What do you mean, it's not a blockbuster title?

Based on on-line views, some yahoo over at Yahoo totalled up the top ten most viewed trailers of 2009.  Sure, Twilight's stupid sparkly vampires took number one, Transformers took number two, and most of them are the big-budget blockbusters you would expect. 

I have to imagine that at least a few of you morons contributed to Megashark vs. Giant Octopus getting all the way to the number eight viewed trailer of the year.  Congratulate yourselves.

3 The worst thing I did in the past decade was watch that movie. And I paid $4.99 for it.

The best thing I did in the past year (I won't say decade) was to watch that movie.  I loved the hell out of it.

But I love me some truly awful movies.

5 ok Ember, how would you rate The Fifth Element?

6 Mila is nearly naked through most of the movie.  How could you rate it anything but awesome?  Seriously?  The Fifth Element is seriously awesomely bad in that epic kind of way.  I own it.  I own Megashark vs. Giant Octopus, too, though.  Don't judge me!

7 The movie was so awful that it was awfully good.

How can we not judge you when you admit to owning a movie that saps 50 IQ points everytime it's viewed.  I can accept the idea of a massive shary and octupus fighting and maybe destroying boats but leaping 30000 feet out of the water to swallow an airplane?  At that point I physically felt brain cells die.  And swimming at 500 knots but taking 30 seconds to go 1500 yds?  That doesn't quite compute.  At that point my small intestine attempted to climbing to my brain stem to strangle me and end my agony ala Vogon.

The appeal in Megashark vs. Giant Octopus is not that it is at all accurate or realistic.  The appeal is in its ridiculous and overwhelming cheese factor.  From the moment that two giant and unlikely creatures were instantly unfrozen with no harmful effects after however many millions of years to wreak havoc upon the seas, you knew you were in for a terrible, terrible flick.  I enjoyed it precisely because it is impossible to suspend your disbelief and even pretend that the premise is remotely possible. 

When it jumped out of the water to eat the airplane, I literally fell off the couch, I was laughing so hard. 

I'm a sucker for a completely improbable, totally underfunded, plot-less science fiction movie.  It's the same reason that I like most of the terrible SyFy movies out there.  They make me laugh.  What's not to like about something that makes you laugh?

exactly the same reason why I used to watch all the Godzilla (and other) bad Japanese sci-fi monster/horror flicks on saturday afternoons as a kid on WGN out of Chicago.

Loved 5th Element, laughed my ass off the entire movie (when I wasn't drooling over Milla's luscious body). Mmmmmm Milla..... what were we talking about?

10 Very funny post. But I prefer google on yahoo because google results are too close to the required keyword search. My work is related to search marketing and we usually use google. Google tracker system is best and todays all the new gadgets are used google's operating system Android. Which is the next main big step from google.
