Jack Davenport is totally the wrong class. He'd be laughable.
As opposed to Keanu?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Last week I watched Chupacabra on Sci-Fi and noticed John Rhys-Davies appeared to be the only professional actor in the cast. The week before that I watched Larva also on Sci-Fi and realized I had no idea how heavily a writer could rely on the idiot plot to advance his story. I really should try to get out more.
Edit: typo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why was JRD in Chupacabra? I wanted to find evidence it was filmed before LotR, but didn't. He should be parlaying, surely.

Are you thinking gambling debts, cocaine habit, or Michael Caine-esque inability to say no to a project, no matter how bad?

I like gambling debts.
Because I'd like to think even Michael Caine would balk at a Sci Fi original movie.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Teppy, could I borrow your (ETA: Ultraviolet) tapes, after you finally get around to watching them all? Netflix doesn't have it, and I missed my chance to tape it.

I don't think they scrape lower in the barrel than, say Jaws IV: The Revenge. Though in Caine's case I suspect the underlying idea is that if he's in every movie, some of them are bound to be Oscar contenders.

Mario and Melvin Van Peebles are top notch draws, compared to, say, Richard Grieco and Tangi Miller (sorry, Tangi).
Which is to say, I think Sci Fi has an unparalleled ability to cast people who aren't that well-acquainted with the big screen into movies whose plots aren't well acquainted with narrative.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think most of the things that Sci-Fi calls "original movies" are straight-to-video stinkers with the expletives bleeped or cut.

Or, if we're lucky, failed two hour pilots.
