I remember this being very boring, but with abrupt occurrences that would cause laughter.  Admittedly, the amusing parts are few and far between.

Will have to pull this down off the reference shelf and watch it again.  How is the quality on the DVD?  I see that it is a cheapie and they can vary from quite good for the money to bad.

Yes, it's pretty boring.  Flange is right about the talking...talking...talking.

....D'oh! Forgot to get details off the opening logos. I used a Columbus Public Library dvd, so no cost to me, directly. But, i've seen it for a decent price at Bestbuy and Media play, and the quailty is okey. I still have it at home, to do a MST on. I'll let you know more tomorrow.
....Not a bad deal, MST wise. But,yeah...talking...talking...talking...
....Rip it a new one, guys!
