"VAN HELSING" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."THE HULK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."CAT IN THE HAT" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."JOSEY & THE PUSSYCATS" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."FLINTSONES" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."VIVA: ROCK VEGAS" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."ROCKY & BULLWINKLE" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE...."HOWARD THE DUCK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."PITCH BLACK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE....."VIRUS" FAILS AT BOX OFFICE.....

WHEN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS CANCELLED ALL OF THE SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMS ON "SCI-FI CHANNEL" AND REPLACED THEM WITH NON-SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMMING, THEY NEGLECTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE NETWORK TO SOMETHING MORE FITTING. "THE HORROR CHANNEL", "THE USA NETWORK FILM VAULT CHANNEL", "THE INFOMERCIAL NETWORK", "THE HORROR/ACTION CHANNEL", OR "THE COMMERCIAL BROADCAST NETWORK" WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE TITLES.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TRACK RECORD WITH FANTASY MOVIES ISN'T MUCH BETTER. UNIVERSAL STUDIOS USUALLY RUNS INTO PROBLEMS WHEN THEY TRY TO MAKE LIVE ACTION MOVIES BASED ON COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS. THE "HULK" BORED AUDIENCES TO DEATH BARELY 10 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE.....TURNING "VAN HELSING" INTO A SUPERNATURAL "RAMBO" WAS TOO RIDICULOUS FOR WORDS....."CAT IN THE HAT" PROVED THAT 5 YEAR OLD KIDS WEREN'T READY FOR "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" HUMOR......"JOSEY AND THE PUSSYCATS" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A "CHARLIE'S ANGELS" RETREAD BASED ON A 1970 CARTOON THAT NO ONE REMEMBERED......THE "FLINTSTONES" MOVIES PROVED THAT REBUILDING "BEDROCK" ON A STUDIO BACKLOT WASN'T ENOUGH TO DRAW IN THE FANS OF THE CARTOON.....SOME PROPERTIES SHOULD BE LEFT IN CARTOON FORM, WHICH "ROCKY & BULLWINKLE" PROVED......"HOWARD THE DUCK" WAS GEORGE LUCAS'S FIRST CAREER FLOP. HOW FITTING THAT LUCAS CHOSE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FOR THAT MOMENTOUS OCCASION......"PITCH BLACK" WAS "PITCH DULL"....."CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK" DISAPPEARED FROM THEATERS FASTER THAN "FINAL FANTASY-THE SPIRITS WITHIN"......AND "VIRUS" PROVED THAT WHEN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS MADE A MOVIE FOR THE SUMMER OF 1999, NO ONE CAME AND WENT TO THE BEACH INSTEAD......

THE MANAGEMENT OF "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS/SCI-FI CHANNEL" IS AN OPENLY HOSTILE REGIME TOWARDS THE VIEWING PUBLIC, SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMMING, AND THE "BATTLESTAR GALACTICA" COPYRIGHT. THE ENDLESS GRAVEYARD OF CANCELLED TELEVISION SHOWS ON "SCI-FI CHANNEL" AS WELL AS UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ENDLESS BOX OFFICE FAILURES INDICATES THAT THIS IS A CORPORATION THAT DELIBERATELY LOST ITS WAY IN MAKING RATIONAL BUSINESS DECISIONS. ONE CAN ALWAYS HOPE FOR MIRACLES, AND THE PERMANENT FINANCIAL DOWNFALL OF "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS/SCI-FI CHANNEL" IS A DREAM SHARED BY MANY.

What Has Bonnie Hammer Really Accomplished?
« on: November 09, 2004, 01:16:44 PM »
Obviously, Universal Studios personal definition of success does not fall in line with most definitions of success. In the case of Sci-Fi Channel, Universal Studios was content in hiring a NO BRAIN HACK like Bonnie Hammer to warp the channel into a BARELY FUNCTIONING, BARELY WORKABLE cable channel that would SQUEAK BY barely enough to pay some salaries with a few pennies left over. So, in this particular case; Universal Studios was not looking for MASSIVE SUCCESS from Sci-Fi Channel, but rather, a moderately workable subsidiary that would just do "O.K." in the cable industry landscape. And Universal Studios seems happy with this for some reason.

It is obvious that under Universal Studios management, Sci-Fi Channel HASN'T EVEN COME CLOSE in realizing its full potential as a true blue Science Fiction channel. Most of this is due to the fact that Universal Studios RIPPED all of the Science Fiction content right out of the channel and turned it into a SCHIZOPHRENIC HODGEPODGE of BAD PROGRAMMING IDEAS: From long forgotten movies in the USA Film Vaults, to forgettable horror movies, to forgettable reality programs. Universal Studios manages Sci-Fi Channel with that characteristic finesse they have always managed "Battlestar Galactica" with, which isn't saying much.

Universal Studios STRIVES FOR MEDIOCRITY and INSTANTLY FORGETTABLE PROGRAMMING on Sci-Fi Channel. Ironically, they then about face and claim that this MEDIOCRE PROGRAMMING is the greatest thing to ever happen to popular culture. Complete with OUTRAGEOUS RATINGS CLAIMS from its ON-LINE SMOKE & MIRRORS SERVICE "www.scifi.com/scifiwire." It is no secret to anyone that Universal Studios and all of its subsidiaries (including Sci-Fi Channel) are the most BADLY MANAGED CORPORATE ENTITIES on the face of the Earth. Corporate employees of Universal Studios who couldn't hold down a job at a traveling carnival are incredulously promoted to even more responsibilities. If it can be proven that Bonnie Hammer earned her promotion within Universal Studios, it can also be proven that the 2000 election was run honestly.

What has Bonnie Hammer proven at Sci-Fi Channel? That she is a "One Woman PMS Wrecking Ball" for starters. Lets take a look at the EFFORTLESS DESTRUCTION this "Lifetime Network Nitwit" has inflicted on Sci-Fi Channel:

1) All of the Science Fiction content of the channel HAS BEEN DESTROYED.

2) The channel is now a GRAVEYARD for all of the TRASHY MOVIES in the USA Film Vaults.

3) Bonnie Hammer's infatuation with "Star Trek" goes way beyond the ENVY she feels for Paramount Pictures "Star Trek" franchise. It slams right into making a "Star Trek" sequel series and calling it "Battlestar Galactica."

4) The Sci-Fi Channel is now the "Horror/Reality Trash/Frankenfish" network with Saturday night movies so BADLY WRITTEN and PRODUCED, that television critics won't even bother reviewing her movies because there is no such thing as rating a BAD MOVIE in NEGATIVE DIGITS. A whole new set of NEGATIVE STANDARDS would have to be established in reviewing Bonnie Hammer's movies, and no one is about to start.

Bonnie Hammer has accomplished one thing at Sci-Fi Channel. Her late night infomercials are MORE ENTERTAINING than her GOD AWFUL PROGRAMMING IDEAS.
