Sharknado was a glorious guilty pleasure hit. The internet is pretty much a buzz about it.

It pretty much did things badly in the right way. The acting was gawd awful. The logic of the events that took place was non-existent, the special effects horrendous and the editing was pure crap.

Mix that all up and you have the epitome of pure cheesiness that you can grin at. It truly was unbelievable viewing experience. I would have loved to been around when decisions were made. What I’m thinking is some writers had some key milestones that were in a vacuum and they were then instructed to connect the dots with filler plot to get from Point A to Point B.

For instance, the hero of the story needs to get to his old house, now his ex-wife’s (Tara Reid) house, for higher ground because the streets of LA are flooding… with sharks. So the group in the jeep get to the house on the high hill, suddenly the sewer in front of the house explodes with water jetting out…. Filled with sharks. So they go into the house to be safe… right? Wrong. Apparently the water level for some reason flooded the front of the house and allow sharks to come in through the front window and flood the living room. Now the group has to fight off sharks in the living room. After a little chomping, they need to get out of the house. So they get their chance and go out the front door to their jeep where apparently water level by all miracles, disappears.

This kind of plot happens through the whole movie. It’s great.

See movie making at it’s worse. It makes Ed Wood look like a genius.

How, here are some very funny social network comments.

 Wil Wheaton        ✔ @wilw

I'm not so sure about the science in this movie you guys. #SharkNado

 Wil Wheaton        ✔ @wilw

Two commercials in, and #SharkNado is awesome. I wonder if I can get a cameo in the inevitable sequel.

 Wil Wheaton        ✔ @wilw

I don't think the writers of #SharkNado understand how flooding and fluid dynamics work.

 Damon Lindelof        ✔ @DamonLindelof

I am going to write the Sharknado sequel and I am going to do it before Shaknado is over.

 Damon Lindelof        ✔ @DamonLindelof

For those of you already maligning my ending for SHARKNADO 2, you should know 3 things: Henry Winkler. Leather jacket. Water skiis.


 Damon Lindelof        ✔ @DamonLindelof

Dammit, you idiots, JUST KILL THE QUEEN SHARK!!!

 Damon Lindelof        ✔ @DamonLindelof

This movie is such a ripoff of THE BICYCLE THIEF.

 Damon Lindelof        ✔ @DamonLindelof

"Mr. Mayor, I am an accomplished Meteorineologist. I know weather and I know sharks. And you, sir? Got BOTH."

 Greg Berlanti @GBerlanti

Somewhere in Hollywood there is a senior executive yelling at a junior executive for not coming up with #Sharknado first.


 Patton Oswalt        ✔ @pattonoswalt

.@DamonLindelof Why are you wasting time Tweeting me? Already starting my draft! #Sharknado

 Danny Zuker        ✔ @DannyZuker

Can't watch #Sharknado because I'm on the set of my new film Tsunamwolf.


 Eric Stangel        ✔ @EricStangel

You get the feeling they said this a lot during filming "Eh, we'll fix it later. It'll look fine." #Sharknado


 Eric Stangel        ✔ @EricStangel

If there isn't a channel showing #Sharknado on a loop until the end of time, we have failed as a society...


 rob delaney        ✔ @robdelaney

I usually hate Wes Anderson, but Sharknado's actually pretty good.


 Ben Hoffman        ✔ @thebenshow

East coast, please don't tell me how #SharkNado ends. Or starts. Or what happens in the middle.

 Patton Oswalt        ✔ @pattonoswalt

Dear @SyfyTV: please follow up SHARKNADO with PARTLY CLOWNY. Sky. Clowns. Michael Pare (probably)
