Weekend Discussion Thread: Animated Versions of MSTed Movies

Alert reader Patricia muses:

I know you’ve had a discussion about which movies would be good remakes, and I know that when there was a discussion about the MST movie being remade, Canucklehead actually mentioned Pixar remaking it as an animated movie.

But what if the Pixar/Dreamworks form of 3-D animation was used to remake, oh, Manos: The Hands of Fate, or Gamera vs. Guiron? Would the movies be more watchable? How would that serve a movie like Hobgoblins or Pod People? Imagine what the animators could do with the scene of Tor chasing the kids in Beast of Yucca Flats? And just think how the outhouse scene in Boggy Creek II could come alive!

All I know is, if I were very, very rich, I’d fund one of the studios to turn Wild Wild World of Batwoman into an animated romp. Fun!

So which MSTed movie would you like so see in an animated version? What would it be like?

I think “Teenagers from Outer Space” is a good candidate. The gargon could look like anything!

What’s your pick?

Weekend Discussion Thread: Moments in Life that Remind You of MST3K

Alert reader Timmy suggests:

How about a topic on things that remind you of MST3K. i live near a busy airport in the dc area and i see planes take off ever so often. i always say once a day, “john sununu goes for a haircut” when i see a plane takeoff. also some news things i see i say mst3k lines. there was a story about a man getting bit by a snake, i said, “watch out for snakes”.

When I see a plane taking off, I tend to hum the Starfighters music: o/` “Laaa, da-da-daaaa…” o/`

What examples can you think of from your life?

A Couple of Media Mentions

Several people alerted us to the story by The AV Club, which notes that AIP is at it again: Remaking some of their old movies, including some that were riffed by our beloved cowtown puppet show.

Also, CNN Entertainment uses the upcoming “Friday Night Lights” feature film as the peg to do an item about TV shows that have become movies, and mentions, well, guess who? (Thanks to our pal Tom for the heads up.)
