The demo version of Weezer's "Haunt You Every Day" from their album Make Believe.

Why this version of the track was rejected in favor of Ric Ocasek's overproduced work is beyond me. The overlapping voices for the final chorus is ERRYTHING.

BOLD? WELL HELL YES IT'S BOLD!

It just dawned on me… this whole movie is just Arch Oboler’s photodump.

Don’t look, it’s embarrassing!

Snoopy and the Red Baron for the Atari 2600.

Loved the hell out of this game way back when. Still do. I need to make it a point to give this a run sometime.

Time to become a Castleton snob!

(I loooooooove this episode!)

Awwwww... :)

They even push the button to roll the end credits together!

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY MST3K TURKEY DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE :D

[mst3kgifs]

You’re starting to catch on.

[optimstie]

Now playing: MST3K vs. The Castle of Fu Manchu.

Oh, lawd. Here it is, the only episode of MST3K that I *don't* like.

Well, I'm getting this out of the way so that the MST3K Turkey Day Marathon seems that much richer and better and everything.

I will explain my theory via a series of three-point turns.

Okay two things

1) every time I see something like this, or photos of wild unrealistic landscapes that really exist, or spectacular architecture, whatever it is, I think again that when we write fantasy, we NERF REALITY. That is, here’s some dude with a special interest and a brain that somehow lacks basic self preservation mechanisms, and he’s out here looking like a super hero. Regular humans are capable of things we seem super human. Real landscapes are more fantastical than our fantasies. Reality is more fantastical than our fantasies.

2) how the fuck did he not kick out any windows that’s the most impressive part of the whole video.

So as someone who used to teach parkour back in the day, this dude isn’t just talented. His technique is amazing.

It’s not just about not kicking out windows. Controlling how you land is about shock absorption, about minimizing the strain on your joints. It also makes you quieter when you move. A good landing should be as silent as possible, because loud landings hurt. That’s the foundation of everything else you do in parkour. So by the time you’re climbing buildings, if you’re breaking windows it means you don’t have enough control to land safely and it’s time to go back to your ground basics.

Yeah so this is the guy who tests the Ninja Warrior stuff. He’s like an Olympian of parkour, that’s why this looks so good.

My question is always -

HOW DO YOU GET DOWN?
