I'll share something embarrassing. I've known the plot of WotW since
what -- probably junior high. Maybe 12 years old. That would be 1959.
But while I was watching the horrible recent production the other day, I
swear I'd forgot what killed the aliens and had no idea how they'd be
stopped - or even *if* they'd be stopped - until they all "died". D'oh!
Meanwhile, for anyone who loves Plan Nine: check out Robot Monster;
let's just say the heavy is an alien that lands on earth alone (unseen)
and is discovered hiding out in a cave, wearing a gorrilla suit topped
by an old brass diver's hard mask and communicting back to wherever The
Evil Boss Alien is on a radion that, to show you that it's really on the
air, emits clouds of soap bubbles. This one, like Plan Nine, is not to
be missed. Oh, and yeah, there's no sign that the "robot monster" is
a robot, either. :)
