Damn It, I Missed This One

MST3K: Teenage Crime Wave

I watched Teenage Crime Wave last night. It had been sitting on my DVR for a while (thank you Turner Classic Movies) so I fired it up. Well, it is a real piece of shit but watchable and fun as hell to heckle. While looking for a trailer for this little slice of melodrama, I find that Mystery Science Theatre 3000 already tackled this one back in 1994. Oh well, at least we can all watch this together. ALL OF US! Have a great weekend, y'all.

Here's Part 1 (the rest are on the Youtube):

A Year at the Movies

I just finished A Year at the Movies by 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' writer and voice of Tom Servo, Kevin Murphy. Murphy spent every day of 2001 in movie theaters all over the world watching films and documenting his experiences. A Year at the Movies is crazy good and an excellent read. Murphy is sarcastic, honest, self-deprecating and sentimental. There are a few places in the book that are genuinely sweet and even heartwarming. Thankfully these moments are few and far between though as Murphy takes on multiplexes, bad movies and even kidney stones in his fight for the ultimate movie experience.
