Jesus Christ, Spencer, that was a stupid movie. Thanks!!!

Thanks a bunch for SHARK ATTACK 3: MEGALODON! What a piece of crap. I loved it. But for the life of me I can't figure out why someone can't make a *decent* shark movie. Why are they all so corny? And why do they all rip off JAWS so blatantly? That movie was made like 30 years ago! We've all seen it! We know when you are ripping it off so stop pretending! Anyways MEGALODON is really cool. Yeah its filled with stock footage that has been seen 1000 times before; but at least MEGALODON digitally alters this old footage to make something original out of it, even if they repeat the same shot like 3 times, only with a different object being swallowed each time. That, and the always-welcome unnecessary nudity managed to liven up what was essentially another notch in NU IMAGE's belt of hackneyed, predictable straight-to-video knockoffs. At least they are CONSISTENT. I'm pretty sure RAGING SHARKS is a NU IMAGE production.

Oh yeah, you were right: MEGALODON does have what is the single-most inappropriate seduction line EVER in cinema. I about fell out of my chair. I loved the cast, too. I can see the call sheet now: "Do you look like Tom Cruise, only with worse teeth? Are you a blonde with tight abs but a so-so face? Can you say things like 'it's coming back!' or 'we're sinking?' Then come on down to our next non-union, shot-in-Mexico MOS production called SHARK SOMETHING."
