I find the Rifftrax version of the HS gut splittingly funny, I'd would definitely rather watch that than the PT.
Though the "PT" or "HS" thing is really one of those, "Would you rather eat a bowl full of dog snot, or a bucket of earthworms" sort of questions. I'd rather not have to participate in this sick sort of game if I don't have to.
Axia, you haven't seen the HS since the 70's? Wow, you really need to get a hold of a copy and give it another chance. Maybe it isn't as bad as you remember it... maybe it is worse...
