We deserve better

Hello people of the Internet! I HATE SHARKNADO! I hate its lazy writing, I hate its horrendous acting, I hate its "special effects", and I especially hate how the people of this country are so into it!


For those of you who don't know what I am talking about Sharknado is two films produced by the Syfy channel starring the likes of Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, John Heard, and other such D list actors. Much like Snakes on A Plane the plot to these movies can be found in the title: America is hit by tornados so strong that they suck up millions of sharks from the ocean and dump them all over the city, first in California and then again in New York. The only thing standing  between the innocent populous and the toothy twister is Finley "Fin" Shepard, his ex-wife April, and a cast red shirts patiently waiting for a shark to rip them out of this awful flick.

Even though these films has to be one the worst films Syfy has produced-and that is saying a lot considering this is SyFy we're talking about-it became one of the hottest things to hit pop culture since auto tune and I can not figure out why! The popular reason for these film's fame is that because they are so bad and I can understand that. Not everything in cinema has to be so straight laced and it's actually refreshing to laugh at ridiculous films like The Stuff or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,  or even some of Michael Bay's Transformers; but that's not the case for Sharknado.

The people of Syfy didn't create these films with the intention of them being good or that they would be so bad they would be good but just so they could some money for their next project. It's slap in the face, an insult to the viewer's intelligence, and a message that the people of the film industry don't care enough about us to even try to entertain us and that has got to stop!

My readers we deserve better. We deserve movies that enthrall our minds with rich plots and dizzying twist. We deserve films with actors who work so hard that we feel the heat of their emotions flowing out from behind the screen. We deserve to come out cinema, or drive in, or den feeling fulfilled by the series of images and sounds we have just witnessed. You can have your Sharknado's but in return you better give twenty Jaws. You can have your Paranormal Activities but only after I get sixty Poltergeist. You can have your Cat Woman but as payment I want a hundred Avengers with fifteen Kick Ass's and thirty five Dredds as change!  

I'm sorry if offend fans of this film but if we don't demand better out the directors, and the writers, and the producers of the film industries than the art of movie making will die.

That's all I have to say so until my next post Live well, Laugh often, and Love much.
