Weekend Discussion Thread: Dumbest Statements in MSTed Movies

Alert reader Ken suggests:

My wife suggested a good one — dumbest statements made in a movie. Our first choice comes from Tia Carrere’s character in ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE: “This is a really big garage.” My second (perhaps oddly enough) comes from Eva in THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN: “Squeamy Ellis?” which of course results in the classic comeback — “how many Squeamies do you know?”

Oh, no choice: From “The Amazing Colossal Man”: “…the heart is made up of a single cell for all practical purposes…”

What’s your pick?

RIP Stan Chambers

stan_chambersHolmby Hills, Calif.–Stan Chambers, the beloved television news reporter whose more than six-decade career at KTLA-TV Channel 5 spanned nearly the entire history of the pioneer Los Angeles TV station and made him one of Southern California’s most enduringly recognizable faces, died at his home here February 13. He was 91.
MSTies will recall his performance as the TV announcer in the movie in episode 319- WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST.

The L.A. Times has a nice long obit.

Thanks, as always to Paul and Duane for the heads up.
