Movie night!
Aug. 14th, 2009 07:13 amAllow me to put your doubts to rest. Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus is exactly the movie you think it is. Terrible? Yes. Fucking awesome? Double yes. Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson star in a small-budget disaster movie that manages to encompass global warming, seekrit Navy shenanigans, evil Japanese corporations and, yes, love, all while telling the story of a mega shark and a giant octopus... and their dream. The defining moment in the film is right on the damned box cover; A shark the size of an aircraft carrier has leapt from the ocean, gnashed its teeth and bit a jumbo jet in half. If you're looking for context, there is none. The shark just thought the integrity of the film demanded it.
The movie made the perfect adjunct to a night of feeding my friends. We all had a great time. Bonus points for getting James & Beca hooked on Castle Crashers.
The evening ended, as is becoming typical, with me and Nick watching something especially strange. Last night it was - *ahem* - Tokyo Gore Police. ...I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be art. So the only problem is, now if I say I don't watch movies like Tokyo Gore Police, I'm perjuring myself. I can see that coming up, say on a loan application, or a job interview.
