Early October, 1998

Went to go check out the Alamo Drafthouse Cannibal Film Festival. They were showing "Eating Raoul". We manage to find some seats up front just on the fringes of the "Ain't it cool posse". They usually take up an entire row. We glance over and notice a couple of the posse members giggling and cooing over something. Turns out that they were oohing and ahing over their latest find -- vintage movie press kits from such classics as "Dr. Doolittle" (the 60s version) and "The Cat From Outer Space".

So the movie starts, and immediately the two Ain't It Cool boys start talking and making smart ass comments through the movie. Then they get really excited when Raoul comes onscreen because he's in one of those dumbass Star Trek spinoff shows (Just Wrath of Khan and the original TV series for me, thank you). We manage to make it through the screening without further incident. Then, while perusing Harry's site over the next few days, I see how he's written this article bitching about how there were people talking in the Alamo while he was trying to watch a movie. So I quickly fire Harry off an email. He responds and flatly denies the allegations that these were members of his posse...

ACTUAL HARRY EMAIL

I never MST3K a movie. If someone in my group does this (I've never noticed and I'm usually very intune) point them out and I'll bitch slap em.

Harry

Well, get that bitch slappin' ready, Harry because ONLY MEMBERS OF THE AIN'T IT COOL POSSE WOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT STAR TREK, DR. DOOLITTLE AND THE GODDAMMED CAT FROM OUTER SPACE!!
