I'm lusting after a copy of "Psychomania" will there ever be a UK release or should I just get a US version? I just can't decide. I haven't seen it for a while so in a way I'd like a copy now.

Your new avatar is nice, mate. :cool:

I've been holding off on the US DVD, as apparently they were supposed to be working on a Blu-ray release. I do need Psychomania in my life, so I doubt whether it will be long 'til I crack.

haha cheers. I have to pull a face otherwise I look a bit sarky.

I would prefer to wait, I've seen it so many times but I also need it badly. I would hold out for a blu-ray release :clap:

nice ska vest though... i see you are in the two tone-mood.

ska, well two tone and trad, it was my favourite music as a kid, (along with hair metal, thanks to my aunt) still love it. That jacket was an ebay buy.

hehe... well i love reggae and ska, mate. :P :)

Just ordered the Italian DVD of the 3rd ATOR film.

hehe... well i love reggae and ska, mate. :P :)

but basically i was into hair metal as a kid, 18 years ago......

Interestingly, the best of the series was the only one NOT directed by Joe De'amato.

You can't beat a bit of W.A.S.P., apart from say the politics these days. A bit too far right.

wassup... the new avatar is better. :);):laugh:

Haven't seen it but I'm becoming slightly obsessed with seeing as many Alfonso Brescia movies as I can. :loco:

The first one is a bit shit but I quite enjoyed the second one. There is a 4th but I haven't seen it.

Come to think of it, wasn't Ator 3 the one on MST3K?:rolleyes:

**** MST3K!

BOOOOOOOOO!
:lol:

Be advised that The Complicated Raping Case dvd-r is either cut or badly authored and is missing a scene...just shows that dvd-r is not really the way to go...will be hunting down the oop dvd now.

Don't know if the other dvd-r's are ok but best not to order any of them until I've checked.

I hate it. And I especially hate the way people will say a film is bad just because MST3K says it is. How about watching it without those ''hilarious'' characters and making your own mind up! (that is NOT a dig a you Hawk!) PHASE IV, DANGER: DIABOLIK and SQUIRM were featured on it and they are far from terrible films. The people who made the show could only dream of being on the same level as Bava.

I'm surprised Mystery Science Theatre still has an audience.

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 :clap:

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.

These arrived today... :biggrin:

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! :rolleyes:

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. :nod:

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.

Escape From The Bronx was on MST3K?!

Under the title Escape 2000.

Exactly how I feel about it. I will add that the snarky remarks were usually not even slightly funny.

I found it patronising and rude.

At the end of the day, I don't want people talking over films!

Huzah! My Street Trash Meltdown edition just arrived :cool: Odd that the quote on the cover is from rock radio fella Tommy Vance :confused: . . .

I remember him raving about the film many years ago, during an episode of his 'Friday Rock Show'

He sad it was the best "melt movie" he had ever seen!

You actualy WANT to watch The Head that Wouldn't Die?
I find that hard to believe, some movies ARE bad enough to take the micky out of. Interestingly, with the exeption of a few, most of the people affiliated with the movie's that where riffed where actualy rather happy about it.

:rockon:

I've got Body Melt on my lovefilm list. Any others . . . ?

Yes, and I want to watch it properly without self-appointed "comedians" prattling over the top of it. I want to form my own views and opinions.

Why did they never do anything with really bad films? Air Force One or The Rock or Signs or the like? They chose "easy targets" and acted like bullies.

I couldn't find it funny.


Oh and I have watched The Brain That Wouldn't Die, more than once and enjoyed it heartily. I think I own two copies of it.

I think your missing the point of the show.
They couldn't do any of the aformentined movies because some had not been released by that point (BTW), where very much in the public eye, where populare at the time, and where NOT in the public domain (like all the movies they DID review).
The show was intended to provide light hearted humour at no one's expence (even ADAM WEST complimented the show when they riffed his movie, Zombie Nightmare).
If you dont like it and want to watch your movies riff free, then that's fine by me, but I for one adored the show and still do.

Phase IV, Squirm and Diabolik are in the Public Domain?
