Is this kinda like a photo bomb? A front page bomb? A forum buster bomb? What say the monkeys? Is this a not-so subtle stab at the oh-so important OT rants?
I was surprised it was a real movie, SciFi channel or not.

My favorite bits in Sharktopus was the bungi jumper, and when it walked on land on its tentacles!
Hope I didn't blow the storyline...

Stich - agreed Ed Wood was the shiz. We even named a route in the Southern Pickets: "Plan 9", complete with the "Bela Lugosi Traverse".
Yes, it will be bad, but originality trumps the regurgitated story at some point, right?

Picked up the boy's new La-Z-Boy and beer-mug yesterday. Count-down to shark-fest couch-potato has begun.
@Stitch.. These movies are indeed silly but fun in their way. I actually have a hard time watching more than 15 minutes of Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.... not because of the paper-thin plot, the badly animated monsters, or the terrible dialog... these are things I can endure. What I find truly unbearable is watching Deborah Gibson try to act. It takes B-movie actor to a whole new level. ;)

A couple of years ago I was scuba diving in the Coral Sea about 100 km off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
There was a large group of sharks swimming in circles on the reef (see photo below). I swam into the middle of this school, and the sharks parted around me, still swimming in circles... It was an AWESOME experience to be completely surrounded by sharks.
I took this photo just before I swam right into the middle of that school of sharks
These ain't nurse sharks, baby
Full story of my trip to the Coral Sea here (multiple pages).

Watched about 15 minutes of Sharktopus.
Is there anybody who actually likes Eric Roberts?
As for swimming with white tips; read up on the US Indianapolis,..

As some one that spends a lot of time in the food chain, I personally fail to see anything humorously entertaining about an encounter with "The Landlord"!

Alright, what is the verdict? Is Sharknado worthy?
We watched like 1-1/2 hours of it an were kind of "Meh."
At least Sharktopus was a killing hybrid that kept you entertained.
Sharknado was just about an event, and we got tired of the bad acting leading up to the "event".
4 out of 10.
