Plan 9? Ah, yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary gland of the recently dead. Or alternately, you can just have MST3K's Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett broadcast a live-riffing to 433 theaters across America -- it's the same effect, in that it makes me so happy I've turned into a drooling moron. Yes, the Rifftrax crew will do a live riff of Plan 9 from Outer Space at 8pm EST on August 20th, broadcast from the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee, and oh my god, I can't even stand how awesome this is.
Join Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) and Bill Corbett (Crow T. Robot), now of RiffTrax.com, as they are reunited in HD for the first time ever on the big screen! This event will feature the world premiere of a brand new, never-before-seen short and non-stop hilarious riffing on a COLOR version of "Plan 9 from Outer Space"- a 1959 science fiction/horror film written, produced and directed by Edward D. Wood Jr.
This event will be hosted by Veronica Belmont, the Host of Tekzilla on Revision3 and Qore on the PlayStation Network, with Musical Guest Jonathan Coulton and a special segment by Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka of Something Awful.
Everyone Loves Free Stuff...
All event attendees will receive FREE exclusive digital goodies including a never before seen downloadable short, an autographed digital photo of the guys and a song by the RiffTones! A URL and code will be revealed on-screen at the end of the event.
Check out how close it's playing to you here, as well as buy tickets. I'd also like to add YES FUCK YES YES YES YES and AAARRRRGGHGGGHHHGGHH.

Holy. Shit.
I'm *in* Nashville. I love the Belcourt so, so much.

*sigh* I'm stuck in stupid Georgia. Cinematic Titanic was in Atlanta back in May, but unfortunately I already had plans and couldn't change them. And now Rifftrax is going to be in Tennessee and I'm without travel cash.
Oh great Torgo the White, will you not show mercy to us not in Tennessee?
Merle said:
I'm really curious to see how well this does (at the simulcast locations, I'm sure the actual live event will sell out). I have a nagging fear that it will be me sitting in a theatre with like 5 other people.

@Merle: I would prefer that size a crowd. Large numbers scare me.
False Moustache said:
So it's going to be simulcast, yes? Because it appears it will be playing in my town!!!!
And to think, I JUST bought tickets to see Cinematic Titanic live in St Louis the night before my birthday. I haven't experienced this much serendipity since John Cusack found love in the time of cholera.
MattK said:
Okay, so I see that I'll be able to watch it in a theater near me. Was afraid there for a minute.
You know what's gonna be sad? That this will make more money with less advertising dollar than the Universal-backed Mystery Science Theater 3000 Movie. Oh well, I DEFINITELY won't miss THIS.

Just another reason that I wish I live in the US
Listy said:
Is it possible...could it be playing in my town? IT IS? Woot! I am so there!
sal said:
just bought tickets...My GF asked, whats a RiffTrax??
emerson999 said:
I'm very shocked to find this is actually playing near me! Though I do kinda wish it was on a friday or the weekend. Thursday, really?
MattK said:
Any chance that they'll sit in theater shadow a la MST3K? For old times sake?
Bates said:
I sure hope they do sit in the theater shadow, thats the only way this could possibly be better!
DJRM said:
Whoa was that supposed to be an orgasm or something at the end there?
GreyFox 00 said:
why plan 9 though?! it's a b movie classic couldn't they have waited for the next twilight movie?
Snoodle said:
Not that it's anywhere near me, but the fact that it exists is like Christmas wrapped in birthdays with ice cream on top.
Papasan said:
Tape delayed on the West Coast. Fooey. I was SO excited about this until I read that. I am a live event whore, and will not accept tape delay.

I'd also like to add YES FUCK YES YES YES YES and AAARRRRGGHGGGHHHGGHH.
My thoughts exactly.
I can't believe this is actually going to be shown in my area. I'll find some way to go. There's no way I'm missing this.
Rex Splode said:
I wish I were at the live event which is set to be hosted by Veronica Belmont and have the great JoCo as a musical guest, but... hopefully that'll also be simulcast!

Excellent news. I've seen Cinematic Titanic live here, and I'm sure this will be good as well.
Odkin said:
I don't know how these guys sleep at night capitalizing on Joel Hodgson's creation. You can like Mike all you want, but this isn't his idea, he is stealing it.
Jess said:
@Odkin: Don't get me wrong, I love Joel, but he wasn't the first person to ever make fun of a bad movie. Mike isn't stealing anything. He has every right to riff movies, and I for one am very happy he does.
Mira said:
Dammit. I've always really wanted to see Plan Nine, and I love Rifftrax, but the only theatre that's playing it in my area is... well, sort of notorious for being both creepy and ridiculous. I have to weigh the good and the bad. (Right now, I'm leaning heavily towards "going."
GalvaTRION said:
I'm so fucking PSYCHED. I work weekend nights, so that means that... somehow... the sexy bastards KNEW that by having it on Thursday night, I'd actually be able to attend!
I think what I'm experiencing... is this emotion called... happiness? Love, perhaps? Either way, I'm going to jerk off in the shower now. WHO WILL JOIN MEE!?
Jeremy said:
Showing in multiple locations throughout Indiana. WTF!! Going to see it in Naptown.
The Great A'Tuin said:
FUCK YES! The people simulcasting it put on a reshowing of WarGames last year. I went, and although the projector(or whatever it is) broke down for a few minutes, it was still awesome. They gave us all drink coupons for the inconvenience. I was able to have 2 DRINKS at the SAME TIME! F**K YES! And this is even better.
spazweez said:
Awesome. I'm going to miss them at Comic-Con, but this makes up for it. Simulcast in Burbank, beotch! Tix, secured. Joy, assured.
