Sharknado 3 is on!! Woo!!

Click!

That was pretty much my entire family’s response. But I got to see a guy say ‘sharkicane’ with a straight face!

Thanks to social media I got to watch part of this masterpiece along with some of my high school friends who are scattered across the east coast. Admittedly I missed the first two installations of the Sharknado trilogy (as well as the beginning and ending of this Oh Hell No chapter), but I feel like I still managed to follow the events.

But ... it is hilarious !!!!

The first one had the tag line Enough Said which was, quite literally, the only true statement made about the whole movie. The second had three tag lines: Aftersharks (really?), The Second One, and Shark Happens (ugh). For the third (and hopefully final) part of our ongoing national nightmare I think the producers have finally hit the nail on the head.

Oh Hell No!

Watching Bullet to the Head.

Pretty good film. It doesn't pull it's punches while not going over the top, Stallone can actually be understood, and the cop/hitman thing's done pretty well. A little predictable, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been.

Funnily enough today I was in a public aquarium during a tornado warning and had to stay until it passed. When the power went out I was standing right next to the huge tank with the big sharks in it. A lot of the kids were worried that the sharks would come out of the tank somehow. I was inwardly palming my face over the timing while I calmed them down.

My biggest worry was for my car out in the parking lot under all of those big trees. (Everything turned out all right. I drove through some high water to get back to the bridge, but there was no drama. A lot of other people drove through it, too.)

I saw the first Sharknado. It was so bad, it was hilarious. I don't watch comedies because I never laugh during them. That I laughed at.

Grits, just be thankful that there were not any zombies in that tornado!

Edit: I am now watching Sharknado 2. Sharks on a Mother***ing Plane!

That picture isn’t far off what happened! (I admit we didn’t actually fend off any street sharks. ) Here’s a photo from a news story about the storm. That’s the intersection by the bridge in the picture. We drove right past the news peoples’ little car. The water was still rising at that point, so I hope they planned to stay there overnight!

If I ever watch a zombie movie and then need to find shelter, I am going to run right past all of the mausoleums!

With spoofs I think they can only be good if they have real affection for the original genre. That’s what I liked about the Sharknado experience. It dives right into disaster flick ridiculousness with a big grin.

The Girl and I started a Firefly marathon. I need to wake her up so we can watch some more. I love that show.

Now we can be friends again.

The Malcolm Reynolds negotiation seminar!

Love Firefly!!

Well, in "Aftersharks," they obviously confused earthquakes with tornadoes, and were going for the "Aftershock" - even that error in itself is hilarious! And who couldn't enjoy seeing Amanda Bynes in anything? I've loved her since the Amanda Bynes Show!

(Although seeing her now brings a touch of sadness, bless her heart - but I still love seeing her in films despite what is going on with her mentally).







There is the plot for the next one = tornado at Sea World sucks up the Great White Sharks and the Orca Whale ... wait ...

Here is the picture, all we have to do is draw winds swirling around them:

I have had that pic so long I cannot remember where I found it.

I did a little searching, and found a few other good ones:

I'll Catch You

PS3

I'll Get You Out

Wave Goodbye

Kayaking

Marco Polo

Some of these pictures had me yelling out, "HOLY SHEEEEEEET!!!!!!" (miss-spelled, not misspoken, lol).


These aught to send Destri running to watch Sharknado, lol.

(But I have to admit that 'Wave goodbye' made me laugh!)


How did this not make it into Sharknado?

I think I hurt myself.


That’s a still from the upcoming Sharknado 4: Blast from the Past.

Oh! I watched a movie on Friday. A friend wanted to see Pixels. I hadn’t heard of it or seen a trailer, but it was pretty much exactly what the poster outside the theater suggested.

Just watched Resident Evil: Retribution, and I'm gonna have a little fun with this one

[Dramatic movie advertising voice]

Watch! As Mila Jovovich continues to careen down the slippery slope that this franchise has somehow still yet to reach the bottom of.

Groan! As the unexplained villain from the previous movie returns, having somehow survived his own death in a nuclear explosion, but this time as a good guy?

Scratch your head in bemusement! As you spend the entire film asking question like: How is he alive? Why isn't Alice even remotely surprised by this fact, and most importantly: How did the writers think they could just gloss over all of that.

Shake your head in dismay! As Alice becomes massively attached to a clone girl for no reason than to pad out the film, at a car chase sequence that involves a Rolls Royce with spinners, and the return of the weird heart thing from the previous film that still hasn't really been explained.

Laugh! At the ever more obvious desperation of the writers, as they mindlessly hurl characters from the previous films at you in a tragic attempt to provoke nostalgia for the days when they could actually make a good film, and at the pathetic attempt to justify the ridiculous bridge to a plot that defies comprehension.

And finally, switch off in disgust and swear off the whole franchise! At the discovery that the last two films have been about nothing more than setting up what is basically a biologically based ripoff of Terminator as Skynet The Red Queen (The AI from the first film) and her army of machines zombie things embark on an unexplained and farcical mission to eradicate all life on Earth. By... Replacing them with dead things that are still wandering around?

And to be honest, I still think I'm being generous here. I mean, I could keep going in this theme for some time. IF you ever wanted to see what a plot would look like if it was constructed entirely from plotholes, then this is a movie you need to watch. Otherwise, avoid it like it's a mutant zombie.

I gave up after the fourth Resident Good Evil movie. I enjoyed the first one, found the second one the be mind-numblingly bad, and absolutely loved the third one. They really hit their stride there, but made the mistake of making Alice too ridiculously over-powered. The fourth movie was just a letdown after that, and I never had the gumption to give another one a try. Well, except for the animated movies like RE: Degeneration. But those are a completely different narrative/world from the live-action films.

Recently started yet another attempt to run through Babylon 5...

The previous two failed at different stages, but hopefully this one'll stick...*Sigh*...Loved that series back in the day...

Went to see the new Pixar film, Inside Out at the weekend...I've never had a Pixar film fail in such a big way...I get the idea...I understand the thoughts behind what it was trying to do...

Unfortunately it spent so long pissing me off that the film was ruined before it got to the payoff and, sadly, I came out lamenting the waste of my time...

Really is the first Pixar film I've seen that I haven't enjoyed...(I haven't seen Bugs Life or Ratatouille...Because reasons...But this Inside Out looked good...)...

Shame really...

Hello old friend.

Ahhh, Babylon 5. Nothing's the same anymore...
