The problem with the idea, though, is exactly what these writers ran into: coming up with a clear set of rules for wandering souls. Like, your voice can't be heard, but you can press an elevator button? How is that right? It was like Plot Convenience Theater all over the place (trying to remember what MST3K that line came from, but one of my favorites of theirs!)<br /><br /><i>Werewolf</i> is a great idea for a future MST3K post too, and one I hadn't remembered to think of, so thanks for that. Seasons 9 and 10 really have a lot of great DTVC fodder. As far as other Estevez flicks, I forgot I'd wanted to do <i>Zero Boys</i> for some time now, and <i>Double Blast</i> with Linda Blair, which has unfortunately been very difficult to find. Estevez will be a gift that keeps on giving for a long time to come, I'm just surprised I haven't taken more advantage of him to this point.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-49842602074695334342011-03-20T02:57:14.052-04:002011-03-20T02:57:14.052-04:00I can totally buy Mike and the Bots theory about t...I can totally buy Mike and the Bots theory about this being a vanity project for the lead actress/writer. It just has that feel to it throughout.<br /><br />I never tire of faux-Jim McMahon's line "Zeppelin was wrong man, there is no stairway to heaven". That's some deep, deep stuff right there.<br /><br />Another great Joe Estevez MST3K venture is WEREWOLF, which also give you the greatness of Richard Lynch and a bunch of Europeans trying to sound American. It's fantastic.Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-31301872815674614602011-03-20T00:24:09.448-04:002011-03-20T00:24:09.448-04:00For me this sucked even the MST3K episode.
