Weekend Discussion Thread: Grand Theft Movie

Posted by Sampo, on February 2nd, 2019

Alert reader Larry suggests:

In the “Beast of Yucca Flats,’ Mike accuses para-deputy Jim Archer of stealing the movie. I would argue that the mom and dad of yucca flats were the guilty party. but it had me wondering, who else in MST’d history was guilty of stealing a scene or movie when no one was looking. Or caring.

What’s your pick?

GareChicago: I can sum up that WDT right now, quick and easy:

Nobody’s mentioned the blind guy in Rocket Attack USA – the original reason for the existence of the stinger.

“I’m sure it all made much more sense in Hal Warren’s head.”

I wouldn’t bet on anything making sense in Hal Warren’s head.

touches no one’s life, then leaves: I regret to report that that word does not mean what you think it means:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catarrh

I think there IS a stringed instrument with a similar name, but thus far my guesses on its spelling have been inaccurate. So it goes.

Wait, now I remember, it’s not a CATAR, it’s a SITAR!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitar

Well, that was pointless…
