LOS ANGELES–Van Alexander, the three-time Emmy-nominated composer and band leader who co-wrote “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” with Ella Fitzgerald and went on to score dozens of films and TV shows in the 1950s and ’60s, died of heart failure Sunday, July 19, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center here. He was 100.
MSTies will remember his work as the musical score composer for the movie in episode 601- GIRLS TOWN.

Variety has the obit.

Thanks to my angels of death, Duane and Paul, for the heads up.

Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movies You Saw Before MST3K

Posted by Sampo, on July 18th, 2015

We did something very like this a number of years ago, but let’s do it again anyway. Alert regular Susan suggests…

Another suggestion: MST’ed movies you saw **before** they were riffing fodder, and what you thought of them.
My contribution would be memories of a very wimpy child. I saw “The Mole People” and “Teenagers from Outer Space” on the old 1960s Saturday afternoon b&w TV horror movie wastelands. TfOS scared the *** out of me with that skeletonizing ray gun! When I saw the movie again decades later on MST3K, I’d completely forgotten about it and was shocked to see scenes that I remember as being frightening looking so cheesy now. But, hey, I was just a little girl.

I’ve loved cheesy giant bug movies since I was a kid, and as a little boy “Beginning of the End” RIVETED me. I also remember “Kitten with a Whip” seeming VERY sexy to me! :)

Do you have any memories?

…to Timothy Van Patten for today’s Emmy nomination in the “Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series” category for the “Eldorado” episode of “Boardwalk Empire.” Van Patten, of course, played Max Keller in episodes 322- MASTER NINJA I and 324- MASTER NINJA II before going on to a stellar directing career.

Restored ‘Manos’ Due in Fall

Posted by Sampo, on July 16th, 2015

According the Synapse Films Facebook page:

SYNAPSE FILMS ART REVEAL for our upcoming edition of MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE! Cover art created by the awesome Joel Robinson, a man we’ve known for years and we’ve finally had the opportunity to work with. More details to come, but we’re fast-tracking this one as an October “Halloween” release. Once everything is coordinated for the sellsheet, etc. we may make the formal announcement next week, with extras, pre-order cut off, and street date details! To all the “Manos” restoration Kickstarter supporters out there… we are working RIGHT NOW to get both the DVD and BLU versions finished well before the “public” street date, so that all those that donated to Ben Solovey’s Kickstarter campaign for his restoration will receive their copies well ahead of everyone else. Stay tuned! For more information on Ben Solovey’s restoration efforts, please visit his site at: www.manosinhd.com
