And once again we learn internet buzz != dollars in the pocket. Which we should have learned with Snakes on a Plane, and Serenity, heck there was a whole South Park episode about it.

It was a Z-movie from The Asylum - the home of Z-movies.

I’ll bet “Sharknado” made “Plan 9 From Outer Space” look like “The Empire Strikes Back”.

Yet the Twitter battle did have its funny moments. Such as from the San Jose Sharks, who sniped ESPN right out of the saddle.

What do you mean? I tuned in for an entire 15 seconds before I was too bored to watch any more.

After seeing all the tweets, I turned it on for five minutes..to see the shark in the living room about to go up the stairs..

Some of the tweets of titles for other possible z-movies were hilarious. I laughed when I saw vaginaconda suggested as an idea...in the snakes on a plane genre.

I didn’t watch the movie, but ran across these GIFs this morning:

They are interesting.

I am so f#%king sick of the fake hype and distraction of posting supposedly live, praise filled Twitter feeds at the bottom of shows while they are going on.

Someone who could figure out how to filter that crap out of the TV feed, including the ads for other shows going on in the corner of the show you're watching, could make a fortune. A fortune.

It was sooo bad! Shame MST3K isn’t around anymore, they would have loved it!

My wife tried to watch it and changed the channel after about 20 seconds.

You have to take into account the repeat airing next week, and the word of mouth (or word of tweet) from now til then.

However, comparisons with HBO series are incredibly ridiculous, particularly the "Red Wedding" episode, when every fan who'd read the books knew what was going to happen.

I have work to do on my Syfy movie title generator — Sharknado wouldn’t have come out of it (although “Tornado Shark” might have been a possibility).

Movies like Sharknado make me wish that MST3K was still around.

Pfft. I watched it (it aired last night in Canada) and enjoyed it for what it was.

Whatever else you can say, it was better than Hellraiser: Revelations.
