Yes Bob, I agree. While you have the ability to dissect movies and critique them (sometimes I may agree with you, sometimes not), your ideas so far seem to be b-rate at best. Something I'd probably see on the SyFy (I hate that namechange btw) Channel alongside Megashark spinoffs and Metal Tornado.
Actually maybe you should pitch them to SyFy...

I like the Beavers. I mean, of course it's full of insane ideas. But it's not any more ridiculous than say, a giant marshmallow man trampling thorugh new york because some guys with miniaturized nuclear power plants on their backs have to fight a demon wich in turn rose from a woman's fridge. I can see those Beavers supplying some good laughs in a horror comedy. Just saying.
Actually Beavers sounds delightfully campy. The kind of movie that comes with a riff track built into the dvd.
Dammit... after reading Bottlenose, now I cant get the image of a pack (or is it school?) of Dolphins overturning a boat full of teenagers and raping them all...
Thinking about it, why isnt that a movie yet?
Also Trekkies needs to be made... and im not saying that because everyone else is...

You know, if it was written in a way that wasn't too on-the-nose (geddit) and preachy, I could actually get on board with Bottlenose. I fear however, that had it ever been made or gained any recognition, that it would have suffered a lifetime of "Simpsons did it" dismissal.
Also yes Bob, I would pay good money to see Trekkie.

Considering things like Orca and Razorback, among other things, Beavers and Bottlenose are not that crazy sounding.
They just needed to be pitched to Golan-Globus/Cannon Group about 30 years ago.

Not gonna lie I really do want to see Trekkie get made. Though I'm trying to think, given that a show like 'Big Bang Theory' is one of the most popular shows on TV, would now be the perfect time for such a movie or is it the exact wrong time. Either way, I still want it.
It's the perfect time for it to be the exact wrong time, which makes it the perfect time.Frontastic said:

Anywho, Bottlenose could have been interesting, if only as a vehicle to get the word out to the wide-eyed idealists of the world who missed the memo about dolphins. As an actual movie... well, there's a reason I haven't even gotten up the interest to watch Jaws. Though, hell, pitch it to Spielberg as a bait-and-switch actual sequel to Jaws, keeping the twist completely hidden from the audience instead of putting it right there in the title, and it might work.
As bad as "Beaver" sounds, it's nowhere near as bad as a movie that actually got made: Killer Shrews [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052969/]. Featuring the best in 1950's "science", starring a scientist working to reduce humans to half their usual size (to reduce food consumption and prevent worldwide starvation) somehow managing to alter shrews into growing ten times their normal size, requiring that they eat three times their own body weight in food daily or starve to death. Oh, and half the movie is spent watching the lead characters guzzle booze.
There's a reason Mystery Science Theater 3000 picked this movie to riff.
