Weekend Discussion Thread: Characters from MSTed Movies You’d Like to Follow on Social Media

Alert reader Ken, aka Dr. Erikson, writes to say:

Among MST’d characters, who would you most likely connect with or follow on social media?
For instance, I think Torgo might have a great Facebook page, with lots of repetitive updates (“It’ll be dark soon”), odd likes (International Satyr Society) and grainy photos – probably mostly of women who didn’t know he was taking them.
Gloria Henderson could really keep you abreast of the latest happenings in porn if you followed her on Twitter: “Hot new smut picture out today – and brother I mean hot!”
And Henry Krasker’s Linkedin page would probably be interesting: “Inventor, criminologist, metaphysician. Currently self-employed and seeking investors for my Buried Alive Coffin Alarm (patent pending). Detective Lewis endorses Krasker’s, how-you-say… methods.”

I think Derek, the sensitive teen alien from “Teenagers from Outer Space,” would have a Facebook page full of entertainingly morose poetry.

Who’s your pick?

    Wait a minute. Why not follow the twitter feed of a filthy, repulsive
    anteater? Probably has lots of stories of the people forced to dopple
    in her bod because they don’t have any credits or were sent to mandatory
    rehab. Hint: If you are threatened with such a fate just change the
    programming by reversing the access code (so simple no one will think of it).

    Of course, there are also the wacky stories doppling techs can tell of the
    things those kids on class trips do. :)

    I would choose Mrs. March from The Atomic Brain, after she became a cat:

    April 30 — Found Nina at last! In Beverly Hills, spending MY DOUGH. Revenge underway…
    May 3 — Pass it on: Antonio’s has the best dumpster in town! Nom nom…
    May 15 — Spotted Nina coming out of Dicker & Dicker. Feeling different about fur coats now.
    May 29 — Forced to eat a mouse today. Gross.
    June 8 — Got a tomcat tailing me. In your dreams, buddy.
    June 9 — Damn, hooked up with tom. I’m a cat, whaddaya gonna do?
    June 23 — Man, the hairballs today, I’m telling you
    July 20 — I think I know the reason for those hairballs. Why didn’t I spay me when I had the chance??
    Aug 12 — I’m a Mommy!

    I’d follow Dropo from “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”. I’d like to see how the Santa on Mars thing is working out.

    Crenshaw – just to see any updates he has on the Creature

    Adam Chance – insights on how to go about using the judo range, pirating free TV and smugness while failing his task

    Rowsdower – just to see the flame wars regarding various beers and trucks

    OK, Torgo would be great. I would love to see Brack and the other Metalunans, or the “Good and Beautiful” guy (name escapes me) from #902 The Phantom Planet for inspirational quotes. Perhaps Silver from #601 Girls Town would be fun to hear about, since she always had something going on. And, of course, Yuri from #904 Werewolf would have updates every day about his rapidly changing hairstyles.

    That groovy swingin’ band from The Creeping Terror would have their own band page featuring Soundcloud clips of their repetetive swing music…

    Makonnen from THE PHANTOM PLANET. Imagine the nuggets of wisdom he’d dole out day to day. Sure, the wisest and best is to fix our attention on the good and the beautiful, but what’s second wisest and best? Third? Man, he’s some guy.

    Nastya from “Jack Frost” when she was living with her wicked Stepmother and stepsister. Imagine all the depressing tweets about the abuse she endures! “My stepsister wanted her mother to cut off my braid and then they put pancake batter on my eyebrows!” “I had to ask the Sun to delay its rising so I could finish my stepsister’s socks before sunrise or her mother would cut off my hair.” (Right after that tweet the site would be flooded with reports of global flooding and earthquakes!)

    I like to look at Mamie Van Doren’s website. Very interesting life, career, and self-expression. Besides that, Rommel’s twitter: “Peppers burn my gut!”; “Well its not half bad is it!”; “Yeah, I’m gonna throw up on those throw rugs”; “Do you ever read the bible? First it says take an eye, then turn the other cheek. Guess what to do depends on which end you read”. To end on a humorous note: “That’s a Number 5!”

    Some chloroform for Morrissey, please.

    Sister Travis from “Future War” could tweet about her daily dealings with huge guys, tough cases at the halfway house or rehab clinic, and any cyborgs/dinosaurs/time travelers she happened to run into this week. Plus she’s a nun.

    I’d “friend” Mikey. And I know he would check out my Facebook page–since he’s always grounded, he’d have nothing better to do–so one day my status would read “I can’t find my bike!” And I’d eagerly await his vehement, defensive response. Then I would post, “Never mind, I just forgot where I left my bike. Oops.”

    Basically, I don’t like Mikey.

    Commando Cody via MySpace, who is always posting interesting updates on how to build your own jetpack – but when I request 3D printer specs, he starts yelling about leather harnesses, insecticide spray tanks, and rubber hoses.

    I’d have thought Natalie in Soultakers was more into sexting.

    “Here’s a picture of myself, sensuously lying on my
    pink water bed. Action begins as I prepare for a stimulating shower
    while creepy Soultaker looks on…”

    I’d follow the following persons:
    Al Frazier (Happy Chef) would have updates about his cafe, and give useful advice.

    Chase Winstead (Giant Gila Monster) would have tips on hot rods, stories about picking up drunk DJs, and updates on the crimes he solved.(since the sheriff was incompetent as hell.)

    Gloria, her updates on the newest smut movies would be a must-read.

    How ’bout Critter from Girl in Gold Boots?
    I can picture him postin’ on Facebook; wanderin’ the country, takin’ pictures of all the odd folks who’ve given him and ‘his trusty stead’ a lift here or there, all the diners he’s EATen at, the dune buggy rides he’s taken, sharin’ work-in-progress lyrics to new songs he’s writin’…

    I’d follow The Band that Sang ‘California Lady’s’ band page on Myspace. Probably some uncovered gems there. Plus I could get updates on the friendly looking backup singer and the Eskimo’s side projects while the fish lipped guy’s in rehab.

    Lance Fuller’s character from “She Creature” would have a great Youtube series where he talks about the scientific issues of the day. The really controversial subjects will cause him to widen his eyes, sputter, and mumble wry comments through clenched jaws.

    Cherokee Jack from Red Zone Cuba would have a great Twitter presence! Aside from the constant barrage of “I’m Cherokee Jack #cherokeejack” tweets, we would hear all about the shady characters he was flying around and what the latest vehicle was that he bartered for airfare.

    Good idea. I would like to follow Mike’s Twitter posts…

    …I’m stuck in space.

    …I’m stuck in space.

    …I’m TIED UP AND BEING ASKED IF I CAN GET BEYOND THUNDERDOME!!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!!

    In the movies, I’d like to follow Geronimo’s (#1008 Final Justice) and Sheriff Jones (#810 The Giant Spider Invasion) Twitters on what they ate that day.

    Geronimo: “Had 3 jelly donuts, a box of cheese-curls, and a diet coke for lunch.”

    Sheriff Jones: “Had a 50-foot spider for desert.”

    Of course, Jack Taylor: constant tweets about outrageous parties.
    But Jimmy’s tweets would always be reminding people about when his birthday is.
    Beth from Skydivers – on Instagram so I can see if she ever got a better hairstyle.
