I just watched Sharknado 2 with my dad. Never saw the first one so I felt out of the loop.

The last 40 minutes is pretty painful.

Something about Mark McGrath makes me angry at the world.

wow! thats kind of impressive. Thats not the image of Russia I would expect to find in America. Not only is it positive, but void of the uncoolness(?) they always jam in to anything Russian, like all that ancient, churchy tzarist shit.

because it's not for the american market

American's a rude, ignorant little pricks, aren't they?!

 

[MrX]

yes Muddy it's not top notch but it's very doable. We never got into Lost.

Duchovny's getting some heat for this right now because it's Russia but this commercial is ata, imo.

Nice! I can't believe I got to see Duchovny as a russian hockey player.

It brings reno's avatar full-circle.

Sharknado. I dunno. I watched the first half hour or so. Feeling minimal motivation to get back to it.

Not sure why. It's obviously not good good. As far as so-bad-it's-good value - which is the vibe I get that most people see in it - I was expecting more. A friend of mine complained that so-bad-it's-good only works when they aren't obviously doing it on purpose - which he feels Sharknado is doing. I get his point and I think I agree with it in general - but I didn't get a strong feeling for what Sharknado is doing.

It's just kinda laying there for me.

I may not be a Sharknado guy.

I don't see why they would do a third one. Hopefully its just forgotten forever in a few months.

Hopefully you guys didn't forget to get sloshed before watching that garbage.

alright googled it because of you faggots. 82% rotten tomatoes really? Also I see Steve from 90210 is in it and seeing him guesomely murdered could be a good thing.

We might try a Sharknado.

Do not trust that RT rating. It's going to be the worst movie you've ever seen, in a good way. Provided that you start drinking 2 full hours before putting the movie on.

Sounds about right dling, appreciate the insight. Man, this feels right up Breadly's alley. RIP that crusty fuck.

This looks incredibly stupid. I think Matty's method to "enjoying" this flick will be implemented.

 

[Mudcat]

I guess people here know me well enough to know I wasn't sloshed watching it.

Big picture, I have never been a big so-bad-it's-good fan. Someone like Bread, it's as big a category as just liking good good movies. Me, something has to be really special-bad to grab me on that level.

Very, very seldom comes along.

 

[MrX]

I generally agree with Muddy's friend on the self-aware so-bad-it's-good movie problem. Generally, self-awareness ruins it.

I make an exception for Megashark vs Giant Octopus, which I find extremely enjoyable, and which always provides an excuse to post this:

i havent watched 1 or 2 ... but their goal was to make a movie so ridiculously bad, that its entertaining... i must have listened to 4 hours about it on howard stern this week

 

[Cami]

I don't really get why you would want to make something so bad...it's "entertaining". Shit like that just annoys me. Like A lot.
