It's... it's beautiful!

Apparently it hit Skiffy (sci-fi) channel a few days, so did anyone catch it?  How gloriously bad was it?

Also, I'm not sure, but I do not think this is a very scientifically accurate movie.

I watched it. It was glorious. I'm probably going to see it again this weekend because my 10 year old wants to watch it too.  :teddyr:

From the review just mentioned...

If you're the type of person who nit-picks every continuity flaw or scientific inaccuracy in a movie, don't bother picking up Sharknado because the constant inconsistencies will give you an aneurysm. I'll admit that I did chuckle every time the characters ran from a dark & stormy backdrop to a bright and sunny one, and I also wondered how the sharks could keep sneaking up on people in water that appeared to be ankle deep. Also, why did it seem that sharks were the only aquatic creatures picked up by the storm and deposited into the city streets? What happened to all the whales, octopi, squids, swordfish, crabs, lobsters, etc.? (Maybe they're saving them for the sequel?).. I could go on, but you get the idea. As long as you're in on the joke, Sharknado will be a bloody good time and a fun ride. Don't expect Shakespeare, just nuke some popcorn, crack a few cold beers, turn off your brain, and enjoy pure B-Movie satisfaction.

FatFreddysCat...you summed up the mindset of this warm fuzzy bundle of neurosis called the B-Movie brigade...and I salute you.

Me too!  It is showing again at 7:00pm (check your local times) on the 18th of July and then on the 22nd of August at 7:00pm.  However, the movie is generating a lot of buzz, so we could get some extra showings.

That's why I love this forum. You guys 'n' gals "get" it!  :cheers:

I saw the final 5 minutes of it.  All I can say is, "ouch."

We just got DISH and I caught a good chunk of it....wow! This is the fun stuff. :wink:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

Hahaha, I will confess that I *might* have had that guy in mind (or at least, guys like him on message boards everywhere) when I wrote that bit...  :teddyr:

Definitely dug this one as well!  If anyone is interested, here's a link to a review I did:

Check out my movie reviews and articles at:  www.cinedump.com<br /><br />Or, don\\\'t check them out - see if I care.  You\\\'re not my real mom anyway.  Unless, you are.  In which case, whatever, I\\\'ll do what I want.  It\\\'s my hot body.  Y\\\'all don\\\'t know me.

Now all we have to do is wait for two-headed sharknado, or sharktopusnado!

I sat and cackled out loud from start to finish.  I think my favorite moment was the exploding swimming pool! :bouncegiggle:
