Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.

New SyFy movie: Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. Starring Debbie Gibson as an advocate for animal rights who accidentally helps create super-sized snakes, and Tiffany as a park ranger trying to save endangered alligators in the Everglades.
I kept looking for the April Fools announcement.

My mind wants to picture Gatoroid as a mascot for some sports drink....
I might have missed this while I was semi-offline for two days - SyFy Wire's most anticipated SF films of 2011.
Both "SF" and "anticipated" here being used quite loosely, since Twilight is on the list.
They are so wrong. End of story. Yikes.
I get a twitch when people refer to The Thing from 1982 as "the original." It was a remake! Like The Fly ! I haven't even seen it, but I still twitch at the inaccuracy. It's on its way to me from Netflix, however.
I am anticipating several of those films.

But it was much closer to the original story.
My exDH worked on that. His dad is a glaciologist and the arctic stuff was shot at their camp on a glacier outside Juneau. His main memory was of the dog trainer (Rob Weatherwax, son of the trainer of Lassie) smoking pot and complained about how much he hated Lassie.
