Worst. Episode. Ever. I am a huge MST3K fan. Had the entire movie memorized in high school, and knew I'd get along with my college academic advisor when I saw he had an MST3K screensaver. I've watched this show forever, and even went to the Plan 9 from Outer Space live event. I'm a Mystie. I admit it.
The movie was so bad, these guys had trouble getting through it. Best line of the night: "They're just covering plot holes with asphalt now." We FINALLY get to the big fight--the TITLE fight--between the robot (a guy in cardboard boxes) and the Aztec mummy (a guy in a bad Halloween costume), and the only thing keeping poor Thomas from throwing a shoe at the television, and...they basically just hug it out, which gets me thinking about a robot and a mummy hugging it out. Which gets me surfing. Which gets me this:

ReplyDeleteMST3K ROCKS! I once saw a VHS copy of This Island Earth in one of those now-rapidly disappearing fye-type stores back in the day. I should have gotten it..

the robot is about the most precious thing ever...
But do I need a copy? I can quote the entire movie!!! "There goes a stupid, stupid man...I'm gonna curl up in a sock drawer and sleep for days...It's the amazing technicolor cheese wedge!"
ReplyDeleteI want the robot and the mummy. I will reenact the anti-climactic finish to that movie. :)
