Today the Syfy channel is running back to back Children of Men, Serenity, Predator 2 (which is no Predator, but still!), and The Fifth Element.
I couldn’t find anything saying this is Sweeps Week, and what I did find says they are usually in February and November. So why have they suddenly programmed an above average schedule? Of course for them, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-athon would be above average.
Is this the End of Days??
It looks like sweeps was most of July. I don’t think it occurs in August.
Won’t anyone think of the poor homeless dinocrocosharktopuses?
I can’t WAIT to see that movie. I hope it’s a Nazi dinocrocosharktopus.
Real “sweeps” is when the local TV stations ratings are taken. Hence you get 6 o’clock “news” stories about “What really happens as strip clubs?” and such. Broadcast networks like to help their affiliates so they also run a lot of their better stuff at that time.
This is not a good time for basic cable channels. So they hold off sometimes showing their best stuff until after sweeps is over.
I’m not watching it unless they have frickin’ laser beams on their heads.
Would you settle for breathing fire? We can make it a Nazi dragodinocrocosharktopus.
I don’t know if you were aware, but there’s a movie on Syfy right now called"Sharktopus". Sweartogod.
And the following movie is called “Dinocroc vs Supergator”.
Do you have a secret life as Hollywood’s worst screenwriter?
I think I subconsciously pulled it from my mind, but I believe that the origin of the word is from Futurama, the 4th episode, “Love’s Labours Lost in Space.” I didn’t realize it until I started rewatching the series.
Image, although that page did not do their research and thinks it’s new.
It might have been new. The cable guide’s credits say both movies were produced in 2010.
I eagerly await Nazi Dragodinocrocosharktopus, I’m thinking by 2012.
I meant that the screenshot was from a new episode as a result of the movie, and not from 1999.
I think you severely overestimate the time it takes for Syfy to churn out this schlock. Maybe they want to wait for the first one to come out on DVD in a week or two.
No no, I understood the screenshot was from this season’s Futurama, and I thought Syfy might have stolen the idea from it, and churned out a crap movie in a couple of weeks.
I gave them to 2012 because there are so many permutations they can go through in the meantime.
Sharktopus vs. Dinocroc
Croctopus vs. Dinoshark
Crocosharktopus vs. Dincroctigator
etc.
