About Me


Pronunciation: "Miks-yez-pit-lik" Most people just pronounce it "Mix" or "Mixie" for short.

I'm a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.

I am a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I'm not sorry for the things I've said. There's a wild man in my head.

I am two with nature.

I'm a bird who doesn't sing because I have an answer, I sing because I have a song.

I mostly come at night... Mostly.

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you.

I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for
you.

I'm like, you know... this guy.

Frank Conniff, probably best known as TV's Frank from Mystery Science Theatre 3000, recently posted a short video showing the true victims of the WGA strike: The studio executives. Those poor, poor, multimillionaires.

Speaking of MST3K, it seems lately there's been a flood of nostalgia for the series from it's former creative staff. Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy have been keeping the funny alive with their Rifftrax mp3 film commentaries and more recently direct to DVD features as The Film Crew. Jim Mallon and Paul Chaplin just launched MST3K.com, which features an online store, a weekly flash cartoon featuring Crow, Tom Servo, and Gypsy, and video clips from the show. And Joel Hodgson recently announced his own new riffing project Cinematic Titanic, also featuring the talents of MST3K alumni Trace Beaulieu, Josh Weinstein, Mary Jo Pehl, and Frank Conniff. You can read an interview with Joel about it on Starwars.com; their first feature should go on sale around December 10th.

It makes you wonder, when will these groups join forces and combine their powers? Why not get everyone together on a single project! Maybe a TV show about a pair of mad scientists who launch a guy into space and force him to watch bad movies, with only a pair of wise-cracking robots as his company. But what to call it?

P.S. - Licensed Games That Don't Entirely Suck #4 is still coming, I haven't abandoned it. Been extremely busy lately working on other things, and kinda burned out. It's about 70% done right now, but haven't had a chance to sit down with it for a while. I'll try to finish it up before all my time is devoted to UR MR GAY.

That idea is just crazy enough to work. You should send them an email and suggest it. I'm sure once they get the memo, they'll totally realize how brilliant it is.

MST3K...Favorite. Show. Ever. I'm so glad they're still working together, even if it isn't on the show.

MST3K, my one true love. (Notice those links? Yeah, you should click those links.) For the clueless, here's what you need to know about those projects:

Rifftrax: Not spectacular, but good.
The Film Crew: Pretty damn good.
MST3K.com Animated Shorts: Shit. Don't bother.
Cinematic Titanic: Hopefully, win.

For real, though, the MST3K.com shorts are crap. Jim Mallon (MST's producer, current rights holder, and general jackass) looks to be just trying to make a buck off of the success of Mike Nelson's projects. The cartoons are not funny.

@ Sharpless: Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with the first animated short either. Not amusing, and without Kevin as Tom and Trace/Bill as Crow it just seems wrong. I do kinda like the surreal paper cutout cartoon style, it reminds me of a low budget French animated art film or something. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they might eventually get better. Is the second one even out yet? And thanks for reminding me about your awesome blog, it was trapped in my bookmarks on the busted computer.

@ WiiSucks: I could be you from the future. THINK ABOUT THAT!

I'm really glad you posted this!

I got an email about this I think, and I couldn't have been more happy. I grew up watching this stuff on Sci-Fi. as a kid, and don't forget about the commentary you can download for Star Wars Ep. 1, it's hilarious.

I'm okay with Tom Servo's new voice, as it kind of sounds like his original voice (from season one and their first season on local Minnesota TV). Beyond that, I've got nothing. I don't know if the next short is out, but someone found a link to its location on the MST3K.com servers and I downloaded it. It's more of the same, though slightly less painful.

Glad you like the blog. If the font doesn't give it away, Destructoid is a big inspiration. :) I'm pretty neglectful of it these days though, because I suck.
