    Edited in the poll, Irish. Though this one likely only needs one poll option...
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    Ha, thank you! I totally forgot about the poll*. I expect every vote to be a "Yay," of course.

    I love Tara Reid's career trajectory: Coen Brothers film --> Robert Altman film --> Uwe Boll film --> Sharknado. Where can it possibly go next??

    This was all the talk during the week in California radio, beaches, etc... I don't know how that many people saw it if it was just on SyFy... But it's a huge hit apparently.

    People like watching crap. That's why Grown Ups 2 is #1 at the box office.

    How is it that there is a Grown Ups 2, when I've never even heard of Grown Ups 1?

    Living in Seattle keeps you sheltered from the rest of the country's nonsense.

    I did not like this. A couple inspired cartoon beats, but most just the usual Asylum mode of cynical, tedious, secondary filmmaking.

    Admittedly, this is only really worth it for the last 30 minutes when the film just takes one WTF beat after another, but I was rolling through those last minutes. Everyone else talks about the guy from 90210 leaping into a shark and chainsawing his way out, but I am focusing on that brilliant moment when a swimming pool EXPLODES. Epic stuff.

    I thought the last 60 minutes was hysterical. The constant inconsistencies in weather, geography, and character location from shot to shot brought huge laughs, but what I found even more hilarious was the fact that, outside of the main group of five people, no one else seemed to care about what was going on. Old people swimming in the pool, mailman delivering packages in the background, cars driving by nonchalantly on the bridge as the school kids are being saved, etc. The indifference to the event of every background car/bystander was gold. And then of course there's the action in the last 30 minutes. Swimming pool/car explosions, picking off flying sharks with a handgun from a mile away, watching Steve Sanders pretend to drive a car, watching Aussie guy try to flick a shark off his leg like it was poo stuck to his shoe, slow-motion Tara Reid cart kick, chainsaw escape, etc.

    A sequel will be awful because they'll try waaaay too hard, but the little things in this one went the extra mile and made it well worth watching.

    The Asylum never tries. Their modus operandi is to simply not give a shit.
