'MANOS' the Hands of Fate -- review on I-Mock

[Wes]

I dunno why Per hasn't mentioned it yet, but apparently he reviewed 'Manos' the Hands of Fate over at I-Mockery. The review is here:

www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/manos/default.asp

Yup. I haven't finished reading it, but thus far it is A-OK! ;D

But Per, did you really think Simply Irresistable was all that bad? I thought it was kinda sappy and simple -- like a Family Channel TV movie -- but I thought it was endearing enough to stay off of my "worst movies" list. I reserve that for films like Blood Sucking Freaks, which I assure you is worse than even 'Manos'. Oh, the MASter may have it beaten in the low production values and bad acting departments, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more repulsive film outside the realm of porn.

Anyway, maybe I'll have more to say when I finish reading the review.

Oh yeah, I was going to post a link to that piece, but I kind of forgot I guess. And yes, I think Simply Irresistible was awful. Now, I wasn't in very good shape when saw it. In fact, I was lying on a sofa next to a sick bucket when I realized my sister had rented it on VHS and decided to watch it between dozing off and retching. So that may have colored my opinion.

[Professor Hazard]

That was... that was... that was about eight hundred more words than I could ever be convinced, even with money, to write about Manos. But you captured it, oh, how you captured it. You got that pacing down pat.

[Mess]

I'm flabberghasted as to why you left out the pie eating contest, though.

[Pjalne]

That scene is only in the extended DVD edition. I only got the theatrical.

I originally planned to do it much shorter, but it took control over me.

[Professor Fandango]

I knew one day someone would tell me who Torgo was.

[Professor Hazard]

You know what movie really needs a full review like this, is The Money Pit.

[Professor Fandango]

Or Night of the Bloodsuckers.

"ARGH, SUNLIGHT!"

[Mess]

U NO, your review of Manos has been linked on a dutch website for Comics, Movies and Curiosa.
JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW.

[Professor Hazard]

And yet, you didn't want him to know enough to give him a link to it.

OR

Got a proof?

[Mess]

Well, it's in DUTCH. Wich means penis in English.

BUT I THART HE HADN'T MUCH USE.

[Pjalne]

Actually, that sounds interesting. Got the URL?

[Mess]

Of course, for u nething per <3<3<3

Look for the text "'Manos: The Hands of Fate', slechter dan 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'."
