You know those moments in the theater when they stop riffing and start doing little comedy “bits?” Alert reader Michael K. does:
I’d have to pick Crow’s departure to and return from his “lifelong quest thingy” in “Magic Voyage of Sinbad.” What’s your favorite?  JUPITER, Fla.–Delbert “Del” Tenney, the producer and director of the movie in episode 817- THE HORROR OF PARTY BEACH, died at his home here Feb. 21. He was 82. He acted on Broadway and did extra work in “Stalag 17” and “The Wild Ones.” Following successful stints of summer stock, he moved behind the camera. In addition to “Horror of Party Beach,” he is also known for “The Curse of the Living Corpse.”He and wife were also patrons of the arts, donating to many local theater companies. In his later years, he sold real estate. In other passings, I can’t keep track of everybody in all the RiffTrax movies, but I happened to notice: James K. Shea, producer/director of “Planet of Dinosaurs” died recently of a heart attack. Also, Sidney Berger, who played peeping tom John Linden in “Carnival of Souls” passed away earlier this month. “The Incredible Mr. Lippert” featurette from the Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXIII DVD set has been nominated for a Rondo Award, and it needs your vote. Visit the award site to find out more.
… they need to get the rights. Enter Kickstarter.
UPDATE: In slightly more than an hour, the $55,000 goal was reached. Amazing–but not surprising, to me. I know you people. Still, when they have to back the money truck up, they’ll need all they can get, so if you still want to contribute, please do. |
