Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movies by Good Directors

An alert regular suggests:

Last week’s WDT begs the companion idea, “Bad MST3K Movies as Re-Done by Good Directors.”

“The Deadly Bees,” as directed by Billy Wilder, who was also a great script writer: It becomes a film noir with serious conflict between Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove, and Doris the bar maid/housemaid is a real love interest of Hargrove’s. Vicki comes to Seagull Island not to battle exhaustion but alcoholism, and Dr, Manfred is much more menacing. Tess the Dog is NOT voiced by a human. The Bowler-Hatted-Man has a bigger role that actually makes sense, somehow.

Um, Batwoman joins the Avengers? It could happen!

What’s yours?

John Llewellyn Moxey, RIP


University Place, WA — Prolific director John Llewellyn Moxey, died April 29 at a hospice here of lung cancer. He was 94. MSTies will remember his work directing the movie/TV pilot in episode 614- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL.

Born in 1925 in Argentina, and after serving in World War II, he managed to get a job in Hollywood, starting in the editing room, then moving to assistant director. He later moved to television, where directed episodes of TV series such as “The Saint,” “Mission:Impossible” and “Kung Fu,” as well as the beloved “Night Stalker” movie/pilot. He retired in 1991.

Variety has an obit.

Thanks to Tim for the heads up.
