Weekend Discussion Thread: Oldest ‘Teenager’ in a Movie or Short

First of all, sorry for the late arrival of this. I’m having a crazy weekend (it’s St. Pat’s Parade Day in Scranton, don’t get me started).

Alert emailer “DaveyR_98” suggests we discuss…

“Oldest-appearing ‘teenager”” in a film. One rule: no fair looking up the actor’s age, this is just by appearance. Also, be aware that the actors in “Ring of Terror”were supposedly in medical school – they would have been in their (ha ha) twenties, so they are not eligible. My candidate: the “supernaturally unappealing” (Mike Nelson’s verbiage, applied to a different actor) Mel Torme in “Girls Town”.

I’m expanding the discussion to include shorts, allowing me to mention Liz, the Romulan roommate in “Is This Love?”

What’s your pick?

Weekend Discussion Thread: Pair Up Characters from Different MSTed Movies

Alert regular “S.” (who posts as “MSTie” in the comments) asks:

If you could pair up any two characters from two different MSTed movies, who would they be and why? Wouldn’t have to be limited to boy-girl romantic couples but that would be my first thought. I would pair up Paula from “The Violent Years” and Jimmy from “I Accuse My Parents.” These two delinquents could whine endlessly to each other about how they have too much money & privilege and that their parents ignore them, naturally leading to a life of crime.

I think Eegah and the She Creature might get along pretty well…shtemlo!
