A couple friends and I are planning on making an episode of our own version of MTS 3000. For anyone who isn't familliar with it, they take a some of the stupidest movies you can find and edit it to look like they are watching it in a theater and make lots of funny comments. We have a few ideas for cruddy movies to make fun of, but i wanted to see if anyone here had any good ideas for movie canidates.

Titanic. That movie's perfect for mocking.

Hey,

I've never actually seen the show but I read an equivenlent online where they do something like that with bad fanfics. So I hope it turns out pretty nice.

Here's a tip: Before you do this, remember that Best Brains (the people behind MST3K) had to watch each movie many times in order to write all of the dialogue. If you've ever seen "The Wild Wild World of Batwoman", you will see why this is the most thankless and painful job on earth. So be warned.

Nabeshin + MST3K = Shamelss!

Sounds like a great idea! My friends and I do that at the dollar theater with big movies like The Two Towers (so easy) and The Hulk. First it's funny, but even more importantly it pisses off the people who were too cheep to pay $4 to see it the first time.

"Knight Rider 2010". It has absolutely no reference with the original Knight Rider, Knight Rider 2000, or Team Knight Rider, except for a talking beater of a crappy foreign car, which happens to contain the soul of a dead woman.

"Highlander 2". This film is the bane of all Highlander fans. It explains the presence of the immortals as political prisoners from some alien world shipped off to Earth as a form of exile. They fuck up all the rules originally established in the first film (hwo the "Buzz" works, the Quickening, everything). In fact, Connor MacLeod becomes immortal again, and the Gathering starts up again.

"The Car". This is your typical unmanned ghost car running around in Monument Valley, killing anyone it finds. It's pretty entertaining, but not A-movie material.

"Runaway". Tom Selleck is a police officer in the Rogue Robot division. So basically, he runs around and stops misbehaving or homicidal robots. There's plenty of topless footage to keep you guys entertained (and the film's only rated PG-13!). On the plus side, however, the robots are done pretty realistically.

"Murphy's Law". No, I'm not talking about the Charles Bronson film. There's some crappy motorcycle education film called "Murphy's Law", that I got to watch for my motorcycle endorsement course. Basically, you've got an invisible Leprechaun named Murphy (in a letterman's jacket with an "M" of course), doing everything in his power to cause road hazards for the motorcyclists. He'll be letting dogs out to chase the riders down the street, driving smoke-belching Impalas, setting up tacks and nails in the road, etc. It's pretty damn funny on it's own, but could be enhanced further with running dialogue.
