Mystery Science Theater 3000 s1e01 - the crawling eye



So I felt this blog was getting a bit lonely, not to worry though since while we're away all kinds of wondrous and puke inducing musical and videological happenings are taking place.

Yesterday I began a love affair with this old late 80'/early 90's show which is basically some dude and 2 puppet robots talking shit about terrible movies they watch. Kinda resonates on some meta-cosmic level if a guy and 2 puppet bandmate brothers were to take the piss out of a movie that was also having the piss taken out of it by a dude and his 2 puppet robots. So I'm going to campaign at the next board meeting for this series to feature prominently in future movie nights.

As for the movie itself I now feel like old shitty movies are great since it's always so amusing how they manage to create their special effects, they're just straight up legit. Also the crawling eye dudes reminded me of the mastermind unit from yuri's revenge aka the sickest multiplayer RTS experience of my previous 14 year old life. But by the same token I guess it makes me realise how boring and shitty movies that were non-shitty then are now since they don't have any latex brain monsters destroying miniature hillsides and it's just people being boring and old in black and white.
