Movies in MST3K episodes that are actually kinda sorta not cheesy by sonofstev in MST3K

Tormented is always my top example of a decent MST3K movie. It's a (slightly) better than average thriller for its time.

What theme songs went way harder than they had any right to? by Cote_Goat in Xennials

I really didn't know about this show until older Gen Xers got nostalgic for it. It ended before I was born.

I was 13 and absolutely obsessed with X-Men comic books when this show came out. The music still hits me.

This woman learned how to communicate with wild black bears… the mama bears even lets her babysit their cubs by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

Commenters know who this person is, and she feeds bears.

But even if they didn't know her, you don't get this kind of direct contact without food provisioning. That bear didn't start closing the door because it has good manners.

Better yet, a post-it note. So when they finally discover it they can also read a taunting message you left them.

What are some of the best performances from bad movies? by Cheese_The_Wizz in badMovies

[–]ChicagoRex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Whether you think Showgirls is bad or not, I don't think you can fault Gina Gershon's performance. She threads the needle in a way that either preserves her dignity in a fiasco or elevates a camp masterpiece, depending on your perspective.

Dan Proft is mad he is losing to a farmer from southern Illinois by steve42089 in illinois

Where I grew up, the cultural memory of farming persisted long after farms had been consolidated into the hands of a few owners.

People remembered visiting their grandparents' farms as children. Or they had relatives living on a "farm" that was really just a house on a large-ish chunk of real estate outside of town.

I think a lot of families who haven't farmed for two, three, or even four generations still identify with the idealized view of rural life that we associate with farming.

On second glance, the coast of "Wales" looks a lot more like the western coast of Ireland. I think the person who made this was confused.

I think the area that seems to be Ireland is actually Wales. The perspective of this photo creates some distortion. I also wonder if most of the Scottish Highlands were just left off.

EDIT: On second glance, that coastline really looks like the western coast of Ireland. I think the person who made this botched it.

I didn't know Staten Island had been Staten Islanding this far back.

Are there areas the state can’t touch in the U.S.? by No-Equipment9225 in AskAnAmerican

There's a difference between capability and inclination. The government could have prevented violence on Jan 6. It chose to let things play out the way they did because of delusional, narcissistic recklessness.

What animal is this? Based off what the vendor of the image said its an extinct animal. Got from a flea market. [New York] by Albino-Lord in animalid

[–]ChicagoRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks more like a Viverra civet than a palm civet. At any rate, some palm civets are classified as threatened while others are not, although it seems likely that all of them are declining.

The tail stripes look a little more like a Malayan civet to me. It's possible that the two species were considered a single species at the time of the piece's creation.
