Posted by Sampo, on May 24th, 2016  LONDON–Burt Kwouk, perhaps best remembered as Inspector Clouseau’s manservant Cato Fong in seven of Blake Edwards’ “Pink Panther” movies, has died here. He was 85.
Other movie appearances in his five-decade career included James Bond films “Goldfinger” and “You Only Live Twice,” as well as Fred Schepisi’s “Plenty,” Steven Spielberg’s “Empire of the Sun” and Roger Spottiswoode’s “Air America.”
MSTies will remember that he appeared in the movie The Brides of Fu Manchu (his character’s name in that movie was Feng), scenes from which were reused in the movie in episode 323- CASTLE OF FU MANCHU.
Variety has the obituary.
Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.

Posted by Sampo, on May 21st, 2016 In one of our recent Episode guide comments sections, we were discussing how STOOPID Jimmy from “I Accuse My Parents” was, when alert regular “Littleamishboy” suggested:
Gee, there’s a lot of competition though … Crayola Hat Guy, Doctor Ski Bum. the entire Japanese military/scientific establishment (“The monster called Godzilla is destroying the city! Quick, find an eight year old boy to tell us how to react!”).
Maybe a good discussion topic.
Indeed it is. I must begin with John Forsythe in “Kitten with a Whip”–the stupid against which all other stupid must be measured. Other than that, have at it.

Posted by Sampo, on May 20th, 2016  He’s been in the job a couple of months already, but today Joel announced that former ‘Daily Show’ head writer Elliott Kalan is the head writer for Joel’s MST3K revival. “I’m the luckiest man in recorded history,” he said in his statement to the backers.
And before the political back and forth begins, Joel took time in his announcement to explicitly state that his presence “doesn’t mean that we’re planning to make MST3K more political.”
So please be kind and observe the NO POLITICS rule in the comments. Thank you.
