How Would You Rate This MST?: BLOOD WATERS OF DR Z

[al27]

You know the drill:

You watch BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z or you remember it from last time, whatever.

You rate said episode using a 1 to 10 rating. 1 being, "This episode totally sucks! It is so bad it physically hurt me!" and 10 being "One of the best episodes I’ve ever seen in my life!”

Then you tell me and everyone reading this post why that episode deserves that rating, whether it be good or bad. Go into as much or as little detail as you want, but more is always more entertaining.

I'll go first:
Fist off, I’m not really sure why SciFi aired this episode again, but then never played it after the initial rerun. The only thing I can think of is that maybe some SciFi dude checked the SciFi message bboard where everybody seemed to be asking why they haven’t played it again. I dunno. Either way, I’m glad I had a chance to tape it again, because I missed it the first time around. All the Host Segments were great. The riffs were good, but I’m not to keen on the movie, it just gets really boring really quick. Overall, a good episode, but not one of their best. An 8 out of 10.

Next week is gonna be uh… how’s about THE FINAL SACRIFICE.

I watched this one once a looong time ago, and I didn't really enjoy it. Before I give it a fair rating, i'll have to watch it again.

This one is one of my favorites 'cause it was filmed near where I live. I am a fan of this movie as anyone can see because I took my board name from it, so don't expect objectivity. Northern Florida has had its share of Mysted Movies, let me tell 'ya. Revenge of the Creature and Terror from the Year 5000 to name a couple. The climate here is perfect for growing oranges and obsessions! Here in good ol' St Augustine we have a whole town full of people transfixed in their personal fantasy worlds eager and willing to get their visions, no matter how warped, to the public! I think the movie was originally named "ZAAT", for the stuff in DoctorZ's "spray ketchup" bottle. I watch this ep frequently and am always amazed at noticing places near my house I can visit on pilgrimage.

This one is a rather quirky one.
Originally titled Zaat, this 1982 film was supposedly never seen after its initial run in theaters. It starts out with a psychotic narration by a guy who sounds a lot like Dr. Shrinker (it's not the same actor, fortunately.) Apparently, he's got some unhealthy fixation with aquatic life, so he turns himself into a man fish and goes around doing various things. We've got the requisite stereotypical people here in a small southern town, much like Attack of the Giant Leeches with 2 more brain cells (they had only one, mind you.) By the end of the film, you really don't care what happens much. The best thing it's remembered for is the long-winded speech at the beginning: "Sargassum. The weed of deceit...." Mike and the bots do their best to save it, but the movie's main downfall is that it's very forgettable. Unfortunately, the MiSTing is as well, mainly because it can't overcome the forgetability of the movie.

Rating: 6.8/10.
