Wait - no, that's not right!
Okay, basically, MST3K is the story of a guy and his faithful robot companions who've been marooned in space by a pair of mad scientists (they're evil - EVIL!!), and later by an evil scientist's mother and her two sidekicks, and forced to watch movies. Bad movies. Hideously bad movies. In order to preserve their sanity, they mercilessly riff on and rip apart said stinkeroos. The references fly thick and fast, and don't be surprised if you don't get them all the first time. Watching the show is almost the polar opposite of being a couch potato - you have to actually think to enjoy it (a rarity these days).
Or, to be double-plus sure you get through, simply write to this address:
Web Site Number 9 is the home of Michael Neylon, maintainer of the sacred Dibs List for MSTing Usenet posts. He also has an extensive collection of MiSTings, including some work from yers truly. To see more detail about some of them, check out The Incredible Melting MiSTing Guide, hosted by the ever-changing WereTorgo.
Deus Ex Machina is a site maintained by David Levine at UNC. If you're looking for a link to MST3K and can't find it, chances are, it's here
The NEW Web Site of Love is maintained by Ty "Tazer One" Warren, also chock full o' goodies.
Now, before I get too sentimnetal, here are some RATMMer sites (these and others are also listed in the Randomness of RATMM WebRing).
The Lovely Laurelyn "Anagram Princess" Smith is the only RATMMer I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in real life. She rules Central Virginia (and maintains the FAQ for the #ratmm IRC channel)with a firm but fair hand.
There's Julia Sober, who's just neat, is all. *smoo*
By some cosmic quirk, Julia is also Rob Fontenot (aka Big Rob, The Midnight Rambler) We don't know how this happened, but they seem to be okay with it (although I imagaine it gets uncomfortable time-sharing the same skull). Rob also hosts RATMM's collected Wit & Wisdom (such as it is).
Jess Nevins is the official FAQ-master for the newsgroup (not the same as the show's FAQ - trust me). He's currently doing library stuff in Houston, where his interests include Golden Age comics, pulp magazines, and the lovely Alicea.
Matt Blackwell is just zis guy, y'know? He's also frequently my partner in MiSTology. He also maintains the definitive listing of Marrissa MiSTings!
What, you don't know about Her Majesty, Princess Admiral Captain Flight Commander Marrissa Amber Flores Cougar Melloncamp Picard?!? Hie thee henceforth to visit Stephen Ratliff, author of the adventures of the wackiest Kids' Crew in the (Star)Fleet! Stephen's also FAQ-Master for the Star Trek Creative Writer's newsgroup, not to mention one of the most even-tempered people on Earth.
Bryan Lambert maintains the Messy Canvas, a selection of MiSTings, Fake News, Actual Quotes, and other nifty stuff. Bryan is also a participant in the Homegame, which is basically folks MiSTing movies on TV via Internet chat. Sure, it all sounds like innocent fun - until someone gets hurt! Then it really gets to be fun!
Lori Holuta is the newsgroup's Unofficial Official Prop Diva, so if you need something like a lava lamp or a bowling trophy or a 1951 Studebaker, see her. She's also the online sci-fi columnist for Bella Online, and has a page in tribute to multiply MiSTed performer and all-time smug champion John Agar!
Jamie Plummer has assembled a gallery of the original posters and stills from many of the films that have appeared on MST3K.
Chad "Soundwave" Gould has some neat stuff, including the original critical reaction to some of the films shown on MST3K, and a whole passel of other links.
If you're not just into MST3K, but also Logan's Run, semi-serious history, and the real-life love lives of RATMM, visit the world of That Wacky Roger M. Wilcox! (That's one "M".)
There's also Christine and Antaeus and Fox and Heather and swac and Rachel and MAClear and Sarah and Randy and many many many others, many of whom have no web page for me to point to! *sob*
