Sigh, I don't even know why I'm making cute "pun" titles, because I'm in anything but a cute mood. That volcano, that fucking volcano, has just made me had to cancel my holiday to Gran Canaria.
I was supposed to fly out on Wednesday morning, but all flights are cancelled to and from the UK until at least Wednesday afternoon, so ours has officially been scrapped. Good thing is we can rebook without charge, so it's now Sunday - let's just hope the giant Ash cloud hovering over the world has vanished by then. It's like something out of a made for Syfy Channel movie.
So you have me for another week, loyal Dwellers. And I already have that time off work, so expect LOTS of new threads up till then. Every ash cloud..

Made for SciFi (I refuse to use the new spelling) movies are the worst sci-fi movies. What a pain in the ass. And how many people in the world do you suppose would actually get that reference in the thread title? Awesome.

Yeah, no idea what the logic behind that new Sci-Fi spelling is. To appeal to morons? To... you know, I can't even think of another reason other than that one. I've never watched a made for Sci-Fi movie. I got a free double DVD with a newspaper that had live action modern re-tellings of fairy tales (truth be told, I hunted that newspaper down), with Lana Lang from Smallville as Snow White in one and some other douche in Jack and the Beanstalk. I'm pretty sure those were Sci-Fi channel movies and, well.. they were actually OK.
As for the ash itself, fingers crossed we're now in the clear. So the media is letting on, anyway, and God knows they would try and keep us in terror for as long as possible ("you're all screwed, stay tuned to find out why!") So everything has been re-booked for Sunday. Here's hoping..

Made for SciFi films is shit like "Frankenfish", "Mansquito", and "Dinoshark". You hear an itdiotic title like that, and you know which channel to look for it on.

Oh man, please tell me you're joking about "Mansquito."

Note, the trailer says "Mosquito Man", but it always shows up as "Mansquito" on the cable guide. I don't think I could sit through the entire title sequence to find out what it says when it airs. I barely got through the trailer. How shitty a production is it when they can't even get the title straight on an American film?

Why is it that every trailer these days MUST have the "fast foward" moment occur seventy kerbillion times?  "Mansquito"..."Mosquito Man"...no matter how you slice it or dice it, it still SUCKS?  |

You know, if they just tweaked it a little and made the guy a superhero instead of a monster, I would have bought that sucker in a heartbeat. And that's not even a joke.
