SUMMER MOVIES

“Malibu Shark Attack,” starring Peta Wilson – An underwater earthquake generates a tsunami that strikes Malibu and brings a hunting pack of prehistoric-looking goblin sharks to the surface. Although the beach is evacuated before the big wave strikes, a group of lifeguards and a crew of construction workers are stranded in the high water and have to fight the sharks to get to dry land.

“High Plains Invaders,” starring James Marsters – In the early 20th century, a small western mining town is invaded by giant insectoid alien creatures whose only mission is to mine uranium to fuel their spaceship – but they’ll kill anyone or anything that gets in their way. After they devastate the town, it’s up to a retired outlaw to lead a small group of survivors in fighting thing “bugs.”

“Hellhounds,” directed by Rick Schroeder – After his bride is poisoned at their wedding, a young Greek warrior risks a journey to Hades to rescue her from the God of the Underworld and bring her back to life. What he doesn’t know is that the best friend who accompanies him is the man who killed her in a jealous rage.

“Sand Serpents,” starring Jason Gedrick – At an isolated Taliban outpost in Afghanistan, a small platoon of US soldiers faces a danger far greater than fanatical rebels – giant worm-like creatures that come up through the sand and devour everything in their path. Their inexperienced lieutenant has to lead them across the treacherous desert to a rendezvous point where an army helicopter will pick them up – but not all of them are going to make it.

you know the best part of this was totally the roomie's reactions. i couldn't read the last one and she taunted me until i caved...so i started with who it starred, and gave her a description of what he's "famous" for, and her response was a horrified, "there were multiples???" i almost laughed up my spleen at the look on her face. then she starts on with how do we get on that "gravy train", and i protest with its impossibility because we are incapable of writing that. when i backed up my argument with how we'd be eliminated simply by virtue of plot presence, she said, "what? there's plot. STOMP, STOMP. see? plot."

hilarity ensued.

i think Schroeder's got the best chance at having something that is both fun and doesn't suck, simply by virtue of it being set in the world of Greek mythology. and i would *not* turn down a chance to direct....welllllll, i wouldn't turn down a chance to direct anything that wasn't porn.

the others though? i'm hoping it was a combo of the pay not sucking and the shoot being a lot of silly fun.

I only know Jason Gedrick from a guest shot on SPN, but oh, Syfyllis, indeed.

And Peta Wilson is doing this? Egads.

Wedge went to film school with one of Syphy's producer types. He's the only guy I know who will unironically pound Chad on the shoulder and go "HEY BIG MAN" if we run into him in public.

heh.

met Tom Vitale. very sweet, and a legit champion of quality storytelling. though, he was apparently a bit afraid to meet us [the savefarscape.com crew] as Kemper had to nearly drag him to our table. it was fairly adorable.

Not another worm.

*horrified face*

Someone at that network has some seriously fucked-up, Freudian, snake symbolism issues.
