Not news to anyone I guess  :wink: but this is movie related.

I was wondering why the new movie The Meg is called that, until I realized that it's short for 'megalodon'.

Jason Statham would be doing a facepalm right now.  :wink:

Going to see that one tomorrow. You should catch it before Indy can since it involves a shark from the era of dinosaurs, and if they do the sequel books into movies, they have dinosaurs in them too. Maybe they will do a Jurassic World / Meg crossover movie?

Actually, it's about this:

Original post
That was my first thought, or along those lines.......
Probably had to call it that, because there's already one or two b movies out there called Megalodon.

An interesting history to this film. An idea that has been kicked around Hollywood since Steve Alten's book Meg was published in 1996. Made for $130,000,000 it has already earned back the cost it took to make it, since it is doing twice the box office overseas that it is doing here in the U.S. Of course, wouldn't you know that Asylum Films hopped on the bandwagon, coming out with its own film Megalodon. No idea how much their version cost to make. Though, it is likely much less than $130,000,000.

I plan to see a film this weekend. Not this one, but Alpha the story of a boy and his wolf, during the last Ice Age. Of course, I'll post my thoughts on it, here, after I've seen it.
