Yeah but Sharktopus doesn't even have Lorenzo Lamas to help carry it (and that's not saying much). Take it from someone who actively watches these Sci-fi channel crapfest Saturday night movies.

I just watched the trailer for it. Fucking hell, that looks awful

How dare you? That was awesome in a great big pile of crap way. B movies are just that. No pretence. No allusions of grandeur, just stupid entertainment of varying degrees and then every now and again a movie comes through the B files to stake a claim as a bona fide classic (not that this is BTW!)

I would much rather watch crap like this than the mindless banality they spend $30 million on every other week that gets released and turns out to be moronic and insipid but cost's 10 times more.

It is an odd way to look at movies for some but there is nothing worse than lazy filmmaking and been given a decent budget 80% of directors, actors etc coast it and put no effort in and consequently give us something instantly forgettable. Give a team a tiny budget and with a modicum of intelligence you will get something heartfelt and genuine and maybe even a little innovative too.

I must see this. The original's probably better though.

I see where your coming from - these sort of movies have the 'so bad theyre good' factor, and for the money they spend in making them, they can be more of a success than say a big budget Hollywood clad film that then absolutely sucks. B movies are entertaining and amusing, with that '**** this is stupid' sense to it, espescially when they take themselves awfully seriously. The one default of the entire B movie plan, is that sometimes theyre so bad, theyre worse. Luckily that hardly ever happens, and we're simply stuck with terrible movies that nontheless make us laugh
