Not original

[KJbushway]

I am sorry but you can't call Battle of Los Angelos a syfy original movie when the new one(much better) is coming out. You can call it the usual syfy original crap movie collection(which is most movies Syfy as created). If your going to rip the title and the catch phrase atleast make it close to being as good as the new one coming out or a little better.

Syfy
Infraction- Ripping off a good movie. Also making crapy movies.
Point(s)= 100

Have you seen Battle Los Angeles? It could be crap too.

 

[KJbushway]

No I have just seen the commercials, but the actors that are in it are such that they wouldn't sign up for a suck film.

 

[Admiral_Young]

I'm confused. There's a SyFy Channel movie with the same name?

 

[KJbushway]

yes, coming out soon. If you check the website its the newest original movie. AKA its a sucky movie.

[Admiral_Young]

Okay. Had no idea. The difference in the titles of course is the colon : ) I'm looking forward to the theatrical film though.

 

[KJbushway]

So am I. I have quit trying to see if there is any actual quality and good acting in syfy films. Its were dying actors get to add to there resume and new actors get a sense of the business. Some movies are like a step away from cheap porn.(in the acting sense)

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I wish they really would call it "Battle of Los Angelos." See! Not the same movie at all. Why do people think that?

 

[KJbushway]

I might have typed it wrong. But its around the same idea. It even stole a catch phrase, one of the early ones.

Most of Syfy's Original Movies aren't really original to Syfy anyway, most of them are produced by The Asylum, which is notorious for churning out sci-fi films which bear a remarkable similarity to big-budget Hollywood sci-fi pictures. I suspect Battle of Los Angeles is one such movie.

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

You beat me to it, Skywalker! I loathe Asylum. How they can still be activley ripping off other movie titles is beyond me. It continues this summer with Thor:God of Thunder. Ugh. Watch one of these movies,and any bad movie you've ever seen suddenly becomes Oscar worthy!

Because that never happens.

. . . I have quit trying to see if there is any actual quality and good acting in syfy films. It’s where dying actors get to add to their resume and new actors get a sense of the business.

In other words, SyFy is what AIP was in the 1960s and ’70s.

From those it looked like a District 9 remake (sequel) to me?
at least that was the feeling I got.

 

[KJbushway]

Funny I thought the same thing, but then again its battle of Los Angeles, 9 that took place in South Africa.

 

[Sephiroth]

THE ASSYLUM (said in a tone denoting both anger and loathing)

 

[KJbushway]

^ I have never heard of that. What is it?

 

[sojourner]

^The Asylum? the production company mentioned earlier in the thread? The one that makes all of these terrible movies that SyFy broadcasts?

 

[KJbushway]

I thought he was talking about a movie. But yeah I see what it means now.

 

[KJbushway]

Well about 5:00 pm I will see hollywood's version of Battle Field Los Angeles.
Tonight at 9pm Its syfy's take on the movie.
I can already guess what one is going to be better.
