>>Continuing on the Misting of good movies, what are some good movies people
>>have so misted?

	When Return of the Jedi aired on network TV this summer, my
apartmentmates and I had a good time MiSTing it.  Since we'd all seen
it many times already, 1) nobody minded the distraction and 2) we
could anticipate the lines.  We mostly stuck to easy running gags like
Admiral Akbar (the fish) being distracted by night crawlers and Lando
Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) neutralizing imperials with Colt 45
Malt Liquor ("Works every time..."), but we managed to keep ourselves
rolling on the floor.  (respectfully, of course)
	Unfortunately, MiSTing can sometimes be a social disease, as
when the faction who'd voted against watching Walter Koenig's
"Moontrap" at a SF pizza party got even with the rest of us by MiSTing
it (rather poorly, I might add; MiSTing in real time is quite
difficult, and out of courtesy shouldn't be attempted if anyone
present actually wants to hear the movie).  Although I was one of the
principle annoyees, I have to admit that I myself got off the best
line: Walter Koenig & co. have just walked into a chamber on the moon
filled with human skeletons and released a woman from hibernation.
The woman (who doesn't speak) looks at all the skeletons, walks up to
one, and removes a bracelet from its arm, her face filled with sorrow.
I break the silence with "So you're single, then?"  Sometimes I slay
me. :-)

I remember that they DO say "The Cave of Dr. Calamari," but that doesn't mean
that they read rec.arts.comics or have even heard of Suicide Squid.  Consid-
ering that the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a pretty well-known film (very
well known by MST reference standards) and that Calamari is a fitting reference
considering our giant leech characters, I don't think it's that much of a
coincidence.

Besides, you know how the Brains feel about us obsessive comic book collectors.

I'm also not aware of the routine in question, but I could swear that

	Actually, given rate regulation, I would expect there to be
less incentive for cable companies to spend money to expand their
offerings-- though not zero, since they'll still want to expand their
customer pool.  And, of course, they may substitute less expensive
channels for more expensive ones in an effort to economize.  I don't
know where Comedy Central fits in on that scale.

This past weekend I ate something for dinner that sounded like the doors
opening........


(stoopid joke)

Was I the only one that totaly lost track of "Tormented"??  There are some
films that are SO bad that only Joel and the 'bots can help maintain the
viewer's sanity.  I got lost on "Tormented" about 10 mintes into it.
Simon   :anity- I got lost on tormented about 10 minutes into it.
