356 - Millennium Air Crash, The Bond With The Golden Goofs, Masochist Writing Camp, "Plot 8 From Aether Space", "Disney's Magic Bondage", and Stupid Clueless Pieces Of Sith

(Long one...been a while - Mr. Silver)
Mr. Silver
So...Han Solo crashed the Millennium Airplane
Yesterday's news was "several minor injuries"
Today it says "serious"
Mr. Amethyst

LOL

Mr. Silver
Article itself says moderate.
Please decide folks.
Mr. Amethyst

"Hes doin' alright. In fact he hopped out and started singing show tunes" - Fox

Mr. Silver
"Han Crashed First"
Mr. Amethyst

LOL

Mr. Blue

I liked the meme where it showed them carting off Han Solo from the crash cast in carbonite.

Mr. Brown

I was wondering if, in other countries, it would say Han Solo crashed...like they know him by no other name.

LOL

Mr. Amethyst


Mr. Silver
Nice dig at Williams :-D
I'm telling you...Ford just wants out of Star Wars films somethin' fierce, and he'll cripple himself to do it.
Mr. Yellow

Well I think it is fate they may have to kill off Han.

Mr. Silver
(Harrison Ford) "Don't worry, I'll hold together! Hear me baby? Hold together."
Mr. Blue

Maybe he should get newer plane.

Something post-war perhaps.

Mr. Amethyst

Wasn't that an old fighter?

Mr. Blue

Yeah

WW2

Mr. Brown

Apparently he is a good pilot. They say he saved his own life.

Mr. Silver
(Disney Rep) "We've gotten you a replacement aircraft. We'd like you to fly this model exclusively for the next few years, Mr. Ford (hands Mickey Mouse 'ears' balloon)."
Mr. Amethyst

LOL

Mr. Blue

Selfish Actor Saves Own Life At Cost Of Historic WW2 Plane."





Mr. Silver
Watched some James Bond over the weekend. That's always fun.
Live and Let Die”...always fun and had been saving it for Silver Jr. since it's a long one.
And "Die Another Day"...his first modern era one.
Mr. Blue

I never finished the Dalton one I started

Mr. Silver
Poor Dalton...
He should have been a good Bond.
I wanted him to be a good Bond.
He got two terrible scripts written by 80s folks taking as many drugs as the villains were running in both.
"Hey! Let's make the 1st Bond who keeps it in his pants!"
????
Psssst...NObody wants that.
Mr. Amethyst

"Come to bed, James"

"No thanks....not in this movie!"

Mr. Silver
The feminist movement didn't want that.
"Well, the no-sex thing bombed. Let's try again...Let's make up for the sex thing by getting him fired by MI6...and then add scenes of such gratuitous violence we get the first hard R rating in Bond history!"
Psssst...nobody wants that either.
Mr. Amethyst

I like gratuitous violence....

Mr. Silver
"Also, absolutely nobody liked the drug-runner plot in the first Dalton movie...let's try that again."
Mr. Blue

Dalton was probably the closest to Connery in terms of mixing sophistication with truculence.

Mr. Silver
Not Craig?
Mr. Amethyst

Truculence?

Mr. Blue

Brutishness”.

Ms. Rose

Tequila is just about the ONLY alcohol I won't drink. It's a long story I won't bore you with. But the gist is that a bottle of extremely cheap and disgusting tequila was thrown at my head (!!!) when I was much too young to be drinking in the first place. It was aimed at me, per se. But being in the line of fire and subsequently puking my guts out just from the smell as turned me off tequila forever.

Ms. Rose

(I'm sorry for interrupting an important Bond discussion with my ridiculousness. Will stop now.)

Mr. Amethyst

Sounds like my kinda party! Sounds like Yule...

Mr. Silver
I thought you were writing a scene from a Bond movie.
The “Broken Bond-Girl” backstory.
Mr. Amethyst

LOL

"This is why I sleep with random spies!"

Mr. Silver
"Bond...James Bond."
"Tila Limesalt"
"You're joking."
"Lemme tell you my story, Mr. Bond."
Mr. Amethyst

LOL

Ms. Rose

Dad made me watch all the old Bond movies when I was young. Imagine his discomfort at having to explain to his only daughter (only child, period) why the name Pussy Galore was innuendo. "Does she own lots of cats, daddy?"

Mr. Blue

Heheh

Ms. Rose

"Go ask your mother."

Mr. Amethyst

LOL



Mr. Silver
I need penned in at a cabin somewhere with a computer and printer and a couple attendants...
With whips...
"You working on your novel?"
"Well...see, I thought I'd - "
(shhWACK!!!)
"I'm writing I'm writing!!!!"
Ms. Rose

"Doo you zhink zis ees some kind of fffacation in zhis secluded cabin?! WRITE! WRITE NOW, you seeeely American!" *crack*

"Vee have vays of making you write..."

Mr. Silver
Creativity Nazis...yeah...that's it.
"Vee hear you haff zecrret plans, ja? Yoo vill wrrite zem down. Vis illuzzdrations und editted, yes?" (Slap slap!)
"OK! OK! I'll finish!"
Ms. Rose

"Lack of eeemagination iz not zee option! Penzil on da paper! NOW!"

Mr. Silver
"I'll need to do research, of course...I'll n-"
(riding crop smacks on desk)
"NEIN!"
Mr. Amethyst

Riding crop motivation...

Mr. Silver
You know...as a workshop weekend event, this could rake in some serious loot.
Different themes...boot camp...Nazi prison...keep it fresh.
Ms. Rose

Sign me up to be bitchy writing Nazi #1.

