More potential bot fodder from the SFC film library. This list is
from the SciFi/Dominion website schedule for January.

FRIGHT NIGHT
THE CLONE MASTER
THE MUTATIONS
THE UFO INCIDENT
Z.P.G. - This is a ripe one staring Oliver Reed. Not only was this
a poor excuse for science fiction, a poor excuse for a movie,
but they perverted the entire concept of Zero Population
Growth, which was meant to stabilize the population, not
to put an end to *all* births. Sheesh.

No, he's not. Relax. While we do not know the mechanics of exactly what
films will be made available to the Brains for MSTing in Season 8, we DO
know that they will come from the Sci-Fi Channel's existing library.
Each month, thor posts a list of the movies scheduled to run on Sci-Fi,
so that we might form at least a partial picture of just what's in the
Sci-Fi film vaults and MAY show up on MST3K. thor makes no judgements as
to the quality of the films...he's merely reporting what Sci-Fi has to
offer.

The Abyss is a fine movie (but only in its full-length director's cut
version, IMHO), but you've gotta admit there's plenty of MSTable material
to work with. You can insert "We've gotta get a bigger boat" just about
anywhere, not to mention endless refrains of "Hey, it's the Undersea
Kingdom, for you and for me, and it's fiiiiiiiine!")

Whoops, thor, looks like you forgot to put in the disclaimer
again.
It said (as far as I remember): these are just some movies scifi
is showing this month, I don't make any claim as to their quality,
MSTability, etc.
Every single time he's posted such a list (including times when
the disclaimer *was* there), someone's gone off on him. :)

Borman's ZARDOZ and Altman's QUINTET, but stood up for Truffaut's
FAHRENHEIT 451.
As for THE ABYSS, Evan, I am not as enamored with it as some are, mostly
because of the weak ending. But, I have yet to see the director's cut,
so that may change.

That's what I've heard. I hate it when a half way decent film falls
apart at the end. Like Joe Dante's EXPLORERS. *I'd* have given him
the money if I could, just to see the movie he wanted to make.

I have the director's cut on laserdisc, and the re-edited ending makes a
whole heck of a lot more sense. It puts the last scenes in the version we
normally see in the proper context (the messages on the waterwall, plus it
gives Ed Harris more dialogue when talking to the NTIs.)

Oh GOD I love Explorers, shitty ending and all. They cut a whole bunch of
stuff out of that film, too (I read the book AND the movie magazine, just
to show you how much I was in rapture with this film).
They've been showing it on Cinemax (I think it's Cinemax) lately, and
everytime I happen to flip through the channels and come upon it, I watch
it from there on in. Every teenage-science-fiction-fan's dream come true.
BTW, are you saying that someone else told him to do that ending, or are
you just hoping that's what would have happened? :)

Fantasy and Horror Films here in L.A. We would get to see advance screen-
ings of genre flicks in a theater on the USC campus and a few other
theaters in the area. One screening at USC was EXPLORERS. After the
film, Joe Dante and one of the kids (either Ethan Hawke or River Phoenix,
I don't remember) had a Q&A session with the audience. I don't remember
the whole story, but apparently he went over budget and Paramount
refused to give him more money to finish the movie. They also didn't
bother promoting it when it was released. Too bad.

Ed, I would say, was a pioneer, from scratch type of director-producer-
writer. I mean, he had to do it all. He taught a lot of people, and I'm
grateful for that. If they knew how he would make his own crosses for
the graveyard, and hammer nails, scrap wood . . . they're laughing at
it, but that's a real producer, not a guy sitting on his ass. That's a
guy that did it, man, did it all.

That's a shame. I remember reading an interview with him somewhere where
he said that the majority of the people who approached him about his films
told him that Explorers was their favorite of his films, and that it was
the film closest to his heart that he had ever made. Oh well.
