K. Gordon Murray Movie Trailers

A movie about K. Gordon Murray–who brought MSTies the movies in episodes 102- THE ROBOT VS. THE AZTEC MUMMY, 521- SANTA CLAUS AND 624 – SAMSON VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMEN–is apparently getting closer. It now has a Web site on which there is a very wacky teaser trailer and captivating promo trailer.

Weekend Discussion Thread: The Grand Convergence

As I was going over the questions everybody submitted for Joel (and, by the way, good job everybody) one thing really leaped out at me: Probably the most frequently asked question was some version of “When is everybody going to get together in one project?”

So, this weekend’s question: If they WERE going to all get together and do something, what form would you like that to take?

My vision is an extra-long (meaning more than three internal host segments) direct-to-DVD episode in which, through some sort of time travel plot (I’ve always thought the starting point might be that extra Crow that got left behind at the cheese factory in TIME CHASERS, though I’m not quite sure where you go from there), all the characters would end up interacting.
My idea is that, with each theater segment, more and more characters would be in the theater until, in the final segment, both Crows, both Servos, both Gypsies (would Pat Brantseg hold out for the big bucks?), Joel, Mike, Dr. F., Erhardt, Frank, Pearl, Observer and Bobo would all be there together (man, the line-assign would be murder!). I’d want a short AND a movie, but right now I can’t think what they would be.

Too much? Not enough? Got a different idea completely? And what movie should they do? Let’s hear it.
