SharkFy Channel.
-
For several days SyFy channels has been running a trailer for their new movie premiering tonight. Sharknado seems to be about a whole bunch of sharks that have been swept up in a number of tornadoes that end up terrorizing Los Angeles. Who watches these things? :confused: http://entertainment.time.com/2013/07/10/the-64-best-seconds-of-the-sharknado-trailer-ranked[^] Anyway, to really get you ready for the new movie, they are airing all their bad shark movies. Right now it is Sharktopus (I believe Pete "enjoyed" this a while back), before that they were showing Malibu Shark Attack (a Tsunami releases pre-historic sharks :^) ). Yet to come today: Swamp Shark, Super Shark, Sharknado and 2-headed Shark Attack. Why? :confused: :confused: :confused: Soren Madsen

You have to remember that there are a lot of people out there to whom a typical reality show is the equivalent of high art and/or literature. As long as eyeballs are generally looking at the TV long enough to be captured by the regular sudden switch to a car/soap/insurance/medical commercial, that is all the sponsors care about.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I have wondered the same thing. I generally do not watch the movies on SyFy just because of the horrible effects. Not to mention the "wonderful" acting or the awesome scripting....
Of course pertty much any made for TV movie is pretty bad. Syfy is not alone in this regard.

More importantly, who makes these things? :)
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Hey, a buck is a buck, if you are a poor out-of-work producer, you will take scraps to pay for the food on your table. The scraps you get for making the movie, however, mean that you have to scrimp somewhere.

That is true, the reality shows are really bad, after watching a few episodes of them, probably anything else seems like it is an emmy winning production.

Not just WWE, but how about pawn stars, American chopper, and any of the hundreds (I swear, it seems that many since I hate them, helped ruin the History Channel) of other reality shows.

Yeah, that is a really bad show. Cannot beleive it was renewed. If you go onto IMDB.com all you see are bad reviews, but the show gets highly rated!!!!! :omg: (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2070791/reviews?ref_=tt_urv[^]) Tell you something about the people who like the show, they don't know how to write anything.

Is it about sharks? :-O I just checked my channel guide and I don't see that show. Do you by chance mean "Defiance"? Soren Madsen

I do not think Defiance is that bad. It is not great but so far been entertaining. Somewhat similar in premise. (Revolution[^]) (Defiance[^])

If you ever watch SyFy on the weekends, the movies absolutely suck during the day, and then keep repeating them. I think SyFy now specializes in showing the movies nobody really wants to watch so they are really cheap. The movies keep repeating, so anything new in their lineup of really bad SciFi/Monster movies is an improvement. At least the old black and white SciFi movies were somewhat more amusing.

Yeah, there are a lot of those shows. I watch American Pickers and one of those storage locker shows - the one with a big guy and a smaller guy working together. Soren Madsen

Ahhh, that is the 'Revolution' show - I have seen the trailers. I have not watched any of the episodes of either of those shows, so I can't really comment. Soren Madsen

Nope. He mentioned SyFy so I ran with it. I pretty much will not watch any movie on that channel. I watched a movie recently, I know that it was on the Chiller channel and I have seen this movie on Showtime as well. Pretty much hit the trifecta. Bad acting, terrible script and if Alan Smithee did not direct it, he should have. Pretty big names in it too. Ben Kingsley being one of them. The only reason I suffered through as much as I did was that I saw that I had a cousin in it and I watched it until they killed his character, then I changed the channel. Like the classic song goes, "Got 13 channels of s*** on the tv to choose from" and I believe that they do their best to fill all of the channels they can with the most absolute crap that they have available.
