I agree that we can hardly call this "official". But it is a sign of hope. Let's not get Robyn or Frank into trouble here... You guuuys, it's not like he told me anything super-fudgey-awesome-top-secret! Except, of course, that Joel Hodgson has actually been dead for years and the Joel we've been seeing is really a highly advanced android, but he swore me to secrecy on that. Wait...d'oh! *flees*

Frank also said that Joel had basically wanted to bring MST3K back (which surprised the hell outta ME, let me tell you!) but, of course, he couldn't work out that legal junk with Jim Mallon. Veeeery Interesting, although not suprising. Explains the mst3k.com relaunch timing, though. Mallon probably wanted some unreasonably high stake in the profits and Joel said "forget you, it was my idea and I (and friends) can come up with another." To which, Mallon said, "Oh yeah, well I'm bringing back MST3K myself and it will R0XRz!!11" (all actual imagined dialog) So, by our count so far: Mallon=disappointment. Lets Hope CT=double stuff thumbs up BTW: Thanks again Robyn for all the juicy info!!!!

Yes, I believe it, but this isn't exactly official. lol. But good all the same. Yeah , I prob'ly should've renamed this "Frank Says Next Week" , but I took the title as well as content from those first couple' posts : See ? ______________________________________________________ Re: Look, I've been real patient, but... « Reply #66 on Today at 2:51am » We have an Official "NEXT WEEK!" I'm guessing Wednesday. Any other guesses? ______________________________________________________ I merely threw a redirect sign on 2 posts buried on page 6 of an"obscure" thread . . I was excited !!

The Oozing Skull? Any idea why exactly? I mean, if they paid to use it?

Augh, Mallon. It's slightly depressing to think that Joel actually wanted to do something with MST3K again but couldn't because of Mallon. He's kind of screwing around with everybody now, isn't he? Not letting Joel near his own creation, futzing with Mike and the others' releases, and then turning around and doing his own crap with MST3K to try and make a buck.

So uh, there, that's all I know. Go speculate wildly! Wow, once again you deliver some really tasty nuggets. Of info. Can someone go knock some sense into Mallon? Let me get this straight... he wants to take advantage of the continued popularity of MST3K by reviving the series... as a bunch of flash cartoons. While the original creator of the show actually wants to bring it back! Umm... hello??? Seriously, why not? (And why is it that Jim seems to have sole ownership of the IP?)

Probably like the Film Ventures International releases of MST3K, I don't get how it works but that's why they have those completely unrelated credit sequences and different titles (you know, like Space Travelers instead of Marooned).

The sad thing is to actually support MST and buy DVD sets just keeps giving Mallon money.

Good, maybe he'll work harder at aquiring the rights so we can get more.

Man, these are the most interesting tidbits of info yet. Thanks Robyn (and Frank) for telling us about it. Jim Mallon just gets more and more unlikable. And that makes Paul guilty by association. I'm so glad Joel didn't come to terms with Jim. We already know how that turns out. It will be interesting to see Joel's true vision with CT come to fruition. Go Joel!

I'm just wondering where things got icy between Mallon and the rest of the MSTers. Cause reading back about the history of the show and all, he sounds like a pretty cool guy, another one of the group, and a major force in making the show happen in the first place. So what happened?

Cause reading back about the history of the show and all, he sounds like a pretty cool guy, another one of the group, and a major force in making the show happen in the first place. So what happened? From what I've gathered, a number of things: clashing with Joel on the show's direction and contributing to his leaving, phoning it in the last few seasons, immediately selling stuff on eBay after the show ended including personal stuff he shouldn't have touched and not even giving anybody any mementos, like, say, a Tom Servo puppet to Kevin, screwing around with Mike & the others' Film Crew releases, and trying to cash in on MST3K with the dumb Flash toons and whatnot. I guess we can add 'won't let Joel back near MST3K' to that list now.
