Intermission: icons!

[mollyringwraith]

Taking inspiration from arwen_elvenfair, I made a handful of LOTR icons with MST3k quotes on them. Slash-free! Some regular sexual innuendo here and there, but nothing worse than PG13.

I know this isn't an answer, but you probably just asked one of the hardest questions you possibly could have asked....

Mystery Science Theatre 3000's official site and MST3K at the IMDB

I've been a MSTie for years and it'd take more than a little LJ box to explain it away....

Basically, it's a tv show in which two robots and a human watch really, really painfully dreadful movies, and spend the whole time mocking them in voice-over. It's like heckling a movie with really smart friends. It's hilarious.

MST3K has, to a certain extent, become a generic term for making bad movies, fanfic, etc. bearable (and, ideally, hilarious) by inserting mocking banter. If someone talks about watching MST3K, they mean the actual show or the videotapes of it, but people also give the MST3K treatment to things themselves.

shelaghc's links have much more details. :)

Knee-jerk grammar pedantry

(Many more details, I mean. Or much more information. Gah.)
