Videology Hosts Chief Zabu in Fine Style

Videology Hosts Chief Zabu in Fine Style

Well it’s still mythic, but it’s no longer unseen. Videology Bar and Cinema, in Williamsburg Brooklyn, was host to the one-night only screening of Zack Norman and Neil Cohen’s legendary-among-the-knowing CHIEF ZABU on Thursday, November 2nd.  It was a special night as Cohen introduced the film in the intimate, relaxed screening space, informing the audience of how the film had sat in a closet for…

Colour(s) I’m currently wearing: Dark blue, darker blue, bright blue and holographic silver.

Last band T-shirt I bought: I don’t think I own any? Unless ‘bible camp shirts for a camp themed around a specific song’ counts. In which case, that.

Last band I saw live: Kate Miller Heidke, I think? Unless ‘bands I am in’ counts, in which case the [Redacted] High School Massed Band. (I am not much of a bands person, for the usual meaning of band)

Last song I listened to: ‘The Farmer Refuted’ from Hamilton.

Lipstick or ChapStick? Lipstick, technically? I was trying to use it to stop me picking at my lips, and I should really give it another go.

Last movie I watched: The MSTK3000 of ‘Time of the Apes.’ I had too much fun,

Last three TV shows I watched: Bones, Criminal Minds and Mad as Hell. Last three characters I identified with: Temperance Brennan,  Celebrimbor (as written by arrogantemu) and Merrill.

Book I’m currently reading: ‘Twilight Girls and Odd Lovers’ by Lillian Faderman. It’s weirdly validating, reading about the fine tradition of university educated lesbians and ‘these people? definitely in love with other women. and definitely banged.’

(I’m not tagging anyone specifically, because why y’all have excellent taste and have already done this meme.)

If you like ASMR to fall asleep to Mystery Science Theater 3000 is perfect. The shows are hilarious in their own right and never are overly loud. Just so you know!

tiny rant about MST3k coming back:

I love Mystery Science Theater 3000. I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings as a kid to catch it on the SciFi Channel. I'm a member of the Bart Simpson generation--I was a dorky 90s kid that craved irreverence and anarchy in my humor and nothing sums that up better than watching a movie and making fun of it. It's like breaking a taboo. There's humor everywhere, even in shitty, old movies. Watching MST3k was like watching a bad movie with good friends. Now it's coming back for some reason. It never really left, we had Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic. Hell, now everyone with recording equipment does jokey commentaries for movies. But now it's back with the same name, and I think that's all that matters to some people. I think part of the appeal to MST3k is that it was a bunch of unknown Midwestern guys coming together and making jokes. The fact that they're bringing on all these nerd celebrities and big name comedy writers like Dan Harmon kind of takes away from the original's quaint charm. It distorts the show's hokey veneer of the sci-fi stuff with the satellite and the cheap-looking robots, as if all these segments are filmed in a garage somewhere. We've already seen that without the thematics (Rifftrax and the like) so going back to that seems antiquated--but now it's going to be like "hey, there's actor and comedian Patton Oswalt", which was never the vibe of the original MST3k. That it got crowdfunded is also a good example of that blind nerd "take my money" quality that I'm not a fan of. It's the same mindset that thinks Stan Lee created all of the Marvel characters or that Joss Whedon is a "nerd god" who can do no wrong. There was more to the show than those robots. Considering that Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett and the rest have been pretty mum about the whole thing is pretty telling. Either there's bad blood or lack of interest, this new MST3k seems like it's just going to be the nostalgia bait version of a product we don't need anymore. Maybe it will be good. I don't know. There's just a weird desperation to the whole thing. Just because something is good doesn't mean it needs to come back.

I’m still interested in the MST3K reboot but I’m not enthusiastic about Felicia Day and Patton Oswalt being on it.

Why does this show suddenly feel like it needs celebrities their fans barely know to be successful? Why can’t they just, y’know, make more episodes?

Speaking of Mystery Science Theatre, last thursday, me and my dad we're watching Pirhannaconda on SyFy, and says to me,

"I don't know if you remember this show, but, there was this guy stuck on a planet with two robots making fun of terrible movies. I feel like we're them. At this moment."

"Dad. DAD. YOU LIKE MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE?! AND YOU'VE NEVER TOLD ME!?"

"YEAH! THAT WAS THE NAME! that show was great."
