Sun Sep 20 18:46:43

Sun Sep 20 18:47:30
- haha prof thinks it belongs to a prehistoric shark "Megalodon," and google image searches it on safari.
Sun Sep 20 18:50:44
- google image result: http://bit.ly/4BdQC2 but the cool dude's been photoshopped out.
Sun Sep 20 18:51:16
- debbie: "Megalodon. Meaning 'Big Tooth.'"
Sun Sep 20 18:51:36
- someone's been reading wikipedia.
Sun Sep 20 18:51:52
- haha holy shit, i wasn't kidding, they just delivered this line: "It was the apex predator of its time...
Sun Sep 20 18:52:52
- ... and is the largest carnivorous fish known to have existed." Word-for-word from the first paragraph in the Megalodon wiki entry.
Sun Sep 20 18:53:29
- hahaha another wiki line: "Fossil evidence has revealed that megalodon fed upon large marine animals" except prof adds in "by yours truly"
Sun Sep 20 18:54:29
- prof introduces debbie to friendly japanese scientist Shimoto. they just pout and unpout their lips at each other.
Sun Sep 20 18:57:23

Sun Sep 20 19:07:11
- debbie: "what, giant squid?" shimoto and prof in unison: "OCTOPUS"
Sun Sep 20 19:07:31
- obligatory environmentalism shoutout: debbie thinks this happened cuz we're making the polar ice caps melt. "Maybe this is our comeuppance"
Sun Sep 20 19:11:02
- MAYBE THIS MOVIE IS OUR COMEUPPANCE
Sun Sep 20 19:11:08
- okay, this scene transition wasn't seagulls. it was cgi dolphins jumping through the water. like that guns n roses video.
Sun Sep 20 19:16:20
- http://bit.ly/ZMUCL
Sun Sep 20 19:18:05

Sun Sep 20 19:45:03

Sun Sep 20 19:46:40
- hip writer alert! evil dude: "how do you propose we get these things there? send them an evite??"
Sun Sep 20 19:48:01
- 2nd science montage! so many test tubes with dyed water! staring in a microscope and shaking heads! mixing dyed water and shaking heads!
Sun Sep 20 19:49:57
- debbie & shimada are bonding of their shared love of water.
Sun Sep 20 19:52:28
- shim shares childhood memory of seeing dolphin caught in net. debbie makes joke about being shitty at fishing. they laugh, then slowly kiss!
Sun Sep 20 19:53:20
- mind you, this is in the science lab.
Sun Sep 20 19:53:29
- debbie: "I'm gunna take a walk." shim's face is confused! debbie: "You know... a walk?" now he knows! exeunt.
Sun Sep 20 19:55:15
- making out in the supply closet! crossfade to post-coitus on the floor. now they're discussing how attraction is based on smell.
Sun Sep 20 19:56:37
- DEBBIE HAS AN IDEA! "Pheromones!" Shim gasps: "My god! Are you thinkingÑ?" "We can use pheromones to draw them in!" this movie is great.
Sun Sep 20 19:58:34
- 3rd science montage! oh my god, they mix two liquids together and it turns neon green! (actually kinda cool) They look elated.
Sun Sep 20 19:59:36
- look elated = each dude kisses debbie on the cheek.
Sun Sep 20 20:00:59
- evil dude doubt the monsters will take the bait. prof: "Those guys have been frozen for millions of years. Wouldn't you be a lil horny?"
Sun Sep 20 20:02:05
- debbie makes canisters full of the neon green shit, which i guess is what monster pheromones look like. can pheromones look like anything?
Sun Sep 20 20:05:07

Sun Sep 20 20:10:44
- jet pilot: "MAYDAY MAYDAY! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" tentacle smacks jet, another tiny explosion.
Sun Sep 20 20:11:35
- now they're shooting torpedoes at it? everyone just looks the same amount of concerned throughout this whole scene.
Sun Sep 20 20:13:54
- have i mentioned how many scenes take place with debbie and others on the beach at dusk, looking into the water? right now is number 5.
Sun Sep 20 20:14:55
- debbie is waxing existential, equating what they're doing with oppenheimer building the atomic bomb.
Sun Sep 20 20:16:43
- prof is proud of debbie. she puts on cry-face.
Sun Sep 20 20:18:31

