Mary Jo interview

The Park Bench Blog has a nice interview with Mary Jo discussing her work on Cinematic Titanic. You gotta love a site that bills itself as a “gathering place for nerdy women and nerdy men of discerning taste”!  

Thanks to Liz for the info.

Three CT Items

Trace has at last posted over at Cinematic Titanic, explaining (at least partially) what the deal is with that Time Tube thingy.

Meanwhile, “the Oozing Skull” got favorable reviews at aintitcoolnews (thanks to Neil for the tip), Kevin Smith’s Quickstop Entertainment and DVDTalk.com.

But the biggest news, at least for you folks in the Twin Cities area, is the Cinematic Titanic launch party, Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. at the Acme Comedy Co., 708 N. 1st St. in Minneapolis. The whole cast will be present for this evening of stand-up comedy, peeks at “The Oozing Skull” and a toast to MST’s 20th anniversary.
For tickets, call 612-338-6393 or visit the Acme Web site.
