Yesterday prior to the Superbowl there was nothing on. So, I flipped over to the SyFy channel. It was a monster/disaster movie marathon. Movies that are so corny, poorly written, and poorly acted that they could never stand the chance of winning and Oscar.
One title caught my attention and I thought it would be fun to watch.."Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark"
It begins with a large iceberg being towed into Egypt, the iceberg shatters unleashing a prehistoric Megalodon shark. It goes on a rampage terrorizing the worlds oceans, it takes out fishing boats, an oil rig, a Navy ship and submarine, an air craft carrier, and even flies up to 30,000 feet to attempt to down a 747. However, never fear the government with help from the Navy creates a robotic copy: "Mecha Shark" to seek out megalodon and battle to the death. Piloted by a female operator( if you watch "stalker" Wed. on CBS- she plays the blond DA) Mecha Shark, is all computerized and voiced by "KITT" From "Night Rider" .
Well, I was half way through it when Senior came walking into the living room and sat next to me, After he asked "What in the heck are you watching" His critique of this fine cinematic production began.
First, it was the Admiral wearing SWO pins on his collar, then the crew of the aircraft carrier wearing the navy emblem on their ball caps. Then there was all the other countless uniform discrepancies, and inconsistencies on board the various navy ships.
Towards the end of the movie, Senior was going nuts sitting on the edge of the couch and I was in tears laughing so hard my sides were hurting.. He made for a most entertaining afternoon.
I included the official trailer for your viewing pleasure:
