Slither

The ship has two continually-running movie channels. We don't have a TV in the shop, so I don't watch them very often. Still, last night I wasn't busy for a bit, and I stopped by Maintenance Control, and saw Nathan Fillon onscreen. You know, Mal from Firefly? So I watched for a bit.

He was in a movie called Slither. If you are ever trapped in a room with that movie playing and all you've got is a sharp stick, don't poke your eyes out. Because it's much easier to poke your ears out first, and _then_ poke your eyes out. That movie made my inner child cry. From what I saw, it didn't fall into the "So bad it's funny" category (E.g. Battlefield Earth). It sat solidly in the "Just plain bad" category, like a dog turd stuck to the shoe of the cinematic arts.

1 Somehow I get the idea you didn't like it. Our friends are bit Firefly/Serenity fans and we played several episodes of the RPG, but it just doesn't grab me.

My best friend played the RPG, I think he thought the system was OK, but his game needed a better GM. And as to the movie, well, with his TV series cancelled I guess a guy needs a paycheck. But damn, that's not a movie to proudly show the grandkids some day.
