Slightly O/T: Last night I watched



All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos


This is one of those legendary "worst films of all time" and deservedly so. It should be shown in film schools as an example of what ten (ten!) producers can do with 1.2 million dollars and some decent actors. It also shows that the reputation of SyFy Channel Original Productions is so bad that people assume bad films were made by them--even when they are not!

I mention this because I usually look up films on IMDB on my laptop while I am watching them to get up to speed on the details of the small parts, director, etc. In this wonderful internet age we have film reviews from just plain people like you and me--and they are often hilarious.

Some examples:

"You know, you have to work hard to turn out a "movie" (and I use the term loosely) this bad. And the Sci-Fi Channel has managed to do it a number of times, raising again the question of whether they are farming out their writing and directing duties to family members...or perhaps family pets.

This particular stinker was advertised as a zombie movie, and eventually they did have a few zombies bumbling around, albeit completely illogically and with the rules of their existence changing every 30 seconds as apparently a new hack writer (or perhaps Fluffy the family chihuahua) took over to further mangle this drivel. To say that it was a complete and utter mess, and a magnificently boring one at that, would be an understatement."

I did this because I have had some fun reading reviews of these clunkers and maybe you will, too.

I really have to get a life...

Reminds me of "Plan 9 From Outerspace" Pee-ewwww!
-----------
Paula: A flying saucer? You mean the kind from up there?
Jeff: Yeah, either that or its counterpart
-----------
Col. Edwards: This is the most fantastic story I've ever heard.
Jeff: And every word of it's true, too.
Col. Edwards: That's the fantastic part of it.
----------
Col. Edwards: For a time we tried to contact them by radio but no response. Then they attacked a town, a small town I'll admit, but nevertheless a town of people, people who died.

Maybe Fluffy's grandpa had a job with Ed Wood!!??

"The reality of science is that it takes 40 years to get to Jupiter, and that's a dull show." - Glen Morgan, producer of sci-fi series "Space: Above and Beyond"

"I could tell you what's happening, but I don't know if it would really tell you what's happening." - Snow, "Solaris"

"I like to worry about things from all angles." - Lukas, "Threshold"


I really liked Firefly, I don't understand why it didn't catch on. So, here is one of my favorite quotes and I'm glad someone else thinks so too...

"What happens if they board us?"

"If they take the ship they will rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins in to their clothing, and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order." - Simon and Zoe, "Firefly"
