Meanwhile, I believe <strong>Clumsy</strong> and <strong>Brainy</strong> represent an stereotypical gay couple. Besides 100 males with only one woman would have to go gay unless the woman was Madonna.<br />

<p>The curse of Superman mainly strikes the actors cast as the good guys &ndash; play one of them, and there&#8217;s a good chance your career will stall or you&#8217;ll suffer serious misfortune. The most famous victims are George Reeves and Christopher Reeve. George played Superman in the 1950s. In 1959, eight days before he was due to be married, he was found dead from a gunshot wound, a mystery that provided the plot of last year&#8217;s Hollywoodland, starring Ben Affleck. Christopher was paralyzed after being thrown from his horse in 1995. In 2004, he died from heart failure. </p>
<p>      Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) now suffers from bipolar disorder. Marlon Brando played Superman&#8217;s dad before a series of tragedies befell his personal life, involving the imprisonment and death of his son Christian. Richard Pryor (Superman III), was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The careers of actors Kirk Allen and Dean Cain nose dived after playing the Man of Steel. </p>

John Candy was considered for the role before dying of a heart attack in 1994, and Chris Farley was rumored to have accepted the role before dying of a drug overdose in 1997.</p>

<p>      In a disastrous location selection the film was made in Utah&#8217;s Snow Canyon which was chalk full of fallout from nearby nuclear bomb tests at Yucca Flats. Of the 220 crew members 91 developed cancer and 46 died including the film&#8217;s star John Wayne, director Dick Powell and Susan Hayward.<br />

<p>      You know you&#8217;re having a bad day or watching a terribly stupid movie when someone close to you is carried off by a<br />
      ghost dinosaur  These usually invisible ghosts of giant herds of dinosaur ghosts. The movie asserts that oil fields are actually just dinosaur cemeteries. When the &#8216;disease&#8217; is in advanced stages the herd is not only visible but will grab you up.</p>

<p>TLW Disease is apparently airborne and causes airplanes to crash barbecuing three victims. Somewhat disturbingly the foreman pins his escape plan on getting 10 people into the tiny four person Cessna 172 (but the movie was on a limited budget).</p>
<p>          <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Travel by sea, the air and land are definitely unsafe but no one dies on the water so it&#8217;s probably the safest means of transportation.</p>

<p>      The strategy of &quot;mainstreaming&quot; is to put children who can&#8217;t keep up with grade level work in the class with functioning students.  Across the country teachers are spending a huge percentage of their time slowing down their curriculum to try to keep these slower students up with the rest of the class.  In Europe there is a college bound tract and a trade school tract where children who aren&#8217;t college material are taught valuable trade skills.</p>
<p><strong>Retard Survival Tip:<br />
</strong>The homicidal behavior was only exhibited by the nearly 300 pound Dawn Russell character so it&#8217;s safe to assume it only effects fat chicks (avoid them at all costs).</p>

<p>      At the end of the movie our lone survivor emerges from her abandoned hospital room to here thumping noises. You can tell the camera starts to pan back to reveal the city she is staring at only to abruptly cut to black. It&#8217;s pretty obvious the movie was aiming for one of those 28 Days Later city in ruins shots but lacked the budget.</p>
<p><strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      If you don&#8217;t have the money to film something leave it out (see original Star Wars). When hiring a script writer don&#8217;t grab the same lazy idiot who ended the last episode of the Sopranos by clicking the off button in the middle of a scene.</p>

<p>      Scientists have long theorized that dinosaurs somehow evolved into modern day birds.  This movie finally puts the debate on that and drilling in ANWAR to rest. Specifically crows are most closely related to dinosaurs. These crows have something to do with the TLW disease, have somehow developed an immunity to live in the Arctic tundra. The crows subsist in the frigid temperatures by consuming the numerous human victims of the TLW disease.<br />
      <strong><br />
      Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Bring along a be bee gun, the crows may or may not have anything to do with the disease but by killing them you can ensure that at least your remains aren&#8217;t eaten by the flying scavengers.</p>

<p>      A giant herd of caribou like dinosaurs with antlers reveals what only a few brave scientists have theorized. This herd  appears as wind to the uninfected only to appear and kill their victims once infected by the disease.</p>
<p>        <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Take a Bible with you this whole evolution thing is incompatible with the creation theory of God making everything in seven days. The book many not only save your spirit but it might just make these make-believe creatures  disappear.</p>

<p>      Originally the movie was going to be shot in the grassy forests of Alaska. When ANWAR became more relevant filming was moved further north and one early shot was left in showing the test well much further south in a grassy area.</p>
<p>      <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      The test well is nothing more than a large refrigerator sized pandora&#8217;s box. Covering it with Chernobyl style domes will lock the deadly disease causing gases inside. With the small size of the well an oversized salad bowl or camping tent should do the trick as the well cap is apparently only a few feet high.<br />

