A great B movie is on the sci fi channel right now on Directv. It's
stupid, but fun to watch.

The Wa of the Worlds series was a guilty pleasure of mine when I was a
kid. They did effects stuff on that show that really pushed the
limits.

This movie was more recent than that, 2008 in fact. It's so bad that
it's entertaining to watch, if you like that kind of thing.

This is old news IIRC; isn't this the sequel to the C. Thomas Howell
abomination, that even I refused to watch? If so, Ian liked it; go talk
to him. :)

It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!

Actually, I am guessing its the sequel to Tom Cruise's sciencetological
abomination.

And isn't the fact that you _don't_ like them the whole point of reading
your reviews?

No, Anim is right. It's a sequel (http://www.imdb.com/title/
tt1183733/) based on the C. Thomas Howell WotW (direct to video 2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449040/. It's the one that they let CTH
direct it (The sequel), which is probably the only reason he was *in*
it.

They both sucked, but at least Cruise's had decent effects that
weren't done on just *anyone's* computer.

I believe he did a review of it already, a while ago. I also seem to
recall laughing my ass off the whole way through it.

Is this the Steampunk one with Adrian Paul in it?
