Sharknado

How many of you watched Syfy's latest movie, Sharknado? I actually watched this movie because I am a junkie for any movie with sharks and gore.



Sharknado is about a freak hurricane that hits Los Angeles and floods the area. During this freak hurricane, tornadoes sprout up over the water and somehow sharks are whisked out of the ocean by the tornadoes and deposited in the flooding city where they rain havoc. As the movie progresses, they discover that by bombing the tornadoes, it will destroy them.

If the movie plot sounds absurd, that's because it is. First of all, a bomb would never magically destroy a tornado. Secondly, once a shark has landed on dry land, it isn't going to automatically search for a person and start chewing. At this point, survival instincts would have kicked in and it would be looking for water in order to survive.

Sharknado became one of Syfy's highest ever rated movies in terms of viewers due to its role in social media. Simply put, it became a Twitter sensation. Celebrities of all calibers tweeted their thoughts of Sharknado, granted most of them were jabs at the movie. Even though they were making fun of the movie, it still prompted several people to watch the movie due to their favorite celebrities tweeting about it.
