I'd say noooo. But in the way that it was the only way we would see the weird offerings. Now we get to buy them all on dvd

I like MST3K but also like a lot of the films mocked on it. I don't think the mocking's done in a sneery way, I think it's affectionate

I have never seen one myself, but i imagine they are simillar to Joe Bob Briggs, who laughs at and with the films showing affection for his subject.

As I said it's the people who judge a film just because it's been on MST3K that really irritate me. Some haven't even seen the films but they have to be bad because MST3K says so!

I watched Blood Mania last night Bdc.

Talk about a title not representing its content. Now if it were called Boobs Mania it may have been different.

It's all good Dem.

I agree Pete. But then the majority of people are reasonably weak willed and are easily influenced by their peers, by society in general, by the media and by the state; and therefore propaganda.

You only have to look at how the mainstream media report on foreign conflicts to see just how distorted the facts become, and you need to look to journalists like John Pilger in order to get the facts.

Yes I know we were talking about films to start with...

One of the many reasons I like MST3K is because they feature films I haven't seen and, whether they look terrible or pretty good, I always want to see them without the sarcastic one-liners.

Like PaulD said, I think the films are mocked in a loving way rather than being torn apart because they genuinely hate them.

I love alot of the movies that have appeared on MST3K.
Escape from the Bronx, Pod People, Ator 3, Mole Men. I love them all.
I adore the show, because it was so charming and humoures. I'm a cynical old bastard and this is shown in my response to the show.
