Plan 9
Hah! I got cultured! Sort of ...
Plan 9 From Outer Space was the entertainment event of the evening; complete with a live string quartet and voice actors to handle the lines. Our local cool movie house, appropriately named the Hollywood Theater, put on a showing with musicians, voice actors and an incredible woman who handled the foley and sound effects.
The poster has essentially nothing to do with the actual move. In fact, the movie has little to do with the movie. Zombies, aliens, nuclear war and solarbonite come together with Bella Lugosi and Ed Wood to create one of the most famous - and famously horrible - movies ever made.
Plan 9 is absolutely horrible, no doubt about it but the live music - a chance to hear that classic 'thriller' music live isn't something to pass up - and live voice actors (including a vocal mimicry of Arnold Schartzenneger at his most Austrian), made the entire event worth every penny and more.
Vampira and Bella Lugosi (in his final role) took their turns - without any speaking lines - staggering across the screen and the Swedish Angel had the honor of carrying Schwartzenegger's voice (perfectly done).
It was great fun and, best of all, the organizers of this movie are doing another one next week. The poster involves a woman in a space suit and a giant tentacle. I can't wait.
Hopefully, none of this will give me ideas for fic or gaming.
