Many thought the media’s focus on the ‘Polar Vortex’ this winter was pretty stupid, well another kind of similarly stupid vortex is about to reappear again. All we can hope is that it dies and never comes back after this episode.
The first one was dumb enough. But a second one is industrial strength weapons grade stupid.
“A freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished, iconic sites – and only Fin and April can save the Big Apple.”
Do. Not. Watch.
Hopefully the SyFy channel will get the message this time and this thing will be dead forever.
How can you be against sharknadoes?! Are you also one of those anti-corn dog vegans?
I assume this movie is not meant to be taken seriously right? I see it in the vein of “snakes on a plane.”
Probably would be replaced by Squidicane
This reminds me of what viewers said about Highlander 2: “There should only have been One!!!”
Anthony – you’re no fun!
Sharknado was the best movie ever produced in the history of the film industry. They had to debut it on television because the demand was too great for theaters to handle it.
Sharknado 3 is already in production and will debut on SyFy network in 2015: The best moves evar!

To be kinda-sorta serious about something that should never be taken seriously, I think the closer they tie sharknadoes to AGW, the better. And it absolutely boggles my mind that Anthony wouldn’t love sharnknadoes. Have the sunspots, or lack thereof, finally gotten to him?!
According to today’s news, there is something out in the water that is eating 9-foot-long sharks! Sounds like a little payback, to me…
I don’t know, we were hit by a makoburst about a month or so ago and it was no fun.
Whadayamean, “Do. Not. Watch.”?
I hardly ever watch made of TV movies, Sharknado was the best one I watched all year! Come to think of it, it was the only one I watched all year.
At least the Sharknado series (oh my – series) doesn’t take itself seriously whereas “The Day after Tomorrow” was hoping to inspire a national dialog about CAGW.
Bring it on! I can think of several places and people in NYC where a real shark would be an upgrade. Well, until fish rot sets in.
Must have been hit with a Snarknado
No! Don’t discourage this! It is exactly what we need to underscore the stupidity of AGW catastrophic and equally bizarre press releases! PERFECT!
Don’t worry, the hipsters & their upper-middle-class art-school marxism will surely save New York from any looming danger!
I love “Day After Tomorrow.” One of the great disaster flicks. Whenever it comes on I say, “Hey, they’re showing the Al Gore movie again!” Of course, nothing will ever top the 2012 movie where the world was ending, with the possible exception of Avatar, where an American (natch) saves a whole ecosystem the old-fashioned way: By winning a fistfight with the bad guy.
Really, Anthony, what’s not to love?
I agree with Pamela. The first Sharknado was a hoot. Tell everyone you know to watch this, so they see the silliness of CAGW alarmism taken to its (il)logical conclusion.
As a proud Associate Producer of the remake of Plan 9 From Outer Space (Plan 9), I denounce your denouncing of bad movies. I only wish Adam Sandler could be in it.
Anthony! These things are designed not to be taken seriously. Badly written, acted, realised – it’s a bit like the Producers – they want the worst movie possible so viewers’ morbid curiousity gets the better of them.

“At least the Sharknado series (oh my – series) doesn’t take itself seriously whereas “The Day after Tomorrow” was hoping to inspire a national dialog about CAGW.”
Even Hollywood realized that “cold kills” and had global warming improbably triggering a new ice age.
As difficult as it is to do a good parody of the climate kook movement, what with so may self-parodies provided unintentionally, Sharknado is a pretty good stab at it.
Bad can be so bad it is good. The series will become a cult classic.
They are running out of disaster film ideas. But then so is all of Hollywood.
“… cherished, iconic sites – and only Fin and April can save the Big Apple.”
Obviously a typo. Should be “Finn and Jake.”
Curse you, Bryan A.!!! I can’t stop thinking about the Squidicane!
OMG! We lose NYC! And this would be a bad thing, right?

I think there is a just a little going beyond the facts in that story.
All that they really know is that the monitoring device became detached from the shark, and showed a period of warmth.
Jumping to the conclusion that it was still attached to the shark when it became warm, and that the warmth was due to it being inside some creature is pure speculation.
Much more likely that it became detached by some other means, and was picked up by some creature (which may have been quite small), or even that it became detached close to shore, and ended up in the warm shallow water near a beach.
Of course, that doesn’t sound anything like as dramatic, even if it is much more likely.
