Rita's XIV: The Last DJ

[Jack Zodiac]

I made my (Canadian) mother watch that ep and she wasn't at all amused.

How could she not love it? Zap Rowsdower's like the Canadian Captain America. Or, at the very least, the Canadian Joe Don Baker.

[Gingold]

Teen Titans has been kinda good lately.And compared with Outsiders, it's Shakespeare. Outsiders is really painfully bad.

[K'Nort]

It is worse than Teen Titans.

Teen Titans has Miss Martian, which is such a good character Grant Morrison could have invented her.

Miss Martian was insanely obnoxious until the reveal.

That is a good idea if played straight.

[K'Nort]

How could she not love it? Zap Rowsdower's like the Canadian Captain America.

There was the commentary, though.

Mitchell!!

Personally, the only good thing I've seen come from the recent Teen Titans arc is the new and improved Kid Devil. He's actually pretty damn interesting, now. But the constant bitching between Cassie and Rose, the psuedo-psycho Tim, the "this ain't my Titans" Cyborg? I could do without all that garbage.

Oh, and bringing Jerry Curl back.

We'll see how that turns out.

Which is how Morrison would play it!

[ragnarok_2012]

I've completed 93 books this year!

[Brian Cronin]

I have the meanest Onslaught Reborn joke.

Too mean, really.

-Brian

[K'Nort]

True. But cameras can't fully capture what we see with the naked eye.

And smell.

I'm not a nature person overall (kinda overdosed on it growing up in Alaska) but I do like fresh air.

[ragnarok_2012]

Mitchell!!

I've been re-watching old MST3K episodes this past week.

Including Mitchell.

God, I miss that show.

[K'Nort]

But the constant bitching between Cassie and Rose, the psuedo-psycho Tim, the "this ain't my Titans" Cyborg? I could do without all that garbage.

It's like a damn Marvel book!

[Jack Zodiac]

Miss Martian was insanely obnoxious until the reveal.

That is a good idea if played straight.

Aw, even if she had been just another Green Martian, I thought she was funny and cute. Althought the big surprise made her a whole lot more interesting. Hopefully she'll stick around, because given the current state of superheroines in the DCU, we could use a quirky Silver Age idea like her.

Mitchell!!

Actually! My girlfriend's brother is moving to California tomorrow afternoon. So tonight, even though I have to work at five in the morning, we're gonna' watch his favorite MST, which is everyone's favorite drunk hooker-screwin' cop, "Mitchell!" :p

[howyadoin]

And he can spell.He can spell better than curefreak, maybe. But he still can't do it for shit.

[ragnarok_2012]

Jack, if it were my choice I'd probably have us watching Riding With Death or Prince of Space.

[Jack Zodiac]

Compared with OMAC, it's Morrison.

-Brian

Ah, Bruce Jones. One more writer in the "couldn't write his way out of a nutsack" column.

[Merey]

I've completed 93 books this year!

I use to keep a log of all the books I've read, just so I'd remember it but I stopped keeping track. That's a shame. I have actually re-read a book not realizing I'd read it before until the very end.

[Gingold]

Oh, and bringing Jerry Curl back.

We'll see how that turns out.

I like Miss Martian. And the bitching/soap opera stuff generally isn't my bag, but it's pretty much required for a Teen Titans book, so it doesn't bother me. Things are actually happening in the title, which is a plus for a DC team book these days.

[kmeyers]

No such thing as too mean. Doing Onslaught Reborn is mean enough.

[ragnarok_2012]

I've been in a biography/memoir mood lately.

I've read something like 5 or 6 of them since Dragon*Con.

[K'Nort]

I've been re-watching old MST3K episodes this past week.

Including Mitchell.

God, I miss that show.

I introduced Gus to it. (Along with Red Dwarf.) I have dozens of tapes, mostly three episodes per.

My favourite is an obscure one : Design for Dreaming (short) / Twelve to the Moon.

[Jack Zodiac]

Jack, if it were my choice I'd probably have us watching Riding With Death or Prince of Space.

