If we’re talkin’ nurses,

@Madptarmigan

If we’re talking nurses,

… then you’re talkin’ Nurseferatu!

[CLANG_Potroast]

Wait. When did this change to the All-Disappointing Doormats thread.

[CLANG_Potroast]

By the way, Mrs. Ellis, the blind landlady from Tormented, should’ve been the star of the movie. I wanted her to be a detective solving crimes, with the help of her dog.

[FlyingSquid]

And Sandy.

MST movie or any movie? actually, nm, answer is the same either way…

[MattBlack]

… Okay, maybe the jury is still out on this one.

[Vader]

Mr. B, you’re hawt!!!

Because she deserved so much better, Ms Yashuko from Operation Double 007.

Everyone else from the spy Connery should have taken care of, to the female agent who gigglingly loved telling how a man burned up in a plane crash to not-Moneypenny-but-is-Moneypenny…all wastes!

And also, Jessica in The Thing That Couldn’t Die. All her greedy relations and their evil friends should have died, thus leaving her to move on with her life.

The Ram Chip of Kid Brother is absolutely Moneypenny getting out of that stuffy office to play Katherine Hepburn-Rambo for one glorious scene. lol

Oh, and can’t forget Alma. Woulda’ much rather watched a whole movie about her instead of her bland sister and the dueling fisher-boy suitors:

1012. Squirm (1976)

An okay episode. Not a favorite of mine, but not impossible to get through either. The worm-snacks segment is by far the best. We don’t see Mike as Mad in his own right very much. So it’s got that novelty factor. Of course, the short is the perfect mate for the movie, given that springs and worms have a certain visual thing in common. If we have a thread for whoever should’ve been the real hero of a bad movie, I unreservedly place Alma, the fashion-loving sister, in my Top 5. She’s got a great…

[McCloud]

I have an unnatural affection for Lords of the Deep, so I’ll suggest Priscilla Barnes. She is committed to that ridiculous role (and, y’know, incidentally ends up saving everbody).

[ArtCrow]

Samantha Hunt from Doctor Mordrid. I rather like her high intelligence and no-nonsense attitude.

Her presence and chemistry really brings a lot to the movie!

[Madptarmigan]

If you think about it, all the smart people in Atlantic Rim were women. Everyone else was taking on the monsters solo, rushing into burning buildings, trying to nuke Manhattan, or getting on the horn to order bull butter.

Special shout out to Tracey though, who had to fend off both badly-animated kaiju and the male gaze.

No one has mentioned little Debbie from Manos. Sometimes I worry about you people.

However, I’d say Peaches from Racket Girls would score well.

[Servotron3000]

Linda Baby is the best little actress I know.

[CLANG_Potroast]

207. Wild Rebels (1967)

I think the filmmakers wanted to add to the oeuvre of those anti-hero-gone-nowhere movies which Joel mentions in the wrap-up. But it’s a bad third or fourth generation copy of them. There’s nothing solid at its core to give it any genuine feeling. I do think that Bobbie Byers as Linda gets closer than anyone else. She gives a whole lot to the monologue about choosing life on the lam over being a hausfrau. Much more than it deserves.
