"Hey, I'm Norton the SatelliteGuy!"

A stupid line from an amazingly stupid movie that's on MGM-HD right now. I only mention it because it has an amazingly stupid and inaccurate depiction of our favorite hobby.

"TerrorVision" R Movie. Diane Franklin, Gerrit Graham, Mary Woronov. (1986)
New satellite-dish owners pick up a garbage-eating alien able to come out of their TV sets. (HD)

This is so bad, I want to DVR it. I just can't describe how indescribably bad this movie is. And of course it's the only thing on MGM that isn't repeated this week.

Ouch! My eyes are hurting. Not to mention my brain. I...cannot take...any more of...THIS! Must...DVR the rest...for later...self-torture.

Here's an even better write up about it. TerrorVision B-Movie Review

Apparently there's a whole website devoted to this type of movie. Bad movies.

People of Earth: Destroy your satellite receivers. Render your televisions inoperable for 200 Earth years. It may already be too late.
