'How do you lose a ghost?'


Ummm... Cause its a ghost. That might have something to do with it.

I flipped the channel to this cause i was just flipping through channels and heard this piece of dialogue follwed by two more horrible lines:

"Youre the closest thing to an expert."
"I just watch a lot of cable, okay."


"We can find a book in the library about the subject.... I use to be a goth, okay."


This dialogue was horrible and i.didn't need to see anymore. And why they felt the need to say okay at the end of every sentence is beyond me.

SyFy is known for making crap but jesus at least try.

williamholloway,

The lines you refer to were intended to be humorous and
satirical. There were many more instances if you had
bothered to watch a bit longer,but I suppose you being
the clever person you imagine yourself to be didn't
bother. I wonder how often you watch a movie for five
minutes then misinterpret and fail to see the context of
what you have watched,switch off and then wax lyrical
about what a terrible movie it is.
There is nothing clever about that,all you do is make
yourself look,no wait,prove that you are stupid.
Ghostquake is no masterpiece,however after seeing some
of the complete garbage that masquerades as entertainment
on the Syfy channel it is a little better than that.

Calling me stupid is so necessary, right?

Coming from a film student, im pretty sure i know a tad bit more about film than you do. Satirical or not. Horrible dialogue is still horrible dialogue.

That's like if someone shot someone by accident but their excuse was, "Oh my bad, i meant to shoot the person next to you." Who cares?!? They still shot someone.

The writers and directors needed to do a better job on presenting the film as more satirical if that was their intention. Instead the film came off as cheesy and amateur.

I did not need to watch the film any longer. Five minutes was all i needed to know it was a piece of crap. But if you enjoyed it, thats great for you. Everyone has their own opinion and its pretty ignorant to bash somebody for their opinion. Which is why i am not gonna bash you nor call you stupid cause that's just immature and im not gonna stoop to your level. Have a nice day!

I'm curious - did you see either of the "Sharknado" movies, and, if so, did you think the writing was any better in them?

Horrible dialogue is however realistic for Americans. That makes the film realistic. In a way.
