Doran! I thought of your dream job. Seriously.

[Christy B]

Okay, so there's this cable channel (don't ask me which one) that shows old movies, and there are these little silhouette figures that make smart aleky comments all the way through the movie. I don't remember the name, that's not important.

But -- wouldn't that be just the most incredibly perfect job for you? You could, like, so totally BE one of those little silhouette figures.:lol:



(or, you know, maybe a writer, if you don't really want to morph yourself into a cartoon existence)

I'm just sayin'.

MST3K?

Mystery Science Theater 3000?

Funny funny funny funny stuff.

Thanks, that was actually starting to bug me, not being able to think of the name of the show. :glare:

[Doran]

Aw, that's so sweet! You thought of me!

Maybe my real problem in life is that I shoulda been a cartoon.

p.s. Too bad I don't have cable.

Thanks to YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF5bY53jokQ) you don't need no stinkin' cable. My ds14 would be thrilled if someone revived this show.

[JennifersLost]

That's so funny - dh was watching Pride and Prejudice with me the other day and he said there needs to be a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 for all the Jane Austen films.

That would be hilarious. Go doran!

[DIY-DY]

They've got MST3K!!

Oh, that's one of the things I miss about cable. Then I read this thread and thought, "Wait a minute..." WOOHOO!

They take bad, cheesy b-rate movies and show them as though you're sitting in a theater while a guy and his robots (on a great, cheesy b-rate spaceship) are a row in front of you (you can see their silhouettes) dishing on the movie the whole time. It's stinkin' hilarious!

Check it out if you get the chance. I think you'd like it.

[Mama Lynx]

Definitely check it out. We have showed these to our children, thus guaranteeing that people who want to <em>watch a movie</em> will never watch a movie with us again.

:D

My mom had 4 daughters. She never liked MST3K because she said WE were funnier. ;) eta: after we left home she would frequently say "I watched X the other day, it was NOT as funny as I remember it being." There are a lot of people who won't watch movies with us. :tongue_smilie:
