It was fun to see Joel and TV's Frank again. It reminded be of the good old days. I love it.
As for the movie: It stunk! The whole bath scene (What Mike and the 'Bots were doing mind you) was fun
Best Line: Seeing a flat line Mike says "This is your brain on death, any questions?
The whole second half I was waiting for Dr Forrester to make an appearence to complete the reunion of sorts.
I saw the last half last night, I couldn't sleep I was so anxious to see this episode, and it didn't dissapoint. However Sci fi did, putting the new episodes at 11 at night!
No normal person with a normal scedule can see it! It makes me sick. why don't the put Sliders or Poltergeist on at 3 am, and let the good shows take over prime time?
When Joe Estevez tries to take the blonde kid's soul:
"Nice try Joe, but this kid sold his soul to rock and roll, you'll never find it."
Great episode! The movie felt like a combination of Hobgoblins and Werewolf. I also like the touched up theme song!
BTW, I noticed some editing nits during the movie, but they'd be pretty pointless to mention since this is an MST3K movie!
VH2: It wouldn't be pointless. Nitpicking is fun for all!
Loved the episode, unfortunately my recording only got half the new theme song so I shouldn't comment on that. After it was over, I was a bit overcome with emotion after Frank and Joel's appearances. All I could think was,"Joel, Frank, Joel, Frank. That was Joel and Frank." :-) Great MST3K movie. Good Choice, BBI! Can't even remember my favorite line cause there were so many.
Great line--Dead Dude: "Led Zepplin was wrong, man." Servo: "Shut up! Zepplin is never wrong!"
"Was Sabbath wrong too man?"
Okay, here's a grungy nitpick:
Joel, Mike, and the 'bots talk about the SOL being 10 years old. Isn't it really over 500 years old, since they were brought back to it in the year 2525?
Just repeat to yourself "it's just a show,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Science Theater 3000!"
Just kidding. I thought about that too. Maybe they used that as a lame plot device to explain Joel being there and they didn't want to do the math. Hmmm.
Mr. Moderator, if you're going to copy the summary from the SCI-FI MST webpage, you should probably give them credit.
Mike: I do. Check out the announcements.
Did anyone else think that movie had the cheesiest soundtrack ever?
The Reason why they ignored the time factor is because the "Season Eight Arc" was forced on them by the Sci-fi channle and they didn't like it anyways.
I loved the whole, "Hi, I'm a tree..." line.
I knew the name Vivian Schilling sounded familiar to me, and then I remembered she had a novel out some years back by the name of "Sacred Prey," which I'm pretty sure I have (or had). I haven't actually read it, but according to most reviews, it's actually a decent little thriller.
“Good luck having the baby, honey; I’ve got tickets to the game.”
“You know, it’s just not death with dignity if there’s an Estevez in the room.”
(Nurses run down the corridor)
“George Clooney’s taking his shirt off!”
“Does anything really star Joe Estevez? Isn’t that kind of an oxymoron?”
“Kids today – putting their cars in reverse, backing carefully out of driveways!”
“Wow, until this moment his long hair in back completely distracted me from the fact that he’s balding in front!”
“God, he’s a catcher’s mitt with eyes!”
“I want the soul of that stuffed bunny on the window.”
“Thank you! Our hand-hewn wood CDs are available at the gate.”
“We got thrown from the car in an equidistant fashion.”
“Dummy! Didn’t you see that ‘Warning – crossing Joe Estevez’ sign?”
Sergeant: “So what do you figure the chances are of a [car] door opening by itself on impact in a head-on collision?”
Crow: “Quite good, really!”
“If I die, I’m gonna die eating String Cheese and Fruitopia!”
Tom as Robert Z’Dar, about normal-faced Joe Estevez: “Where does that guy even keep his acorns?”
“Don’t miss the terrifying water turning-offing.”
“Is there a slower-mo available?!”
“Gym sole taker!”
“Bus taker!”
Soultaker Brad: “You still haven’t figured it out, have you, man?”
Crow: “We have! Can we go?!”
Zak: “I don’t think they’re gonna fry your [rude word blanked out] for doing a good deed.”
Tom: “Eggs?”
“Don’t tongue the reaper!”
“You know, David Byrne was right: heaven really is a place where nothing ever happens!”
“It’s something Hitchcock would have been proud of: his pet chimpanzee directing.”
The Soultaker: “It’s all over now.”
Tom: “Oh, I wish that were true!”
“So your soul is subject to gravity. I have so many questions: can souls get toe fungus? Can I still have butter if I’m a soul?”
