Way OT: "Sharknado" Warning, in effect until 9 pm Thursday
I just had to share this for those (like myself) that missed the premiere several nights ago: The greatest animal story ever (since the days of Gerg's inspirational sideline use of a stuffed animal, anyway) will be repeated Thursday evening on SyFy Channel from 7-9 pm. Set your DVRs now; beware of ALL Tornado Warnings later!
(edit: fixed the title, inspired by a suggestion from FannMan)
Not since Notre Dame football 1989-2011 has such a steaming pile of poo garnered so much unwarranted attention.
If Charlie Weis would have been taken up in a massive twister and deposited on top of Tara Reid, I'd have watched.
Can someone explain what Sharknado is? I just read the column Brian linked to in mgolicious, but I'm still not sure what it is - is it a movie? More than a movie? Was it planned as a social media event, or did it just catch fire on social media? As someone who doesn't have cable, I have not yet seen this film...
It's a terrible film. Even the actors and actresses in it knew it was bad. It's one of those films that is so bad that it's actually somewhat interesting to watch.
EDIT:
This is blasphemous. Sharknado is the best thing to happen to the scifi genre since Star Wars.
...and someone must answer. This .gif has potential.
...but his facial expressions make him the perfect leading man for any sequel!
(Thanks for posting that, Leaders and Best, I laughed to the point of tears watching it!)
It is an amazing film and I am offended to share the same virtual space with someone who does not recognize that.
Accuweather has shown that a Sharknado can't really happen.
It's a documentary about the coming sharpocalypse. Or perhaps the coming Apocashark. Whatever.
Point is, if you ignore the footage of the brave documentarians who risked life and limb to bring you Sharknado then you deserve whatever fate befalls you. Don't come crying to the board when you're at the Wendy's drive-thru during a storm and a hammerhead falls from the sky and bites your arm off. You've been warned.
One does not simply add a "2" at the end of the title "Sharknado" and deem that a fitting title. It requires more creativity.
Acceptable titles:
Sharknado: The Re-Sharkening
Sharknado 2: Electric Boogaloo
2harknado
It's also acceptable to title the second installment in the Sharknado opus after another natural disaster. Such as:
Sharkicane
Sharkano
Sharquake
Kim Sharkashian
Sharknado 2: Jumping the Sharknado
I can't take credit, but I did see the following:
Sharknado 2: Aftersharks
I can't top that but being as it's going to be in NYC, maybe:
Sharknado 2: Sharks in the City?
I like the first one, that's pretty funny.
One I saw elsewhere is Sharknado 2: 2Shark 2Nado.
2 Sharks, 1 Nado?
2 Shark 2 Nado
From the title of your post I assumed that it was real alert, like a tornado watch. I went out and bought this chainsaw and a pair of Gallon's rocket boots so I would be prepared.
Maybe next time.
FIFY
THe NYT had some stats on the popularity of the first Sharknado (HERE):
"This willfully lowbrow B-movie generated about 387,000 online comments from its broadcast and was especially popular on Twitter, which reported a peak of about 5,000 mentions per minute of the film. Even so, “Sharknado” was watched by about 1.37 million viewers, not much more than the audience that tunes in to Syfy on a given Thursday night."
I assume that if the second one does indeed take place in New York, any tornado that comes off Long Island Sound or thearabouts will contain a fair amount of crab and shrimp as well. This could be a delicious tornado.
My question is how many people will watch tomorrow night. I'm DVRing it and hoping for the best...
As a result of Sharknado, a guy I work with and I went through all the SyFy films to see what some of the funniest titles are. There next feature will be Ghost Shark (or something like that and yes I'm serious). It will be hard to top Sharktopus and Sharknado though.

SharkNardo!
that it was AWESOME. Seriously. I watched Sharknado with a couple of girls the other night, and even they were laughing hard at how cheezy the movie was.
