Film of the decade? :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Brofellos on July 12, 2013, 07:00:31 AM I think this was on last night and I missed it...so sad.

Well it will be on another 6 times this weekend. :oh_i_see: Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Sky on July 12, 2013, 07:45:52 AM I threatened the old lady with this several times so I could watch what I wanted to.
"Well, we could watch this....or SHARKNADO!" Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: luckton on July 12, 2013, 07:59:40 AM And just when I thought SyFy was running bout of original ideas...
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Ruvaldt on July 12, 2013, 08:51:03 AM SyFy often has little to nothing to do with these. The Asylum and other production houses make them and Syfy just pays them to broadcast it/slap a SyFy Originals label on them.
If you like movies like these you should also see Mega Piranha, Sharktopus and the legendary Birdemic: Shock and Terror, among others. Rifftrax recorded a hillarious riff track for Birdemic, and also performed it live. I think you can pick up copies of that live performance as well. I saw it when it was broadcast to a local cinema and I laughed so hard I was sore the next day. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Margalis on July 12, 2013, 11:08:40 AM I like how it's suddenly cool to like awful SyFy movies. I've been watching awful SyFy movies for years!
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Sir T on July 12, 2013, 01:18:50 PM The Asylum did a "Sherlock Homes" movie that actually fairly watchable, and every bit as daft as the big budget one.

This was the single most awful movie ever put to film. It was an insult not just to the collective intelligence of the entire human race throughout time, it was an insult to anyone that has ever put together a film, play or television show. There was not even the pretense of an attempt at craft. The simplest task such as matching the light in shots from the same scene was apparently beyond this team. The story was even worse than one might think from a title that is this insanely idiotic. It doesn't even work on the level of camp because they couldn't even get camp right. It is so horrifically awful and yet I could not look away. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Zetor on July 13, 2013, 02:14:25 AM SyFy often has little to nothing to do with these.

This thread is definitely giving me some good ideas about what to watch during our next bad-movie-a-thon :heart: Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Numtini on July 13, 2013, 06:02:52 AM You have got to be kidding. One showing? No repeats? No on demand?
Our lives are ruined. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Pennilenko on July 13, 2013, 06:38:00 AM I like how it's suddenly cool to like awful SyFy movies. I've been watching awful SyFy movies for years!

Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Sir T on July 13, 2013, 11:30:33 AM Another must see movie for connoisseurs of Bad is Komodo Vs Cobra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI_r67-InmQ), which is actually fairly watchable for a totally shit movie. The girls certainly don't hurt.
Anything by the Asylum is generally utter shit (with a few exceptions like the Sherlock Holmes movie above) But if you want scrape the bottom of the barrel shit curdling awful then there is only one movie that can be mentioned. A movie so awful that the mere mention of the Title will invoke images of the true avalanche of crap that awaits you. Yes, your next stop at the video store is Titanic 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f720MNvOeVc) Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Zetor on July 13, 2013, 12:41:25 PM Can I mention Troma movies here, or does that count as cheating? If not, then Surf Nazis Must Die (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8LV1S2q2GA). You know you want to watch it.
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Margalis on July 13, 2013, 03:03:04 PM Is it sad that I knew the director and two of the actresses in Komodo vs Cobra without looking it up?
Unfortunately over the past couple years SyFy has gone more towards boring-as-shit natural disaster movies and away from awesome stuff like Frankenfish and Mansquito. (Also they run fewer "original" movies in general) Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Ingmar on July 14, 2013, 10:52:44 PM As a gourmand of shit movies, I had to watch this. It did not disappoint.

Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Ruvaldt on July 15, 2013, 06:15:56 AM Yeah, Birdemic is easily the most shoddily made movie I've ever seen. Also, it has the benefit of being made by someone who was serious about the movie. It isn't bad on purpose like a lot of the SyFy/Asylum movies. James Nguyen is just sublimely disconnected from reality.
The Room is another terrible mess of a movie. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: HaemishM on July 15, 2013, 09:03:15 AM Oh dear fucking God (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE5dJDgZ644).
You may be right. I must watch Birdemic. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Nevermore on July 15, 2013, 09:47:58 AM I've seen student films better than that trailer. :ye_gods:
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Merusk on July 15, 2013, 09:54:02 AM Holy crap... why.
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Ruvaldt on July 15, 2013, 10:00:27 AM It's on Netflix so it's easily accessible.
Also, I can't recommend the Rifftrax highly enough. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Zetor on July 15, 2013, 10:07:24 AM How about the 2013 sequel Birdemic 2: The Resurrection? It's rated 0.2 higher on IMDB! :why_so_serious:
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: IainC on July 15, 2013, 12:06:57 PM I like that they made the birds look especially crap so that the main dude's acting wouldn't be the worst thing in the movie.
Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Margalis on July 15, 2013, 12:13:15 PM Oh dear fucking God (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE5dJDgZ644). You can tell the guy is terrible actor just in the 2 second clip where he walks in and says "hi." Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Ingmar on July 16, 2013, 11:55:10 AM Birdemic is basically the modern Manos: Hands of Fate, it's kind of what I would expect would have happened with that film if the guy making it had access to the Internet, technology, etc.
Also they totally shot a bunch of the business scenes in a building where I've taken IT training classes, which was kind of weird. Title: Re: SHARKNADO Post by: Brennik on July 17, 2013, 03:04:38 AM Some nice posters for sequel ideas on imgur (http://imgur.com/gallery/gjQng)
