Dear Sci Fi channel
It's Snake Day on the Sci Fi channel, which means hours of cheap entertainment, and I do mean cheap. Crappy CGI, crappy acting, crappy everything, with an occasional grade Z actor popping up. Dude, what's the budget on these things? $2.99?

Anyhoo....just a tip. When you title a movie Boa versus Python, my first mental image isn't snakes. Well, two snakes. I think of a feather boa and a snake. I do not need this mental image. It's just too bizarre, even for me. And even worse, it leads to thoughts of Jesse Ventura in the boa. Now, do you wnat to do that to me, huh?

Would it be too much to do a new film about zombies? Huh? Do you guys have a suggestion box, or did you blow it all on whatever chemicals you use to think of movies?

I'd advise better chemicals---or less.

Have you ever seen a movie called A Carnival Of Souls (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055830/). It occurred to me last week that it might be your kind of movie.

If you want to check it out, make sure you get the one from 1962. There's a '90's movie with the same name.

I have no new zombie movies to recommend, but this tickled my fancy this morning:

Knitted zombies!

I need to learn how to knit.

My first thought on hearing Boa vs. Python is "Snakes can't code."

They probably could code in Python. Python's darned easy. (I love it and try to convert everyone I know to it.)

If a Boa was going to code, it would pretty much have to be in LISP, don't you think?

Is Boa vs. Python the one that led to the short-lived, but hilarious, "release an equally large boa" meme?

Yes, it is. http://yuki-onna.livejournal.com/359258.html

I put the link to the post that got Metaquoted in my comment above. There was a short, but funny, period of time when some people used "release an equally large boa" as a useful solution to everything.

I just can't shake the mental image of people 'releasing' large boas---you know, the feathered ones-----to solve some national emergency.

I imagine them flying through the air on their own power, then wrapping around people to take them down.

And the people they seize are sort of spitting and blowing to get the feathers out of their mouths.

And one end of the feather boa is repeatedly striking at their faces like a venomous snake.

Best mental image ever.

See, the phrase "feathered boa" only ever makes me think of one thing.

Oh, lord, the last zombie movie I saw on Sci-Fi was TERRIBLE. I only watched like two minutes of it, but I remember seeing that the makeup only went to their chins and their necks were still normal flesh tones XDD I think I lost hope at that point.

Be careful what you wish for. I saw this horrible zombie movie that a friend lent to me, Day of the Dead 2: Contagion. It was shown on the Sci-Fi channel.