"Riding With Death," aka, "The show "Gemini Man" was such total shit, we condensed a bunch of episodes into an hour and a half movie and tried to sell that instead." :p Great MST, truly horrible movie. My favorite movie was "Rebel Set," because the film itself was actually pretty good, but they still found so many ways to make fun of it. Still, hands down, best MST ever... "Final Sacrifice."

My girlfriend and her dad are MST nuts, and most nights when we don't have anything better to do, we sit down and watch a couple. In sequence, usually, but tonight we're taking a break for a true classic. :p

[K'Nort]

Aw, even if she had been just another Green Martian, I thought she was funny and cute.

Cute? Baby ducks are cute! I hate cute!

Yeah, I'll give it that. It's much more interesting than, say, Supergirl, which was so stale I had to ditch it. The only other teen hero book I really enjoy is Blue Beetle. That one turned out to be a surprisingly good read, with equally great art.

[Jack Zodiac]

Cute? Baby ducks are cute! I hate cute!

*licks lips*

But I loooooooooooove baby ducks.

[K'Nort]

Big Fish! I actually just watched it again the other day. I hope I haven't overhyped it for you.

I actually came across the book the other day when doing a large print order so I threw it in.

It didn't originally grab me as an idea, but I put it in my NetFlix queue a while back based mainly on your raves.

[Jack Zodiac]

I don't think Morrison invented her, though.

-Brian

Actually, come to think of it, I remember an interview at Newsarama with the artist about how he and Geoff eventually figured out how to make her look the way she does. Y'know, a green Sailor Moon. :p Either way, Morrison character/idea or not, it's one of the better OYL gifts.

Well, I'm really in trouble if it sucks now, aren't I. That's two people who will think my taste in movies is no good if it doesn't deliver.

[Gingold]

My father-in-law is installing a programable thermostat and fixing various other stuff around the apartment. I get to get him stuff to drink and hold the tools for him. I feel so useless.

Rita's started a few days earlier than X-Cres, yet it's almost 140 posts behind.

Shameful.

Sorry, Brian. In penance, I'll post the best photo I took last night (since my hands are shaky with caffiene jitters):

[K'Nort]

Okay, Jeff just reminded me I had a question on the Joker avatar thing. For most of the time, didn't curefreak have a Huntress avatar?

[Jack Zodiac]

"Hi, I'm Ben Murphy."

Nowhere near as funny as, "Hi, I'm Max Keller, and this is how I usually leave a bar." Cut to a douchebag with a mullet getting tossed through a window.

"Hi, I'm Timothy Van Patten. Me and Lee Van Cleef have virtually no careers whatsoever, but someone was stupid enough to put time, money, and effort into trying to make use TV stars, and somehow Demi Moore got springboarded into success despite this shitstain on her career. Go fig!"

[Gingold]

Okay, Jeff just reminded me I had a question on the Joker avatar thing. For most of the time, didn't curefreak have a Huntress avatar?

That's right. I think we can trace his snapping to his adoption of the Joker avatar.

Yep, when he signed on until...the unfortunate time, it was Huntress.

Master Ninja. Ooooh.

[Jack Zodiac]

Yep, another classic. Far more great MSTs than boring ones. Any show that can make Sandy Frank and Roger Corman movies fun to watch is pure fuckin' gold.

While I am very happy that Jim Rugg is getting major studio attention (and let me gloat again about having a very awesome page of original Street Angel art), I'd certainly be happier if he was on a book that actually appeals to me. And is writing it too, of course.

And Jeff, you were right. But since YOU'RE too old to have an opinion, I stayed well away.

That can't be Winnick's idea, because that's so massively cooler than anything he's done since he started at DC.

Shit, that almost makes me want to give TITANS a look.

The old version was clean shaven, and hair slicked right back and pulled tight.

[Michael P]

Funnily enough, I just watched The Giant Spider Invasion.

"Ma'am, this is not the purpose of 911."

Also, you know what would be a really innovative Titans story? One where they enjoy their lives.

Is that the one with Alan Hale? They did two spider movies and I can't keep them straight.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Also, you know what would be a really innovative Titans story? One where they enjoy their lives.

Yeah, that's why I said I'm *almost* tempted to give TITANS a look, but I probably won't, because I'm tired of the Emo League of America.

