LOS ANGELES–Actor-writer-producer-director Robert Ginty, perhaps best remembered as the star of 1980’s “The Exterminator,” died here Sept. 21 of cancer. He was 60. MSTies will remember him as “the Paper Chase guy,” the title character of the movie in episode “501- WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD.” Thanks to Kate for the heads up. Bill Corbett will be teaching a class on “Writing Comedy” at IFP in St. Paul in October. Scroll down on this page to see the course listing.
Best Brains’ favorite PATRICK SWAYZE, who was saluted in Crow’s song “Let’s Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas” in episode 321- SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS, has died in Los Angeles. The AP has the story here. An open thread for reports from this weekend’s Cinematic Titanic shows in Chicago. If you have any photos, send ’em along and if we like ’em, we’ll use ’em!
