'Plan 9' is overrated, IMHO. There are far, far worse movies out
there, some of them with multi-million dollar budgets... I'd rather
watch 'Plan 9' a hundred times than sit through a number of truly
atrocious movies I've seen movies for a second time.

....Hell, if we want to talk *cheap* and bad sci-fi movies, we need to
throw in David Sander's still-uncompleted work.

(and if that doesn't bring him out of hiding, I dunno what will :-P)

Nobody could beat Bella Shaw's move from entertainment news to the
serious stuff on CNN; I think that's where the idea of having the show
biz babe replace the serious news announcers on Babylon 5's ISN came
from.

And the newsreaders in "RoboCop"?

Unfortunately, however, she did the same thing in JPIII. Did her expression
change even once throughout that movie?

and shipped to drought-stricken regions. The last word I heard on this
one was that while getting the 'berg to the coast wasn't that
expensive, what killed the idea was a) where to actually beach the
damned thing, and b) the cost of transporting the ice to where it was
needed would have been far more expensive than originally estimated.

Check out "Texas on the Rocks" by Daniel da Cruz.

Curse you for making me remember that movie...

Had to go to the Editing Room (http://ter.air0day.com/index.php?
script=jp3) to get over it...

I think the worst "real space" movie had to have been
SpaceCamp. The least said the better.

But it had both Kate Capshaw and Lea Thompson, probably the only reasons to
watch the movie.

I'd thought the run of Mystery Science Theater 3000 buried, at
last, the notion that "Plan Nine From Outer Space" was even close to the
worst movie ever made. When there's soul-sapping things like "Manos" or
"The Beast of Yucca Flats" or "Hellcats" out there, "Plan Nine" is really
a friendly, almost delightful film. And that's not even putting it up
against the modern ability to make punishingly bad soulless garbage; at
least "Plan Nine" looks like it was made by somebody who was trying to
entertain.
