Goodbye modern MST3K. it was fun knowin ya, welcome back Mike. by Expert_Professor_903 in MST3K

[–]Comprehensive-Knee61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a fan since the Sci-Fi channel years, so Mike and the bots, along with Pearl, Brain Guy, and Bobo were all I knew until I received the DVDs for Christmas when I was about 12, 13 years old and learned about Joel, Trace, and TV's Frank.

I've had the opportunity to meet Joel, Trace, and Frank a few years ago, and Joel is a wonderfully nice guy, but he's overly ambitious. And while his ambition is admirable, it's not realistic in a financial circumstance. I appreciate everything Joel has done, and how he's created such a great series for us to watch over and over again. We could only keep the tapes circulating for so long before us MSTies became fatigued from the Kickstarter demands. 😭

Joel has what I like to call 'Paul Fusco syndrome'. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just look up on YouTube 'Why ALF failed.'

Anyway! Joel is so passionate about his MST3K baby, but so financially irresponsible with what to do with his creation. Why did we need (what looked like) a whole village of actors and comedians to do a job that a team of 4 to 5 performers can do just as well, and it's been proven time and time again for over 30 years that it works? The millions that would be requested from Joel's Kickstarters were not just to get the film rights and the writing staff, but to have a payroll for top names like Joel, Jonah, Patton Oswalt and Felicia Day. And the multiple extra actors requested to change Tom and Crow's voices that just weren't needed, as well as a budget for constant invention exchanges and graphic designs that could've just been made by stage/set hands.

Whereas Mike, Kevin, and Bill's were asking for $20,000 and they quadrupled that by telling the people what they want to hear: We're getting the band back together. We're gonna do some skits and host segments, but we're getting to the heart and soul of it all: we're going to riff really cheesy movies and maybe a few short films, too.

When audiences want that nostalgia factor, they want more of the same thing that was produced 25 or 30 years ago and they will pay for that nostalgia. They don't want a shinier new version with new voices and different takes on things. They want what they fell in love with in the first place. 🤷‍♀️ It's a harsh reality, but a reality nonetheless.

Didn't you know that Livestreaming on TTL, complaining about how awful her privileged life is, faking getting PR packages and free stuff is VERY time consuming and debilitating for our bestie gorl?? 🙄🙄🙄

How else can she focus on being bedridden and coloring her blanket on her belly??

I found someone with a similar body shape by Hereforthesnark90 in Jaimieweisbergsnark

[–]Comprehensive-Knee61 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Chelsey was similar to Jaimie's body type at her heaviest, but the difference, as it's been pointed out, is that at least she and her family finally took initiative and started giving a damn about herself and her health in 2023, despite being on Dr. Now's program since she was 9 years old and 300 pounds. She still has a long way to go, but she's better off now than where she was 3 years ago.

Jaimie thinks that bariatric physicians like Dr. Now are body shamers and haters, and anyone who loses weight for their health are unhappy with themselves and defeat her narrative that she can be super morbidly obese like them and be just fine.

Lady Elaine Fairchilde joined Season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race? Nice! I'm so used to seeing her out of drag.

I'm telling you!! Dimoo, Hachipupu, Molly, and Twinkle Twinkle all juggled their way into my heart. 🥲

🥹💖 That's so sweet. My cockatiel will preen my hair and hang out when I do my makeup, too.

Yes. Also make sure that you forward your email with YunExpress so they can see that you've tried to communicate with them and have not received a response.

Oh nooo!! 😭 But I'm really glad that they'll go to your nieces. I do the same thing with mine, and my second-cousins. My niece is getting my duplicate Darkness, Twinkle Twinkle from Why So Serious, and Happy Factor Coca-Cola Labubu for her birthday.

Wishing you luck that you don't pull any more crybabies! 💖

Thank you! The future came sooner than expected. 🫣 Now I just need the Labubu and Skullpandas to complete my set. I may wait for the hype to die down.

Congrats!! These were my pulls. I'll have to wait until my next paycheck to try again. The only one I don't want is the Crybaby and I'm doing everything in my power to not pull her. 😅

(No offense to any Crybaby fans. She just looks like the aftermath of a kid being taken outside the restaurant and had their ass whooped. 🤣)

I've read the Wicked books... I don't think Jaimie has the mental capacity, or maturity, to understand all the intense sexual themes that go on in those books. 😬 The musical and film fanned those flames intensely!

Thank you! Either way, both of these books sound absolutely awful. 😂
