Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (Widescreen)

It wasn't until I started dating The Boyfriend that I had ever heard about Mystery Science Theater 3K. I think the day I told him I had no idea what a Mystery Science Theater was we watch Manos the Hands of Fate episode. After that I was hooked, and it was a no brainer that I had to add this movie to the 365 Movie Challenge.

After having watched the movie:

I loved Manos the Hands of Fate, and I loved this movie just as much. Although I have to say that I don't imagine I could ever really watch the movies featured in the show without the added commentary. It's the kind of commentary that you welcome in bad movies, but not during the Super Bowl or perhaps more important than the game but the Super Bowl Commercials. The movie reminds me of the commentary with Showgirls, which is really the only real way to watch that movie.

Final thoughts: After watching an episode of the TV show and the movie, I kind of want to kick myself for not watching or even knowing about the series before now. I don't know what it is but there's something to be sad for bad movies that are so bad, they're good. This one is great the same way The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is great.
