The Moment SYFY Channel Officially Stopped Trying

TS Hendrik said...: It has a 1.6 star rating on imdb. You know it's gotta be good. Seriously though, what are the qualifications for writing a SyFy movie? Maybe you and I should write one. We could knock it out in an hour.

How about this, they love doing tornado flicks, how about 'Cephalonado?'; May 22, 2012 at 12:47 PM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: The tornado picks up killer mutant octopus from the local Sea World and drops them into a stadium where the national cheerleading championship is taking place....the rest just write themselves.; May 22, 2012 at 12:50 PM
Wildhermit said...: Whoa now... you are clearly not giving this movie a fair chance. It is without a doubt the best movie ever made about an anaconda - Piranha hybrid mutant....

With all the great Scifi shows/movies that are out there, why does seefee continue to produce this crap. Farscape/Firefly get canceled but stuff like this gets air time?; May 22, 2012 at 1:19 PM
DrGoat said...: Throw in the worst CGI you've ever seen and you got a SyFy movie.; May 22, 2012 at 1:20 PM

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: There was a time when they could have filled in the monster movie niche but they pissed that moment away by not even trying. I am still stinging from the loss of Stargate Universe.; May 22, 2012 at 1:36 PM
Professor Chaos said...: I'm not sure it's actually any worse than the original "Anaconda" with Jon Voight, Ice Cube & J-Lo. The worst movie ever made with a big budget, and so the funniest movie ever.; May 22, 2012 at 4:37 PM
Ironbeaver said...: Stopped trying, or FOUND THEIR STRIDE?; May 22, 2012 at 7:30 PM
M. D. Jackson said...: You mean they used to try?; May 22, 2012 at 8:24 PM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
