Cinematic Titanic: The Oozing Skull

[the ghoul]

I'm probably in the minority here, but that MST3k stuff got old a long time ago for me.  It's good for a chuckle or two on occasion I guess, but I prefer to watch my badmovies as they were meant to be seen without the commentary.  "Brain of Blood" is great stuff! I find it very entertaining as is, and I don't need someone to tell me what's funny about it!

Is this "CINIMATIC TITANIC" a recent thing? Like, could I just go to target or best buy or something and easily find it there?

It is recent (the DVD came out like two weeks ago).  It isn't available off-line.  You have to go to www.cinematictitanic.com to order it.  Well worth the 15 bucks.

I think the number of MST3K fans and MST3K haters around here is pretty evenly divided. 

OK, I saw the 'Cinematic Titanic' version of THE OOZING SKULL aka BRAIN OF BLOOD and I have to say "Feh". Many of the comments were funny, but it did come across as over-rehearsed and the exagerated arm waving and wiggling of the hosts to match their comments got really old really quick. Plus - they cut some of the best stuff form the movie, particularly the weird scenes of Angelo Rossitto and the prisoners in the dungeon taunting and yelling at each other. Since the original movie ran less than 90 minutes and they weren't constrained by a time slot I'm guessing somebody decided these scenes were too un-PC or something.

I also watched a couple of episodes of Film Crew with Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett and enjoyed these a whole lot more. To me they came much closer to recapturing the atmosphere of the MST3K episodes.
