I'd be stoked to see them do ANY Uwe Boll movie. How has he escaped their wrath. Are the boys afraid of literally jumping into the ring with him? They shouldn't be. They could send Mike in there and then have have Kevin and Bill storm the ring smackdown-style!

[Doctor Who?]

I would just like to say that Transformers the movie can baught in one or Two dics form in any store that sells videos,at least in my area.  i don't think it is out of print.

[THE QUEEN!!!]

I'm so pleased Neverending Story made it----that film is RIPE for riffing, don't you think?

I LOVE the idea of Armageddon--just watched them riff that little bit of it on the MST3K 2nd Summer Blockbuster Review. "You need a fat funny guy, so I'll go".

And I found two copies of MST3K Volume 10 (with Godzilla vs. Megalon) in a Circuit City two weeks or so after the recall (and RAN with them to the register).

But if it's not out of print why are people selling them on Amazon for $63 and change - almost $90 for the 3D Lenticular cover?

If I were you, I'd grab as many of those as I could manage, put them on Amazon one at a time for $50 or $55 (depending on what I'd paid for them) before people get wise.....if it's really still available.

Woo! Looks like I'm the other vote!

And folks, come on. Pearl Harbor. Bay. Affleck. Ginormous period drama of questionable historical accuracy. It'd be great.

[Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck]

Probably.  I had forgotten the film even existed until this list.....and frankly, I liked it that way.

Yeah, ditto. I was living a pleasant life having wiped it from memory.

Luckily I never bothered to see the movie.

But each year to commemorate Pearl Harbor Day I wake up early, stay at home, and get bombed.

I was one of the two people who voted for it.  It takes a lot to make me hate a war movie but this war movie had everything I needed to hate it.

You just made the new sig line. Congrats.

Thank you.  <Takes deep bow... accepts large bouquet of flowers while weeping profusely.>

Good list so far.  I wish I remembered what I voted for (I have a vague recollection, but I erased it from my outbox.  I think I can piece it together by the end of the list.

[LucasM]

Yeah, it is a good list.  But unlike the LoC for Halloween films (where I kept a copy of the final tally to check out some of the ones I hadn't yet seen from the vid store), so far for those films that I haven't yet seen out of these I think it would be dangerous to see them without riffing added.


It is funny though.  There are some films here (Know1ng, for example) where I can't remember if I rented it and it was intensely forgettable, or if I've only seen ads for it.    [Luckily starting back in the 80s I've kept a list of films I've seen, which I've updated ever since.  So if I did see it, it'll be in that little book which I take with me to the vid store, preventing me from potentially renting it a second time if I have seen it.]
