MST3K:Swamp Diamonds

This disc, which includes "what to do on a date" is worth it just for this short alone. Joel and the bots' heckling of this 50's instructional film is easily 10X funnier than the feature Swamp Diamonds. Next good reason to pick this disc are the skits starting with the crew mimicking Spock and Kirk followed by Tom's asking out Gypsy on a date after being inspired by the short. Practicing what to say to woo Gypsy on the phone, Tom repeats the mantra "I'm a good person, I'm a great guy ,I've got a lot to offer, this'll be FUN"...."I cover the waterfront....". And then, and then, there is Swamp Diamonds. This was pretty tough to sit through even WITH the guys' comical commentary. But, ya know, there was no hurry to return the disc so I played it again. And ya know what...I actually started to like the film MORE, AND the comic comments got even funnier the 2nd time through! I could recite a WHOLE bunch of lines but I just wanna get in this one during the opening credits when the screen reads "introducing Jill Jarmyn" with Joel reading it as 'introducing and saying goodbye to Jill Jarmyn'. Here's the thing with Swamp Diamonds..I kind of conducted an experiment being that I watched it...a THIRD time, but let me tell you, I now don't want to send it back! Swamp Diamonds just gets more and more fun to watch each time and the guys jokes get funnier and funnier with each repeat viewing! Solution and final summation-Swamp Diamonds together with the hilarious 'what to do on a date' along with Tom's venture into date-land make this not a must see but a must OWN.           12/4/08
