It Brings To Mind...The "Sominex Sleep Aid"

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/schedule/?view=distributor&id=universal.htm

Somebody wake up the entire mass market movie going audience when it's all over so they can go and see some real movies with some real entertainment value from other (real) movie studios instead.

Read the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com...

And read these books at another location where Universal Studios executives and its stealth marketers won't be able to post negative, misleading (stealth marketed) reviews of the books via them purchasing candy and Rogaine Foam on Amazon.com (allowing them access to the Amazon book review section) and not actually buying and reading the books. I'll leave the other 150 global locations under wraps for now.

Barely One Month Into The New Year, It Is Being Repeatedly Proven That There Are Two Entities Universal Studios (NBC-Universal) Still Should Not Be Owning And Never Should Have Owned In The First Place

http://www.cvillenewsonline.com/221272/universal-settles-profit-dispute-over-knight-rider-battlestar-galactica/

Yeah...OK...Universal Studios settled with the estate of the late Glen A. Larson but...

What now?

1. More fake press releases coming from Universal Studios announcing more fake..."Battlestar 1978"...movies?

2. "Battlestar 1978"...really gets buried underneath a rock for good this time after the settlement? Not even mentioned in fake press releases anymore?

3. Universal Studios comes up with a..."Battlestar 1978"....movie that sucks so bad in being so poorly thought out and executed that fans of the new movie wished it had never been made and don't consider the movie..."Canon"....?

4. Universal Studios continues logging... year after year...decade after decade... of stunning examples of historic bad management of the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"....series?

Yeah...OK...there presently seems to be an..."uptick"....in what seems to be Science Fiction centered programming on the SyFy Channel but....

The SyFy Channel has a notorious and sordid history in engaging in...."NBC-Universal never should have owned this channel in the first place"....centered behavior...

1. Kicking the Science Fiction centered programming of the previous owners of this channel to the curb in favor of non-Science Fiction..."Junk Programming"...such as...

a. Crossing Over With John Edward
b. Scare Tactics
c. Dream Team
d. Wrestling
e.. "C.S.I." reruns
f. Any movie (any subject matter) from the "Universal Studios Film Vaults"
g. Sharknado
h. Ghost Hunters
i. William Shartner's Full Moon Fright Night
j. Those horrible Saturday night monster movies

2. Staging a "Hoax" with filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan...

3. When it was eventually revealed that John Edward was not a real psychic...

http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2009/06/18/sean-hannity-skeptic-about-john-edward-n/

4. Bad programming....lies...cheats....and more lies. No doubt about it. The former Sci-Fi Channel never should have been owned in the first place with the dreaded studio name....Universal Studios....anywhere near the ownership of this channel...regardless of who the present corporate owner of Universal Studios may be.

I Think Universal Studios "Marketing Strategy" For These Blu-Ray Discs Was..."Slide These Discs Into 'Crappy Looking Box Art Boxes' Surrounded By Incredulously Favorable 'Stealth Marketing Reviews' On Amazon.com"

This crappy box art spoke a thousand words on Universal Studios behalf...

1. "We have and always will hate the...'1978 Battlestar Galactica Series'....

2. "Our inclinations towards crappy....'1978 Battlestar Galactica Series'....merchandise will always continue.

3. "We will always hate the...."1978 Battlestar Galactica Series"....enormously enough to simultaneously appease...'1978 Battlestar'....fans with a few trinkets here and there (like this Blu-Ray set) we will occasionally put out on the market... while at the same time making the merchandise crappy enough in some way to squeeze a few nickels of merchandising revenue out of it always far short of its enormous revenue potential if we weren't its corporate owners putting out crappy merchandise like this on purpose."

4. "It's just fun for us at Universal Studios to continue torpedoing the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"....series with intentionally crappy merchandise like this because it's always fun to be irresponsible....especially at the corporate level. Just look at Republican Governor Rick Snyder."

No Third Season Of "Seaquest" On DVD For Us Here In The United States, Universal Studios?

