Public Domain from Outer Space
Black_by_Pubic_Deman writes "It is a work of art that truly represents the nadir of film making; a movie so bad that it's good. It has been labelled 'The Worst Movie Ever' by the Golden Turkey Awards and is also the winner of two notable Razzies. Ed Wood's classic and every Slashdot reader's favorite movie Plan 9 from Outer Space is now in the Public Domain and available as a free download thanks to the fine folks over at Archive.org."
Plan 9 From Outer Space is better than half the movies available in the theatres now.
Perhaps we can place a copy onboard for the next shuttle launch and send that piece back where it came fome. *shudder*

It may not be public domain, but it certainly does qualify as the worst operating system ever. :)
No kidding; especially since Plan 9 had Bela Lugosi and The Matrix had Kenny whats-his-name.
After all, it's future events such as these that affect us in the future!
"Karloff did not deserve to smell my shit! That limey cocksucker can rot in Hell for all I care!"
Too bad that it's actually not watchable. I mean, there's something cool about something so bad it's good, but this movie is so bad that it went straight through bad, PAST so bad it's good, and back into bad again, so bad it's undescribably unpleasant to watch it. I'm talking kicked in the testicles bad. but worse.
The only movie I have ever seen that I disliked more was a tie between Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. If there was ever a case for copyright extension, keeping those piles of shit out of the public domain IS IT.
I am NOT kidding. This movie is BAD.
Like anyone could even know that, Napoleon!
Size of my arse I wouldn't even notice...
The truly sad thing about your post is that I am entirely unable to discern whether or not you are being serious.
English is easier said than done.
I have to agree with the MST3K crew that there are several others even worse, like Manos.

The Master would like to have a word with you
The best news of all is that this script--pure Hollywood gold--is now available for Michael Bay or the Wachowski brothers to work their magic.
Tom Cruise as Jeff Trent! Jennifer Lopez as Paula Trent! William Shatner as Inspector Dan Clay!
Money in the bank, I tell you. Ka-ching!
Well, I really hope you lot all really do want this film, and aren't just leeching it "because it's there".
You must be new here.
What are you doing? Shut up... shut up.... Aw DAMMIT! My download just dropped 100kb/s.
You've managed to get a GNAA post modded +1 informative!
I tip my hat to you sir.

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
Fantastic 4 is out? Shit! I havn't even seen Fantastic 1 yet!
*also ducks*
I watched this from Netflix a few months back.
I think my favorite line was:
"Why are we attcking you? Because you're a bunch of idiots!"
...combined with all the deep emotion of RFC 2616
You've obviously never read the "Clockless Origin Server Operation" section of RFC 2616.
Stop the world; I need to get off.
