Dick Beals, RIP

Voice actor Dick Beals, perhaps best remembered as the voice of the Speedy Alka-Seltzer, died May 29 at a southern California nursing home, he was 85. We’re just about certain he provided the voice of Gumby in the short “Robot Rumpus,” featured in episode 912- THE SCREAMING SKULL.

Our pal Jerry Beck has an appreciation.

Reminder: ‘Chaos at the Colonial’

Well, this should be fun…

Saturday, June 2, 8 p.m.
Joel Hodgson (creator, writer and star of MST3K) and his students from Riff Camp 2012 are bringing some college-level movie riffing to the Colonial Theatre, 227 Bridge St., Phoenixville, Pa., in a movie riffing battle royale. Four groups will compete on stage riffing some truly horrible short films, and the audience will decide who is the victor! Warm up act Harrison “Dr. Wizard” Lichtner and Dave “Drop Zone” Piccinetti will do battle in an experimental demonstration in the art of “movie clashing.” Also, Joel “The Creator” faces off with Chris “The Ultimate Authority Sampo” Cornell during “Talking MST3K” followed by an audience Q&A. To wrap it all up, Joel will screen one of his favorite MST3K episodes — I Accuse My Parents — and discuss it in a not so scholarly fashion after the live show.

Tickets are $10; $8 for seniors & students; $6 for members & children younger than 13.

There’s also a VIP package ($34) that includes reserved seating, backstage meet & greet with the cast at 7:30, event poster, free medium drink and medium popcorn.

This will be general admission seating (except for VIP Package tickets). Ticket prices do not include the $1 per ticket service fee. Fees will be calculated at check out. Tickets available with cash, check or credit card at the Colonial Theatre Box Office, or online. Just click on the “Buy Tickets” link at the upper right of any page of the website to buy your tickets online.

Event posters (11×17) will be on sale for $10 at the show.

There will be an opportunity to get autographs and pictures during intermission, between the live show and I Accuse My Parents.

Tickets available here:

I am delighted Joel has invited me to this, and I can’t wait.

Update: Here’s the poster. And that’s all me, ladies. :-)

Weekend Discussion Thread: Quotes that Stuck with You

Alert reader David J suggests we discuss…:

…quotes from MSTed movies that really stuck with you for no reason. The biggest one that kept going through my head over and over was the line from Sidehackers, “I don’t believe it. You hit Big Jake.”

For me, I’d have to go with “I’m the wind, baby!”

What’s yours?