Yes, season 3 of...."Seaquest".....sucked big time in comparison to the previous two seasons (but hey, doesn't just about everything you do Science Fiction related.....suck.....Universal Studios?)...

....but for those of who are...."Schlock Connoisseurs".....of bad Science Fiction television, we would like the third season of...."Seaquest"...released on DVD to complete our collections if you please.

The SyFy Channel's Erratic Programming Habits Continue To Bounce Around All Over The Map Like a Runaway Pinball

I will give the SyFy Channel credit for this one. This is an entertaining mini series based on a classic science fiction novel.

Even its recent efforts like..."Killjoys"....and..."The Expanse"....are big improvements over what they were showing in the past. Wrestling, and..."C.S.I."....reruns.

But for every two or three steps the SyFy Channel takes in the right direction with its programming, it takes huge steps back by remaining in the gutter with junk like...."Z Nation"...."C.S.I."....reruns,..."Sharknado".... and wrestling. If wrestling is even on the channel anymore. Old habits die hard I guess.

The SyFy Channel's bad programming habits are like a pinball bouncing all over the place in subject matter, not just Science Fiction.

Coming Soon From The SyFy Channel...."Jesse Lee James"

(New York) Coming soon from the SyFy Channel, the network that never does Science Fiction on its own unless all of the other cable networks are doing it first...but even then we still suck at it....

...comes another repetitive excursion into female character banality on the SyFy Channel. Fasten your seat belts in your reclining chairs for..."The Adventures of Jesse Lee James"...

Yes, Jesse Lee James...the great granddaughter of legendary outlaw Jesse James comes to the SyFy Channel in a contemporary setting because we at SyFy could never afford to do an actual full blown western set in the old west with horses, steam trains, extras in full cowboy wardrobe, and actually firing six shooters. The production costs would be so outrageous.

Jesse Lee James wants to clear the name of her great grandfather tarred and feathered in the past, by doing good in the present. That helps us at SyFy cut down on production costs by just doing location shooting in Vancouver, British Columbia....and the bargain basement soundstages there.

Join Jesse as she fights crime as a member of the...."Homicide Squad"...of the Vancouver Police Department. Occasionally strapping on non-firing six shooters and shoving her cell phone aside for theatrical effect, Jesse battles the supernatural and the ongoing limited budget of the SyFy Channel in this exciting new series. Her partners in crimefighting...District Attorney Barbie Lax-Case... and... Police Chief Slag Iron Rail of the Chipewta Tribe....fight the ogres and demons they occasionally encounter working homicide on the streets of Vancouver.

We at SyFy won't call the city Vancouver in the series. After holding a raffle and receiving thousands of entries from our viewers for the best name of this fictitious city, we at SyFy chose the entry of Chet "Nimrod" Cruiser from Battle Creek Michigan. Yes, the name of Jesse Lee James home city will be...."The City"....

Much the same way SyFy chose the title..."The Second One"....for the second..."Sharknado"....movie after receiving thousands of entries for that contest.

Just don't start jumping on us here at SyFy about our staggering lack of imagination in coming up with movie titles and other proper nouns. We hate that!!

The SyFy Channel's "Vanessa Helsing" And "Wynonna Earp" Characters Will No Doubt Become Humanized As Time Goes On

The CW's "IZombie's Olivia Moore" character started off as a rather frightening looking creature of the night.

She now is a less frightening...everyday looking contemporary gal who effortlessly blends in with the rest of the population with her everyday clothing, cell phone, and wants & desires just like every other female. While she is eating the brains of dead people at the morgue where she works.

"Vanessa Helsing" will no doubt start off as a kick ass, martial arts expert, slaying vampires with high tech weaponry and swords....

....Who will eventually mutate into a fashion designer at night who likes...."pretty, petite things"....

"Wynonna Earp" will no doubt start off as a sword wielding...laser pistol trigger happy slayer of monsters the SyFy Channel really couldn't depict on screen realistically with their budget...

....to a "Hooters" waitress ultimately....
