3:46AM - Interview: Mike Nelson
Over on SA, Lowtax has posted an interview he recently did with MST3K's Mike Nelson. In it, Mike talks about Rifftrax, the old days of MST3K, and the internet. There's even a section where he's discussing the Mike vs. Joel War on Usenet. I was very amused to hear Mike talk about wankery amongst the fans.
11:53AM - Galactus is coming!
Finally, this long-lost collaboration between Stan Lee and Jack Chick can be shared with all!
9:45PM - Battle of the Planets
I recently became curious about the 70's anime series Gatchaman and, just for fun, decided to look for clips or perhaps even full episodes of the first (and probably best-known) adaptation of it, Battle of the Planets. YouTube, of course, has not let me down. I thought I'd share, as I've seen a scattered few people say they grew up with this show. For others, well... lol at Casey Kasem doing the main character's voice and Keyop's weird manner of speech. (I've read that he talks that way in part because his counterpart in the original, Jinpei, was quite foul-mouthed. Why this translated into clicks and whistles is beyond me.)
Episode 1 (in 3 parts):

This same user has up to episode 11 or 12, I think. It's quite entertaining.
