Great Tweets from the MST3K guys

Act Like Tom Bombadil Day

michaeljnelson: Today is Act Like Tom Bombadil Day. Just now I was leaping around reciting verse when I tripped over my curly shoe, ripping my yellow pants.

BillCorbett: @michaeljnelson I'd celebrate Act Like Tom Bombadil Day, but truthfully there's no way I can act any MORE like Tom Bombadil. I'm at 100% +.

michaeljnelson: Great - it's Act Like Tom Bombadil Day and I just spilled fresh gathered honey on my bright blue jacket AND misplaced my 36-inch clay pipe.

michaeljnelson: @BillCorbett: I hear you: Leaping, singing & feeding my ponies while twittering is the hardest part of acting at all times like Tom Bombadil

kwmurphy: @BillCorbett @michaeljnelson Sorry, I was out gamboling by the river, collecting water lilies to lay at Goldberry's feet. What'd I miss?

BillCorbett: @kwmurphy @michaeljnelson Hey dol, merry dol! Ring a dong dillo! You know what I mean?

BillCorbett: Old Man Willow acted like a complete dick today. Um, derry dol. #ActLikeTomBombadilDay

The Wookies in this new Star Track better not be as annoying as those little teddy bear wookies from STII:Return my Jedi. #annoyatrekkie


michaeljnelson
I hear that Picard uses the hollow deck A LOT in this one. Lot's of going back to Elizabethan-times and quoting Shakespeare. #annoyatrekkie

michaeljnelson
We finally get to learn what the Nexus is! (spoiler) Dooku the White created it during the First TekWar to control the elves. #annoyatrekkie


michaeljnelson Don't want to start a flame war, but can we all agree that Jeffrey Hunter was the best James Tyrell Kerk? #annoyatrekkie

kwmurphy
They didn't have Queue? Where's Queue in this one!!? #annoyatrekkie


michaeljnelson
The new Spach is amazing! The part where he goes back home for Pon'farr and swims over his lover's eggs, very touching. #annoyatrekkie

michaeljnelson
No Bruce Boxleitner in this one?! But his lightsaber duel with G'Kar was the best thing about Firefly! #annoyatrekkie


BillCorbett
Though I also liked the bald British chap, Rod Stewart, as "The Old Cap'n" James Tiberius Janeway. #annoyatrekkie [Annnnd....SCENE.]


michaeljnelson
Is it me, or do the new Tribbles look really fakey? I knew that Buffy guy would ruin the franchise! #annoyatrekkie


michaeljnelson
In Star Track, the new gay versions of Spack and Kirk sing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins in a kickline with the Bork. #annoyatrekkie

michaeljnelson It's so sad when Uhuuhuu can't get the dilithium crystals to work because her midichlorian count is too low. #annoyatrekkie

BillCorbett Married to Norton, OK. But you were by far the blandest recurring character on The Honeymooners, & played by like 5 actresses! #annoyatrixie

michaeljnelson The new Trek? No, thanks. I'd rather stay home and watch "In Search of" on Laserdisc. #annoyatrekkie

kwmurphy
Maybe this will put a nail in it: http://bit.ly/CvW7x

@kwmurphy
 Thanks for the picture. Just canceled my appointments for rest of the day; penciled in 5-7 hours of throwing up.


kwmurphy Since it's a prequel, will Scott Blackula be involved? #annoyatrekkie



Miscellaneous

michaeljnelson No breakfast meat this morning. Nothing... smoky. Nothing sizzling. Panic setting in! Aaaand... day ruined. Thanks, lack of breakfast meat.

BillCorbett Dame Judi Dench does an AMAZING Walken. (Though her DeNiro is even better.)

BillCorbett The online banking Personal ID Shield Image/Phrase I chose cracks me up every time. Ahh, well played, me of several months ago!

michaeljnelson Hey, there is another big movie opening this week you know: sparkly vampire R. Pattinson is Salvador Dali in 1922 Madrid as he...zzzz zzzzz

michaeljnelson Rhapsody is down. Don't have direct line to Leo Sayer music. Panic setting in!

BillCorbett Back from a birthday party full of 3 & 4 year olds. The kids loved my trenchant political satire!

BillCorbett @michaeljnelson @clastowka Suggestion for lunch: http://www.claimjumper.com/

michaeljnelson @BillCorbett FYI, I am exactly 11.3 miles West-south-west of Claim Jumper. If I move I will update you.

michaeljnelson BTW @BillCorbett remember last time we went to Claim Jumper and @kwmurphy shot the waiter for claim jumping? Dag nabbed embarrassing!

BillCorbett @michaeljnelson A-yep. @kwmurphy would NOT accept the fact that his mostly-finished Cobb Salad didn't constitute a "claim."

michaeljnelson Well, forget that - my local Claim Jumper closed and reopened as a Technical Violation of the Uniform Commercial Code.
