That's my reaction to 2IPAs getting into SharkNado - I had to ask for permission to speak while these 3 movies played on for 6 hours
Sharknado 3 - rerun on SyFy NOW!
...At a screening of [Sharknado 2] at a shark-themed party at The Beverly Hilton pool, the stars of “Sharknado” expressed surprise at the success of the first film. Mr. Ziering admitted he agreed to star in the film only to cover his insurance through SAG-AFTRA. “I told my wife, I don’t think this is something I should do, and she said, with daughter Mia on her lap and Penna still in her belly, ‘Look, you need to go to work, we’re gonna have a baby in April.’ I thought, damn, I better take one for the team,” Mr. Ziering said. “You have to make so much to get the insurance with SAG, and this met that requirement, but I did it begrudgingly.”
When Mr. Ziering and Ms. Reid signed on for the first film it was called “Dark Skies.” A week into filming when producers told them the title was changing to “Sharknado,” they were concerned. “ ‘Dark Skies’ sounded legit, that wouldn’t be bad on the resume,” Ms. Reid said. “When they told us the title was changing to ‘Sharknado,’ I was on the phone with my agent, Ian’s on the phone with his agent. We had a conversation, ‘Let’s pull out. We can’t put ‘Sharknado’ on our resumes. It’s gonna ruin everything.’ ”
Instead, “Sharknado” became a sensation. The director has his own theories on why his little movie became a hit thanks to social media last year. “All the summer movies last year, while there were a lot of good ones, were really dark. ‘Man of Steel,’ not a bad movie, but there was no joy,” Mr. Ferrante said. “There was nothing like ‘The Avengers’ that exploded, that was fun. And then here’s this movie with the most ridiculous title. We put up the trailer that made it look like a big-budget movie, and I think people wanted to see it fail. And it was free [to viewers with basic cable] so families could watch a movie that looked like a summer blockbuster and it looked silly and fun.”
And then there’s the concept — Sharks! In tornadoes! — which is what got viewer attention and made it a sensation among the online chattering class, propelling the first “Sharknado” to better ratings for subsequent broadcasts after its premiere, something that almost never happens these days...
