Strange and Wonderful Interview with Mike

Michael_J_Nelsontwit_5_400x400 Tired of hearing interviewers ask the same old questions of cast members? Katie Rife of the A.V. Club has an interview with Mike that’s just what you’ve been looking for.

UPDATE: The same author wrote another MST3K-focused piece at the A.V. Club today.

RIP Noel Neill

Noel_Neill TUCSON, ARIZONA–Actress Noel Neill, best remembered as Lois Lane from the TV series “Adventures of Superman” from 1953 to 1958, died at her home here July 3 after a long illness. She was 95.
MSTies will remember that she played an airline desk clerk in the movie in episode 602- INVASION USA. (And those who saw the recent RiffTrax Live: MST3k Reunion show saw her in the “Stamp Day for Superman” short).

Her friend and biographer Larry Ward has a nice long bio.

Thanks to Kathy, Paul and Timmy (in that order) for their headses ups.

RIP James Victor

james_victor HOLLYWOOD—Actor James Victor died in his apartment here of heart disease June 20. He was 76. He may be best remembered for portraying the buffoonish Sgt. Jaime Mendoza on the 1990s Family Channel action-adventure series “Zorro.”
MSTies will remember his performance as Joey the pusher in the movie in episode 1002- GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS.

The Hollywood Reporter has the story.

Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.

Weekend Discussion Thread: What Movie Would You Like to Be In?

Alert reader David suggests:

I was watching the pre-show press conference and they were asked a question that might be fun to visit with us: what movie would you like to find yourself in? Frank immediately piped up: “Wild World of Batwoman,” to which Joel quipped “That came a little too quick, Frank.” :) Personally “Girl in Gold Boots”, for obvious reasons (Mike interestingly said the same). I’d like to sit in the back and see how long the dancers could Jerk and Pony.

I’d have to go with “Teenagers from Outer Space,” because I’m just an old chubby guy and I could go for a nap on the couch about now.

What’s your pick?
