Why do SyFy movies Suck so bad?

Yep. It's like a requirement that every movie, with action in it, has at least 1 use of the Wilhelm scream, in them. I love that YouTube vid which spent minutes upon minutes showing as many Wilhelm scream samples used in a variety of movie scenes that they could find.

Looks like Spielburg/Lucas were also big fans of it, too. It's amazing I've watched their stuff for years, but never really keyed on that exact sample being used throughout their movies. They spaced it out, far enough, so I didn't catch it.

LOL, people still actually watch this channel? SeeFee is horrible and has been that way ever since the name change and it sold out to reality shows and wrestling! It's not even worthy of being called SciFi anymore. Shitty Seefee might as well put sports on their channel as well.

I honestly don't watch TV that much anymore, but Discovery and Comedy are much better to me at least, esp. Mythbusters and Man VS Wild or other survival shows.

So that's what that is!!! Ever since I was little I'd hear that in all sorts of movies, starting with Star Wars: A New Hope, and I'd always say to my parents and friends "Hey, that's the scream from Star Wars," and they'd just all shut me down on it. I am so happy that I'm not crazy.

I think we all should just refrain from commenting on this one. :P

Sorry, could NOT resist.

Not a problem. Even James Rolfe (known from the Angry Videogame Nerd) keyed on that, on one of his shorts.

Here's an article about the origin of that scream:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream

Oddly enough, as you can tell, the scream actually is named after a movie character which used that scream, but not the originator.

What's interesting is how Spielburg/Lucas comes full circle (since the first use of that scream seemed to originate from someone being attacked by an alligator) in Temple of Doom. Where there are *ahem* alligators below a suspension bridge. Kind of hard to not use that scream there, when there's such an amazing opportunity to honor its first use.

I'm just wondering how it's still going on, I mean I would love to see some dinosaur rip people to nothing, but not with playstation graphics.

It's still going on because people like my mother watch these films on a weekly basis.

there's really only been one on Syfy i liked. the Andromeda Strain. it sorta has a time paradox to it, since the virus was sent back so a cure can be found...but it survived in a small shard of itsself, until it wrecked the future again...getting sent back again. a timeline event loop, basically. which is a paradox, as its also an impossibility. until it was sent back, it didnt exist in the past. now it does, but it became the origin point in the future, making one wonder what the ORIGINAL origin point was. thus, because it was sent back, it technically HAD no origin point at that point. good movie, but one big logic flaw.

^ I think that looks pretty fun, to be honest. Not entirely sure why it can travel out of water, or why its tentacles can pierce skin, but you know what? I don't think I care. XD
