Yes, I was right -- they do have a beam-splitter for camcorders for sale
now, for $250.  I've never seen it, but here are some claims from their
flyer:

   The 3-D image size can be as wide as 2/3 of your screen size.  Instructions
   will explain how this is done, and you will be amazed at how well it works!

   Will work with camcorders of all sizes.  [They need you to send them
   certain measurements though.]

   Free colored 3-D views [retouched NASA photos] of our planet Earth with
   any order  (normally $40).


They also sell their adjustable side-by-side viewer for $125.  They never
explicitly say you'll get good results watching your split-screen videos
with this viewer (it's meant for printed pairs), but I'll bet you could.
I have one, which I bought when they were only $80.  It's high quality, but
I don't know that I've gotten $80 worth of use out of it yet.

Anyway, here's their address.  No phone number given.

"The horror!  THE HORROR!!!"

A few weeks back, I was walking in a mall in Virginia when I saw the
most shocking sight of carnage in my life:

	A collection of decapitated Tom Servo heads!!!

I gasped in disbelief...and then laughed my ass off!  It turns out
that this was the display case for a candy shop, and that these were
the exact same gumball machines that Best Brains uses!  If fact, they
had the cylindrical "Bart Simpson" crewcut head, to boot.

It was so *wierd* seeing those heads like that!  Definitely one of the
stranger experiences in my life.  I wonder if they have a big fan
working there that arranged them?

That goofy-sounding guy is Tim Scott, editor of _Mystery Science Theater

Miracle Growth Baby (After).  He went to Wadena Technical Institute in
1984 in my home town of Wadena.  Funny, hu?

I don't know if the header was intentionally aired on Comedy Central at 
first, but I think they got a great response with it from the viewers,
and they just keep doing it now.

While I do think they are trying to capitalise on the popularity of
the Brains' creation, I don't think that what Q Zoo is doing is exactly 
a ripoff.

If they were running the film with the soundtrack and making comments and/or
talking back at the screen, THAT would be a ripoff.  Improvising (IF that
is indeed what they are going to be doing) dialog to a movie without its
soundtrack is a bit different and has been done before.

Not Necessarily the News did that with news footage as did the British show
it was based upon.  Woody Allen's What's Up Tiger Lily was also made 
with a totally new soundtrack.

>Each show starts with old sex and driver ed films. So what's

Yeah, capitalising.  I would definitely be in line to flame the bastards
if they dared to even think about trying to rip off MST3K.  If they
do make up their own dialog then it can't really be said that anything is
being ripped off except for the 'live' part.  They probably saw that 
it worked for Best Brains and thought it would work for them too.

I flipped on MST3K Friday night to find that they were showing "Ring of Terror."
(Shouldn't "Rocket Attack USA" come after "Catalina Caper?")  Anyway, instead
of being the normal gumball machine top, Tom Servo's head was just a clear
cylinder the same diameter as his "neck" usually is.  Since it was a gumball
machine before (and is now), I assume this was just temporary, but they made
no reference to the change.

Does anyone know what was up?  Was this explained in Rocket Attack USA?  Did
they misplace Tom Servo's head that week?  Anyone?

My guess is it is intentional.  Season 3 had the "turn down your lights
were applicable" sign at the opening and it is missing in season 4.  I think
this is meant to be a replacement for that.

Are you sure?  I can only remember two (Rocket Attack USA and Ring of

Anyways, i think you're right on track.  While Joel and the bots wisecrack
at the acting and original dialogue/plot, the Planet-Q thing is a soundtrack
replacement.  Pretty different actually.  Heck, my brother and I used

Okay, there is an episode guide *almost* complete now with KTMA episodes
as well as the Comedy Channel/Comedy Central seasons.  I've been mailing

I could put it on the syrinx site, but I've never downloaded stuff to an

it (or if you're kind enough, you could do it for me!).

I don't know if the Ha!-Comedy Channel merger would affect the KTMA
episodes at all.  It might affect the showing of the Comedy Channel
episodes though (which could explain why *I* haven't seen any of those
episodes, or maybe I'm just a johnny-come-lately and missed them earlier)

Well, I don't know WHERE you got that weird idea, but I did notice that
"Tormented" was basically a wacky re-interpretation of "The Philadelphia
Story" (or "High Society" if you're more musically inclined.)

The idea: a jazz singer, engaged to a rich young woman, her little sister is
enamoured of the jazz singer, the father comes in halfway through the
movie...

In fact, the two movies are almost identical.  Except, of course, for the
disembodied head screaming "Tom Stewart Killed me!  Tom Stewart Killed me!"

But good?  I think you've been through a little too much DEEP HURTING!
