: On Sat. I was checking what's on TV tonight and I see they
were airing this TV movie on Showcase. I looked up what a chimera is, on dictionary.com:
"a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail." I went on imdb.com and it got a bad rating.
I then went on Youtube to check out the trailer. Here are some comments:

andres lopez: MATERPIECE!!!!! GREAT FILM
DirEnGay: It seems that the intent of these SyFy original movies are lost on most viewers.
They are intentionally bad movies, because sad as it may sound,
there's actually a cult following
for this type of movie and will always be the case. I enjoy watching one or two bad movies also,
and the Japanese ones too like Machine Girl and Robo Geisha. They're not intended to be mindblowingly intelligent and brilliant films, they're made on a shoestring budget with the intentions of going straight to TV/DVD.

My opinion: I guess there are people out there who like to watch bad movies to make snarky comments about it during it when watching with friends, and posting it on the internet. I mentioned before that my friend Sarah liked Hansel and Gretal Witch Hunters because it was so over the top. Same with TV shows and movies, you watch it for the train wreck factor. It's so bad, but you can't take your eyes away from it.
However, I don't like to watch bad movies. I always have to do my research if I want to invest time in something.
Kid/ teenager me: When I was a kid and teenager, I always watch movies when it comes on TV. There are times when I know it's bad, but I still want to watch it for the experience and to say that I saw that movie. I don't watch movies in the theatres very much when I was a kid. I love The Baby- Sitter's Club movie. I got to watch that when it came out when I was 10 yrs old. lol.
Early 20s: I was still like that when I was in my early 20s. I was watching bad movies to learn why it's bad and how to write better.
Late 20s: I would say I did start only watching good movies, or watching movies that I was actually interested in. There are times I will watch a bad movie or something I'm not really interested in, because there is a hot actor that I really like. That is the only redeeming quality.
These are the reasons why I watch certain movies.
Comparisons:
Innocent person getting hurt or killed over someone else's actions:
The Sausage Factory: The episode where Zack and Gilby get jobs at a video store and Gilby was letting teen boys rent out porn tapes though it's against the rules.
Zack: What if you get caught?
Gilby: I won't. If I do, I'll say I simply misread the title.
Gilby becomes the assistant manager and Zack wanted the position. Gilby then lets Zack get the title. At the end of the episode a man enters and goes up to Zack.
Man: Hi, are you the assistant manager?
Zack: Why yes, I am.
Man: So you're the guy who was letting my son rent out porn tapes! I'm going to beat you up for that!
Man picks up Zack and about to punch him in the face.
Gilby is standing behind the counter.
Zack: Wait, stop! It was an accident, it was a mistake!
Gilby: He misread the title! It won't ever happen again!
Ted comes in and drops off a tape.
Ted: Thanks for the porn.
They're both fired.
Smallville: It was done on Smallville. Adam Brody (from The OC) was Zack on The Sausage Factory and now he's on the Smallville ep. His character on Smallville was a victim of a hit-and-run, and he got a partial license plate number. The car was finally matched to Principal Kwan. He then confronts Kwan and kills him.
Later Clark does some investigating and talks to Kwan's son who says: "I did the hit- and-run. My dad knew about it, and he was trying to protect me." So he killed the wrong guy, though Principal Kwan was about 50% responsible because he was an accomplice in a way.
Desperate Housewives: In the first season, someone wrote a note to Mary Alice and she commits suicide. Her husband Neil tries to find out who wrote the note, and the stationary leads to Edie. He takes her somewhere in the woods to kill her, unbeknownst to her. Edie says that's not her stationary, and it's Miss. Hubers because she's staying at her house.
The Originals: A fall TV show I'm excited to watch is The Vampire Diaries spin- off The Originals. There was a back- door pilot made when a whole Vampire Diaries episode was about the original vampires like Klause, Elijah, and Rebekah.
Thomas Wharton: I cut out this Edmonton Journal article way back in 2002 or 2003. He was the judge to the writing contest Postcard Fiction. Write a 500 words (or less) short story where it mentions the word "scissors" and if you win, you get published in the Edmonton Journal. I wrote a short story, and no I didn't win. I was 17 yrs old. I remember the story vaguely like a guy and a girl are riding on a bus. The guy's name was Twitch.
The article is by Marc Horton. Wharton has written books like Icefields and Salamander. He was the writer-in-residence at the University of Alberta. The article mentions that writers must have discipline.
TW: "This summer I did a writing workshop at UBC and right in the middle of that I had this idea for a book. It was just suddenly THERE. I could see it in my mind, exactly how it would be and I became quite inspired.
Usually it starts out as just a vague notion of something and then I explore it and don't quite know where it's going. It's just working with images and ideas and character and seeing what happens. It is, sometimes a scary way to work."
He has actually won a lot of awards:

Omar's advice: I emailed Omar, the writer-in- residence back at Edmonton Public Library. A month ago I sent him Rain Part 5 and 6, and he said he wanted to read the first 2 parts so he could see if I have taken his advice or rewrote it.
I emailed him back: "I think there are some rewrites to it, but not so significant that you would actually notice. There a few lines deleted and new ones added. I want you to read Part 5 and 6 where it's more different."
Red: Werewolf Hunter: I was looking up Syfy TV movies and they put this one up on Youtube. It's the full length one.
Here it is:

It stars Felicia Day, a slayer-in-training on Buffy. I remember watching this in 2010 and how it wasn't really that good. It was mediocre.
