I was sorting through my work database when I clicked on this. Turns out, I have 35 different cheese ingredients. Take that, Asia!
What made me unhappy today ?
- Thread starter big soft moose
- Start date
I'm just wondering: why are there so many cheap-o Z-rated films? :-\
The whole concept of the "Sharknado" film was bad enough before I learned that there were six of them. But even that wasn't enough, apparently.
In addition to those, somebody made a "Stonado" film (where large rocks get caught in a tornado and spat out at people), a "Clownado" film (where a tornado transports scary clowns around?), a "Monsternado" film (where prehistoric monsters ... somehow ... get transported to the USA from the Bermuda Triangle, 'cos why not) ...
... and finally, the crowning turd in this entire crap-bucket: "Catnado". Because, again, why not.
*Sigh* Does anybody even watch this
? I mean, I've heard of the lowest common denominator, but ...

Not me, and I find it just as confusing as you do.*Sigh* Does anybody even watch this
It's low investment, low return but those movies probably make more proportionally than big studio big movies. They're aiming for so bad they're good but miss the essential ingredient to reach that standard. The movie has to be an earnest attempt to make a good movie before it can acquire the charm of so bad it's good. They're just terrible, devoid of any redeeming qualities other than having something late at night when drunkards fall asleep in front of TV.
I didn't think about that, but it seems you're right. Films like this are the televisual equivalent of having a terrible kebab at 2am after being kicked out of the last pub to stay open. It may be utterly horrible, but at least you're eating something.
It reminds me not a little of Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler and his horrible sausages-inna-bun. =P For anyone who's unaware of CMOT Dibbler (from Terry Pratchett's Discworld): he's a little rat-faced man who sells sausages-inna-bun from a tray around his neck. The quality of the sausages is awful, to the point where you need the ketchup and mustard just to force them down. His name originates from his catchphrase "I'll sell it to you for less, but it's cutting me own throat!"
The forecast that it's going to be 31C on Friday made me unhappy today.
99F (37C) here on Tuesday apparently.
Ours will only be 95F (35C) Tuesday apparently. Still way too hot any way you slice it.
Every time the temp creeps over 30C like it did here today, I think of this meme:
It's gonna be warm here for the next week or longer, but the forecast for this coming Monday is showing a humidex of 47 during the day and 36 at night. 47C in Freedom Units is 116.
This is the only thing I miss about working on-site - it's always nice and cool. My air conditioner is in my bedroom, and despite my best fan placement, I can't get it nearly as cool at the other end of my apartment. So I guess I'll just be working in my underwear that day.

Have you considered moving away from the surface of the sun? That's way too hot for me. I'd burrow under ground.
Odd weather in Central Texas. Nine inches of rain this past week according to the local paper. Which is almost exclusively delivered as PDF, not on paper.
