Christmas On Mars Starring The Flaming Lips!

Rated NR; 82min; Director:Wayne Coyne (2008)
Alamo Website:  A special space-psychedelia-rock presentation for High for the Holidays! It's Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. When an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis and his team fear the worst. Syrtis also hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Lips frontman Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts. Seven years in the making, CHRISTMAS ON MARS features original music by the Flaming Lips ("The greatest US band today" - The Guardian), with acting performances by all band members, and many others from their Oklahoma City-based team. Comedian Fred Armisen (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE) and actor Adam Goldberg (DAZED AND CONFUSED) also appear, as do Isaac Brock of band Modest Mouse, and performer Steve Burns of the band Steve Burns and the Struggle (who had also appeared in children's television show BLUE'S CLUES!).
