Last active:Sat Nov 1 2008 Have fun guys and girls! Let him have it for me ![]() http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0052077/usercomments?start=315 User comment:Jas Mann: Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) One of the Single Most Brilliant Films Ever Created, 20 March 2000 Author: Jasbinder Mann from hollywood, usa There is so much depth to this movie that people are missing. It seems to be a sort of an allegory for the end times. The aliens have come to warn us about our actions, much like the Day the Earth Stood Still(1951). However, in that film, the good guys(the aliens) win the fight and proceed to destroy the earth if we don't change our ways. In Plan 9 we humans are not able to comprehend the damage that we will inevitably cause because of our arrogance. The film does not have a happy ending. We humans destroy the aliens(the Christ-like Messiah characters, if you will) and continue in our stubborn ways. Not many films have ever been made with the humans being the villains, especially not in the 50's. Eddie was ahead of his time. Because Ed Wood made this film, against all odds, mind you(He had to go to terrific extremes to get it made), he is given the title of worst director of all time. Jesus, obviously, wasn't too popular in his time, either. Ed died because we couldn't accept his message. The public's ridicule of his film's drove him to alcohol, which eventually killed him after being kicked out of his apartment for lack of funds. I only hope that one day we will be able to comprehend Ed's message and try to change our evil ways. Technology is only going toward one end. Complete and utter destruction. We must listen to Ed Wood's message. It may be our only hope. -------------------- "Today I sleep in a chair by the window....it felt as if you'd returned. I thought that you were standing over me...when I woke there was no one there... I STILL love you BOY FROM MARS"

Hey you make a terrific detective girl! ![]() It really might be our Jas, especially as he mentions the film "Day the Earth Stood Still" in that review, which i know he likes. He's into that old Sci-Fi genre. |

Whatever you do, don't bloody bombard him with messages or he'll dig himself deeper!!

That's cool. I think we should definitely send him a copy of this tribute album if it ever gets finished.
