I havent yet watched the movie (still trying to get hold of it), but it seems the aliens made a booboo with plan 9. Plan 9 was a terrible plan. Maybe they should have moved on to plan 10.
No, the movie crowd would refuse it.
shareThis reminds me of a time when I and a small group of friends were watching an episode of G-Force (anglicized version of... well, I don't know the source anime). One of us (not me) suddenly wondered, "Why are they called 'G-Force?' Is it about gravity? I think it's 'Gymnastic' because they keep flipping around."
A fair attempt at humor, I suppose. Then, in a perfect deadpan, another answered:
"Forces A through F were destroyed."
I thought this was common knowledge, but since no one else has bothered to post the full list, here you go:
Plan 1: Sternly worded letter
Plan 2: Freeze-dry world leaders
Plan 3: Turn oceans into glue
Plan 4: Drop huge xylophones on biggest cities
Plan 5: Turn off electricity for one hour
Plan 6: Gamma ray bombardment
Plan 7: Provide greater access to affordable health care (this one is particularly scary to some people)
Plan 8: Cut gravity by one half
Plan 9: Resurrection of the dead
Plan 9 still sucks worse than these. We need a plan worse than plan 9.

Thanks to groversald for a most interesting presentation on the historical aspect of the development of our Plan[s] (from Outer Space).
And now, it is my pleasure to introduce our newest, revitalized and most anticipated mode of action:
Plan B! (from Outer Space)
We expect to implement Plan B! (from Outer Space) just as soon as management approves funding and the steering committee nails down all the metrics.
We'll need Frank in graphics to come up with an appropriate team building logo and press Stacey to expedite our travel options.
The sooner we can get the think tank to finalize and have our objectives printed, the faster we can discuss and edit them.
From there we just put it in turn around for all appropriate departments to analyze and add their comments.
These comments will be gone over, with any on-target suggestions folded back into the original metrics and sent back to the steering committee for final options.
We anticipate final approval and launch of Plan B! (from Outer Space) no later than 2023.
Congratulations to all involved! Let's Go Plan B!! (from Outer Space)
Synergy.
You Fill Me with Inertia.
It's obvious really.
Plan 1. Make Movie.
Plan 2. ???
Plan 3. Profit.
Plan 4-8. Lament knowing you made "Plan 9".
Plan 9. Relish the fact you've made a pretty good cult classic that people still talk about :-)
I think you'd find them with "Phase 2" from Pink Flamingos (1972).
Similarly, Gordon Solie, the greatest professional wrestling announcer ever, popularized the expression "Pier 6 brawl," meaning all hell had broken loose. It's not known why he chose "Pier 6," or what might have happened at Piers 1-5.
"May the Force be with you."
"I can do anything. Is America."

Clearly one of the plans is: "Attack a town. A small town I admit, but nevertheless a town of people. People who will die."
