Speaking of Moonbats...

A post by Maynard

Legend would have it that the absolute worst movie ever made was Plan 9 from Outer Space. This marked the cinematic pinnacle of the peerless auteur/artiste, Edward D. Wood, Jr. Wood's campy failures developed a cult following that continues to this day, prompting director Tim Burton to tell his tale in a movie, "Ed Wood".

(It should be clarified that, in discussing bad movies, we speak of movies that are (arguably, at least) so bad they're good. There are also execrable movies that are merely vile, which is another category entirely.)

"Plan 9" came to mind when I noticed the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles has scheduled a screening this Tuesday. This is a rare viewing opportunity, and the show might be entirely ignored; then again, the whole town may show up. I wonder.

The New Beverly is noteworthy as the last of the repertory cinemas. It's a dump, with sticky floors and squeaky seats that poke at you with rusty springs. Someday I suppose this, too, will be gone, another victim of the wired society. When that day comes, I shall be sad.
