Is Sci Fi Channel Killing Sci Fi Movies?
Tonight on Sci Fi, "Dark Storm". The premise of the movie is that a group of scientists discover a device that uses dark matter to eliminate matter, but an accident gives one scientist the ability to control weather. WTF is this about?
Guess who stars in it? Stephen Baldwin. If it's a bad Sci Fi movie, surely he'll be in the starring role. He's the worst actor ever. This time, he has a retarded mustache on his face to make him look smart. Here's the rub: he'll look dumb regardless.
He -never- gets eaten by the monster in the movie too. I keep hoping, but nooo. Heaven forbid Sci Fi channel ever give a premise that would make me smile.
But this isn't about Baldwin (maybe a little) as much as it is about the predictable, stupid story lines.
Guy finds ancient creature. Ancient creature kills guy. Team (consisting of: a black guy, a hot chick with huge boobs - the brains, Baldwin, and an old guy - for credibility) are sent in to deal with it. Black guy is killed first (of course). The old guy is next. The hot chick and Baldwin are trapped somewhere and start to have feelings for each other. She dies. He saves the day. The end.
We get it. We get it. Enough already, okay?
UPDATE: On the positive side; you do know what you are getting with a Sci Fi movie. Next up on Sci Fi, "Ice Spiders". You want spiders on ice. Sci Fi delivers spiders on ice. Never a doubt as to what you are about to see. 'Gargoyles' - yep, its about Gargoyles. I'm still waiting for a Flying Spaghetti Monster movie or something. That'd be a step up from what we are seeing now.

If you think the movies suck check out the people who post on their forums.
What a cast of lunatics.

I’ve really enjoyed the SciFi channel’s movies for the most part, but I’m getting sick and tired of them, along with everyone else, jumping on the “Global Warming” bandwagon. There’s not proof that Global Warming is happening and more importantly, that we’re causing it. It’s a political scheme the politicians are using to try and strike fear into the heart of men so they can push us further and further into socialism where they rule and reign. I’m sick of their false religion of Global Warming.
So SciFi Channel, if you’re reading this, get creative and get rid of all the Global Warming references. Enough with the forced religion. I’d much rather have movies about monsters and stuff. Heck, monsters in SciFi movies are more real than Global Warming. At least monster movies aren’t attempts at trying to stuff a political agenda down our throats. Give it up SciFi Channel!!!
