Moment By Moment was considered according to Agony Booth. I don't think it was considered, so much as they wanted to do it in general.

starship invasions would have been an AMAZING episode. simply because it's an amazing movie. i think it's on youtube all the way through unless someone bothered to pull it, and you should all watch it, and be stunned. starship invasions DOES actually have a great musical score. I tell you, I looked-up this movie, and when viewing the screenshots, the pic of the robot rang a bell: I knew I had seen this movie before! I could remember nothing about it, but that screenshot told me I had seen it before. I must have only seen it once as a kid. So, I tracked it down and watched it yesterday. I found a copy from a European released called Project Genocide. Pretty entertaining, and not particularly awful. Oh, it's loaded with science-stupid, and really is just sort of full of holes, but somewhat enjoyable. Would have been great to see this with the MST3k treatment. It's right at 1:20, so likely no editing would be needed, and it contained no content that they would need to cut for naughty-bits, language, etc. haha! everyone who saw SI as a kid in the theaters (i did too, back in the 70s) remembers it, at least a bit, i've noticed. my theory is the weird suicide subplot. it seems tame now but i remembered the idea of an alien suicide beam really wigged me out when i was like 7 or 8 seeing that movie for the first time. you know, there i was expecting some space:1999 space opera kid stuff and then suddenly everyone's offing themselves in the middle of the street. i gotta tell you, starship invasions is one of my favorite so-bad-it's-good movies. i dunno if you noticed the totally jammin' not entirely appropriate soundtrack but im also a huge gil melle fan. he did a ton of cool soundtracks, like the night gallery theme song and the "andromeda strain." he also did the music for that crappy KTMA movie "The Last Chase," which as a consequence at least has good music. you could get a whole 'nother mst3k season doing just gil melle movies, cuz he definitely tracked a lot of cheese. i think he was so good that he just took every job that came along.

I remember Kevin mentioning somewhere that they wanted to do Night of the Lepus. I also remember hearing that Joel vetoed Plan 9 because of the excessive narration. My inner child just cried a little. That would have been awesome. Especially Night of the Lepus....Ahhh *sad*

It would have made a great episode, and imagine all the Star Trek riffs they could have done since DeForrest Kelly was in it.

It's surprising that they never did a movie featuring a Star Trek cast member, considering all the crap those guys must have been in in the Seventies to make ends meet. Am I right in thinking that the only regulars from any of the Trek series to appear in an MST3K film were John de Lancie in SST Death Flight and Salome Jens in Terror from the Year 5000?

Ohh, the love I have for Night of the Lepus <3. I am a proud owner of the DVD. It's one of those movies I can't believe was ever actually made. And while not a high-budget effort for sure, it's not like it was a zero-budget movie filmed by nobodies... I had Janet Leigh in it, for God's sake! How the hell did that happen? That being said, I would LOVE to see Cinematic Titanic tackle it, if they could manage to get the rights. I think it may be too obscure for Rifftrax to do, because I'm not sure it has quite the level of internet notoriety that The Room and Troll 2 have. The DeForest Kelly jokes alone would be worth it. (As a side note, DeForest Kelly is perhaps the most awesome name ever.) As for Child Bride, the only pre-2000 result that comes up on the IMDB (yes, apparently I am one of the sick people Kevin was talking about who would try to find out more information on the movie) is a 1938 movie that was meant to be "socially conscious" about underage relationships. Huh.

Huh. i actually think a lot of people know about lepus, it's right up there with troll 2 and the room, except for the fact maybe that it's quite a bit older. it got a real second wind from being referenced so prominently in "the matrix," i think, too. rifftrax should totally do it!

Huh. Gotta be careful about that, though. One of the methods that people used to get around the censorship of the time, when they wanted to make a movie about something scandalous, was to go into disgusting detail about their subject, but to wrap it with moralizing condemnation. That condemnation would thus allow them to make the movie about pederasty or bondage fetishes or orgies that they wanted to and manage to get around the censorship. I'm sure there's a graduate thesis to be made about it.

Plan 9 from Outer Space was rejected because it was too well-known, and they wanted to go for something a little more obscure.

I'll be honest: even if he were interested in resurrecting the series (which I doubt), I suspect he won't read any unsolicited script submissions just on general principle. That seems to be the norm for show-biz types. You're better off just writing for the enjoyment of yourself or other fans.

YEESH!Concerning Terror Of Tiny Town, despite being a boatload of cheeze, it features Little People with their size being the main gag...and the Brains felt it bordered on mocking someone's medical condition.
