SIFF Cinema and People’s Republic of Komedy present Ed Wood’s “Plan 9 From Outer Space” with commentary by Dana Gould (“The Simpsons”), Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu of Cinematic Titanic and MST3K.
Edward D. Wood Jr’s legendary “so bad it’s good classic” is back on the big screen. Plan 9 From Outer Space is a notorious bit of 1950?s science fiction/horror exploitation that is just begging for the comedy treatment, and SIFF has teamed up with The People’s Republic of Komedy to provide just that—with three hilarious guest commentators. Dana Gould is a comedian, writer onThe Simpsons, and personal friend of the late Maila Nurmi (aka Vampira). Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu are living legends known for their work onCinematic Titanic and Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Together they will guide you through this confounding, enticing, ridiculous and exciting tale of grave robbers…from outer space!At the Uptown Theater near Seattle Center. $15 | $10 SIFF Members | $14 Seniors (65+) and Youth (20 and under).

Well, this sure sounds like fun:
Thomas Rozwadowski of the Green Bay Press Gazette has a nice long piece about Joel’s upcoming “homecoming” show there.
Meanwhile, L. Paul Mann reviews the recent Santa Barbara show in The Examiner. Update: Damion Damaske reviews the Santa Barbara show as well, in the UCSB student paper.  
Poopie: (1994) The first of two blooper reels, this one featuring outtakes from host segments shot in seasons two through six. • The first time MSTies saw this reel (or a version of it) was at the 1994 convention. There were several showings, and it also played continuously on one of the hotel TV channels. My first copy was created by another MSTie, who set up a camcorder in front of a hotel TV to get a copy to take home. Here is a complete list of every outtake (many thanks to Sarah “Bookworm” Heiner and Jamie Plummer, who kept this online for many years), with a few interspersed comments. Opening credits–planet upside down, Joel goofing around • When you watch the completed episode, you might wonder why they cut away from this scene so quickly. When you see the full version here, you can see that they JUST barely got the line in before losing it yet again. 421- Monster-A-Go-Go (inven.)–Frank cracks up singing • A beloved bit of tomfoolery from Joel. 317- Viking Women Vs. Sea Serpent (prolog)–Joel flubs line • Mike says “shit.” Despite bleeping some of the cursing, they allowed a few of them through. I’ll note them. 201- Rocketship X-M (inven.)–Jim in shot • Jim clearly thought Joel was going to fall over in the BCG19 and was moving in to try to catch him, not caring if he was in the shot or not. Joel clearly found that touching and funny. 613- The Sinister Urge (seg. 4)–Trace forgets line • Trace says “shit.” 424- Manos: The Hands of Fate (seg. 4)–Frank forgets line • Joel says “shit.” Others sing it. 404- Teenagers From Outer Space (seg. 5)–Joel forgets line • Trace says “shit.” 620- Danger! Death Ray! (seg. 2)–Crow on fire • Another hilarious moment, not really a blooper so much as a just a candid moment on the set. 620- Danger! Death Ray! (seg. 1)–Servo’s head falls off Poopie 2: (1997) The second of two blooper reels, this one featuring outtakes from host segments shot in seasons seven and eight (mostly). • This was released by Best Brains on VHS around Thanksgiving, 1997. A listing of the complete “Poopie 2” tape is here but since it is now very hard to find, I put together a listing for the edited version on Vol 10, which is the version most fans have access to. Season 8 opening–signpost falls down • I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it feels to me like something is. Were they pretending the clip was staged or something? There’s a lot of layers to this one. 807- Terror from the Year 5000! (seg. 1)–Crow’s hand falls off • Um, is that a fake blood pack or something? Is it real? If it’s real, some people may find this sort of thing funny, but I don’t. I never heard that it’s not real. Does anybody know? If it’s real, it’s inclusion is appalling. 705- Escape 2000 (seg. 4)–Trace flubs line • A rare genuinely funny moment, as Mike blurts out a horrified “NOO!” to Trace’s line and everybody loses it. 822- Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (seg. 3)–Mary Jo flubs song 
This was the short riffed at the end of this week’s live internet show. RiffTrax will be taking to ustream.tv again Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 5 p.m. eastern/2 p.m. pacific. Mike, Kevin and Bill will compete in a blindfolded vodka taste test, and will end the show with a live riffing of a new short.
