Followup-filter: Previously, we discussed the strange case of After Last Season, the strange, deadpan trailer for a film that provoked curiosity around the 'net. Hoax? Comedy? Performance art? After Last Season has just made its (4 city) premier and the first reactions are in ... "It's not a joke, it's not viral marketing. It's 100% real." "That trailer is 100% accurate." "This has to be a joke." "It's about a lot of blank walls and paper and furniture." "So genuinely and startlingly bad that a movie cult will undoubtedly form around it." Perhaps it can be explained by the directors unique approach to assembling a film, as revealed in an interview with the lead actor and in a Facebook entry.

The Haunted World of Ed Wood Jr. [1hr 52mn. From YouTube Movies. Previously] From IMDB: "Produced by Ed Wood's former business partner, "The Haunted World of Ed Wood, Jr" is a compilation of people who knew Ed Wood, either personally or professionally, discussing various elements of his personality. The interview segments are spliced with revealing clips from his films, including clips from: "Bride of the Atom", "Glen or Glenda", and "Plan 9 From Outer Space". Different people being interviewed see Ed Wood from unique perspectives. These perspectives range from adoration, to contempt, to pity, to adulation. The interviews reveal as much about the cast as they do about Ed Wood. Also contains footage of Ed Wood's first TV commercial and unreleased short productions including "Crossroads of Laredo" and another 5 minute western originally meant to be a home movie. In the end, this low-budget movie stays true to Ed Wood's heart, and gives a both a devoted fan or just a curious onlooker very personal insights into this complicated man."

Ed Wood? Noooooooo!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans have been enjoying Rifftrax for a while now [previously], but the movie riffing experience just isn't the same without Mike and the 'bots at the bottom of the screen to watch the movie with us. Now a MST3K and Rifftrax fan has brought the 'bots back in this ten minute "proof of concept"-type video of a MSTed Plan 9 From Outer Space.

A bizarre oversight is finally being corrected: Edward D. Wood Jr., the writer-producer-director of Plan 9 From Outer Space, has a chance to get the Hollywood Blvd star he deserves.

Future events such as these will affect you in the future!

Can you prove it didn't happen? Best known for his work on Plan 9 from Outer Space, the Amazing Criswell had quite a career outside of his rare appearances in film. The spit-curled, stentorian psychic had a penchant for bizarre predictions, was the source for music by Mae West, and inspired some damned interesting writing.

The strange story of Billy Yeager aka Jimmy Story the lost son of Jimi Hendrix aka independent film-maker extraordinaire.
I was wearing wigs and disguising myself as different kinds of people or sons of dead rock stars since 7th grade. I ran away at 13 years old. I lived in a tree house. I lost my virginity to a big fat girl who raped me on a hit of acid when I was 14 while her parents were in the living room watching All in the Family.

He's casting for a new film - albeit in a strange manner [swearing, violence, threats - maybe NSFW].

I don't care if it's the greatest operating system in the world.. It's still got a stupid name:
Doesn't Bell Labs' Plan 9 OS remind you of Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space?
