Manos: Hand of Fate

Vampire Girl versus Frankenstein Girl

DANGER 5

Tank Girl

The Room

Just to add a few I forgot. XD

Ah yes and "Sphere"

Stellar cast
Decent effects
STOOPID concept

I loved Sphere. So philosophical and yet it was a big pile of "wat." XD

OH. And Blade Runner. XD

The BOOK "Sphere" was quite good. Everyone at the end figured out what it was (an alien test of civilization --whatever you imagined, happened. So if you were a warlike race, you blew yourself up.) But the movie didn't even try to follow the plot of the book. All they wanted was the famous writer's name and to heck with what the story was really about...


"Yeah! This is a great story. The best! The kids love it and its a best seller, so we already have a guaranteed audience for the film adaptation. We'll be rich! A couple of things though, yeah. We need to add some more action into it, you know? Maybe a chase scene or three. And robots! Teen boys love robots. And aliens!! Yeah, we can have the robots fighting off the aliens! What do you think of that idea?"

"Um... the title of my book is "The velveteen Bunny", sir."

"And that's another thing -- we're going to have to do something about the title, too..."

Gotta agree. I very much enjoyed the book "Sphere" but cannot stand the movie...and I like bad horror/syfy.

The disappointing thing was that the "horror emanating from your own mind" trope felt like a cop-out. I'm not automatically biased against the trope, since it can be done meaningfully, I think - but it's sad when used as the shocking revelation for dangers that were otherwise presented as "real" in the first 90% of the plot.

What's good is when they know the horrors are imaginary/created from the mind... and the ensuing self-reflection becomes the focus.

Transformers 3... has my vote, fucking Micheal Bay....

don't forget Tremors 2! the rise of the butt blasters!

Tremors 3 has the Assblasters, Tremors 2 is the Shriekers.

Screamers #insert number after 1 here. The last one is OH GODS THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!

They made 3 I know of.

The Abyss
Red Planet
Leviathon

The Abyss I liked. Not sure why But I just think it's cool.
Leviathon was creepy as hell. I saw both of them on TV when they were still New.

The abyss also has an important part in film history; it was the first modern use of CGI in a major movie. While "Tron" used computer graphics, they didn't come close to being photorealistic and impossible to distinguish from the real filmed scenes. The water probe scene was the one that turned the studios on to realizing the tech could be used not just for scifi flicks but could also create thousands of extras for scenes without having to pay 8$ an hour to each of them or having to pay a license fee to film somewhere.

The Abyss is good science fiction. Not enough aliens getting nuked for you?

I think I saw about 20 minutes of that Chupacabras movie. Ye gods it stank.

The Chupacabras movie they made before that one, set on a cruise liner with John Rhys-Davies (from LOTR to this? What powers of darkness did he offend?) was almost as bad; and then there was the champion, their own version of MOBY DICK. Ahab's a commander of a nuclear submarine, Moby is big enough to chow down on blue whales and can dodge nuclear explosions capable of incinerating the isle of Molokai (!)... the horror, the horror, it does not end, etc.

And of course there's the legendarily awful SyFy stink bomb MEGA-SHARK VERSUS GIANT OCTOPUS.

They're clearly trying to tap into that "Cult" mindset and make money off of it. But they forgot the biggest element...cult movies were (in general, there are exceptions) made by people who were trying to make a movie. They weren't just crapping out "post-modern" tripe in a hopes that enough people will make an internet meme out of their film and....step 5: profit! Somehow...

I haven't seen anything on Scfy since Eureka ended. And I'm probably better off, since all their movies and shows seem to take place in the woods just outside their studios anyways. (Flash Gordon is a space opera, not a set of warps that bring all the baddies to Vancouver...)

Don't even mention that sorry excuse for Flash Gordon. Ming the Merciless, boss of the water company? The Hawkmen are totemists (with even cheap CGI they could have flipping FLEW!)? GAH! What a waste.

EggXactly. Awful show with no redeeming qualities I can think of. Flash was a wuss. Zarkov was a mental case. Dale... geez. No space ships? Every planet is a forest world for some (financial) reason? And Ming the (snickers) Merciless -- I've seen more malice at the drivethru at Wendys.

The royally sad thing is that with today's tech and effects, you COULD "reimagine" the show and create something so spectacular that our grandchildren will talk about the show, just like so many generations talked about Star Trek. But that takes courage, commitment to storytelling, and a love of the source material. Skiffy has all but three of those things...

This is exactly what got to me. Flash Gordon is 'good-bad SF'. With modern effects you could do an amazing tribute to it, and instead SyFy went the cheapest and lowest common denominator route.

Might as post on here. =P

Twilight. Yep, I watched it with my sister when it came out on DVD. We tried so hard to rip it apart in an MST3K frame of mind. However, we had nothing to say since we struggled to watch it all the way through...

Here's another one: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Interesting premise using book characters for this. Although it's based off of a graphic novel, the story just seemed dull, and the action sequences didn't help make me interested at all.

Speaking of Die Hard, I just bought the first two movies on DVD, and I watched the first one for the first time last night. Yeah, I'm way behind on these things. ^^;

DH 1 GOOD will watch anywhere, anytime (must have seen it 20 times)
DH 2 not as good, but watchable sentimental favorite because it takes place at Dullas Air Port outside DC
DH 3 While not as good as DH 1, it is the best of the sequels
DH 4 Kind of contrived, but decent dialog. Not too bad for eye-candy
DH 5 A waste film. Mindless destruction without decent character interaction or plot

lol A good reference to go by for all Die Hard movies.

Which DH movie was it that had Bruce Willis walking down the street in Harlem with a big sign saying "I hate niggers?" That was the one I saw.

Die Hard 3. With Samuel L. Jackson as Zeus.

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie completely rewrote the story from the graphic novel, changing the story and the nature of the characters in the story... and then added a couple of extra characters. Part of the reason for the rewrite was to make Sean Connery's character (Allan Quartermain) more heroic, which was contrary to the book, at Connery's request. That's why the movie sucked, despite the brilliance of the comic. They went for the surface quality of the series without paying much of any heed to the substance.

That's kind of silly he would do something like that. Quite unfortunate really.

I saw League before I'd read the original books, so I have a different opinion. As a movie, League is okay. It tells its story and the plot holes aren't too horrible. (Nobody sees the bombs Skinner's carrying to blow up the fortress at the end of the movie?)

Compared to the original it sucks, Taken on its own, without reference to the books, it's not that bad.

Agreed with charlieg. I too saw the movie before reading the graphic novel. I had heard a bit about it, so i KNEW it didn't synch up, but it wasn't horrible. Sub-par, but still entertaining.

You clearly need to let Mike Nelson and the gang at Rifftrax know about it. I love me some rifftrax!

How about Santa Clause versus Mozes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kRAKXFrYQ4

You missed Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny, It makes Pia Zediora's little nightmare look like Gone with the wind.

How bout the second Fritz the cat movie...."the 9 lives of fritz the cat"..just because you have Hitler in a movie doesn't make it good!

for bad movie "rubber" http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/.....rubberver3.jpg

Oops, ya beat me to it.

The Charge of the Light Brigade used to be my pick for worst film ever. It featured Errol Flynn as a dashing English cavalryman who led his men into one of the worst disasters in Britain's military history just so that he could gain revenge on his nemesis, an evil Indian raja, who for some reason thought the middle of the Crimean War was the safest place to camp out to avoid angry Brits. Also, it's in TECHNICOLOR!!! so the bright costumes of the time period are even more eye-numbing.

It used to be my pick until I saw Roger Corman's classic, Star Crash.

'Rubber.' Just watch it. No reason.
