Sharknado

Okay.  I was busy.  I don't know what else I was doing, but for some reason, I was occupied with other things when SyFy channel's Sharknado premiered.  From the description of what I missed, it would appear that I need to rethink my priorities.

    There's an interview with the writer of this epic here:  http://io9.com/we-asked-the-writer-of-sharknado-some-very-serious-ques-736131336
     
    I love the fact that the SyFy folks called him up and asked him to write the movie based upon the title, which he initially thought was SharkNato.  I think he's just given them an idea for a spinoff.

    One of the many things that cracks me up about this is how convinced some people are that they should be concerned about real tornados raining down sharks upon an unsuspecting populace.  That's obviously impossible
     
    Thanks to this movie, we'll be expecting it.

    Yea, I thought it might be about our sharks stopping those pesky ruskies from invading western Europe.  Shark tank - the real deal.
     
    But still, flying sharks landing on LAians is a pretty good concept.  My wife sat through it playing iSoliatire and muttering "this is the dumbest movie ever."  At the commercials I flipped to "Jason and the Argonaughts" (the original Harryhaussen one).  Interesting contrast.  I'd like to see the falling sharks take on the skeletons.

    I get that response with a number of movies I select.  When she feels I've lowered my IQ about as far as we can measure, she'll seize the remote and put an end to her misery.

     This whole thing makes me think maybe I would have a chance at making a movie.
     
     How did the producer get the sale to the studio? " Hey I need a million dollars to make a movie about sharks who are randomly vaccumed out of the ocean and deposited on unsuspecting people.We have one really hot scene where a great white goes right through a Toyota and eats the occupants on the way through, kind of like a mixed human stacker sub. We have another clip of Mrs. Mable sitting at the hair dresser...."
     
     Goodness gracious....why wouldn't they snap that up? :)

    I just saw a teaser on TV. I didn't know that you were making movies.
     
    It is too bad that Drive-in Theaters went out of style... this movie would be perfect for the Drive-in circuit. There are a few around but not enough... Of course they could get inflatable remote control sharks and fly them around the Drive-in at the appropriate moment or fly over and drop styrofoam sharks... what fun.
     
    I think I will skip this one. I will wait for the catsanddogsnado... we have those now and then.

    Well, if they were Zombie Sharks it would be more believable.

    At least, it should be.  I would watch that one.

    I didn't see the promo commercials for it, just the poster. I couldn't watch it.....I just couldn't. It's not the sharks, I'm really not scared of being eaten....and it's not the tornado's either. I was born in Kansas. Kind of a been there, done that deal. But that freakin Ferris Wheel is horrifying. You get carnival rides, and then you've gotta deal with "carnies" too. Nope, not gonna watch the sequel either.

    There was a scene in the preview where a guy apparrantly saws a flying shark in two with a chainsaw... LOL... that might make it worth seeing. I think there might be a "shark shoot" scene too, sort of like a dove shoot but the dove have teeth.
     

    ... So... where are the sharks?
