Dear SyFy Channel

Okay got it, this was supposed to be some tongue in cheek/funny parody of real monster movies? Got it. So now that you've done that (or attempted to) for the umpteenth time why don't you try and make something good? You know take some decent work of science fiction literature (let's say by Ray Bradbury, Issac Asimov, or Andre Norton. None of whom have had anything filmed by you*) and make a good movie out of it?

* You can look them up on the internet. They are kind of big deals in the world of science fiction.

@Tom,

I don't know, I'm starting to believe that is syfy's thing, tongue in cheek poorly produced films.
Kinda how Bravo is all about the housewives.

But let us remember.
This was not a made for SyFy film.
Just had a premier her.

I did not know that Gordon, just naturally assumed it was. And yeah I've been ragging on the SyFy Channel for years to try and make good movies. No luck so far. I'm kind of like my father (God rest his soul) he would watch politicians on TV just to yell at them. :)

Question is, Can I expect you at the premier of Sharknado 2.

I'm a little confused how you dislike this movie but will watch Sharknado 2. Admittedly, B-movies are hard to argue because enjoyment is in the eye of the beholder but I thought Sharknado was one of the biggest piles of garbage I have ever seen. Lots of padding and some of the laziest writing imaginable. As a fan of B movies I felt Big Ass Spider was a well written fun fest. I also liked Infestation and Pterodactyl, just as an FYI. If you felt Sharknado was better than this then we'll agree to disagree (big time) and I'll understand your premise.

And despite my hatred to the original, I'll watch "The 2nd One".
