kelliem: old-skool TV (tv)

I had a nice, relaxing weekend. It was nice not to have a big holiday to prep for. :) I got my monthly pedicure, and did some leisurely chores around the house, and read a lot (currently re-reading MZB's "Darkover" series) and watched a whole bunch of amusingly bad television. Basically I parked myself in front of the TV with the SciFi Channel on and watched: Manticore (wow, Robert Beltran has not aged well...); Wraiths of Roanoke (one of Adrian Paul’s better post-Highlander efforts, which isn't saying much); Minotaur (mmm, half-nekkid Tony Todd!); Abominable (wherein the creature bore an eerie resemblance to the late Jack Elam); Sasquatch Mountain (Lance Henriksen saves the day from lame-ass bank-robbers and Sasquatch at the same time!); Beyond Loch Ness (probably the best SFCOM I've seen to date); and Eye of the Beast (James van der Beek vs. giant freshwater squid on the Canadian side of Lake Superior!). Boy howdy, I am B-movied out. ;D

And in the news, I think this fellow must have done the same thing. Either that, or Torchwood needs to put a leash on Myfanwy.

ETA: Hey, that cretin who was plagiarizing [livejournal.com profile] thamiris has had his account suspended! Amazing!

SciFi has picked up a 5-year old Canadian-produced series called Odyssey 5 and will start airing it this Friday. I've seen a few eps of this recently and what I've seen I like a lot, so I'm reccing it to y'all. I guess it was originally shown on Showtime which explains why I never saw it (no premium channels!) back then. You'll see a lot of familiar faces in it, including Peter Weller (Buckaroo Banzai, RoboCop), Christopher Gorham (Jake 2.0, Ugly Betty), and Kenneth Mitchell (Jericho). It was conceived by Manny Coto who has a long history in TV, including 24, Strange World and Enterprise. Anyway, if you have a free slot in your viewing schedule, you might wanna check it out. :)
