Mystery Science Theater 3000

Bad movies are a fact of life. For every work of art like Citizen Kane, there are a thousand craptastic Barb Wires. But for every thousand Barb Wires, there is only one Manos: Hands of Fate, the sort of movie that is so bad, it can only be endured by mercilessly mocking it. That's what Mystery Science Theater 3000 does. It takes all those awful cheesy movies and turns them into something worth not just watching, but watching repeatedly. Lincoln gushes, here.

Sweeeeeeet.

When Mustafa was a kid, every Friday night, channel 11 would broadcast Gerry Anderson's UFO.  It took place in The Future: 1980.  Cars had gullwing doors, men wore wigs, and women wore outrageous wigs.  We had bases on the Moon, submarines that shot fighter planes from their bow, and hot babes in jumpsuits.  Our 1980 totally sucked by comparison, although XTC released Black Sea that year, so it wasn't all bad.  Read about a completely groovy future by clicking here.