Sun Sep 20 20:26:32
- firing commenced! no sign of the target! "Target Destroyed!" everyone cheers, but then an ensign: "Sir, I'm picking up a reading.." deja vu?
Sun Sep 20 20:28:33
- Mega shark just bit through the destroyer like he was eating a hot dog starting from the middle.
Sun Sep 20 20:30:48
- oh i forgot debbie and prof were still trying to escape in their minisub. it kind of looks like that re-entry scene in armageddon.
Sun Sep 20 20:31:47
- ensign: "the target is heading for the golden gate bridge!" evil dude gets hell of nervous. ensign: "Sir? SIR?"
Sun Sep 20 20:32:31
- oh jesus, here's the next five shots, all with uber-dramatic music: 1) Golden Gate Bridge, cars driving peacefully on it
Sun Sep 20 20:33:52
- 2) Mega Shark half-out of the water, right next to bridge, putting his mouth around it (he can easily fit the six-lane width in there)
Sun Sep 20 20:39:38
- 3) The same shot as (1), except the camera is shaking. I mean the exact same, as in Mega Shark is not there.
Sun Sep 20 20:40:42
- 4) Evil dude looking concerned.
Sun Sep 20 20:41:17
- 5) Same shot as (2)
Sun Sep 20 20:41:30
- 6) aerial shot of the bridge (cgi), Mega Shark bites right through it.
Sun Sep 20 20:42:05
- 7) Evil dude even more concerned. Keep in mind there are no monitors in the room he's in, and no one's saying anything. Telepathic vibes.
Sun Sep 20 20:43:04
- 8) close up of the ensign, also concerned.
Sun Sep 20 20:43:43
- 9) Mega Shark finishes his bite. Music turns sad.
Sun Sep 20 20:44:02
- 10) Evil dude, sits back in his chair, closing his eyes and frowning.
Sun Sep 20 20:45:02
- 11-15) shots of ensign, evil dude, and even debbie in her sub, all being sad and silent, as if they had just seen the tragedy.
Sun Sep 20 20:46:05
- sorry, i said that was the next 5 shots, i meant it was the next 5 seconds.
Sun Sep 20 20:47:00
- shim is in tokyo trying to lure the octopus, and it's only pissing it off. shim delivers the obligatory "My god, what have we done?"
Sun Sep 20 20:48:08
- evil dude wants to nuke the monsters. our heroes discuss the myriad side effects, such as poisoning the oceans, massive tidal waves, etc...
Sun Sep 20 20:51:30
- ...evil dude goes to call the pentagon. debbie: "We gotta think of a solution, fast!" shim: "I suggest we all get some rest and reconvene"..
Sun Sep 20 20:52:24
- ..."in the morning" They all nod!!
Sun Sep 20 20:53:03
- Debbie on the beach at dusk again.
Sun Sep 20 20:53:27
- whoa, psych montage! lots of flashing shots, timelapse, flashbacks of previous scenes but all warped and wobbly, tossing and turning in bed!
Sun Sep 20 20:54:21
- debbie busts into prof's room: "THRILLA IN MANILLA!"
Sun Sep 20 20:55:22
- exposition: "We'll get them to kill each other!"
Sun Sep 20 20:56:01
- Apparently they were battling when they were frozen in the arctic? They were fighting so slowly an iceberg formed around them?
Sun Sep 20 20:57:41
- apparently Mega Shark and Giant Octo hated eachother so much that when the ice age came, they would rather continue fighting than survive.
Sun Sep 20 21:00:37
- "Their hate is stronger than their survival instinct." I think evolutionary theory doesn't include nearly enough emotion.
Sun Sep 20 21:02:23
- evil dude to debbie: "score one for ms. fancy pants" she actually looks at her pants!!
Sun Sep 20 21:03:27
- the scientists' new plan is seriously to lure the monsters to the same spot and let them kill each other. "They'll cancel each other out!"
Sun Sep 20 21:06:40
- Cause that what happens when two animals fight, right? They both die?
Sun Sep 20 21:07:59
- shim quotes Caesar, prof picks it up, and debbie finishes it off. what a team!
Sun Sep 20 21:08:48
- shim and debbie are exchanging glances and pouty lips via the communication screen.
Sun Sep 20 21:09:30
- shim thinks about "that night" all the time. "Every time I go to sweep up"
Sun Sep 20 21:09:46
- shark attacks sub they're all on. torpedoes fired... torpedoes missed!!
Sun Sep 20 21:12:56
- mega shark keeps knocking into the sub, even though it could fit into his mouth like a toothpick.
