Blame My Psychotic Break On Copyright Laws

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Also, dammit Viacom, until we can work out some kind of season-by-season DVD set or a syndication deal, leave the commercially unavailable MST3k episodes on Youtube. You’re not making money on it anyway. I’ve been using them to fall asleep to when I have panic attacks at night, and if you keep tearing ’em down, I won’t be able to find them anywhere, and I will not be able to soothe the knot in my stomach with the illusory company of Mike/Joel and the Bots, and I will not fall asleep, and then I will be sleepy in the morning when I go to the preschool, and then I will forget what I’m doing and drive through the playground. DO YOU WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF MULTIPLE CHILDREN? DO YOU??

*sigh*

Well, since we can’t watch that either, we’ll have to find something else to watch. Thank y’all for the suggestions in the entry a while ago. I realized after reading a few that I had neglected to mention I have almost no patience for anime—I have enjoyed exactly one anime show in the last ten years, and that was Cowboy Bebop. Avatar may strain my endurance enough.

Meanwhile, I’m going to have to find something else to fall asleep to if I’m having trouble at night. It’s gotta be something mostly plotless and spoken. I suppose a random Rifftrax would work okay.

But MST3k works better. Damn you, Viacom!

Try Google Video.

Here, have a Space Mutiny.

Ooh, ooh, and an Eye of Argon! It's text, not video, but beautiful nonetheless.

Come on, you know you want Big Bang Theory. Theoretical physicist gamer nerds trying to get laid? HILARITEE!

>_> I saw one episode of that once, and I thought it was terrible. LAWL LOOK THE NERD USED A LONG WORD *laugh track*


When I can't sleep I watch old episodes of QI, personally, or listen to BBC radio comedy. Do you get much sketch comedy and such on the radio over there? I've only ever found it in the UK.

*resists the urge to start a big fat Joel vs Mike debate*

Those were the days, man!!

Srsly though, whatever happened to kicking it oldschool? "Keep circulating the tapes" and all that, when oldschool TV pirates with VCRs laughed in the face of those scurvy copyright lawyers.

Good luck. I love both of them so damn much.

They had to take that note off the credits after a while because lawyers warned 'em it was a bad idea. But the spirit lives on with the internet!

I've been falling asleep to Darkwing Duck. : P

Ah, Darkwing Duck. I need to hunt some of those down, I've not seen that show in ages. I did name my new iPod after Gosalyn, though :)

I don't know if it'd be any good to fall asleep to, but I've been watching The Pretender on hulu, where the first three seasons are up. I am remembering just how rock-awesome that show was and how titanic a crush I had on Jarod between the ages of 12 and 14. When I shortly run out of episodes, obtaining the fourth season is going to drive me crazy.

Cowboy Bebop is in a category all of its own. Pretty much only the animation style is Japanese, the story, characters, and setting draw much more from American sources, mainly old Westerns and Pulp/Noir stuff.

As a result, it's also one of the only "Anime" shows that I actually like. Now that I think about that, have you tried Lupin III? That's pretty fun.

To fall asleep when I'm feeling stressed, or when I just absolutely must multitask my brain and watch something in the background, I generally dust off either the Invader Zim DVD's or... Jaws.

The "Making of Jaws" feature is very soothing to me for some reason. Actually, so is the movie itself, which just goes to show that I'm odd, likely.

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Well, my happy movie is Aliens, so I won't judge. But that seems mean to the other people living in the house.

The DAP project has downloadable MST3Ks.

If you liked Cowboy Bebop, what about Samurai Champloo or however it's spelled? It's Cowboy Bebop set in the Edo period in Japan.

Or The Melancholoy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Anyone who likes Sci Fi winds up loving that show. David loved the hell out of it, and he can't take anime.

I'm not saying go to Castle Forrester no I am not.

The Mighty Boosh. Srsly. It's British comedy at it's best, and I say that as someone who's not overly fond of British comedy. There's plenty if clips on the Tube That Is You, check 'em out.

Bebop continues to earn its enduring reputation as the anime that people who don't like anime like anyway.

If there was an Ed grin smiley I would use it in every sentence. XD

I miss the hell out of Megas XLR myself.
