07.04.2008 Doomed Planet Since 1997 -BY REX LAMERAY  On March 3, 1997, inspired by my life as an unemployed, disgruntled former worker for a misguided Internet start-up, I decided to start my own misguided Internet start-up, which I called doomedplanet.com. Eventually I decided to make it a gathering place where the entire growing Internet community could come to buy books about drugs and whatnot.  That idea failed, of course, but not enough to die a dignified death, and doomedplanet.com soon became the website for my full-length feature film called Doomed Planet, which has been regaling a select group of Armageddon-comedy fans since 2000.  You know, the best idea I ever had was coming up with the name Doomed Planet. And ever since, I've noticed that other artists have thought to emblazon their enterprises
with the name Doomed Planet as a way of capturing the magic. Some other filmmakers made an unrelated, and less magical, movie called "Doomed Planet ."
A buttrock
record label out of Eugene, Oregon uses that name, and I wish them the best. L. Ron Hubbard anticipated my use of the name by calling one of his books
The Doomed
Planet," which led to a popular cult. And of course there's that sketch comedy troupe called "The Doomed Planet" at
thedoomedplanet.com which nobody's ever heard of.

Our classy website drew in customers by the hundred. 
Continuing to improve the website. We were unable to improve the movie. |
