Had a chance to watch my recorded version earlier tonight. Very nice! Many of the shots were very crisp with good contrast and color. I was impressed.

I had DVR'd it a week or two ago and due to a EPG error, I had a 80s Kevin Dillon version. yuck. Recorded the correct version this past weekend. :D

Worst movie I've EVER seen, and that's because I've never seen "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

Wait a minute! The original version was on this past weekend?

I was burned a few weeks ago by the guide data saying it was the original when in fact it was the lousy remake. Will it be on again???

Watched it yesterday off my dvr. Far, far, far from being the worst movie ever. Low budget maybe but waaaaaay far from being the worst. Fit right in with all the low budget sci-fi's of that time as movie quality goes. PQ looked great, very cinema like. Best I've ever seen it look and I've seen this movie far more than 10 times in my life. Only problem was the recording ended about 10 minutes before the movie. :( Both versions were on this past weekend.

Yup...this was the original. I was fooled a while back with the terrible remake.

This is the original...and it looks great!
