In the ACEG, the Brains bemoan about how depressing a film High School Big Shot was...but its a light-hearted romp through the park compared to the "Days Of Our Lives" short. My god, that's the most grim, downbeat, and soul-sucking hunk of celluloid the MST gang have ever been subjected to. Mike, Tom, and Crow riff like mad, but as Mike says afterward, it makes you want to kill yourself! Thankfully Crow's hilarious Alan Arkin imitation gives me a nice laugh towards the end, just as I'm plotting to jump out of the nearest window. Not helping matters, the preceding experiment, The Amazing Transparent Man, is a rather average light-on-laughs episode, compared to many other Season Six classics. Perhaps I'm just a bit downbeat, since I also watched the episode around 2 in the morning, due to my idiot drunken brain-dead house-mates keeping me awake with a loud booze party. Perhaps dinner, a nap, and "Samson & The Vampire Women" will cheer me up a bit...  |

Days of our Years, wasn't it? That number three score and ten?
The Union Pacific shorts are incredibly depressing...

" Days of our Years "
It grabbed a hold of my soul.
Threw it on the ground.
Stomped on it.
Pounded it with a meat tenderizer
Ran over it with a Mack truck.
Snagged on it.
Then sat on it and cut one.
I am better now.
That is, until you reminded me of it.

Ah! Yes, it is "Days Of Our Years". As I was writing, I forgot whether it was Years or Lives, so I checked the MST3k Review review...and it said Days Of Our Lives! Fix that, won'tcha Don?  And I feel a bit better now. |

Can I apply gentle pressure without getting my face burnt off then?

Can I apply gentle pressure without getting my face burnt off then? No you can't. The title of this one is often quoted wrong. But maybe not as much as Crash Of Moons. Everybody calls it Crash Of THE Moons. |

Yeah, even the ACEG calls it "Crash of the Moons", but who am I to rebel and change it.
It's like KTMA's "Legend of the Dinosaur", actually has a different title in the credit sequence.

Good points. But people even misquote the proper title to Manos. Mainly it's just because the want to abbreviate it to simply Manos (understandable), but there's also: Manos: Hands Of Fate, Manos: The Hands Of Fate, "Manos": Hands Of Fate, "Manos": The Hands Of Fate, "Manos" Hands Of Fate, Manos Hands Of Fate, Manos The Hands Of Fate, etc.
So many subtle variations all due to simply forgetting whether the word "The" is present or not and forgetting to include the quotation marks.

Ack! Now you've made my head hurt.
I went with the ACEG when I made my title banners, so that means the titles on my site, like Manos, are probably 100% undeniably and perfectly... WRONG!
ahh, ha, ha but I kid the ACEG.

I just got Volume 2 and 3 last night and boy was it derpessing. I mean the guy having a heartattack and being forced to stay in his own house. The guy having his baby born only minutes away from seeing him then getting blinded. It was really depressing.

Me too, I laughed my butt off. I must be twisted. I only wish they'd have added the delightful skit that was associated with the short... Remember Gentle Pressure |
