Isn’t “Sharknado 2” the obvious name? Maybe “Sharknado 2: The Search For Curly’s Gold.” “Sharknado 2: Electric Boogaloo.” Okay, I like that one. 🙂 ---

From Brian Williams NBC Evening News \> Sharkenado. Cool. Spent most every day last week snorkling in the tropics. Thank goodness it wasn’t on then. My daughter and I both could have screamed like little girls every time something bumped us. ---

It was the best of films, it was the worst of films. My favorite part? When Our Hero throws away his humungous crowbar saying it’s useless, then moments later is briefly stymied by a locked door. ---

Suffice it to say he does NOT share my enthusiasm for really bad sci fi flicks. 😃 Not sure if **Scubaqueen** was referring to me or the other Divemaster that’s on the boards, but just in case… :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I was made aware of this thread a week ago and didn’t bother to ‘check out’ Sharknado at the time. A little while ago I was doing some ‘channel surfing’ and saw that the aforementioned was on. There were only a few minutes left till the end of the movie so I tuned it in just to see what all of the ‘fuss’ was about. _ **OH - MY - OG !** _ :eek: Without a doubt, THE. CHEESIEST. MOVIE. EVER. MADE. YMMV ---

Oh, and one more thing… The ‘chainsaw’ scene made the waste of time that I spent watching, _ **totally** _ worthwhile. 😛 ---

I missed that it was being shown tonight in advance, but happened to stumble on it for the last hour. Probably good since I tuned in before the first Sharknado hit. It was awesome, but there was one bit that I have a nit pick about. There was a scene at the retirement home and there is a guy in a wheel chair wearing a hospital gown. Come on, they don’t wear those in retirement homes! This really kind of took me out of the moment. Everything else was great! ---

Finally saw this last night. Unbelievably horribly awesome. At least three Jaws references I saw - When they got chased out of the bar by flying sharks, the Australian guy shoved some kind of compressed gas tank into a shark’s mouth, then shotgun girl shot it, blowing up the shark. The aforementioned “We’re gonna need a bigger helicopter” line. Shotgun girl’s story about how she got her scar, ending with “6 people went into the water, one little girl came out, sharks took the rest.” During last night’s broadcast, they kept displaying tweets on screen, some from celebrities - Elizabeth Banks (“Write me a part in want to be in the sequel”) Patton Oswalt (“Close Hollywood, all future movies are pointless now”) BJ Novak (“I’m worried people won’t be ready when the real Sharknado arrives.”). Were those in the original broadcast? When Ian Ziering gave Tara Reid the hedge trimmer, I thought he was subtly trying to kill her off by giving her such a useless weapon. My favorite part though, was when Fin was shooting sharks out of the air, and they’d fall as he shot them - implying they were actually flying under their own power, and not just caught in the tornado.
