The Chupacabra or Chupa...Bob...<br /><br />From Wikipedia...<br /><br />The Chupacabra or Chupacabras (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃupaˈkaβɾa], from chupar "to suck" and cabra "goat", literally "goat sucker") is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities. The name comes from the animal's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats.Tony Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356415470545816484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-65270278385138356262013-03-26T09:55:39.933-04:002013-03-26T09:55:39.933-04:00Hi Tony!

I'm also a fan of the "so bad it's good" type of movie, and yet I find most of the movies produced for the Syfy Channel (most from Asylum studios, I believe) to be utterly unwatchable. I used to wonder why, until I realized that the big difference between some Corman cheeser from the 60's and the current batch of drek produced by the Syfy Channel is that the producers of the latter have an undercurrent of absolute cynicism about their own movie. Corman's movies, for all their undisputed cheese, did have directors that attempted to add some spark to them and elevate them (if only a little) above their low budget origins. The Syfy movies, to me at least, convey the idea that they are produced entirely by a group of people, actors included, who regard their own movie as the piece of crap that it is, and they are producing it in the same way that a factory produces a widget; make it fast, make it as cheap as possible, and the quality doesn't matter because we are producing this for drones who will devour anything we make. That's the other part of the cynical attitude that becomes apparent to me; the producers who make these movies feel that they can trowel anything onto our plates because hey, we're science fiction fans, which by default means we are so non-discriminating that we will watch anything as long as it has a sci-fi theme. With the advent of affordable CGI that now makes special effects possible for low budget movies that would have been unheard of 15 years ago, I can imagine the endless possibilities for science fiction movies to be made, and am endlessly disappointed that the only ones that anyone can come up with are MegaGerbil Vs UltraSchnauzer, starring David Hasselhoff.Ron Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-18193657368287154432013-03-26T08:57:47.232-04:002013-03-26T08:57:47.232-04:00Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly IS a chupaca...Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly IS a chupacabra?
