“Plan 9 from Outer Space”

Posted by speedygeoff on Sunday, November 23, 2008 with
"The Golden Turkey Awards" is a 1980 book by film critic Michael Medved and his brother Harry Medved. This book is credited with giving the movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space" by Edward D. Wood, Jr. the reputation of being the "worst movie ever made". I have seen "Plan 9" a couple of times and can confirm, it really is the worst movie ever made and released.

On Thursday at the track, a Turkey Award was presented to a goose. Gary Bowen was closest to his time in the 2000m. And what did he win? Movie tickets! Gary, make sure you plan to see a turkey! There are plenty of turkeys around, check out “Saw 5” and “The Women” for starters.

My plan to move from Internet Explorer to a new web browser, Opera, has been a total success. I am very pleased with Opera.
