none needed

I recently discovered that most of my friends have no idea who Jason Momoa is. This was akin to them telling me they believe the earth is flat. All I could do was sputter and stare at them. And then show them a google image search, so they would no longer have to suffer in ignorance.

Chris Hemsworth as Kevin

I still have no idea what a zaddy is....

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon is one of my favorite movies. It’s so wonderful in its awfulness. Bad graphics, bad plot, bad dubbing, bad acting, bad sexist humor...but the wonderful JOHN BARROWMAN.

Avalanche Sharks and Sand Sharks are also both very very good movies. I say this as a connoisseur of fine shark movies.

I agree!

When I saw this trailer in theaters, I thought three things, in this order: 1) Poor sharks, this is not going to help their undeserved reputation. 2) I cannot see this movie, because it will make me afraid of diving—not because of the sharks, but because if you suddenly sank to 47 m, the sharks would be the least of…

As a strictly factual matter of who preys upon who, this .gif is more accurate than anything Hollywood has ever produced:

Not entirely. Humans have historically not been a part of a shark’s diet. Most sharks east fish and small invertebrates; it is only the larger species that eat seals and larger prey. Only about a dozen of the over 300 different shark species have been involved in attacks on humans and almost all of those are…

Lol Deep Blue Sea is one of my favorite “don’t mess with nature” movies. It was cheesy as all hell, and if I am correct, they subverted the “last girl trope” with Saffron Burrows (although they played into a different trope when she sacrifices herself).

Yeah, but there’s a difference between that and, say, The Shallows, in which a shark has a whole whale to snack on, but continues to stalk 90-pound Blake Lively.

In all seriousness, Quint’s monologue about the USS Indianapolis from Jaws. It might be the greatest monologue on film ever. Certainly my favorite.

I think it’s funny that the, rightly derided Jaws rip-off, Orca is actually far more scientifically plausible. A whale could form a grudge and stalk you. It probably won’t but it could. And they are incredibley effective predators.

ABSOLUTELY.

Liz over at And You Call Yourself A Scientist! has a fabulous review of Jaws 3-D (yes, it was in 3D!) where she not only reams out the depiction of the shark from every possible angle, she is righteously furious over how the female scientist is treated/acts about getting the job of a friggin’ lifetime. It’s great!

I love that movie. Every shark movie should feature a parrot.

I watched one of those horribly cheesy SyFy movie...Mega-shark or something and it had one extremely redeeming quality. The guy got a pressurized tank in the shark’s mouth and then shot at it. Nothing happened and the guy next to him said, “What did you think was going to happen?”

I take it by the lack of mentioning Sharknado that means Sharknado’s are real and we should be terrified of them.

How could you leave out one of the cheesiest shark movies of all time, Deep Blue Sea? Besides featuring sharks that know how to swim backwards, it has the 2nd greatest monologue ever delivered in a shark movie.
