Hail to the worst movie ever made



About a week ago, my parents decided to have a Woody Allen film festival. Now, I was very happy about this, because last year I acted in the play God, by the afore-mentioned Woody Allen. I was in the greek chorous, but since we only had two people, it wasn't the crappy part you might think it was. We watched Mighty Aphrodite and Sleeper. Sleeper was made in the 70's, about a man who was frozen for 200 years, and has now awakened in 2270. Vegetables and chickens are huge, and people get high from a small metal orb passed around at parties. There is a scene in which he is bouncing around in a hydro-vac suit, and you can clearly see the strings pulling him up into the air. Yay for the early days of special effects!
Oh, and by the way, never, I mean NEVER, see the movie Plan 9 from Outer Space. Can we say "worst movie ever made in the history of forever"? I think we can. It was designed to be so bad it was funny, but I think they overstepped the line by a lot. Which brings me to the unpleasent subject of The Omega Man. Comes in a close second to Plan 9 for worst movie ever. The main character DIES in the end. Ouch. In a pool of water filling slowly with his own blood, while a large and completely un-futuristic spear protrudes from his armpit. I can't believe sombody got the funding to make that pitiful excuse for a movie.
