...aka my special thread about how much I love Plan 9 From Outer Space. It is my favorite movie for serious.

"You know, it's funny how those on Earth who can think are so afraid of those who cannot...the dead.

Well, our spaceship is ready, so..."

Note: This is coming from a person who has not seen Pootie Tang

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't care what Pootie Tang is about, it doesn't have the line "Murdered! And someone is responsible!"

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Haven't seen this film in about 2 years, and even then, I remember being half-asleep, seeing (what looked like) Elvira and wondering if someone slipped me some E.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh come on. Plan 9's reputation is totally overdone. It's not even Ed Wood's best (or "best") film. (Although the "Murdered! And somebody's responsible!" line is classic.)

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

"My friend, you have seen this incident based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen? Perhaps on your way home, you will pass someone in the dark, and you will never know it, for they will be from outer space. Many scientists believe that another world is watching us this moment. We once laughed at the horseless carriage, the aeroplane, the telephone, the electric light, vitamins, radio, and even television! And now some of us laugh at outer space. God help us... in the future."

Chris stop killing my joy, I havent had sleep! I MEAN VITAMINS FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY IS THIS ALARMING TO THEM?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris is sadly mistaken -- overdone, yeah, but the point is, BRILLIANT.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Gattaca is better than Plan 9

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

That is what I'm going to wear to MY funeral!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

The Elvira dress?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes you could make a great 10 minute clip-a-thon from it but it is no Glen... Or Glenda? -- so much of it is so tedious.

But I mean, I'm happy it makes you happy, Ally.

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought that WAS you, Spencer!

Gattaca is lame, the best thing about it was when I was watching it and my date turned and goes, "You look like Uma Thurman!" and I was like no I fucking don't.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, wouldn't you, Dan?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Gattaca is better than Plan 9

Ha! Legs... don't work... must make it up this... incredibly... heavy-handed... metaphor!

TS: Gattaca v. Riding With Death

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

(Did you have on your alien eyes for that date, Ally?)

Even in death I doubt I will have the hips to carry off that dress.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

"You know what this means? We must get drunk immediately!"

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan I wear my alien eyes to every date. It drives the boys WILD!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:00 (twenty-two years ago)

all ed wood films are better remembered than watched (nb: this is the secret of "ed wood," the film). although "glen and glenda" does have a pretty strong fascination.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Well Ally, that explains why he thought you were Uma Thurman! Leave off the ginormous forehead extension, too.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, shut up, Darius Rucker.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Glen... or Glenda? is very watchable and is, I would argue, a non-ironically good film.

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

So is Plan 9! This just proves that the people of earth are all stupid! STUPID STUPID STUPID!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

But that's is my point! Just as you would need fake alien eyes and a prosthetic forehead to look like Uma Thurman, I would need twenty pounds and a large does of hayseed to look like Darius Rucker!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm obviously missing something here. I'm going to watch Pootie Tang and pretend this never happened.

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

sa da tay!

sine your piddy on the runny kine!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still waiting for Battlestar Gattaca, starring Ally as Caseoipia [sp?] and Dan as Boomer. With Ned and Lorne Green!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:07 (twenty-two years ago)

"that's is"? "a large does"? Did the pointing out of your strange clone-like (see the Gattaca tie-in, smooth right?) resemblance to HOOTIE ruin your English skillz? BWAHAHAHA.

Spencer I kiss you for that image.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

and I meant to say Ned as Lorne Green.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Shhh...shhh...don't speak, you're ruining my moment.

Ok, moment over. We should have an ILX Plan 9, I mean Ned practically is Criswell.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer, that should be the next ILX film project! Who burns to direct it?

(I'd say me, but then I'd be tempted to include rubber and a few chains, as part of the costumes).

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

well i'm wearing a dress so i'm in

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

"POOTIE DON'T NEED NO WORDS!! POOTIE DON'T NEED NO MUSIC!!"

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, this only means you have to eventually graduate to "Orgy Of The Dead".

"It would please me to see the SLAVE GIRL with her TORTURES!"

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I think my SOUL-SUCKING JOB is responsible for the death of my English skills.

Clearly "Battlestar Galactica" needs to be remade ILX-style as a latex-and=spanking extravaganza.

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:17 (twenty-two years ago)

DB and Dan, you've read my mind;>

Having men to direct, attached to leashes: film meant to pleasure the fearless.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom, I know we mostly agree, but Starbuck is not sporting a mullet, per se...

It was awesome that that Bob robot was like an old Southern man or something. Its good to see hick stereotypes being represented in space.

That looks like Charlotte Rampling in Tom's pic.

Can I just say that I agree with the title of this thread whole-heartedly?

I HAVE REASON TO LIVE ANOTHER YEAR: ED WOOD COMES OUT ON DVD ON FEBRUARY 4, 2004.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Long fucking overdue on that score, let me tell you! I'm waiting impatiently.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Me too, me too. I practically had an orgasm when I read that until I realized how FUCKING FAR AWAY February 4th is.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:23 (twenty-one years ago)

The scary thing is that every other Tim Burton movie was on DVD already. Fucking Planet of the Apes was on DVD. Jeez.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:25 (twenty-one years ago)

They should put together a Tim Burton collection box set?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah! with MONKEYBONE in it!! and the first BATMAN!! and etc. etc. hit or miss

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

What is your issue with Batman???

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

That movie was fucking awful. I fall asleep every time I watch it. I think I just find Batman annoying in general though.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

What does Burton have to do with Monkeybone? If I remember correctly, nothing.

― TEH ONE AN ONLEY DEANN GULBAREY (deangulberry), Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I've noticed your issues with Batman before. I think this boils down to less on Tim Burton and more on some strange hatred you have towards Bruce Wayne. What he ever did to you, I'll never understand. He just wants to be a scientist, man.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 23 December 2003 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)
