MST3K 0509 - The Girl in Lovers Lane (10/10)

[Amethystasheryn]

I hope I'm not the only one who didn't hate this movie. I can't speak for the cinematography, but the storyline itself was all right until it started borrowing elements from "Of Mice and Men", and I didn't hate the characters themselves ...

Maybe it's just because I listen to too many corny old American radio dramas. Or maybe it's because I actually liked "Of Mice and Men". I don't know.

Either way, the riffing was fantastic and I adore the last host segment. Thanks for the upload!

"Dad?" "Click, prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...."

I always think it is sweet, how Joel and the bots read out letters from kids.

[TheGelment]

Worst edited movie ever on MST3k.

0:20 Thank you, David Arquette, Alyssa Milano, & Carrot Top! (That's a reference to the 1-800-CALL-ATT or 1-800-COLLECT ads in the 90s.)

[thefaboloussob]

0:04 1. "Johnny? We elected a new student council representative. You made some powerful enemies, son. I guess you know why."

2. "Put Gagne on the mound. Despite our five-run lead, the bottom of the lineup got lucky all of a sudden."

(#1 was based on the "Cheating" short.)

pete and repeat XD

[mrkrinkle72]

these movies were all jack kerouac's fault :P

[spinnigold]

"because they're driftwood" aghafhfsfdhgag Crow, you are so adorable.

[TimelordR]

This has to be the most melancholy-inducing flick MST3K ever had the guts to riff on. By comparison, The Girl In Lover's Lane makes Losing Isaiah look like a gut-busting comedy!

Carrie's in a better place now...

[Applemask]

What was the point in telling this story? It's just a depressing anecdote about some miserable people whose miserable lives ruin each other's miserable lives.

[dAvrilthebear]

so he killed his father, then a man like his father almost killed him... and the girl is dead... dr freud would've loved it... or maybe he would be puzzled ...i think we're getting into a whole weird area here

[var18]

This is my favorite MST3K. I love you big stupid!

[BoredLizzie]

Gotta love Servo mumbling "That was one weird ass movie."

[kommienezuspadt9]

I love this host segment so much. The entire thing is fantastic, but my absolute favorite is around 04:16 when Joel laughs at Crow yelling out "Florida!" to correct Tom. Adorable (and hilarious) beyond words.

And how lame am I that I actually just finished watching this on DVD, but felt the need to come to YouTube just so I could post a comment about it? It's almost like having friends. Haha. Validate me!

[abmstie]

@kommienezuspadt9

Consider yourself validated. I do the same thing.

[guysmiley00]

Grrr?

[GreyFox785]

The way Crow's angled when he's working out why you should never love a pigmy really cracks me up. It actually kinda looks like he's really thinking about it.

[tomthefunky]

Hey, Mystic River ripped this movie off. Damn you Clint Eastwood!!!!

[WildWacKyStuff]

5 stars mate!!!

[havaneezer]

That movie was almost too depressing to be riffed upon.

[LONGPORKBUFFET]

0:33 "Your going to kill a fatted calf!?" A biblical reference to Abraham going to sacrifice his son to god, these guys are geniuses!

[rcevey2]

That's the prodigal son, actually.

[LONGPORKBUFFET]

It was a joke, the kids dad was going to kill him without his knowing, hence the upward positive inflection on said quote. who cares what the label is if you alredy know the product!?

[jrmarrero96]

So Danny and Big Stupid lived happily ever after, together?! That's what the movie is suggesting to me anyway.

[geligniteandlilies]

@jrmarrero96 God I hope so.

[jumanjalepeno]

That was a HOT stinger lol

[IdiotFest101]

actually, that wasn't that bad of a movie.

I mean, it was better than most... XD

[im5150247]

Man,that was one DARK MAMA JAMA of a movie!!But, i think it was one of the funniest ones too, should i feel bad!?!

[KaterzTheMSTie]

Nope, the riffing is excellent.

[Capng123]

I'm just gonna say it: bathtub hooker is hot!

[TomMSTie]

Hey! A letter from Rochester!

Hmm, I wonder what Suzy Beltz is up to nowadays?

[KaterzTheMSTie]

Let's find her and start an upstate New York fan club!

[TomMSTie]

If it leads to meeting fan-girls? Sure!!! :)

[susybeltz]

...someone looking for me or the creepiest coincidence ever?

[TomMSTie]

Are you the author of the letter? If so, Hi. :)

[susybeltz]

I wasn't but I am a fan of MST3K. Crow's my favorite.

Looks like I have a doppelganger out there.

[TomMSTie]

@susybeltz I have a doppelganger also...and it's Samwise Gamgee. :(

[bmt277]

wow that was a depressing ending

[PorcelainRequiem]

I like Tom's ending, with Carrie living. It would've made the movie suck a lot less.

See the further adventures of Danny and Bix this fall on NBC. XD