<p>      Frederick Hubbard Gwynne was a tall man, measuring 6&#8217;5&#8243;, but that wasn&#8217;t for playing the beloved father of the monster family.  Every day of recording Gwynne would put 50 pounds of padding, makeup, and would strap on 4-inch elevator shoes.  His face was actually painted a bright red because it captured the most amount of light on black-and-white film.  When asked off camera in his later years about <em>Herman</em>, Gwynne was quoted as saying &#8220;I might as well tell you the truth. I love old Herman Munster. Much as I try not to, I can&#8217;t stop liking that fellow.&#8221;</p>
<p>
      Having over 55 TV and movie credits to his name, Gwynne was a celebrated movie and stage actor as well as a father of four and loving husband.  Gwynne died of pancreatic cancer in 1993, just 8 days short of his 67th birthday.  His grave remains unmarked in Finksburg, MD.</p>

<p>      Albert Meister was an American actor whose life was extinguished after a short 82 years.  Lewis is best known as his role of <em>Grandpa</em>, where he would be forever type cast.  In order to have a more complete life post his monster-job, Lewis opened a restaurant, was a political candidate, and a radio broadcaster.  A little known fact about Lewis is that he played the father to Lily, who he was younger than in real life.</p>
<p>      One thing for sure is that Lewis had been found contradicting himself many times.  Facts that could never be proven include his birth year (1910 or 1923), his questionable Ph.D. from Columbia, his claims to have been in World War II, and whether he was ever a good actor.</p>

<p>      Margaret Yvonne Middleton of Vancouver, British Columbia was the female lead of the TV show, which she played rather convincingly (I still have nightmare sexual dreams about her).  While on the show, Lily was never looked poorly upon for her choice in following the TV career, though it was a large drop in popularity versus her movie career where she played opposite actors like Burt Lancaster, Clark Gable, and Siney Poitier.</p>
<p>      Yvonne was honored with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and will be looked upon with interesting thoughts since she released a book about initimate friends, including Aly Khan, Billy Wilder, Burt Lancaster, Howard Hughes, Robert Stack and Robert Taylor.</p>

<p>      Patrick Alan Lilley peaked as Eddie, where he received $600 per episode (while the average adult salary was $46 a week).  Of course because most sitcom actors from the 1960&#8242;s receive no residuals, Butch would continue to have to work in order to make a living.  In order to ride the Eddie into the ground, Butch started a band named <strong>Eddie &#038; The Monsters</strong>.</p>
<p>      Butch would show up on VH1&#8242;s list of 100 Greatest Kid Stars, coming in at #45.  Then in July 2008 he would be seen on a courtroom TV show because his website was robbed by a friend, which he wound up having to pay $1,400 because of.</p>

<p>      Beverly played the role of Marilyn during the first season only (a role she disliked, and only accepted out of contractual obligations to Universal Studios). After thirteen episodes, Owen left the program to get married, and was replaced by Pat Priest. Beginning in 1971 she appeared for two years on Another World, after which she retired from television and chose to perform exclusively in live theatre.</p>
<p>      Truth is that there&#8217;s not much more information about Owen, as she wasn&#8217;t the prettier or more talented of the Marilyn&#8217;s and besides off-off-Broadway stuff she probably only did work in high school auditoriums.</p>

<p>      The running gag of Marilyn&#8217;s character was that this normal, beautiful blonde was keenly aware that she was the &#8220;ugly&#8221; or &#8220;plain&#8221; one in the family. Priest continued where Owen left off until the series ended.  Priest was by far the most attractive regular on the show and would most likely have been asked to join Baywatch if the Hoff were out of diapers at that time. </p>
<p>      After the series ended, Priest appeared on episodes of TV programs such as Bewitched, Perry Mason and Mary Tyler Moore.  Though she retired in the 1980&#8242;s, she continues to attend &#8220;Munster&#8221; revivals and conventions.</p>

<p>      The Raven was voiced by Mel Blanc and occasionally Bob Hastings.  The raven lives in the Munsters&#8217; cuckoo clock and repeats the word &#8220;Nevermore&#8221;. It is Herman&#8217;s target when he&#8217;s angered, causing Herman to throw objects at him on occasions. Sometimes, the raven will come out of his clock, but often only for short periods, or to flee when he thinks there is a catastrophe. </p>
<p>      I&#8217;m not sure what caused Hastings to have to follow up Blanc for this prestigious, faceless job&#8230; but it&#8217;s always nice to have an understudy.</p>
