Is it just me or?

Have the Syfy movies gotten progressively worse? Because I thought, with "Stonehenge Apocalypse" it couldn't possibly get worse. Boy, was I wrong - "Stonehenge Apocalypse" at least had a few marginally good actors in it (which, y'know, at least we know they paid rent or a mortgage payment or two out of the project. Kept food on the table, that sort of thing). Saturday, we caught most of "Mandrake" - thinking, well, it will be terrible, but probably good for a laugh or two! Um, no. Just really very bad. The setting was the amazonian jungle. Which looked suspiciously like a northern forest. The plot was... nearly invisible.

(search for a bejeweled dagger, which when removed from it's final resting place, awoke a hungry bloodthirsty plant that picked our plucky explorer/treasure hunter people off one by one).

And the ending was telegraphed an hour before the movie's end. So, not even grounds for *good* mocking. It was just SAD.

And Syfy's next offering? "SHARKTOPUS!" Which, wait, WHAT? Really?

... ... ...

I guess it always can get worse.

Thank you for this. I was just very upset and angry over a problem with my debit card (gas station overcharging for authorization, so card declined for gas, but $$ in limbo until authorization drops off my acct) and this made me lol.
