I'm a level four Vice President.

Hey, I take offense to that. All of those 300 pages of Marathe and Steeply on a mountain discussing American narcissism were absolutely essential to the story!

Don't knock my smock or I'll clean your clock.

I guess that's what he meant by "taking it to the streets."

I live in the Bible Belt, and when The Golden Compass came out, the local Baptist mega church told all the kids that the movie was atheist propaganda. So that probably cut into the box office receipts.

Dr. Robotnik/Eggman. Dr. Forrester, but not TV's Frank.

It's interesting to me how we've gotten to a point where controversies eventually become compressed into a single word, ie, "gamergate," "Benghazi," "Obmacare." If you ever hear anybody bitch about Benghazi, ask them to point to the city on a fucking map.

These were people who had no idea about the movie industry, Hollywood, different types of films, film history, Eli Roth, the context around his movie… they didn't know anything about that stuff, not because they are less intellegent than you or I but because they live in an entirely different world than we do. I doubt…

These were indigenous people who had never seen a camera or a movie before. (And the movie he showed them for the first time was "Cannibal Holocaust.") Do you really think they possibly understood what they were agreeing to? And they weren't "starring as themselves," it wasn't a documentary. He should have left them…

What? Racist murder porn isn't smart?

The edition was "The Overrated Issue," a compendium of everything overhyped from musicians to Presidents to arthouse film directors. I've since started a…

Great Job, Dad-ernet!

Nothing is creepier than young Tom Hanks being forced to eat anchovies.

Teenagers beating each other to death with minimal blood and gore. Which is almost more disturbing than realistic violence. Also, it's considered A-okay for a 13 year old to watch a Murder Contest, but if a woman's breast were to enter the screen, it'd immediately get an R rating.

I'll take "whore ads" for $200.

Jesus, that's bleak. Yeah, I'd rather have no new thing than MSTosh.0 . Maybe it's just better to let the show rest. It's such a product of the time in which it was created anyway. One thing that I love about MST is that it was very gentle and low key. And that might be hard to pull off in the era of hash tags and…

I liked the idea which Joel put forward about a reboot, featuring all new folks with guest appearances from the original cast and staff. MST3K had a youthful spirit to it throughout its run, and it flourished under two different hosts. Some new blood working within the context of the same aesthetic spirit could be…

Network late night shows in general have a median audience of 40-60. Young people might watch the youtube stuff but in general, I bet most of his viewers are probably boomers/gen exers.
