Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus

From the greats of the silent era to the modern masterpieces of the 21st century, the medium of film has never truly achieved artistic perfection. Until today.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The Room is as close to artistic perfection as film can be.

Ah, Asylum, the geniuses who brought us the cinematic tour de force that was (and still is) "Transmorphers," which, "[u]nlike its namesake... has no recognizable actors, no merchandising tie-ins and a garbled sound mix. Also unlike “Transformers,” it has cheap special effects and a subplot involving lesbians."

Yeah, but you just know in the sequel they'll have to put aside their differences and team up to fight the greater menace that is ELBOW SQUID!

In fact, the entire Asylum slate is pretty impressive:
Sexpot3-DDD (A comedy about sex and pot. In 3D. Which is an interesting trick given that it's direct-to-video).
The Terminators (Built to serve mankind... now re-programmed to destroy!)
War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave (starring C. Thomas Howell and Kid!)
Snakes on a Train (No, seriously-- I shit you not. "Under a powerful Mayan curse, snakes are hatched inside a young woman, slowly devouring her from within. Her only chance for survival is a powerful shaman who lives across the border. With only hours to live, she jumps on a train headed for Los Angeles. Unfortunately for the passengers aboard, they are now trapped, soon to be victims of these flesh-eating vipers.")
I could go on, but I'll spare you.

Hey, John, it's your manager. Good news. These producers have optioned your script. Here's the thing, they aren't super experienced. They've done a few things, and they know their way around a set, but they haven't actually produced anything before. But one of them is an actor, he's done lots of stuff. He starred in Transmorphers. The money's good, though, and they really...

3) No, these are just plain terrible. And they make a whole movie like this?
4) Their website is also hilarity-free.

I was on board with this until I saw the footage of the Iowa-class battleship steaming into action. There is no freaking way that they would be able to get either of the two remaining Iowas out of mothballs, refitted and ready to go in time to deal with a giant-shark-and-octopus crisis.

I have to see this film! This could take the all-time number one spot from Atomic Twister, in which a tornado sweeps through a small town and threatens its nuclear power plant. As it's the night-shift, the power plant is of course manned only by the young-but-plucky-female-nuclear-physicist and the non-too-bright-but-heart-of-gold janitor. THRILL to the cars-on-visible-wires being flung around by the tornado! GASP at the arrogance of the alpha-male-policeman who ignores the physicist's warnings! SIGH at the loosely tacked-on subplot in which the attractive teenagers survive mild peril and end up falling in love! And when you've enjoyed Atomic Twister, watch its spiritual sister Atomic Train, in which a nuclear bomb is being transported by train that gets hijacked and catches on fire. Naturally, the bomb is travelling next to a stack of Sodium ingots (yes, you heard me) so dumping water on the fire only exacerbates their problems...

Many reviewers took issue with the bad dialogue, particularly a scene where John Barrowman delivers the dead-pan line, "You know, I'm really wired. What do you say I take you home and eat your pussy?" This was later revealed (on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross) to be an ad-lib by Barrowman intended to make his co-star laugh, although for some reason it was left in the movie's final cut. Some subsequent TV broadcasts of the movie, however, replace the line with "What do you say I take you home and we watch I Love Lucy?"I'm not sure which version I love better.

Ah, that's where I remember "The Asylum" from! We rented it from a Redbox one day just for the laugh factor. That giant robot on the cover? It doesn't from that spot the entire movie. It doesn't take a step, it barely does anything! In fact, the humans in the movie don't even appear to be too concerned with it. I wouldn't doubt if it was added on a whim during post production.
The Wikipedia list of "mockbusters" is also pretty great, although the list of "formerly popular actors and musicians" that star in their films is pretty depressing.
Their film Ten Million Years B.C. (also rented from Redbox) has Michael Gross, the dad from Family Ties. I couldn't help feeling sorry for him, but I also couldn't help hoping that the dinosaur that causes the oddly tacked-on third act of the film wouldn't be devoured by a gigantic bloodthirsty Alex P. Keaton.
Ah, "The Asylum." If it weren't for you, would Redbox have anything at all?

To be fair to Mr. Barrowman, it's only slightly less wooden than how he normally reads lines.
cause seriously, it wasn't the nonsense plots that turned me off Torchwood, It was the horrible, horrible acting. If you have a drama-sci-fi-thing you need to make me care about the omnisexual-immortal hero , at least a little

Not bad. But it's no zombie fire ants vs 4 foot long cement eating worms

lol for dersins on the Snakes on a Train reference.
Funny story along with that travesty - they tried to sue the studio that did Snakes on a Plane for stealing their idea.
I find it more likely that they heard about the Snakes on a Plane idea and quickly vomited out a script and movie so they could "finish" their "masterpiece" first and make the aforementioned spurious claim.

I caught about the last third of Alien v. Hunter on Sci-Fi last night.
I am now even more excited for this film.
