BRAINATHON ’99
Move over, Y2K, here comes something Brainier…
A cooperative Internet effort of unprecedented proportions in its field is about to take place-
Seven of the top Bad/B/Cult movie sites on the Internet will simultaneously take their hatchets to the 1957 film Brain from Planet Arous. This material is scheduled to appear by November 6-7,1999.
It is unknown if a film can withstand the cumulative impact of this highly-trained team’s simultaneous missives without reverting to anti-particles; due to the highly experimental nature of the project, due caution is advised to those within the event horizon’s light cone.

Ken Begg | Jabootu’s Bad Movie Dimension | Why a pith helmet was just sitting around on Steve’s workbench is another mystery. Especially since it clearly wasn’t there in a shot about a minute ago. |
Dr. Freex | The Bad Movie Report | Superior race, my patoot – they still can’t come up with a good pick-up line…. |

Nathan Shumate | B-Movie Mailing List | …an unbelievable premise. No, I’m not talking about the giant ghostly flying brain that floats like it’s suspended from piano wires and lusts after earth women. That part’s perfectly believable. But this… |
Liz | And You Call Yourself a Scientist! |
We note, too, the complete absence of any protective equipment, even though they’re getting ever closer to a “hot blast of gamma” that was almost “frying” them from thirty miles away. Steve’s faith in the shielding abilities of his pith helmet is touching, but possibly somewhat misplaced. Also, his head might not be the part of his body most in need of shielding just now. |
Apostic | B-Notes | Steve is wearing a fashionable (?) pith helmet for protection from the sun. (Frankly, if I were going into an area with potentially intense bursts of radiation, I’d consider….) |
