SciFi originals deserve their very own category.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Then there's the question of whether the SciFi "originals" count as movies. That would widen the field considerably.
Oh, they transcend such categories as "movies"....
I mean, really. How could there be a movie called "Mansquito"? And yet there is something called that with the length of a movie that can be watched....
x-posty....

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The name of what I believe to be the worst movie ever, or at least the worst sf movie had mercifully escaped me, but I googled. Starship Invasions, with Robert Vaughn and Christopher Lee, both of whom would have been sentenced to no more than community service if they had shot their agents. It wasn't so bad it was funny. It was just bad. Robert Vaughn is a scientist who is kidnapped by aliens, who have giant heads and live in a spaceship were everything is very white. In order to communicate with Robert Vaughn, the aliens attach wires from his head to something that is quite clearly the Sony tape recorder I owned at the time.
I left the movie with a feeling of great peace, knowing that I would never again be vexed by the question of what was the worst sf movie of all time. I had seen it and was content.

I think Ginger has the win, having seen that movie. It's amazing MST never got their hands on it (somebody must have asked for too much money). If I recall, Christopher Lee was reduced to wearing a pantsuit that made the ones in ST:TMP look cool. Topped with what look like a bishop's miter, except it was part of the pantsuit.

Was this a Roger Corman movie that used that same spaceship footage as all his other space movies? [link]

Well, they addressed the dead Sarah quickly enough.
Yeah, I can see why she was a little upset there. Not so safe 2007.
