Weekend Discussion Thread: Most Memorable or Painful Deaths

Alert reader Michael suggests:

Most memorable and/or painful deaths in an MST Movie. This popped in my head after seeing Wilson getting shot with a flare gun. Examples: the guy who gets impaled with a giant hypodermic needle in “The Amazing Colossal Man,” Hubbs getting eaten by thousands of ants in “Phase IV” and the residents of Fly Creek becoming worm food in “Squirm.”

I’d pick the extended death of the evil researcher guy in “Devil Fish,” the one that prompted Crow to note: “Please! Francisco Franco died quicker!”

What would you pick?

Manos Sequel Casting/Staffing News

Rupert at Valley Loogie, er, Lodge tells us that Dug Pinnick, lead singer and bassist from alternative band King’s X, has joined the cast, suggesting that there may be truth to the rumors that there will be musical elements to the movie. In addition, Helene Udy (“My Bloody Valentine,” “Star Trek DS9,” “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman”) has joined the cast.

On the production side, Marvel Comics’ Michael Ryan (Runaways, X-Men: Manifest Destiny, Iron Man, Magic: The Gathering trading cards) is on board to do storyboards. Also, David C. Hayes will helm the screenplay. PB&J (who’ve contributed music to “American Idol,” “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” “So You Think You Can Dance?,” “America’s Got Talent,” “The Real World” and more) will produce/compose the original soundtrack/songs.

As he has done for several years, Rupert roamed the aisles of Comic-Con as ToRgO, this year accompanied by “The Master.” This year they spent some time searching for new wives.
