As you’ve probably heard by now, the first episode of Cinematic Titanic, The Oozing Skull (aka Brain of Blood) is now available to order. <kermit>yaaaaay</kermit>. The preview is out (and in lower res on the order page) and it looks great. I’ve previously dismissed the ‘but there’s no Shadowrama’ complaint about other post-mst3k efforts to be splitting hairs, but did it ever feel right to see it again. On the downside, the download option won’t be available until April, and the discs won’t ship for up to two weeks.

[Addendum 12/23]

There seems to be an official version of the trailer on YouTube now:

TV’s Frank and the rest of the cast of Cartoon Dump will be doing three live shows in New York between January and March. There’ll probably be a few cappers at the January 8th, 8pm show. If you’re going and want help finding the gaggle or wonder if there’s a way to get $5 off your ticket, contact me.

Order tickets here.  (Regular price $10 in advance, $15 at the door, two drink (or item as they call it) minimum.

Since we’re busy preparing our own homage to the classic mst3k Turkey marathons, we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that some of the special commercial bumpers from those very marathons will be showing in the videos section at the official site starting Monday 11/19 (until ?) along with (we think) a new Thanksgiving bit with those animated bot-like objects. Word on the street is that those cartoons should start showing improvement any episode now.

Here’s when you can see your favorite movies during the Turkey week festivities It all weighs in at just over seven days, showing most items twice.

I’ve added two more “new” movies, Ring of Terror and Gamera. It’s not exactly the same version of Gamera the Brains used, General Curly Joe’s not in there, but close enough by my standards. I’ve also got fresh grabs for Master Ninja I and First Spaceship to Venus.

I’ve got two more new movies that’ll be surprises during the marathon, they’re listed as “Mystery Box” on the schedule, and I’m going to try to add new grabs for a few more movies.

Once again, rather than work on the grabs for the Turkey Week marathon I’ve made another video promo that probably won’t attract new cappers. This time reflecting on what we as msties, have to be thankful for:

Help see if it appeals to the non-capper msties out there by taking it down and passing it around.
