Riding With Death.  I think the TV movies might be among my favourite MST3k episodes.  I think it isn't quite as good as San Fran International (which I love for it's misguided attempt to make working at an airport as dramatic as possible).

It also made me remember that I really want RiffTrax to do Baffled, the Leonard Nemoy pilot that never got picked up.  (You can always vote for it for the next list of crap).

Watching the episode 12 to the Moon. Bridget as Nuveena is absolutely gorgeous.  I would totally let my friends get turned into appliances to hit that!

Been having a Marathon of MST3k. I haven't watched the show in a couple of years. Watch Soul Taker right now.

Currently watching The Painted Hills episode right now. About 55 minutes in Lassie (sorry, Shep) outright attacks the bad guy and apparently tries to kill him. Why the hell is this movie not over right now?! Why would the dog stop attacking him, go away, and then not only come back but accept food from him? I may not buy in real life how smart people keep saying dogs are, but in the context of the movie he is supposed to be (and apparently PSYCHICLY LINKED WITH JONATHAN! That's the only way Shep could have know he was sick near the beginning of the movie).
That being said, I am enjoying all the riffs about the dog dying Tom is ding and how distressed Crow gets.
This also has one of my favorite host segments, when Crow is an ingot. The goofiness of the puppets and Crow enthusiasm at the end of "Yeah, I want me. Yes, I'm mine, all mine!" just kills me.

Painted Hills is a favourite of mine.  It's such an odd movie with an even odder climax.  It's like a particularly bizarre episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Watching the Hercules and the Captive Women, and I noticed that for once the DVD menus don't have that SHITTY CGI! Woohoo! I know it's crude 2D animation, but it still feels much more in keeping with the show and the excellent DVD cover art.

Wow. Just got done watching the Horrors of Spider Island episode. Yeah, I think I'm going to go watch something less sleazy. On Redtube.

I watched Prince of Space tonight. One of my favorites.

This time, I realized, Krankor is a lot like General Ross in the Incredible Hulk comics. His incompetence is only matched by his inability to comprehend the uselessness of his weapons.

Currently watching The Projected Man. This is some really good riffing. Lots of silly thing for them to grab ahold of and run with. I particularly like the Britishisms "Don't make me have to pop on down to the larder and unseal a tin of whoopass." and the obsession with knickers.
I also notice that it's only because the Patricia and Chris interfere that his self projecting fails, so they are really the cause of this whole mess.

  Watching episode 206 Ring of Terror. I don't remember anything about this episode, but I must have seen it at some point, because I do remember the host segment where Joel dissects the vacuum cleaner. Joel is actually very good in that segment as the dry, casual doctor.
  The biggest thing about this movie is that WOW these actors are old to be playing college kids! Some of the guys are starting balding for crying out loud. The riffing never lets up on the old jokes, and it just keeps being funny.
  Also, 47 minutes into the episode, and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED plotwise in the movie yet!

EDIT: Okay, so I finished it. This movie truly rivals Starfighters in NOTHING HAPPENING! Seriously, a bunch of people watch an autopsy and a guy gets scared by a lame fraternity prank. THAT'S IT!
Also, is this the only episode where the short (or in this case serial episode) is after the feature movie, not before it?

Yeah, I was wondering if it was just me because even after I had seen it, I wasn't sure about Starfighters plot aside from people making small talk and pilots running flight missions.

I think Starfighter was made for the USAF as a training film for pilots...primarily about safety.

Currently watching the episode The Sword And The Dragon. So, are Bridgette and Mary Jo also mad scientists, since they are moving into Deep 12?

More likely Gizmonics is just doing so poorly, they converted much of their compound into cheap housing.  And they could give a crap about the Mads (just don't tell them that.  They're sensitive).
