My current shark movie holy grail is the Bollywood production Aataank - a Jaws ripoff complete with romance and musical numbers. It's all but impossible to come by, but there are a few tasty clips on YouTube.

And now, I have to take back my next to last post - I was thinking of Spring Break Shark Attack. i've actually never seen or heard of Malibu Shark Attack. Sheesh, another bad shark movie I need to go find.

Wow, that is BAD.

If you go diving off the coast of Australia I hear they have queef sharts.

I'll make sure you get to see one, Moonie. ;)

Here Sharky Sharky Sharky!!!!!


Wonder if it is one of the ones that the MB Aquarium had. They kept them in a pen off Malibu for awhile before bringing them to the aquarium.

Flippy - The shark octopus movie looks horrible. Have you read the Meg series? I believe our own 3894 got me hooked on them. Campy awful fun. There are 4 books in the series.

Here you go:

I hope you get SyFy....

I have read the first three - Honestly, I was stunned by how awful the first book was, but it was a really entertaining kind of awful. (Steve Alten seems to agree - he rewrote the first book for subsequent publication. I haven't read this revised version yet.) The Trench was just deadly dull to me, but that didn't stop me from reading the third book, Primal Waters, which I enjoyed a lot more, in spite of its breathless present tense narrative device. So, guilty pleasures indeed, and I will get around to Hell's Aquarium soon. I'm not proud. That said, I would be first in line if they really made a big budget MEG movie - an event that seems to get less and less likely all the time.

I enjoyed Judah Friedlander's live-tweeting of Malibu Shark Attack.

That's a Not Afraid quality typo!


I'll never forget my first shart attack.
