The Worst Movie Ever Made

At least you can enjoy "Plan 9" for its badness. When something is bad and excruciatingly bad AND celebrates a dictator, it's different. But let's back up for a second.

In the 80s Kevin Kline would have been a natural choice to play Errol Flynn in his youth. But that was years ago. Who would play Flynn today? Well, as it happens, Kevin Kline. Here's the trailer for "The Last of Robin Hood."

This Film School Rejects piece discusses the plot: Hollywood Legend goes crazy for a young star, nothing "for background, Flynn was put in trial for statutory rape and acquitted, but his reputation was never the same again." The trial on the stach beef, as Hush-Hush might have put it, was in '42. He wasn't charged with any crimes for his relationship with Beverly Aadland, the subject of this movie. There were allegations, but no charges.

Anyway: whatever liberties it takes with the story, it gets some period details right:

Let's take a closer look.

Proper names for the director and shooter, and a close approximation of the movie.

Fanning makes a convincing Aadland, too:

Wonder if the movie will talk about that.

COMICS Dozens of artists collaborated on this salute to Little Nemo, a work whose creator the Kickstarter page describes as "perhaps the greatest cartoonist of all time." You could make that case; wouldn't be hard. Here's one of the examples, and if it's indicative of the rest of the work, it's worth a hundred bucks.

But back to comics. Today's Mother Goose and Grimm, which contains neither:

Took me a while. For a moment I thought . . . so, Elsie is a cow, and cows get Mad Cow, and Mad rhymes with Bad, so . . . no, that's a stretch. Ah: milk. Milk is good in the fridge for a while and then it "goes bad" overnight. Right. But Elsie produces milk; she is not defined by, nor exclusively composed of, Milk. In her udder milk would be perfectly fine. It would make more sense for the policemen to be arresting a container of milk, which would be instantly more sensible and amusing. But this is MG&G, after all.

That's from TrapCrunch, which is to TechCrunch what Clickhole is to BuzzFeed.

APPALLING Poor fellow.

Okay, you've seen it, but have you seen it today? Still my favorite seven seconds of the week.

SCIENCE! Seems a certain theory has a certain problem:

This would seem to suggest the theory is wrong or incomplete. Look for the invention of a new subatomic particle or unexplained force, like the HBC (Higgs-Boson Compensator) which cannot be observed or detected, but must exist, because it explains a big hole in the theory.

Here they are.
