eugimon Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Based on a board game. a movie of two kids playing the board game would still be better than fighting water bound space aliens... if they're water bound, how the hell did they get to earth?

big F Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 This WTF why would you even think of making something that bad, let alone think you'd get away with it. That sort of stuff gets you fatwa'd or your house fire bombed. Argh!! Thats gonna be a hard one to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areaseven Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just when you thought one movie was enough... Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus That's not all - check out who's starring in it. Wanzerfan would probably jump for joy over this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhillz Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Not really Sci Fi, but what about Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter? Believe me, the title and premise sound much better than the actual movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanoeuvres Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 omg what about "Yor: The Hunter From the Future"? I remember loving this terrible (terrible) movie when I was a kid. Haven't seen it recently but if I recall correctly it's pretty damn awful. So awful that it comes around full circle to good then back to awful again.

reddsun1 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Has anyone seen the Pendragon ver. of War of the Worlds? I've heard this film takes bad to epic proportions, and from the trailer I've seen on youtube, I'm apt to believe it. It appears to have a budget rivaling that of a rural-high-school play [honest to God, some of the actors are wearing what look like taped-on moustaches!]. I'm no masochist by any means; so I don't know why I've something of an urge to go out and find this on DVD, purchase large quantities of alcohol and attempt to watch it... Also, the Asylum ver of the same movie is truly, truly a front runner for this award--saw a snippet on SciFi channel, and I just couldn't endure. And I've always considered myself something of a B-movie connoisseur. I'd actually like to see a rendition faithful to Wells' original telling, truth be told. The Martian heat ray is much more terrifying in its original concept; but I can see how it would be difficult to translate to film.

Graham There's a guy that was posting eps to youtube, "Toyman Productions," that was serializing both the 1897 and Orson Wells vers, using stop motion and (what else) toys. They're actually quite entertaining. It's always cool to see ingenuity working around a shoestring budget. And, given the constraints of the technology being used, he's still come closest of all to Wells' vision of the Martian heat ray in action, and what the walkers most probably looked like. It's neat to try to figure out what bits and pieces are used to fabricate the props for stuff like this. LOL, I think the top half of a "Leggs" container forms the hood for one of the walker designs! I remember as a kid, having to go into the store to get them for me mum on Sundays before church... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