[ragnarok_2012]

"I can't imagine ever needing Alan Hale for anything."

Oh, and Rifftrax rocks.

I picked up the Matrix Rifftrax commentary track this past weekend, and it's hillarious.

Mike Nelson & Kevin Murphy covering the Matrix!

[Michael P]

He was in both of them, actually. The first one was an old black and white, and he was a sherriff's deputy. The second was in the '70s, and he was the sherriff.

[ragnarok_2012]

I was talking with Mike Smash a couple days ago about MST3K. We hardly have any episodes in common (expepting Mitchell).

He kept telling me how much the Pod People rocked, and I can barely remember that one. I think it's got this Alf wannabee character, and that's about it.

[K'Nort]

I remember that one as being really lame. In that the movie was really terrible and dull and they just couldn't redeem it comments-wise. Like it sucked all the life out of them.

Pod People was a great episode. True, the movie was shite, but I loved the comments ("She's Zestfully dead!"), and they had one of the greatest host segments ever ("Music From Some Guys In Space.")

So after an abomnible day at work (customers are such fun) I get bailed up by two pious assholes wearing Jews for Jesus t-shirts. They caught me looking at their ridiculous garb and engaged in an asinine conversation about what my beliefs are. My shortened fuse was cut even shorter when they wouldn't take no for an answer. When I snapped, I went into a tirade...I don't know exactly what I said except for a crack about being a Jew for Jesus is like being a Prostitute for monagamy but they were a might offended.

Mitchell

Nothing beats watching Joe Don Baker chug Schlitz, lazily fuck Linda Evans, and get browbeaten by an eight year old.

"How do ya' take your Scotch, Mitchell?"

By the quart.

[Jack Zodiac]

That can't be Winnick's idea, because that's so massively cooler than anything he's done since he started at DC.

Shit, that almost makes me want to give TITANS a look.

It's pretty cool, but until she actually joins the team and gets her character fleshed out, I wouldn't recommend picking the book up again. Especially if you dropped it because you didn't like what was going on with it. Johns hasn't done much more with it, really, except for resurrecting the Doom Patrol (which, I'm pretty damn sure, was probably Grant's idea anyway). Whenever Miss Martian starts appearing regularly, it might be worth it.

[Jack Zodiac]

How far are they with that now, and have the Big Three finished their stupid "let's pick our teammates and think snippy comments about each other" party yet?

If you count the zero issue, four issues. In four issues, not only did Morrison manage to cement the new League, while totally nailing each character's personality, he had them ward off a ridiculously powerful threat and, in the process, invented an awesome idea that's been used several times since.

Pace? What pace?

There was buzz about a "Torgo: On Ice" somewhere a while back. :p That movie was horrendous. You really, honestly felt like you were standed in space watching a horrible fucking trainwreck of a movie you couldn't look away from. But it spawned one of the coolest recurring characters on the SOL. Torgo the Soul Taker was hilarious.

And the movie itself was fuckin' cursed. The guy that played Torgo. Suicide. The two kids making out in the car. Suicide. The director/protagonist. Heart attack shortly after "Manos" was dug out of some dusty box in Arizona and sent to the boys from MST. Cursed.

Okay, Jeff just reminded me I had a question on the Joker avatar thing. For most of the time, didn't curefreak have a Huntress avatar?


Oddly enough, the Joker avatar was just for that week's trickster/prankster contest. It acheived infamy as the week of his final breakdown and will remain his permanent avatar.

It also didn't win the contest.

He also decided later that the devil would have been a better idea, and was very proud of his "devil avatar" idea.

[Jack Zodiac]

Ok now I see where paradox and fore have really gone, City of Heroes, I can feel myself getting sucked in again as well.

Issue Eight, bitch! Trenchcoats, wings, and respecs out the ass. Oh! And a permanent Nemesis Staff in about a month. Awesome.

Trumpy? The ALF that kills!

I've gotta agree with Mike Smash.

Joe Lieberman looks like the Dad from Alf.

Man, lame, Rita's! LAME!!!

Rrwwwl! Lookin' good! I love the beard.

I told you!!! It works really, really well!

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

I like you.


