Done properly, it is. Spycraft only gets exciting when everything has gone to hell and you need a quick extraction.

Well, It happened. This finally converted me, a Brit, to Mystery Science Theater 3000. More so the first part featuring episode 2 of The Phantom Creeps than the main event Rocket Attack USA (I find the movie drags). It's not just that you get a free movie and a free short, it's that you also get genuinely fantastic comedy and commentary with it, and some physical comedy sketches in the wraparound host segments. It genuinely feels like a full package of comedy and B-grade schlock.

I hope you enjoy it. MST3K is a perfect slice of Midwestern American humor, like the Zucker Brothers of The Naked Gun and Airplane! Considering that Shaun of the Dead is possibly my favorite comedy, I like to think that we're not so different across the ocean. We're all just looking for some silliness to distract ourselves from the daily unhappiness of modern life.

It's amazing how commercials become interesting once they're old.

Penn Jillette thought AbFab was done 20 years before the most recent episode, which was four years before the theatrical film. In their most recent productions, Joanna Lumley (Patsy) is older than June Whitfield (Gran) was on the first episode. (Actor ages never bothered them much, though, unless Edina had Saffron when she was 10 years old.) Speaking of nostalgia, did anyone else play the Flash-based AbFab game on Comedy Central's website? (Don't buy the scrunchie.) I should pick up some Ivory Soap. Lorenzo Music (Garfield)'s dearly departed voice could sell me just about anything.

I have to wonder about the scene itself. Were they filming this movie in order and were so done at that point that they didn't care that the take was horrible and unconvincing, or, my guess is, they were rushing production so it could be released topically and didn't have time to care.
