I've heard that Plan Nine is regarded by many as the worst movie ever made. I finally got the chance to find out for myself last August, with three of the guys from the former Mystery Science Theater 3000 providing the hilarious commentary. I'm not sure if it's the worst. There are some other really bad movies out there. But it's certainly near the top, or the bottom, if you prefer.

That reminds me of the movie "Plan Nine from Outer Space." There is a chase scene in it where parts of it were filmed at night and other parts of it were filmed in the daytime. Did the people who made that movie really think that no one would notice?

Hi Folks,

I'm submitting a BSO tomorrow of a book I just finished reading. The book is Runelords: The Sum of All Men, the first book in the Runelords fantasy series by David Farland. I am series captain for this eight book, (so far) series.

It's actually a good book. Along with the conventional Fantasy elements, the author adds some imaginative ideas of his own and explores them in depth. The book also has greater moral complexity than a lot of Fantasy out there.

But in my opinion, the writing could be better. Here is perhaps one of the best examples that might give some of you a chuckle:

By evening the clouds blew out of the region altogether, and warmer air now suffused the night, almost as if it were any other afternoon in late summer.
