Posted by Sampo, on September 23rd, 2014 Two things that might have escaped your notice:
1. Hold on to your hat for this one. Trace and Joel, along with Firesign Theatre’s Phil Proctor and former-co-host-of-“Mr. Show”-turned-major-TV-star Bob Odenkirk, provided voice talents for an overdub of something called “A Belly Full of Anger,” which has to be seen to be believed. This apparently was done some time ago, but I just stumbled onto a mention of it on Twitter yesterday, so I may be the last to know about this. Here’s a trailer, which definitely captures the flavor. The voice work is awesome. The movie … well, I think I’ll just say that I think it’s over my head. You can rent or buy the thing at Amazon Instant here.
2. And, coming Jan. 31, “The Comic Galaxy of Mystery Science Theater 3000: Twelve Classic Episodes and the Movies They Lampoon” by Chris Morgan. For what it’s worth.
Posted by Sampo, on September 22nd, 2014 Direct from DragonCon, our pal Ken Plume moderates a panel with Joel, Frank and Trace called “Reel Crime.”
Posted by Sampo, on September 21st, 2014  TORONTO–Actor and playwright Linda Griffiths died Sept. 21, at the Bridgeport Health Center here, after a battle with breast cancer. She said she was 57, but those close to her says she was actually 60. MSTies will remember her performance as Appollonia James in the movie in episode 822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK.
The Globe and Mail has an obit.
Thanks to Jon for the heads up.
Posted by Sampo, on September 20th, 2014 Kat Rosenfeld of MTV.com asks “Where are they now?” but neglects TV’s Frank completely, (and Josh, and Jim, and Paul, and Bridget…) and apparently couldn’t find photos of Bill and Kevin. Sheesh.
Posted by Sampo, on September 20th, 2014 Alert reader James writes in to say:
This week’s thread about non-sensical lines got me thinking about things that made the movies MST did truly cringeworthy (as opposed to being arduous because they were boring). Even things that get riffed can penetrate and affect the viewer, causing there to be some basis for Dr. F’s experiment to work. The hurtful way that horrid kid in Hobgoblins pretends to be a rock star in the opening minutes does it to me.
I’ve still got to go with the peeper privates in “Attack of the the Eye Creatures.”
Keep those suggestions coming!
