No, really, after the week we’ve had where every opportunist out there is trying to blame global warming for the Moore Oklahoma tornado, I’m not kidding. Sharknadoes are the new EF10. The brief description:
When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, thousands of sharks terrorize the waterlogged populace. And when the high-speed winds form tornadoes in the desert, nature’s deadliest killer rules water, land, and air.
This is actually a movie in production with a cast. I can’t tell yet if its an eco-thriller in the Day After Tomorrow genre or high camp of the Plan 9 From Outer Space genre. Whatever it is, the poster and DVD cover artwork says it all.
No word yet on whether James Hansen, Bill McKibben, Brad Johnson, and Joe Romm make cameo appearances.
It is really poor timing and in poor taste (as Senator Whitehouse tried and learned) on the part of the producers to make this film and highlight it at Cannes Film Festival.
Oh please, please, please, please have them blame the Sharknado on global warming. That would be a blow even Hansen would have trouble recovering from.
Olaf, I strongly disagree… The Core was an okay movie. It was a genre of Science Fiction that I’ve always enjoyed… the type that essentially mocks Science Fiction while being Science Fiction. The only thing that disappointed me about it was there weren’t enough references to other Science Fiction, for example, “What would Captain Kirk have done?” or “Luke Skywalker could have just fixed this with his light saber”.
It contained one of my favorite movie lines of all time:
One of the few times I’ve actually laughed out loud watching a movie.
The Trailer:
“I will stop the Sharknado “Laser Beam” for One Mill…… One Bill…… One Trillion dollars!”
Years ago I worked for, but didn’t paid by, a company that made really stupid extremely low budget movies, (so low budget they didn’t pay people), these so called films were named things “Attack of The Sexy Vampire Lesbian Zombies”. This made sure these movies had something for everybody, or for nobody.
Great post. Up in the Great White North, I recently had the displeasure of reading the disgusting Vancouver Sun newspaper’s article about it, where they not only blamed the tornado on global warming, but added repeated use of the “D” word. Just plain disgusting.
This has to be a SciFi channel original – this is exactly the sort of movie they would make – completely ridiculous, completely tongue in cheek
Thunder is scenarist Thunder Levin’s real name. You have to admire the man (?) for attaching his (?) real name to this production.
But really, isn’t it a failure of imagination to limit the effects of man-made global warming to mere tornadoes of sharks? The professional “climate science community” has already gone far beyond amateur science fiction in fact-free scare-mongering.
Moore, Oklahoma is No Moore.
You’d think they’d leave it at that.
That’s it. We are totally, irrevocably, comprehensively, doomed.
Wonder if Fonzie makes a cameo with his skis in this one..
Sharknadoes, what happened to ManBearPigNadoes?
Sharknadoes has a character named Fin…..
This conspiracy runs deeper than we ever imagined!
“Humping the shark”–there’s a title for a movie!
I think this movie is going to be far more realistic and believable than “An Inconvenient Truth” was.
How about throwing in some giant squids and killer whales?
Has to be a SyFy project. Ah, SyFy, where has-beens go to put the final stakes in their careers.
AGW climate “science” done jumped the sharknado.

What a dirty mind! Those were piranha, it was much more a permanent guarantee she’d never get hemorrhoids.
Although I can see how certain adolescent minds would joke about the terrible example of ‘consuming a feline’.
Thank you all I have not had such a good laugh in a long time, the mental images from some of your comments have been priceless (what this says about my mind we won’t go into!)
Thank you again

“Attack of The Sexy Vampire Lesbian Zombies”.
Zombie vampires might be new. Aside from that, it’s standard stuff. Hammer, of course, made the best one.

Never heard of the listed actors.
Johnmarshall, ever see any of the American Pie movies?
Instead of sharks, should be global warming causing a massive plague of bloodthirsty flying pigs. Coming soon to a theatre near you.
“No word yet on whether James Hansen, Bill McKibben, Brad Johnson, and Joe Romm make cameo appearances.”
Will they be the first to be eaten?
