It's called the Brute Man or The Brute, depending on whether you believe the jacket or the titles themselves. It is the movie starring Rondo Hatten as a man with a really big face. Hatten, a man with a really big face, forgets to act. However, his face is really, quite big. He walks around with his big face for most of the movie. An early plot attempt is discarded in favor of scenes of Hatten's big face being transported around by Hatten's equally big body. He kills people--not with his big face, although somehow his big face enters into it. It's not very good.

I hope this helps.

Subject: The fall of MST3K
Date: 18 Feb 1996 21:41:02 GMT
Once upon a time there was a show called 'MST3K'. It starred Joel Hodgson, Frank Coniff, and Trace Beaulieu. There were also some puppets controlled by Beaulieu and Kevin Murphy. It was a pretty funny show. In fact, you can't find a better show to watch. Everything was going just great... ...until Joel Hodgson decided to leave the show, and he was replaced by head writer Michael J. Nelson. Not only did Mike's acting (dis)abilities ruin the show, the writing of MST wasn't as fun as when Joel was on. Sure, sometimes the show was funny, but it wasn't the same. Then Frank Coniff decided to leave, and Mary Jo Phel joined the cast as Beaulieu's mother. The loss of Frank made the writing of the show even worse than when Joel left. To make it worse, the SOUND is different. Sure, you can understand the commentary better, but it 'feels' different. So, when Comedy Central refused to re-sign MST for an 8th season, EVERYBODY started to flame CC and planned boycotts of all non-MST shows on Comedy Central to protest the move and force CC to re-sign MST. CC said that because of low ratings, they had to cancel MST to save money. MiSTies from coast to coast were outraged, saying CC kept moving MST's time slot which caused the loss of viewers. With the evidence I have provided above, can you really blame Comedy Central? So, why the hell did a great show like MST3K suffer a decline in quality like that? Is it a big conspiracy to take a something that is really good & popular and f*** with it until nobody will watch it anymore? Is it the same conspiracy that caused FOX to cancel 'The Critic'? The same one that makes Newt Gingrich the most overrated man in America? The same one that makes 'Friends' the most overrated and overexposed show in TV history? The same one that caused 'Calvin & Hobbes' to be cancelled? The same one that causes sequels to good movies to really suck (like 'Predator 2')? The same one that caused Apple computers to go into financial ruin, even though Macs are better than Wintels? The same one that prevents the U.S. government from bombing every drug cartel in the world, thus elimating many of the problems we face today?

Just my 2 cents...

Do the words "pot", "kettle", and "black" mean anything to you at this point? How about "Lighten up, Francis"? When you learn to treat people like human beings, let us know.

: Jesus was not a Jew(Khaza). He was pure ans you sir a filth. This is
: anothe example of you Talmud teachings. Christ was not a Rabbi. In John
: ch 8:41-45 he makes clear you Jews are of Satan and that he rejects your
: sick teachings.

I am not a Christian, I am a Jew. But you may be interested in the following from your own "New Testament":

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night and said unto him, RABBI, we know that thou aret a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. --John 3: 1,2 King James Version

So here we have a picture of a Jew being approached by a "Jewish Leader" and addressed, with respect, as "Rabbi".

So tell me when John was lying....in chapter 3 or chapter 8?

In what sense? I mean, does he mark equally spaced straight lines on a plot or as the basis of a graph, or does he extend his authority over others, or himself? If so is this an authoritarian or self governing model, and under what principals does he rule?

Somebody at MST3K's really got it in for Mark Cohn.
There've been two swipes at him this year, the most
recent being in 807, with the "Silver Thunderbird"
remark. What's the dang deal? I thought that was
a pretty good song. Why the hell don't they go after
Randy Newman or something?

Dear Mr. Smitefellow:

Thank you for your interest in Mark Cohn. Though you may rightly enjoy his
very popular offerings, I find him to be a mephitic scab expressed from
the very bowel of hell, capable of playing only the black keys and
wretching forth the most insipid lyrics since Christopher Cross. But
that's just me. Others?

And thank you for your questions about soul-sucking pop music pariahs.

Sad but true....when I sent away for the MST ACEG about a year ago, it
was autographed by everyone EXCEPT Kevin Murphy. Does he hate me? Did
he sit at his desk signing hundreds after hundreds, until he got to
mine, and say "66127? Hah! We *HATE* Him!"

I think he spit on it before he passed it on. Well not really, but
it makes the story better...
