I didn’t have to think hard about this one: My pick is Beverly Garland, especially in “It Conquered the World.” Beverly is believable, genuine and sympathetic, despite acting opposite a giant pickle.
Who would be your pick?

Part two of the discussion of that rare animal: the GOOD performance in a MSTed movie. This one’s for the l-l-l-l-l-l-ladies.
If you missed the RiffTrax Live “Plan 9 from Outer Space” event last month, there will be another showing Thursday, Oct. 8, at many of the same movie theaters. Tickets are now on sale. More info here. Odd coincidence dept: I’m not a gamer, so before this weekend, I had never heard of Mega Man. This weekend my daughter played me some of “The Protomen” a rock opera loosely based on the video game that’s either incredibly epic or wildly self-indulgent. I’d need more hearings to be sure which it is. It’s certainly ambitious.
Anyway, it’s weird that I would suddenly be aware of the video game Mega Man and the next day somebody would email me about a Tom Servo mod for “Mega Man 3.” More info here. Guess it’s just going to be a Mega Man sort of week. Thanks to Brent for the heads up. Our favorite cowtown puppet show has again made an “Entertainment Weekly,” “best of” list. They came in 19th in a list of “Greatest Cult TV Shows Ever.”
Thanks to our pal Emily for noticing. |
