Sharktopus. Really. I’m Not Kidding. And A Special Treat.
Just when I got comfortable thinking that Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus set the low water mark for entertainment, SyFy comes along and produces Sharktopus. (Thanks, Miss C. Thanks SO much 
.) I knew it was coming, but some small part of me held out hope that it would never see the light of day. No such luck.
Apparently Eric Roberts hasn't had much to do lately. My best info is that Sharktopus will grace our screens in September. I know I'll be watching.
Now, as if this wasn't enough, SyFy has also seen fit to give us Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. Here's a preview:
Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, based on the preview, seems like not much more than an opportunity to get 80's singers Debbie Gibson and Tiffany onto the screen at the same time. (Gibson, if you recall, was the female lead in Mega Shark.) If they can find a way to get a cameo by Kylie Minogue, they'd have a trifecta.
I'll probably watch this, too - I'm particularly impressed by its sharply written dialogue.
It's apparently going to grace us with its presence in 2011.
So many bad movies. So little time...

Did ScyFy actually make the Mega Python preview? I can’t tell if that’s someone else mocking ScyFy or a deliberate joke by them.

It’s on the SyFy page. IMDB has a listing for the film. As near as I can tell it’s the real deal.

He’s back! Reviews to come!
Did anyone else read “Gatoroid” as “Gatoraid”? I really must get new glasses.

“Gatoroid” sounds like something that you use really strong Preparation H on…
