Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus

Deborah Gibson, Lorenzo Lamas (2009) A battle between two prehistoric sea creatures endangers the California coast.

Syfy Saturday movie from 8/29.

In case you were wondering, this movie is proof that whales explode when they run into glaciers. FYI.

Also, I should probably mention that this is one of those "The Asylum" movies. So we all know it's gonna be awesome.

Uh... what the hell... a giant shark just ate a 747. At altitude...

In other news, The Asylum doesn't know the difference between a destroyer and a battleship. And they just showed the giant shark closing on the "destroyer" from the side. And yet the ship's main guns are firing directly forwards. No change of angle, no elevation.

And now (approximately 1 hour later) the giant shark just ate a battleship. Or, bit a battleship in half, to be more accurate. And now it took a huge chunk out of the Golden Gate Bridge. And then they lost it on their scopes. Honestly, how hard can it be to find a shark that utterly out-sizes a battleship inside San Francisco Bay? Since their amazing plan seemed to be to lure the shark into the Bay, and then do something about it, it would seem that they should be prepared for that eventuality. But, then you'd be far too optimistic. After all we've still got a half an hour of movie left.

And then about 18 hours later, the movie's finally done.... It ended somehow. And I don't know or care why or how.

Where was the Giant Octopus?

It didn't do anything interesting. So therefore I don't care about it.

Damn. I was hoping it would be super cool.

Sadly, the shark was more interesting. In that it ate things. In generally hilarious fashion. And the octopus didn't.

Oh. Well that's so boring.
