Sharktopus Will Devour Us All

I can't stop thinking about Sharktopus. This sucka's in my dreams, man (which is odd, because the above design is also by Matt Leach).

Roger Corman, championed director of the straight-to-SciFi-Channel B-movies, is directing this movie. If there's nothing better than SciFi--ahem, sorry, SyFy--Channel movies, it's science fiction B-movies.

Honestly, why can't all science fiction movies be made as B-movies? I would enjoy them so much more.

Also keep your eye out for Dinoshark. Which looks almost as cool as Sharktopus. But ultimately tentacles always prevail.

I don't exactly know why I like poorly made science fiction/horror movies so much. But they feel very closely related to drunk stories. Think about it: both are told with so much gusto and inflated emotions that ultimately fail because the integrity of the surroundings are lackluster. Just as the authenticity falls short in a drunk story because, well, you were drunk, B-movies fall short because, well, you can see right through those silly special effects and set design.

But I love me some drunk stories, because I find that failure hilarious. Which I suppose is about the same reason why I love B-movies.

I love you, Sharktopus. I love you...
