"Again, 99% of the time, players are standing fucking still."
Every bit as true of football, and no one complains about that for some reason.

Bill Cullen died not long after, if I recall.

And going back further in cartoons and radio, Bud Collyer had a very long career.

Why is Superman a Protestant? His story is the Moses story.

"cashless society, environmental collapse, sterility plague"
I don't see how any of those things are sci-fi elements. None of them have to do with using science nore advanced than ours. The book is a dystopian fantasy if you want to call it that, yes.

"A couple of years back, we had an absolutely gorgeous but clearly dumb as a stump local news guy on the NYC affiliates who was clearly ear-marked for bigger things"
This made me think you were talking about Lauer, till you got to the rest of it.

Am I the only one who thought a juicer is something that squeezes food items, and not something that opens bags?

Easily.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to Bart Fargo's comment. Never mind.

I'd be curious to know in what way you think Bart Fargo's account of the Reagan years is distorted. I was an adult then. Were you? The ideas that gained traction during those years have been eroding the values America previously stood for ever since. Sometimes "them" are actually bad.

Like because O'Reilly will return to the air somewhere in 3 days?

I think the reason we're not seeing shorts is that the episodes are a few minutes shorter than even the late Sci-Fi ones (TV syndication planned, maybe?) and the movies are "newer" full-length ones as opposed to the 70-minute black and white B-movies they used to do.

He also used a lot more silhouette gags in Cinematic Titanic. This whole thing feels to me like a merging of CT and MST3K.

I meant his normal voice.

To me, Jonah sounds a lot like Josh Weinstein.

The New Perry Mason wasn't that bad.

I've seen half of the first episode, and I don't hate it. It reminds me of the first episode of Cinematic Titanic, where they were a little too enthusiastic and pop-jolly with the riffs. It's nice to see old pop culture references return to MST3K, after the dearth of them during the Sci-Fi years.

Bewitched. I saw it in a brewpub theater and, even with the availability of beer and food to offset the terribleness of the movie, walked out.

The Tragic Moments figurines from The Beast from Another Planet is the funniest host segment to me.
