Did anyone see Sharknado?

SHARKNADO - Official Asylum Trailer - TOO VIOLENT FOR TV?? - YouTube

 

[Beth Carter]

now i remember why i stopped getting my sci-fi fix from syfy. [doh] find a burnt out actor who will work for free, take one natural disaster, mix in an animal, voila, it's a syfy classic. eureka was the last decent show they had and they ruined that. and i still hold a grudge against them for canceling sg-1. sorry, i'll stop ranting now.

 

[Pete Askew]

And someone funded that?!

Thanks Steve.

 

[Jim Kuo]

Is this serious??

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks Steve, never heard of it.

Looking at the trailer it really makes me want laugh at it.
I feel sorry for the director, because I know he/she is serious about the work they they've done, and by the look of it, a lot of effort has gone into it.

As a matter if opinion only, the title makes me cringe and the trailer looks like an utter load of ********.
If I was being really picky, I'd say that they is no way the length of that chainsaw blade was long enough to slice through the thickness of that shark, or sharp enough for that matter.... And many other things on top of that...

I think it's just a desperate effort to fill in a gap of an idea that hasn't been thought of before, with epic failing results (judging on the trailer that is)
Snakes on a plane.... Shaknado... What next? Hippocrocopigamus attacks?

Actually Dan, 'Hippocrocopigamus Attacks' was a damned fine movie. The way it dealt with interspecies relationships was delicately handled and many have compared it with 1984 and how that may have panned out had it been set in sub-Saharan Africa. Casting Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leptidopterist who casts aside his net and pooter and takes up the Kalashnikov in support of his own species (who he had long before sworn to distance himself from - due to their continued slaughter of Pieris rapae) was a stroke of genius. His facial expressions alone reveal the anguish he feels. And Andy Serkis really brings the Hippocrocopigamus alive. The emotion he can deliver from that much latex needs to be seen to be believed. Destined to be a cult classic IMHO!

My life has been forever changed since I heard Ian Ziering's existential call to action in Sharknado:

“We’ll stand and fight. We can’t just wait here and wait for sharks to rain down on us.”

 

[Brian Moore]

NPR did a review of the film. I think it's destined to be a cinema classic.

Now I've read the plot it seems so much better than I could have imagined!