People seem to say that about him all the time here.

No wait... they don't.

[Jack Zodiac]

I like him... but I also liked "The Two Jakes," and "Godfather III," so...

[Brian Cronin]

Godfather III was a good movie.

The Two Jakes was not, though.

-Brian

[ragnarok_2012]

Wow, I own MST3K's Red Zone Cuba on VHS.

How did I forget that?

[Chris Nowlin]

Man, lame, Rita's! LAME!!!

Sorry, but some of us like to consider what we say and only post if we have something to contribute to the conversation. Not just to up the number of posts on a thread.

Some of us have standards.

Yay! 684 posts!

[Jack Zodiac]

Wow, I own MST3K's Red Zone Cuba on VHS.

How did I forget that?

The only good Roger Corman movie is a forgotten Roger Corman movie.

Also, me too. I've got every VHS and DVD Rhino's released... but I also own the entire series ripped onto DVDs, 'cause I gotta, y'know... "keep circulating the tapes."

[Brian Cronin]

I guess you folks needed me to show you how a march to 5,000 is done.

Fair enough.

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

Red Zone Cuba probably has my favorite MST3K line of all time - "Bobby, you take Havana."

[Brian Cronin]

Bob Dylan's theme time radio hour had a great theme the other day - it was the Thanksgiving episode, so it had leftovers from previous shows!

Clever, thy name is Dylan!

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

So let me get this straight - Rebacca Donaldson is a succesful TV reporter - and she lives in an attic apartment with her husband and two kids?

How messed up is THAT?

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

How long do you think it took the producers to come up with the idea of Fonzie living over the Cunningham's garage?

And do you think they all knew it was genius when they came up with it?

Do you think Paul Newman's character ever gets back together with the bitch in the Verdict?

What song is your favorite song to be featured in a John Wayne film?

North to Alaska would be a popular choice, but I'm honestly not sure myself.

[Brian Cronin]

Who is the worst actor/actress to have a major role in a great film?

I'm going with Victor Mature in My Darling Clementine.

He was awful.

[Brian Cronin]

When do you think the best time is for a band to have a self-titled album?

Debut?

Or later on?

The only good Roger Corman movie is a forgotten Roger Corman movie.


Suit yourself.

Gonna deny a lot of talent though.

[Brian Cronin]

What was the explanation for the Klingons looking so different later on?

There was some reason given, wasn't there?

Was it awful, like a Johns-ian thing?

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

You know what's sad?

Manhunter may be the last (non-Morrison) good character from DC until Miss Martian.

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

Of the Power Pack, who do you think has the best chance of getting a DUI when they're older?

You'd think Jack, but I think that the pressures of life might get to Julie or Alex, and I could see Alex being stubborn enough not to admit he was drunk.

Worf said something like - we don't like to talk about that

[Brian Cronin]

Do you think Mark Bagley regrets his Ultimate Green Goblin design now?

I know I sure do.

[Brian Cronin]

Anyone read the latest Ultimate Spider-Man?

How cool was the Ultimate Spider-Woman reveal?

I posit VERY COOL!

I recall it being mentioned in the DS9 where they travelled back to the Tribbles episode. When prodded, Worf seemed ashamed and said they didn't like to talk about it.

Oh, you weren't serious? Damn.

[Brian Cronin]

Who do you think is the most famous actor only to be identified by other people by their screen name?

Last time this was discussed, we came up with Frank from Murphy Brown.

Anyone better?

I love the beginning of that series and everything about it except:

a) they fucked up the burglar scene. ARRGH!

b) the Green Goblin. ARRRGH!

But yes, Green Goblin looks awful.

Bob Dylan once said that he thought Mannfred Mann did the best covers of his songs.

I think he is probably wrong, as Hendrix has two-three kickass covers, but it's interesting to hear Dylan credit them.

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

Have you ever listened to the Beatles Christmas albums for their fan club?

It's weird listening to them in order because you can hear them become less and less normal as the albums progress.

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

I think it was silly to give Dick Grayson the Batman costume just for an arc.

It seemed like a silly fan wank thing to do.

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

My pal Johnny Triangles claims that Dick Grayson never won fights as soon as Wolfman began to write him.

