That is not, by chance, an unkind reference to fine offerings such as Swamp Volcano or Ice Road Terror by any chance, is it?

I would personally direct that towards things such as Dino-croc vs. Supergator.

And because they are formulaic and, somewhat, easier to write than a novel there are far, far, far more of them than novels written.
Everybody seems to think they can write a script. (They can't but that doesn't stop them.)
Having read my share of REALLY bad scripts. Also having watched the resulting mess (CAN WE SAY SCIFY) on TV.

Yes but the REALLY Really bad ones actually MAKE it that far - I've read some truly horrible slush pile submissions that NO one would ever thinking about letting see the published light of day - scripts on the other hand DO seem to, more often make it to someone with equally bad taste who just happens to know somebody, who knows somebody...
