    Aw come on Manos is great! It's one of the greatest MST3K episodes ever made.

    Of course it is! That episode of the show was a comedic masterpiece; but that's only because of Joel and the 'bots sitting there in the theater cracking wise. But try watching the film on its own and see how long you last before you start wanting to open your wrists. I'd be dead by the end of the opening car ride sequence, and that's before we even get to Torgo... ;)

    I bow to your superior skills, sir. ^:)^

    I'm watching the MST3K version right now just because I Are The Internets reminded me how funny it was. [face_laugh]

    Anyone think Disney is capable of learning the lessons of Mystery Science Theater 3000? :confused:

    Worst film I have ever sat through was, in fact, Monster A-Go-Go. And, I wanted to love it based on its name alone. It is abhorrent.

    There's a kickstarter that recently finished, re-creating Manos: The Hands of Fate... with PUPPETS. "Manos: The Hands of Felt" is the title.

    Yeah, he could do the second film in the trilogy and call it "Star Warss"

    So then David Fincher could do the third one having to put up with studio interference causing the film to be delayed for 6 years and then Luke would die horribly in the end.

    Iow, the "blame the audience/movie-goer" trope/meme.


    The PT and OT did NOT have "the exact same formula", to be exact.

    "LOW"???? Iow = in other words

    Another trope: "you had high expectations/or too much nostalgia for the past"

    The endless online arguments caused by nothing but personal speculation lend themselves to the 'people seeing what they want to see' argument.

    If it were only directed at "endless online arguments".....but I've seen it directed against general movie-goers when they don't like a (SW) film.

    There is no lesson to be learned from TPM what they should do is look at the fan service failure known as superman returns
