Just a couple of miscellaneous items that don’t belong anywhere:
“Lesley” at XOJane.com has a nice long piece about what MST3K has meant to her life, and how she reacted to meeting her idols recently. RiffTrax writer Conor Lastowka has written a book called “Gone Whalin’.” I will not even begin to try to explain the premise but I can’t wait to read it. And when Conor needed a good voice for his Youtube promo video, the choice was clear: The site has been down all weekend, but we’re back (maybe). (You can still contribute to the Weekend Discussion Thread, by the way.)
While we were gone, Cinematic Titanic did three shows in New England. Nick A. Zaino III at The Boston Globe had a story on Saturday — and if you can figure out a way to get past their paywall, it’s here. This is an open thread for reports from this weekend’s shows. As I said in this week’s episode guide, “The Projected Man,” while no “Citizen Kane,” might almost have been TOO good for MST3K. I think they got a little excited about Bryant Haliday being in the movie and didn’t think much further.
So is there there a MSTed movie you think might be a little too good? What do you think got the Brains thinking it was good fodder? Our pal the mighty Ken Plume co-wrote a nifty little children’s book called “There’s a Zombie in My Treehouse.” The publisher has announced a great promotion for the iBook version where you can pay whatever amount you deem fair, and choose from among 17 different readers, including Joel, Mike, Kevin and Bill. Other readers include Alex Day, Storm DiCostanzo, Paul Dini & Misty Lee, Tom Kenny, Len Peralta (who illustrated the book), Phil Plait, Ken himself, John Robinson, Paul Sabourin, Caissie St. Onge, Tom Scharpling, Peter Serafinowicz and Billy West. Sounds like a great early Christmas present!
