So before we start this blog, you need to watch this trailer:
Now then, I don’t know about you but when I saw this I was like: “Holy fuck I’ve never seen a shark jump into a plane before.” I paused and thought to myself, “Well I have seen a shark hang onto batman while he climbed into a helicopter, but then he had bat shark repellent.” Well sharks we had a deal, Batman diplomat of the people said stay in the water, now we’re sending Giant Octopus after you.
“Jumped the shark” in my mind will never have the same meaning it had prior. Sorry Fonzi. Oh man Giant Sharks, Octopus’s and Renegade’s Lorenzo Lamas. He’s my favorite actor that’s name is pronounced the same as Llamas. I’m surprised Steven Segall had the strength to avoid the temptation his bargain basement counterpart could not. But wait, not enough star power for you? You’re saying even Snakes on a Plane had it’s Samuel Jackson? Well then friends, what more could you ask for than 80s singer song writer Debbie Gibson. In case you didn’t read Tuesday’s blog, I want you to know that I love me some bad film. This movie gave me bad movie chills. The above comic, is my childlike fantasy of being able to participate in a terrible creature feature.
Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus hit’s stores on May 26, 2009. If you pick this bad boy up, please come back to this thread and post your comments. As a terrible film enthusiast, I’d love to hear what you thought. For me, once I get my hands on the Dvd, there will most likely be some sort of Mystery Science Theater 3000 themed party in my home. I just need to find a bad enough movie to open for this sucker so we can get nice and warmed up. Also, if you haven’t heard of them yet, Mike Nelson from MST3K still does Riff Tracks for many modern movies that come out. Give the Spiderman 3 Riff Tracks a watch and you’ll want more I believe the other guest heckler is Lowtax of Something Awful fame. Guilty pleasures are important. Don’t lie to me. You know that car wreck watching part of you wants to know how bad this film is, and whether or not we get to see Debrah Gibson sideboob.

I’m insulted that you didn’t even think of me when you need a bad film for an opener sir. Plus, you have robot vs. aztec mummy that I personally gave you.
I was actually leaning that way.
This movie will redefine the meaning of awesome.
That seriously looks amazing lol, when are you gonna screen it? :-p
No one is safe from Mega Shark!
como estas, bitches
guess who just got a bit torrent of this movie?
Word on the heard is that it is firmly so bad its good.
This is effin hilarious. Big thumbs up for the Diggstown towel reference. That trailer is amazingly bad and you have to watch it over and over to assure you absorbed all the suck.
are you strictly a scifi bad movie guy or is it just because scifi movies are so easy to be bad? The one day I was going through the on demand list trying to watch movies and lauren kept saying things like why would you want to watch that? That movie looks so bad. But she doesn’t understand how the scale works it’s like
Awesome —- Good — Okay — Bad — Terrible —- Good —- Best Movie Ever Made
You should watch Torque.
Holy shark attack batman!
@ Rodney No, Sci Fi just has so many good choices. I also enjoy terrible kung fu movies, and just random shit that’s on cable. I’ve sat through Cruel Intentions 2 for example. I will add Torque to my Netflix.
you can watch a trailer for a shitty movie over and over…. you can draw a comic about a shitty trailer for a shitty movie. Yet, you can’t read the shitty screen play I personally wrote and sent to you??
Wait wait wait, it’s shitty? Now I’m in.
speaking of mst3k, I got to see cinematic titanic live in austin!
[...] White’s role in the terrible Lake Placid – to just plain niche – glad to know I’m not the only one looking forward to Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus in a “it looks so terrible” [...]
