I can't specifically remember any of the host segments from PLAN9, but I do know that I felt pretty much what you guys felt... "THAT'S how awful the movie is? Really?"<br /><br />Don't get me wrong. It was bad. But really, that was it? I can't vouch for memories, but it seemed okay to me, but I may have been too taken with the show.Tabkendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431369911171369557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441882467431112276.post-9989112350934108502009-07-12T11:09:37.074-07:002009-07-12T11:09:37.074-07:00And that's where the writers/'performance ...And that's where the writers/'performance block came from: we were expecting probably something like the Zucker brothers' version of The Creeping Terror. The actual movie could not have lived up to our expectation. No big deal, except that our production-line process didn't allow us a day or two time-out to adjust to the movie as it actually was, and produce accordingly. Because we did not expect anything from The Creeping Terror beyond a continuation of the dreary PRC product, we were caught off-guard by its peculiar charms and produced the Carpet Monster riff.<br /><br />Did the audience care? Who knows? I got overconfident and we didn't make as good a show as we could. So we needed to do better tomorrow, is what.The Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322048779156560794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441882467431112276.post-43844939600451173022009-07-12T07:42:47.944-07:002009-07-12T07:42:47.944-07:00The biggest problem with Plan 9 is that it's n...The biggest problem with Plan 9 is that it's not as horrible as people make it out to be. That is to say, when you consider the money it was made for, the talent of the director, etc. If you're taking those kinds of things into consideration, Joan Crawford's TROG is easily a worse movie. But no, when we see something like P9 we can easily forgive it for it's faults, because it probably cost less to make than our last Happy Meal.<br /><br />Still, it sucks, just not as bad as people made it out, (well obviously I'm referring to camp factor here) and certainly I don't think it's worse than CREEPING TERROR.Tabkendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431369911171369557noreply@blogger.com
