Seriously. He speaks and writes of it with a straight face, too. Completely deadpan without a hint of sarcasm or dark humor. He is absolutely earnest in his insistence that the movie is not a piece of crap.<br /><br />Based on his insistence that it is not a worthless film, I tried to watch it.<br /><br />I want to punch him in the face for the fifteen minutes I wasted.<br />James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-25658451768800756442013-04-10T08:52:57.075-04:002013-04-10T08:52:57.075-04:00@MK Storyteller: Sorry for the late reply, but I d...@MK Storyteller: Sorry for the late reply, but I definitely appreciate your comment!<br /><br />That's a very cool story!

You'll KNOW why I'd like to see this. I like to torture myself with these turds once in a while just for the hell of it! :-)Peter Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658473488417480920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-43111390177124017122012-06-07T07:52:12.123-04:002012-06-07T07:52:12.123-04:00Kevin: LOL.

Well, admittedly, it's a pretty short list, but I have one or two titles in mind that I think are at least AS BAD as this one (one I'm pretty sure is worse, despite having a fairly well-known actor in the cast).<br /><br />I actually have both the stand-alone DVD of MANOS and the MST3K version. It's hilarious! I'll also have to keep an eye out for Rifftrax's take on the movie...should be great!<br /><br />BTW, they're also remastering this film for an eventual Blu-Ray release! Can you imagine?<br /><br />Thanks again, sir, for stopping by, and talk to you soon (I hope)DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-53004462482331178842012-06-04T11:56:01.039-04:002012-06-04T11:56:01.039-04:00I can't wait to find out what movie(s) you con...I can't wait to find out what movie(s) you consider worse that this one! Looking forward to seeing your bottom five list and kudos to you for making it though the entire movie. I know many that couldn't. :)<br /><br />The MST3K gang covered this one and it's pretty entertaining. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Science-Theater-3000-Manos/dp/B0055CP9UY/" rel="nofollow">DVD release</a> even has a documentary about the making of the original movie.<br /><br />The Rifftrax gang will be covering this one live this summer at a theater near you! Details on that are available <a href="http://www.fathomevents.com/Originals/event/rifftrax_manos.aspx?d=8/16/2012/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Kevin Bachelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501302034770416873noreply@blogger.com
