I'd like to find the guy that came up with that idea, and kick him in the balls. The only problem, is it was probably a 6 year old, and I'd end up going to jail....

This is not real SyFy production, is it?
I'm glad I don't watch TV - my brain would explode.

These movies are intended to be bad.

They are a modern take on the B-movies of the 50s-70s.

I don't know who management is for that channel, but it's been heading straight to shit the last 10 years. What happened to invisible man? Dune mini series?
Next week is the official end of SciFriday. They are going to show wrestling at 8pm on Friday's.

Yup...


I watched the one they did where some obscure volcano in Hawaii started erupting and released a monster croc-lizard thingy from the depths... The scientists were trying to warn everyone at the luau about the impending lava-river of death (because nobody knew the volcano was erupting... yeah) and the big sharp-toothed bitey monster kept trying to kill them... then he ate everyone at the luau.

It was awesome. Well... not really.

this doesnt bother me.

Having ECW wrestling, stupid ghost hunters fake show, and calling it "scyfy" that bothers me.

The only possible way that would not be utterly lame would be to turn it into porn.

The Dune mini series finished, so there wasn't anything left for it. To be honest, Dune would be better if it wasn't handled by Syfy. Same with Earthsea. I'm pretty upset that my 2 favorite fantasy series both got handled by Syfy, considering all they can do is low budget nonsense. Dune wasn't bad at all, surprisingly, but it could have been way better.

Whoa!

I was in Wal-Mart Thursday night browsing the DVD rack & I skimmed past some Shark vs Octopus flick. I don't know if was Mega Shark....They make a lot of these & thought it said Sharktopus or Octoshark.

Low & behold it's real.
