I’ve seen big movies, good movies, good bad movies and bad bad movies. This is just a crappy movie. A SciFi Channel movie, so the quality is no surprise. I felt it was my civic duty to warn others. I remember there were some Saturday Night SciFi threads back when, so I know you’re out there. ---

Hilarious! A movie about a zombie mammoth? A tongue-in-cheek scifi horror movie done for laffs? Starring Tom Frikkin Skerrit? \*\*\*DO NOT MISS IT! \*\*\*(The sheriff’s name is Marion Morrison!) ---

I’m dying to see this, specifically because it’s so bad. I really can’t put down any SciFi original that I can think of; at least, not the ones that involve paleo in some way (loved Sabertooth). ---

It’s not to be taken seriously, of course, but what’s not to like. Summer Glau as an agnsty teenager, reading **the heart is a lonely hunter** in her room, giant stupid mammoth tricks. men in black: ‘have you done anything illegal?’ Tom Skerritt: ‘not todaaayyy’ comedy gold ---

I still say the Sci-Fi channel needs to add a hot chick dressed like a vampire to their saturday line-up. The cheesy movies just aren’t the same without a cheesy intro from a hot chick dressed as a vamp. ---

The cheesy movies just aren’t the same without a cheesy intro from a hot chick dressed as a vamp. You’re on to something. (Or possibly just on something.) Just put _Mammoth_ atop my Netflix queue. Can’t say I’m proud of that, but there it is. ---

Duh, actually. _Every_ channel needs a hot vampire chick in their saturday line-up. > [@lissener](#): > > _Sharks in Venice_ WAS AWESOME!!! > > Almost as good as _Yeti_. The best one is still \*Frankenfish \*though. Now, would that be Yeti: a love story, or Yeti: Curse of the snow demon? Or maybe I should just netflix 'em both > [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > Apparently I need to warn people about movies more often. Please do
