did you see the crap with Robert "Chakotay" Beltran from Voyager? It was about
a sentient fire creature running around immolating people. Junk! Then there was
the one about gargoyles, which was yet another of the SciFi Originals with
incredibly bad FX. Why are their films sporting CGI that looks ten years out of
date? seriousl, I've seen better on home PCs

In perfect honesty, I watch almost every Saturday. Always with the sound off
(I'm weird that way, rarely watch TV with sound, relying on Closed Caption). At
least every other week, I ahve to turn off the captioning, because I get too
far into my MSTie rant and lose track of the program. I even write mini-reviews
of some of the movies. Allow me to share the one from the spectacular "Kaw".
"Never more. Never more." Seriously.
It's the sole purpose behind my viewing them, having a list of movies to pick
from when I realize my dream of restarting the MST3K franchise.

The truth shall set me free huh? OK, lemme give it a try. But it the
group starts to throw stones at me, it will be your fault.
So, here is my confession, While I have finally given up on decent
scifi movies on Saturdays, when scifi channel first started the Saturday
night D movie programming, I watched regularly for at least 8 weeks
hoping that some of the movies would be good campy fun. Even after I
went cold turkey and stopped watching, I fell off the wagon at least six
times. However, I'm happy to report, that I have only watched two D
movies straight through in the past 12 months.
OK, your turn to 'fess up.
