TORONTO — Veteran character actor Maury Chaykin died here Tuesday, July 27, his 61st birthday. The award-winning performer, who had dual citizenship in Canada and the U.S., was noted for his roles in “Dances with Wolves,” “The Sweet Hereafter,” “Blindness,” “A Life Less Ordinary” and many other films. No cause of death was confirmed, but Chaykin had been battling kidney problems. MSTies will recall him as sinister Novacorp executive Gondol in episode 822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK. Beez McKeever, Trace Beaulieu, Clive Robertson, and Darkstar creator J. Allen Williams will be appearing in a Darkstar panel at DragonCon on Friday, September 3. A special teaser for the game will be shown, followed by a Q&A session. The final, official release schedule will also finally, officially be announced.

Alert reader Troy suggests:
I’m going to go with Bela’s plot in episode 105- THE CORPSE VANISHES. As Servo (I think) notes in a host segment, abducting a bride on her wedding day is, you know, bound to get noticed. 
Will Tony ever zip up his fly? What’s taped up in the refrigerator? Tune in and find out! The episodes that will be included in MST3K Volume XIX from Shout!Factory will be: episode 107- ROBOT MONSTER (with shorts: COMMANDO CODY Parts 4 and 5) episode 423- BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (with short: HIRED!, Part 1) episode 818- DEVIL DOLL, and episode 911- DEVIL FISH Yes, it’s monsters and devils. Also, a special edition of this release will include a Gypsy figurine that will be in proportion to the Servo and Crow figurines. (Awesome.) |
