...a drinking game.

One shot of cheap vodka in, and I know that I should have had more than that already.

OMFG, this one's a real piece of dried sharktopus dung.

This kind of crap from SyFy is indefensible. Really it is. It would be one thing if movies such as this were sincere in their schlocky-ness, but they're not. They're intentionally made to be as bad as possible. It's one thing to have a small budget to work with ala Roger Corman where you'd get a fairly crappy product but SyFy takes it a step further and tries to parody crappiness. No good can come from this as evinced by Sharknado, a few minutes of which I caught. To say it was beyond redemption is a kindness. It was so bad it leaves one speechless. And anyone acting in it should be on death row.

Are the syfy slock movies considered high-brow compared to reality shows? This why syfy makes them?

I got pretty drunk last night, by the time the movie was over -- and that was after not necessarily tossing back a shot after EVERY issue in the thing.

It was watched by 1.37 million viewers that's like how much #1 most watched tv shows in Australia gets . This looks so bad like seriously

OMG, I just watched Sharknado 2, and it was hilarious! These movies are intentionally campy and funny. :) I thought they were supposed to be serious, but just crappy...they are like a cross between Jaws and Airplane. Comedy to be sure, and with just enough gore and silly campy lighthearted humor that they are perfect popcorn movies (at home). They make you laugh, cringe, and roll your eyes and they are a lot of fun.

THEY are a lot of fun? Yep. :) After I watched Sharknado 2, I went and downloaded Sharknado 1, which is not as good as the second one but still funny as hell and setting the tone for these films.

There is a Sharknado 3 coming! If you just want fun and camp, in the vein of Airplane, Scary Movie and Saturday Night Live, you will like these. :) Rock and Roll soundtrack, funny dialogue and over the top characters on top of this utterly implausible premise makes for a fun hour and a half for each movie.

Piranhado! I wanna see a swarm of flying piranhas.

Hippopotamado! Actually, that would be kind of boring. Flying hippos slamming into buildings and cars and people would seem kind of redundant in a tornado movie.
