessing you'll feel differently on April 14th, Crawdad!

Same here.  I am of the type that will savor them slowly.  (Similar to someone I know who has still intentionally not read The Lonely Silver Rain!  Ahem.) 

But I care not one springy Servo glove if others consume all fourteen in a blur.  I can't fathom getting upset over it nor acting uppity as if society is going to hell straddled on Gypsy's tubular frame.

Speaking of Gypsy, she looks the same but received a couple of modifications that work for me.

Amazingly, there are a few at the fan site who are complaining about Full Season 11 availability.  Let me clarify: complaining that Season 11 WILL be available en masse.

They don't want any stinking binge-watching!

I think I've pretty much seen it all now, folks... I kind of know what ol' Jesus must have felt like when he laid it all on the line and people said, "Fuck you, sheep herder."

There is no other respectable conclusion to be drawn than that some MST3K fans are nuttier than those Stuckey's pecan logs RGG is so fond of mentioning.

You write fourteen new episodes and what do you get?  Another day older and the ranting internet...

Joel Announces Season 11 Debut

My only minor quibble with them going with Netflix is that part of the fun of watching it at a specific airtime was knowing that a few million other people were sharing the experience. That's unlikely to happen now, but it's not a big deal.

It's ridiculous for anyone to get bent out of shape over the prospect of people binge watching, though. My preference is to take my time and make them last as long as possible before the next set is released, but really don't care how anyone else chooses to watch them. Sheesh, talk about First World problems. Some people really need to just take a Sampo and chill out.

Living in the Midwest and being able to spend an afternoon in February soaking up sun and enjoying a bottle of wine and some snacks with a couple of pals.

This is a ridiculous solution to a problem that didn't exist. Sure, intentional walks aren't exciting, and it's extremely rare for anything to happen while they're being issued, but there's always the chance for a wild pitch or a sneaky maneuver like this one from the 1972 World Series that is now legendary. I think it's a big mistake to take away the potential for it to happen again.

So...let's start with Fahrenheit 451.

Cheating a little, but I doubt I'll ever read this again.

May as well toss it on the fire.

How can you read something again if you will never read it in the first place? Asking for a perplexed friend.

Movie remakes I hope are never remade and the actors I pray don't star in them

The Man Who Would Be King/Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan

Quote from: albrecht on February 22, 2017, 01:01:40 AM
No idea who Kevin James is but that is one not remade. The others, well if CGI could recreate Donna Reed, I'm not complaining. But against. Taxi Driver? Ok, Peter Boyle only really good stuff and he better in others with bigger role.

Count yourself among the lucky few!

Movie remakes I hope are never remade and the actors I pray don't star in them

Jeremiah Johnson/Kevin James

Taxi Driver/Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean

It's a Wonderful Life/Steven Seagal

You mean sponsoring legislation in the Illinois legislature on behalf of a major Chicago slumlord, and ending up with a mansion in a great neighborhood after a slimy real estate transaction with that person?  That bag of chips?

Of the postwar presidents, I don't remember Ford, Carter, or Reagan doing anything like that.  Eisenhower or Truman either.


If the Fake News Media hadn't beaten up Nancy Reagan for wearing nice dresses and getting private donations to update the White House china, I probably wouldn't need to bring up the unprecedented $100 million plus of taxpayer Barry and Mooch spent on parties and vacations.  Or the constant private fundraising trips he took, where he was sure to mix in a public speech in order to put the whole thing on the taxpayer's tab.  No other president did that to the extent Obama did, not even close.

You said *financial*, so I guess that excludes the ideological corruption - the association with domestic terrorists Bill Ayres and Bernadette Dohrn, Marxist Black Liberation Theology ''Reverend'' Jeremiah Wright, Hamas mouthpiece Rashid Khalidi,  Red Diaper Babies Plouffe, Axelrod, and Valerie Jarret, the undermining of the US Constitution, the complete cover up of his past life, etc.


But let's say that all gets excused away.  Would you really have us believe this nobody rose to the top of the corrupt Daley Chicago Machine, and was squeaky clean while doing it?

I'm surprised you're giving Carter a pass. I would have guessed that grotesque visions of Bert Lance still danced through your head like obese, overripe, sweaty sugarplums.

I'm not a big zombie movie fan, but I enjoy creatively clever variations on the theme. I mostly like Warm Bodies and really like Zombieland, with the Bill Murray cameo being the icing on the cake.

Brings up good question: "what movies have you walked out of?"

I can't recall ever walking out of a movie, although years ago I left a Beach Boys concert before it was over because they were mailing it in with postage due.

I think the worst first 5 minutes of a movie I ever watched before diving for the remote was this--

Speaking of Madonna, W.E

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1536048/

Anyone who wants to watch the official trailer can do so on YT because I don't have the heart to inflict it on this thread.

The War of the Worlds and Day the Earth Stood Still remakes. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people who do stuff like that?

There will never be another One like McGoohan.

Be seeing you.

Lol, yeah don't annoy the king, especially if higher than ground floor.

Can't believe he wasn't nominated for best supporting actor oscar.  His performance makes the movie.

I never get tired of watching the scene where he pitches his son's unctious metrosexual friend out the tower window.

Any Rob Schneider movie.

I'm surprised he's lasted so long. I saw the Allmans fifteen or so years ago and he was enormous. He didn't seem to have much energy, either, and they had a young guy with boundless energy playing percussion to compensate. It was still a good show, and a very young Derek Trucks, who hadn't become big in his own right, tore it up on guitar and made a very good first impression on me.

I stand corrected.

See that you don't forget!

I can't get past the shaved head.  It's like being lost in Sears as a little kid and coming across a female mannequin without its wig.

Nightmare jet fuel. 

It's an apt comparison, because she has only a few more natural body parts than a mannequin.

Celebrities I predict won't die this year even though it's not unreasonable to think they could

Keith Richards - he's going to be the last rock star of his generation left standing and will probably make the 127 Club.
Mickey Rourke
Grace Slick
Prince Philip
Kenny Rogers
Stan Lee
Willie Mays
Willie Nelson
G. Gordon Liddy
Michael Caine

Quote from: 21st Century Man on February 21, 2017, 03:41:54 PM
LOL.  Alright.  Then I'll go with Jackie Stallone and actor Norman Lloyd.

Jackie Stallone is a great choice because it combines predictions and wishful thinking. I wonder how the rump reading business is going these days.

Damn Google images! Oh well, then Myrna Loy was stunning in her youth.

Myrna Loy never stopped being stunning or classy as hell.

Quote from: 21st Century Man on February 21, 2017, 03:17:02 PM
10 predictions eh.

Fats Domino
Jerry Lee Lewis
Glen Campbell
Harrison Ford (plane crash)
Sean Connery
Kirk Douglas
Malcolm Young
Betty White
Justin Bieber
Miley Cyrus

Wishful thinking doesn't count.

The Amazing Kreskin
Raymond Smullyan
Tom Robbins
Richard Bach
Billy Graham
Julie Newmar
Pat Priest
Joanne Linville
Bill Ward (drummer)
June Lockhart

(I predict Kreskin every year.  It never ceases being funny.)

I don't get it.

And I'm pretty sure people who are already dead don't qualify.

Quote from: Σ> on February 21, 2017, 11:12:11 AM
shit.  i meant to pick simmons and manson, and forgot.  can we share those two?

Sure.

B) It is perfectly acceptable to repeat the prediction of someone else.