Mr. Silver
(Medieval cardinal in red silks, holding manuscript. Hooded goons with red hot pokers) "A mere 150 pages of novelized confession? I really don't enjoy doing this, you know... (holds up to flaming brazier) They tell me it took you hours before they printed this and wiped your save file. Are you...sure? There...isn't...more? That you can confess?"



Mr. Blue

Did MST3K ever do Plan 9?

Mr. Silver
No, they wouldn't touch Plan 9
Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic might have.
Mr. Blue

Too bad... It's certainly more riffable than “Monster A Go Go”

Mr. Silver
I think that was one of the points against doing it...too easy.
Another was that it was a cult film.
Mr. Blue

Yeah. It's the rare movie that's hilarious on its own.

Mr. Silver
They feared the cultural damage of it becoming an “MST3K movie”, perhaps.
Mr. Blue

Riffing would just interrupt its own humor.

Mr. Silver
Yup
Mr. Blue

Like cars changing colors, going from day to night and back to day, the cop scratching his forehead with the barrel of his gun

The last was my favorite part. I guess the actor did it just to see if anyone would even notice.
Mr. Silver
"We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives!"
Mr. Blue

"And remember, future events such as these will affect you, in the future."

Wood basically just kind of used everything at his disposal and wrote around what he had available.

"Well...I got Bela, desperate for money, and this prop octopus... let's fit that into a film somehow."

Mr. Silver
I appreciate his method.
Ed just wanted to FILM, damn it!
"You SEE? You SEE? Your stupid minds! Stupid!"
Mr. Blue

I mean, it probably wouldn't be much better if I had a ton of ambition to film something.

I'd have to use what was around me, which would probably include Paul Gaudino and the Mars “space ship

Mr. Silver
X Mall as "Mars Station Epsilon"
Mr. Brown

I have a glow in the dark Jason mask

Hehe

Mr. Silver
You're in as our romantic lead, then!
Mr. Brown

I am from planet Hockey. It is similar to your earth game, but we play it in the dark with explosives.”

Mr. Silver
(directing) "Ok, Mr. Brown...go up to the Queen of the Space Hotties and attempt to talk to her."
"Oh my god!  She's... … Is there a script?  What do I say?"
"Wing it. Rolling!  Action!"
"Um...greetings from Earth...I'm...gee that is a tight outfit. Oh God!  She's totally naked in body paint!"
"Still rolling..."
Mr. Blue

I do like considering places for filming locations.

"Hmm... this street could be pre WW2 middle America"

"This building looks oddly futuristic"

Know of a good place in Omaha for a futuristic setting?

Des Moines, I mean?

Mr. Silver
Isn't it already?



Mr. Silver
Disney's new toy.  As wonderful as they usually are, but clearly sinister in the hands of the correct villains.
A deceptively simple wristband everyone is sent after setting up your trip online...pick what you want to do...even order meals. And everything is not only laid out for you, but if stuff starts going wrong it directs you to other stuff you'll like or gives you rewards and such to make you feel better.
Send characters your way..."win" freebies and coupons. They could even film your experiences on the rides and in the park with the thousands of cameras around and send you a video!”
(Me reading) "Oh...my...God..."
"There are all sorts of companies inquiring about the system!"
Yeah...I'll bet there are.
Mr. Green

If something goes wrong, it glows blue—never red. Red lights are forbidden at Disney, as they imply something bad happened. Nothing bad can happen at Disney World.

Mr. Silver
Except collapsing from the heat and sunburn. Neither of those is blue.
Mr. Green

Heheh

But if they install heart/vitals monitors, they could help prevent that too...lol

Hydrators and lotion dispensing people who just appear.

Mr. Silver
(Princess Jasmine approaches with a pitcher of lemonade and cups)
"Hi! Just passing through."
"It's the wristband, right? Tells you we needed hydration?"
"No NO! Just coincidence and a little magic." (secretly nods)
"Nice!"
"Dreams come true here!"
"Good! On that note, does the Disney magic register the kind of hots I've always had for Princess Jasmine?"
"Uh... ... ... I'll check."
"Please do."
Mr. Green

LOL
Mr. Silver
"Red outfit.  I'd give the hotel and room but the magic already knows."
8:10 AM
"Yes sir."



Mr. Blue

Are Siths a race or just a group?

Mr. Silver
Sith was a race, then an ideal, then an empire headed by the mystics, then a couple wizards and their lackies.
All the movies are in the Couple Wizards phase
The old Sith Empire vs the Republic was finished off thousands of years ago after a bunch of wars.
Palpatine was the only one who succeeded in taking over everything since.
The Jedi didn't even know there still were any Sith...and he used that.
There were only 2
That was "the rule"
Mr. Brown

But each could have students.

Mr. Blue

My emperor brings all the lords to the yard...

Mr. Silver
Granted, those 2 had all sorts of secrets from each other. It was a terribly stupid idea.
Problem with the Rule of Two is there wasn't much way to figure out how many Twos there were.
"Fool!" 
"Simpleton!" 
"You will be destroyed for your arrogance!"
"Your passions betray you!"
(chorus) "You will learn the true power of the Sith!"
(Pause)
"Did you say...?"
"You're Sith too?"
Mr. Blue

Heheh

Mr. Silver
"You can't be Sith! The Rule of Two!"
"I was gonna say the same thing."
"Who is your master?"
"Darth Bombast."
"Don't know him. I have Darth Uppity. His master was Darth Goob."
"Goob...Goob...I though my great grand Darth killed him."
"Darth Icky?"
"Yeah!"
(Chorus) "Oooooohhhh (giggles)"
"Small dark galaxy of hate and power, right?"
"Yeah. Yeah. So...prepare to die?"
"Meh... Wanna join up? What do you say we kill off the other two and rule everything?"
"Deal!"
