So…Stuff I Found on the Internet Week? Maybe. I’ve got to start planning this stuff better. Anyway, yes, I *would* watch a SyFy movie about this.

    BEARSHARK? Entirely possible, suprised it ain’t happened by now.

  • SteveWD

    After the pure stupid I saw last night on SyFy called ‘Ghost Shark’ – I’m ready to go with anything.

    I suppose its favorite food is Fur-Bearing Trout ?

  • Gamera977

    Yow! And I thought D&D’s Owlbear was silly!

  • bgbear_rnh

    in fact shouldn’t a great white shark be crossed with a polar bear?

  • Ken_Begg

    Or Two-Headed Shark. That was a thing, right?

  • Gamera977

    Unless it’s a Makobear!

    Does look like a Great White though…

  • Rock Baker

    Uhhh…..

  • SteveWD

    Pretty sure, haven’t seen it. Seems like Shark + ‘whatever’ or ‘whatever’ + Shark equals SyFy gold.

  • SteveWD

    How about Grizzly Shark?…..Shrizzly?……Grark? I like Grark. It could be GRARK!!! in big scary letters.

  • SteveWD

    Somebody has probably already thought of it but how about ‘Sharkageddon’? A comet smashes into Jupiter’s moon Europa releasing alien sharks from it’s subglacial ocean. The alien sharks then proceed on a collision course with Earth where much terror and stupidity ensue.

    Copyright it, copy right it now!

    A-ha!
    A huge ice ball thunders through the solar system. It melts as it falls through the atmosphere,and unleashes… ALIEN SHARKRAIN! World wide pandamonium dude!
    Make the alien sharks amphibious and it’s gold!

    At first glance I thought this WAS something we’d soon be seeing in a SyFy movie.

    SyFy or Asylum exec. or whoever pays for these things – “You’ve got Tiffany or Debbie Gibson, an ex Brady Bunch cast member, 80000 dollars, 2 weeks, and unlimited access to a mid-range desktop with Photoshop installed……make it happen!!”

    Yes, it is a thing. As far as Siffy movies go, it was pretty fun. Jerry O’Connell and Carmen Electra just kind of breezed through and got their paycheck; everyone else could not act, particularly Brooke Hogan, who they need to stop putting in these things. Still, the mayhem was plentiful, with a fairly even mix of CG and a great, rubbery prop shark into whose mouths they kept putting people to thrash around and scream. Probably more CG overall, but still enough prop shark to make me happy. They even gave sensible reasons for how the characters got stranded, and why they didn’t just stay out of the water (part of their dilemma was even an homage to Attack of the Crab Monsters of all things!)

    I will caution that I may need to watch it again, to see if I was being too lenient on it; I watched it right after Sand Sharks, also “starring” Brooke Hogan. That one was terrible; the only remotely amusing parts were the explanation for said sharks and how they swam in sand, and Corin Nemec hamming it up a bit.

    I caught the opening of Ghost Shark, and haven’t finished it yet. What I saw was charmingly stupid: the explanation for the titular menace made me think of the book version of “Jaws: The Revenge”, the abilities I saw it display were rather hilarious, and they even gave a nice nod to the opening of Jaws by having someone get pulled around by an underwater rig. If it manages to keep up that level of dumb fun I think I’m going to enjoy it (which’ll make the news that they’re already working on a sequel more welcome, as well).

    I’m frankly surprised we haven’t already.

    Sharktopus vs. Bark! Shear? Whatever, I’d totally watch it. Asylum, get on this.
