Weekend Discussion Thread: Space Force

Alert regular “Torque the Dorque” writes:

SPACE FORCE

Who should be part of our Space Force (whenever it’s created) and why?

I would pick Winky because he is very experienced in riding the rocket.

I’m going to go with Lt. Makonnen, from the movie in episode 902- THE PHANTOM PLANET, who suggests that the wisest and best is to fix out attention on the good and beautul, if you’ll only take the time to look at it.”

Who, from MST3k characters, would you pick?

Please, we ask, no contemporary political commentary. Thanks.

Sitting Duck writes in and says:

In The Golden Turkey Awards (which Joel has cited as an influence on MST3K), the Medved Brothers stated, “We know our choices will not please everyone -— least of all the actors, producers, writers and directors who are honored in the pages that follow. We further recognize that the number of bad films is so enormous and the competition for the very worst is so intense, that all decisions reached here are subject to considerable second-guessing.”

So let’s do a bit of our own second-guessing and name MST3K films we think should have been nominated. I would pick “The Corpse Vanishes” for Most Awkward On-Screen Marriage Proposal.

For reference, a list of the Awards and their “winners” (as well as the MST3K films that were nominated) can be found here: The Golden Turkey Awards.

Have at it!

Keep those WDT suggestions coming!
