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.

Yes, I will watch any movie that has sharks. I can hardly wait to see Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus with Deborah Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas (who has already starred in a lame shark movie or two).

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.

They are beyond terrible yet I couldn't turn either of them off.
