I like si-fi also, especially the old 1950s B&W versions. Even the hokey special effects I can live with.

Today’s si-fi are ok if they got a decent plot (BATTLE Los Angeles comes to mind), but not one driven by computer special effects (John Carter or the awful VAN HELSING).

Many are quick crap made for the sifi channel or quick DVD sale with awful special effects.

I’ll never forget the day back in 1976 when I sat down with my soda and popcorn to watch the Si-fi movie always shown on Saturday night TV.

What I got was...”LIVE FROM NEW YORK! IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!”

Si fi had disappeared for NY crap. I was never the same since.

YESSSS!

This is what should be on the "SyFy" channel instead of endless ghost chasing, paranormal bump humping and wrasslin'!
