Thank God for the Bots!

Ever since I first saw Mitchell with Jonathan, I've been hooked on MST3K. This has led to my trying to see or own as many of these "reworked" films as I can and subsequently listing a number of them on my wish list. This Christmas I received not only MST3K Vol.3 from Jon's dad, but Jon gave me The Essentials which has not only "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" but also Manos: The Hands of Fate. This last has been touted time and again as the best of the MST3K films...which means that the original movie is exceptionally bad.

*URK*

"Exceptionally bad" can't even begin to describe it! Joel and the bots make it semi-watchable but even for them it's a stretch! Here's a review of the original (non MST) movie. I really hope the director didn't give up his day job (which was selling fertilizer--go figure!)

Aside: Also on the "Manos" DVD was a "Poopie Reel" of outtakes: VERY FUN! We had to pause several times just to catch our breath!