Does that sound accurate to you?

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

What do you think was the best performance by a musician acting in a film?

Probably one of Bowie's performances, I bet.

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

Do you think that the "You had me at hello" scene was overly cutesy and staged?

I will admit - I liked it.

Some other people differ with me - but they must be wrong, right?

-Brian

[howyadoin]

Jeez, Brian really wants to wrap this one up tonight, huh?

How am I supposed to get any painting done?

[Chris Nowlin]

How did they mess up the burglar scene? I don't even recall it now, to be frank.

But yes, Green Goblin looks awful.

-Brian


I'll try not to geek out and rant.

Jemas didn't want it to happen at the wrestling event because it was "too much of a coincidence" to then have the burglar appear in another part of NY to shoot Ben. Like it wasn't a coincidence anyway!

So they had the burglar robbing a storefront near Peter's house. Peter was walking by. He let the burglar pass.

The shopkeeper yells at him! Kid, why didn't you just stick your foot out?!

I mean, sure, Peter could have done something. Point still there.

But in the original, he's dressed as Spidey. Obviously he could have done something. Why the cop yelled at him.

Here, he's a 14 year old kid. What kind of storekeep yells at a 14 year old kid for not attacking an armed thug. I mean, what the hell were they thinking? ARRRGH!

[Brian Cronin]

How come Cameron Crowe's book about his time going undercover at a high school is not in print?

Him being Spidey IS pretty important to the scene.

What city do you think has been featured the most on TV shows while not being a MAJOR city?

Seattle

[Brian Cronin]

Wait - Elizabethtown was by Cameron Crowe, right?

Ouch.

That was a big stepdown from his other films.

I still basically liked it, though.

Well, it had been a while (an issue) since someone but Bruce had put on the Batman suit.

I think it was because they got a lot of complaints that Batman chose Azrael over Dick to take over.

[Brian Cronin]

Seattle

or Baltimore

Yeah, those were my two choices, too.

-Brian

But it was RIGHT after Knight's End, and EVERYONE knew Bruce was coming right back! They practically had Bruce's return solicited already!

-Brian

I actually am not sure what the name is going to be.

I have two options.

-Brian

[morna]

how's about Dune?

He was just in The Prestige, and he rocked the house with his performance as Tesla.

How come Cameron Crowe's book about his time going undercover at a high school is not in print?

from what I heard, it was supposed to be installments for Rs, but they weren't giving the time of day to the project, so he turned it into a movie.

[Brian Cronin]

I was watching a show counting down the funniest movies of all-time.

It was quite disheartening.

The Wedding SInger was #8.

eeeeu (although to be fair I never saw it)

[Brian Cronin]

Imagine trying to watch TV with me!

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

I think you can be relatively assured that The Wedding Singer would not reasonably be considered the #8 funniest movie of all time. :)

Is the dude from Say Anything a popular cult figure around fighting enthusiasts?

[Chris Nowlin]

I liked him a lot as Tesla. I have very mixed feelings about the Prestige. I think I liked the ideas they were dancing around and about halfway through I decided I would probably love the movie and set my expectations for the end too high.

Bowie was cool. But Labyrinth is still the first thing that pops into my head if someone mentions movies.

[Brian Cronin]

I think I, too, will judge a film I've never seen just based on guesses.

Turistas - I think this film will be bad.

-Brian

[morna]

well, no, I can tell that without having to put myself through the agony of actually watching it

What dude would that be?

[Brian Cronin]

Oh, and Scarlett J was in the Prestige, and she was in a Bob Dylan music video, so that has to help the film's...ahem...prestige. :)

The music video, by the way, was soooo lame. They chose the most boring song on the album to be the music video. Brilliant idea, guys!

-Brian

[Chris Nowlin]

I think you can be relatively assured that The Wedding Singer would not reasonably be considered the #8 funniest movie of all time. :)

While I haven't seen it, I can imagine this is true. They probably didn't even have the Wrong Box. Now that's a funny movie.

[mattbib]

What dude would that be?John Cusack?

[Brian Cronin]

What dude would that be?

