S.F. Theater 3000 is now out on video disks. Go for the first two seasons, before they changed the cast.

thanks, I'm not real observant these days.

"My name's not Michael Jackson."

"Watch out for his long pointy thing" (in reference to his sword) ; )

"Doobie, doobie, doobie, doobie"

Mad Movies, circa 1987, from a Danny Kaye movie The Inspector General

I assume you mean Mystery Science Theater 3000. Loved their hilarious version of This Island Earth. When scientist Russell Johnson (later Gilligan's Island's Professor) walked past, the MST guys had him grumble angrily "What's that "and the rest" crap??!!!"

Titantic has my vote for cheeziest movie ever. I hated every moment of it. Especially at the end when the girl is an old woman. The things they made the old actress say were not worthy of a descent film.

Face it. Neither the lines nor the actors uttering them were the attraction or the stars of Titanic... it was the fantastic set and special effects.

One of the other fascinating aspects was the casting of the named crew members. In almost every case, the actors playing the roles are near dead ringers for the original crewmen. It was a subtle touch that only a Titanic Fanatic would notice... but then I have been fascinated by the hubris inherent in the Titanic story since I read Walter Lord's A Night to Remember when I was 10 years old in 1959.

Favorite part of that movie, watching DiCaprio sink like a frozen turkey.

Like?

[Dan from Michigan]

Didn't watch it, but I'd probably cheer.

I still don't understand why they had DiCaprio portray an Irishman in "Gangs of New York".

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Favorite part of that movie, watching DiCaprio sink like a frozen turkey.

Yeah? You didn't have to listen to the young teenage girls crying in the lobby after the movie asking, "Why didn't she move over so that he could climb up?"...

[Ditter]

I guess that is it. I care nothing for special effects and man made sets. It's all about the story and the acting for me. The story of the two lovers seemed trumped up, not real and the acting was awful. She appeared to be 28 years old and he looked 16.

Dennis Hopper in "Apocalypse Now": "He likes to be with his peee-pulll!"

[Swordmaker]

She appeared to be 28 years old and he looked 16.

She was 18 when filming started on Titanic and he was 21... must be his boyish good looks and her starting to get jowly at a young age.

The story of the Titanic is so compelling that they think they can toss any old potboiler of a plot into that setting and let the ship carry the story. The sad thing is that there are so many TRUE and compelling stories of the real people who either survived or died. Its a shame they had to create one that was neither.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Ok, he was a frozen turkey.

[RosieCotton]

;-)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I clapped and cheered. And I was undoubtedly lucky to make it out alive.

I think the tears blurred their vision enough that they were unable to identify me.

The next to best part was my date saying afterwords, "So I guess you aren't fond of chick flicks?"

IMHO if a movie does not have a decent plot it should at least have guns, space ships and explosions.

[Dan from Michigan]

As a turkey hunter, that's an insult. At least there's a very good use for turkeys.

How about "He sunk like John Kerry's campaign." There. That's better.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Turkey good.

Only 26 days until Spring Turkey Application.
