One of the worst movies I've ever seen is on Sci Fi now. Good Lord -
"welcome to the wonderful world of unscupulous corporate tactics" -

really

as said by the former "Winny" from Wonder Years.

just now on Sci Fi movie superstorm or whatever

worst line I've heard in a while

worst movie I've seen in a while, and I've only had it on for about ten minutes - Lord, they have a Herbie type bug with the number 69 painted on the hood, and they've just ditched the MIB who were following them....

xanax would make it better

1. That channel..
... runs a bunch of flicks that were made just for them I think.

I've caught one of my sons watching these things a few times and they always are "conventional" scifi plots with some nasty sexploitation (gunpoint blowjobs, crap like that) thrown in. BTW - these movies are never rated.

I finally disabled the damn channel on the satelite box. Sleazebags.

2. Yes, SciFi movies have no plots
Danica McKeller is trying to restart her acting career. SciFi gave her the leading role on *this*. I want to strangle the screenplay writer. It is beyond horrible.

The only reason SciFi greenlighted it was for the geek Wonder Year audience.

This link may make you feel better. :D It is also part of Danica's attempt to restart her career. :D

5. i started a thread in the sci-fi forum a few weeks back
on the b movies they run on there.

I don't remember any gunpoint BJs, but I do know that each time I've seen them, a designated hot babe gets killed horribly. I just remember the designated hot chick in "Pterodactyl" because she reminded me facially of my ex-wife.

6. the worst I saw was
Some mission to Mars starring C. Thomas Howell as some evil corporate stooge of the future (corporations ruled the world & governments were subservient to them... sort of like the US is now, but this was the whole world) and David Chokachi playing some down on his luck Han Solo type of spaceship pilot. Yes, David Chokachi of "Baywatch" fame as a Han Solo knock-off.

but, they had landed the the middle of a martian civil war between the ones that wanted to be friends with Earth and those that wanted to wipe us out.

8. You are obviously not acqainted with such sci-fi atrocities as
"The Killer Eye." One of the worst movies I've ever seen in any genre.

12. I once had high hopes for the SciFi channel
I finally gave up on them when they gave con man John Edward (not the politician) a platform to spew his garbage on the air....er cablewaves.

14. I was wondering how they could call Battlestar Galactica a
"Sci Fi original series" - just as a random thought - wasn't really wasting any time on the question.
