Summary: Mega-success
Comment: Being the person that always reads books months after their new I bought the book that one of my favorite comedians decided to publish. At this time I found out it was a June 2000 release and I bought it in May of 2001. Anyway I decided to read it anyway even though I was behind the times (sort of). To someone that has never seen or even heard of Mystery Science Theater 3000, the humor could be misunderstood. But for those who are accustomed to the show, like myself, just imagine yourself sitting next to Crow and Servo ripping on the major crapitude that invades our country every year. Some movies I hated I still hated after this book and some that I did like (Twister, Adam Sandler movies) I began to hate with sincerity! The fact that I read it in one sitting was a god sign that I was hooked to the book and though it wasn't exactly like the beloved show I watched for 10 years on TV, it feels like a tiny installment of Mike Nelson humor in a world where he doesn't have much to do but watch cheesy movies....the worst he could find. From being a mass reader of Home Theater magazine in which Nelson used to write for, I noticed a few of the chapters re-published from the monthly magazine release but mixed in with the original work its still funny. Nelson possesses that smart-allec kind of humor that can be off-putting to some but outrageous to the masses. I recomend this book to the people that know Mike Nelson because they will appreciate the humor and the common disrespect for the below average film strips that come to our theaters every year and for those who have never heard of Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Mike Nelson because it will open these types of people to a new form of comedy or at least a more mature version from an expert where others have faltered in trying to deliver.

Summary: More Mike!
Comment: The dry, intellectual wit of Mike Nelson is as endearing in print as it was on film. The former host of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" has once again stepped forward to show the rest of us that--yes--bad movies can be fun!
"Movie Megacheese" is a collection of essays focusing on movies that are endearingly devoid of plot, character development, proper lighting, and occasionally, dialogue. His tone, though, is never condescending. If you look beneath the humor, you will find a man who does not hide his affinity for these film-makers. Talent? No, they don't have it...but dang it, they're not going to let that stop them!
I do think you will enjoy this book, even if you are not familiar with "MST3K". It is laugh out loud funny, timeless and enjoyable to read. And hey,...it even makes a lovely drink coaster when you're done!

Summary: A hilarious look at the cinema
Comment: Mr. Nelson's first book, Movie Megacheese, is a laugh-out-loud ode to the cinema, full of wit and scathing barbs for the worst that the movie industry has to offer. Be sure no one's sleeping nearby while you read this book or you will be keeping them awake. Well planned and well executed jokes appear throughout this book. For example, I especially liked how the humor sort of "arcs" through the book on the movie Roadhouse, a film that was the subject of much humor on Mystery Science Theater 3000. A must read for MST3K fans who enjoyed Mr. Nelson's humor on that show.
