High hopes
Anybody else hoping this one is at least entertaining?
shareI'm always down for a fun popcorn movie and this looks like it will fit the bill.
Jason Statham battling a giant shark? Fuck it. Why not?
I was surprised to learn that it was based on a book. Doesn't really look like the kind of story that would work well in book form.
Who read these kind of books? Lol.
shareLot of people read Jaws before it was a movie.
shareJaws was based on a book?? I didn't know this.
shareYes, but it was also considered 'low-brow' reading before the movie.
shareJaws was a HUGE book. The one everyone was talking about for practically a year. Because of that, the movie was highly anticipated.
By the way, in the book, Hooper and the Sheriff's wife had an affair.
I was hoping it'd be a miracle and actually be a *good* shark movie. But with a shitty pg-13 rating, combined with the cheesy trailer, that is definitely an impossibility (for my tastes). However, it does still have potential to be an entertaining flick, so I'm still hoping for that, at least.
shareHopefully it's better than the flurry of megalodon movies that went straight to video in the late 90s/early 2000s.
shareExcuse me but take a look at this dialogue from Shark Attack 3: Megalodon:
Cataline Stone: [sigh] "I'm exhausted."
Ben Carpenter: "Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your p*ssy."
If that isn't great cinema then I don't know what is!
touché!
shareThat's good dialogue!
shareThis is going to flop so hard.
