ok I went all in on the 7th art. sharknado 5, and then to make sure we were really brain dead, Empire of the sharks.
Empire of the sharks (ok let's say 1/10, they did record something and there is almost a scenario). crap, pure and simple. the only redeeming feature is that it made me feel like Waterworld wasn't the worst someone could do with Mad Max on a boat("love, exciting and new...."). it gives hope to all the creative people who failed around the world. someone someday will do something so bad, your stuff will look fine in comparison.
Sharknado 5: 3/10 it was 110% what you'd expect and then another 1337% of unexpected in an expected way that cannot possibly make any sense. we've left going to 11 a long time ago. it's starting to become like the Scary Movie franchise of itself. they begun with a ridicule movie, and now each new version tries to become a parody of the previous one. there is this crazy fight in my mind as everything is hyper lame, but to a point where it appears to be staged on purpose. it's like the talent to fail, showing how to fail like a boss, exactly the way they wanted to. they have absolute control over being lame.
without spoiling too much, most female characters contain more artificial body parts than the cyborg, and yes there is a cyborg(in case you've missed the previous episodes, the wife gives away limbs to various sharks over each new movie). we have James Bond, Back to the future, Godzilla, Mission impossible, Moses, and so many more in a movie that's hyper everything and yet mostly boring and very bad. those shark movies have becomes a manifesto to bad taste. I can't wait for number 6 and hopefully sharknados in space. it will probably turn to be something like time travel to see how sharknados are the reason why dinosaurs went extinct, but I really hope I'll get to see space sharknados at some point. and who cares about vacuum and physics and telling a story. \o/
oh I also watched Brazil on TV. to me it's still a solid 9/10. also something clearly special and not for everybody, but to me at least, this time it's brilliant (then again, can a guy using a Monty Python inspired nickname, ever think bad of Gilliam's work? in the latest polls, at least 12 monkeys said no. ^_^ ).
I love the visual style obviously, but I also have a passion for dystopias, be it in books or movies, they're probably my favorite SF theme(after space sharknados of course).