John Cusack's character - who wants to be a professional kickboxer. And since this was in 1989, that was a pretty early mention of kickboxing in mainstream film!

-Brian

[Brian Cronin]

While I haven't seen it, I can imagine this is true. They probably didn't even have the Wrong Box. Now that's a funny movie.

Red Zone Cuba was Coleman Francis. Although your maxim works for him, too.

[Chris Nowlin]

I loved how they had to explain everything to the audience.

-Brian

So I'm actually confused by the ending.

Michale Caine was reprising his speech about the audience not really wanting to know the answer in the very final scene and I got the impression they were going to reveal something. Then they showed the bodies in the tanks. But we already knew that. What was the point of the final scene? Was it just in case it somehow wasn't clear he was duplicating himself?

[Brian Cronin]

What's the coolest change that you have read from a written story into a film?

I think mine is the end of The Grapes of Wrath. I know it basically totally changes the ending of the book, but I LIKE it, consarnit!

[howyadoin]

How come Cameron Crowe's book about his time going undercover at a high school is not in print?Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

It probably has less Spicoli in it.

I swear, that addle-pated twit is the least interesting character in the film, but it's his drugged-out retard face that gets slapped on the DVD boxes. There is no God.

What's weird is that I seriously don't know what I'm gonna call the next one.

I guess you guys can decide.

I think it's odd that Starsky & Hutch season 1 has been out on dvd for awhile now, but Mission: Impossible Season 1 will be coming out like next month.

Why on Earth didn't they tie it's release to the premiere of Mission: Impossible II or III?

[howyadoin]

Do you know who is seriously underrated?

The late, great Ronnie Lane.

Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood obviously get all the attention, but I think he was what made the Faces a great band.

For instance, Eric Clapton has a bunch of albums by himself.

He also had an album he did with Ronnie Lane.

Would you count that album in his total?

-Brian

[howyadoin]

The late, great Ronnie Lane.

Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood obviously get all the attention, but I think he was what made the Faces a great band.Couldn't agree more. Stellar talent there, and he never got anywhere near the recognition or success he deserved.

[mattbib]

I think Happy Gilmore is my favorite Sandler movie. Or maybe Big Daddy. He really CAN'T act. He's the same guy in every film. But at least Happy Gilmore had Bob Barker.

[Brian Cronin]

Couldn't agree more. Stellar talent there, and he never got anywhere near the recognition or success he deserved.

Re-listening to their albums, as good as Stewart is, he pales in comparison to the Lane songs on the albums.

They were amazing.

And while Stay With Me was a huge hit, I think Ooh La La was their best song (as the Faces, at least).

-Brian

oh god I despise Sandler - why oh why is he in every fucking film anymore - drives me nuts

[howyadoin]

That is hilarious.

I SORTA get why a movie to TV would be different, but TV to syndicated TV being different?!?!Something to do with the actual recording medium, if I remember correctly. They can still run it with the original music on TV, but not on DVD, 'cause they'd have to pay much higher royalties for that format.

I think.

[Brian Cronin]

I think Happy Gilmore is my favorite Sandler movie. Or maybe Big Daddy. He really CAN'T act. He's the same guy in every film. But at least Happy Gilmore had Bob Barker.

Cougar can't direct a picture to save his life. He has all the subtily of an elephant taking a piss.

He'll have a bunch of stupid, beautiful people run around the jungle, trying to get away from the villian, most preferably talking in a british accent.

Don't believe me? Watch Into The Blue and Blue Crush.

I have a special hate reserved for Blue Crush. Racist piece of crap.

[howyadoin]

I think Ooh La La was their best song (as the Faces, at least).Great tune. One of my all-time favourites.

[Brian Cronin]

It was played when Fast Times was on Comedy Central a few days ago.

That is great to hear!

I guess Browne's demands fell down as time went by. ;)

Oh, Jackson Browne was once asked to name his 5 favorite albums, and THREE of them were Dylan albums!!

-Brian

[kmeyers]

I think Happy Gilmore is my favorite Sandler movie. Or maybe Big Daddy. He really CAN'T act. He's the same guy in every film. But at least Happy Gilmore had Bob Barker.
Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison are pretty much the same, so I'll go with those.
