|    Cinematic Titanic: Legacy or Doomsday?    |

      From: ejanss1@nospam.verizon.net              Okay, I'll admit I've been dragging my feet about watching CT downloads.       Partly because I didn't know they HAD downloads (and I didn't want to       order homemade disks--The old-school anime fans will understand), and       partly because...yes, I'm *still* that traumatized from the Film Crew.       (Yes, I know the CT crew are the Funny Ones Who Still Actually Own       Rights to the Original and Aren't That Desperate For a One-Hit-Wonder       Buck, but old fears die hard.)              Meanwhile, while searching Hulu.com for some streaming-rerun goodness to       download late at night, I happened across a half-dozen old sampled 80's       episodes of "Elvira's Movie Macabre"....And while she's not       *overwhelmingly* funny (except for the standard scene-specific       sarcastic host-seg digs at the movie), it's not Boobarella from "The       Simpsons", either.       More to the point, two of the listed episodes included host-hecklings of       "Legacy of Blood" and "The Doomsday Machine". Think CT's movie       acquisition department shops at the same PD store.       (And as to the movies themselves: Yes. The mind can say nothing but Oh       Dear Gods. Had "Legacy of Blood" aired during the Joel era, "Manos"       would have had competition for Inexplicable status. 0_0'' )              ...So, if I had to get my feet wet on either of those two Cinematic       Titanic experiments for pay-download, would either of the two be worth       the choice?       Or is there another episode ideal for first timers?       (And no, I'm not watching their "Santa/Martians" do-over, seeing as       there was nothing wrong with the first one.)              Derek Janssen       ejanss1@verizon.net              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
