Nearly ten years ago, we asked Joel 20 questions. Joel says he’s ready for another 20. Now, I can think of four or five I’ve wanted to ask him. Brian says he has a few. But 20 really good ones? We’re gonna need your help for that. So let’s hear ’em. Later next week, we’ll pick the best, combine them with what we come up with, and send ’em off to Joel. So have it!

I really wasn’t sure what this weekend’s thread would be, until last night, when I got an e-mail from Joel.
Our pal the ever-vigilant blogger Skendenberg has been keeping track of the “Darkstar” project, and directs us to a news update here that says the project is “now content complete and working on testing and QA.” They now project a release in time for Christmas 2009. The “Darkstar” mastermind, J. Allen Williams, recently contacted us and promises to provide us with more information. Stay tuned! Alert reader Laura recommended this cute story: A Morning in the Life of a Humble Bot. Sweet!  My apologies for creating confusion on various versions. Watch this RiffTrax with the Special Edition DVD. Free sample: During the heyday of MST3K, most TV critics stayed above the “Joel vs. Mike” fray. One rare exception to that was The Washington Post’s Tom Shales, who made no attempt to hide his admiration for Joel, and his disdain for any MST3K product that did not feature him. It’s clear that’s still true today, judging from his piece today about Cinematic Titanic. |
