“That was Plan 9, we don’t like to talk about it.” LOL! Good one today.

I’m pretty slow too…but I think that he’s just a fat bureaucrat/guy that they don’t like to talk about. I think it doesn’t go much farther than that.

That’s Tor Johnson, from “Plan 9 from Outer Space”; before “Battlefield Earth” came along, it was called the worst sci-fi movie ever made. I have it on DVD (“Plan 9,” that is).

Sherlock, a small quibble–thanks to its rediscovery by MST3K, “Manos: The Hands of Fate” has surpassed “Plan 9” as the Worst Movie Evar.

Plan 9 was an Ed Wood creation.

Dok Zoom, sorry to disagree but Manos isnt even in the same league as Plan 9. Plan 9 does have certain qualities which can cause us to forgive and even cherish it’s other, much more abundant, bad points. Manos is just plain bad. And not in the good kind of bad. To be the worst movie ever you have to at least have something that went wrong somewhere. Manos has absolutely no charm at all, it’s just something to be endured. If it wasnt for MST3K’s masterful dissection Manos wouldnt have a hand to stand on. Mixed metaphore and pun intended.

Myself, I thought the original War of the Worlds was a million times better than the Tom Cruise remake. Gak! The original had an epic scale, those incredible ships, a nice romance, and phenomenal effects. Yowza!

H.G. Wells needs to rise from the dead and kick Tom Cruise’s ass. Gene Barry and George Pal could take turns helping Wells even. That’d be a movie I’d pay $10 to see.

Dk. Zook, By the way the main character in the 1953 George Pal version of “War of the Worlds” was named Dr. Clayton Forrester.

Aug! And I’M listening to “Dream On” on my iPod right now! Darn it!

Some invasions are unobjectionable. The Girls From Planet 5 perhaps.