Sun Sep 20 21:14:00
- HELL OF HUGE OCTOPUS JUST SHOWED UP
Sun Sep 20 21:14:11
- radar screen shows octopus over the whole map. not the shape of an octopus, actual underwater footage of an octopus. on the radar screen.
Sun Sep 20 21:15:26
- naval rescue fleet "destroyed by Octopus."
Sun Sep 20 21:16:29
- the sub captain's acting hero was most definitely chris penn.
Sun Sep 20 21:18:29
- the past 3 minutes have been quickly-intercut shots of the sub, the shark, people in the sub (shaky), and that's about it.
Sun Sep 20 21:22:46
- whoa, the ensign just pulled a gun on the captain! i think because they were going too fast?
Sun Sep 20 21:23:10
- the ensign was driving the sub (with a joystick), but now he's standing with a gun at the captain's head! "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL US ALL!"
Sun Sep 20 21:25:02
- the sub runs into the ocean wall, shaking everyone inside. the captain heroically grabs the ensign's arms, and debbie DECKS him!
Sun Sep 20 21:26:35
- mega shark is about to swallow the sub like a minnow, but wait, what's this?? GIANT TENTACLES BE HOLDIN SHARKZILLA BACK
Sun Sep 20 21:28:23
- Play-by-play: Octopus wraps a bunch of his tentacles around Megashark and tries to hug him to death.
Sun Sep 20 21:29:24
- Megashark chomps right through a tentacle! Octopus lets go and runs away. Megashark gives chase.
Sun Sep 20 21:30:33
- Every time a monster glides by the screen, they play the sound of a post-production intern going "SHWHOO"
Sun Sep 20 21:32:42
- Octopus squirts an Exxon-Mobil's worth of ink in Megashark's face.
Sun Sep 20 21:33:54
- somehow the sub ends up back at the place from the first scene, where the monsters were frozen. does this need to make sense?
Sun Sep 20 21:36:47
- suddenly the whole sub shakes violently and everyone falls over. prof explains: "SOMETHING'S HIT US!!"
Sun Sep 20 21:37:25
- the very large shark has a military submarine in its mouth. the people inside the submarine are upset.
Sun Sep 20 21:39:44
- the shark lets go of the submarine. the people in the sub try to steer away. the shark comes back for it. this is not a smart shark.
Sun Sep 20 21:40:49
- our heroes get in a mini-sub and abandon ship. every one else on board just sits tight, and then gets eaten by the very large shark.
Sun Sep 20 21:42:59
- shim comes to rescue with his own sub, but then that gets grabbed by the very large octopus and thrown into the depths of the ocean.
Sun Sep 20 21:44:31
- the very large shark and the very large octopus start fighting again! yay!
Sun Sep 20 21:45:12
- fight sequence is intercut with a lot of closeups of our heroes, staring with mouths agape. occasionally evil dude will be shaking his head.
Sun Sep 20 21:45:51
- of the 20 or so shots of the monsters fighting, there are probably 4 unique shots, 3 of them from the last fight.
Sun Sep 20 21:47:05
- Mega Shark just bit off another tentacle!
Sun Sep 20 21:47:16
- Octopus is now hugging Mega Shark again, but the action music has turned to somber music, and they slowly sink to the ocean floor. death?
Sun Sep 20 21:49:04
- "Looks like they finally finished what they started, 18 million years ago."
Sun Sep 20 21:49:27
- shim returns on screen! his face is covered in scratches and dirt, he's been in a terrible submarine wreck.
Sun Sep 20 21:50:11
- shim and debbie are now the beach at dusk, together.
Sun Sep 20 21:50:36
- shim says he wants to move in debbie. she says "You know I'm not a stay-at-home kind of gal. I'm a mermaid."
Sun Sep 20 21:51:12
- prof shows up, with some pictures of some more prehistoric shit in the north sea! Our heroes run off, another adventure ahead!!!
Sun Sep 20 21:53:33
- finally, Mega Shark and Giant Octopus, eternally entangled, fall into the blackness that is the ocean deep.
Sun Sep 20 21:54:28
- Roll credits.
Sun Sep 20 21:54:35
- In conclusion, Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus left me slightly hungry and curious about Debbie Gibson's life choices. 4 out 5 stars.
