What do you do when you create a cinematic sensation? You make a sequel! The official title is: "Sharknado 2: The Second One". Which should clue us in that they're not going to take themselves too seriously. Or, if they do, they'll be so serious, it'll be hilarious. Yeah, it's kinda crazy how comedy works that way.

What's the best way to make a sequel? Figure out what worked in the previous movie; and do more of that; plus up the ante! So instead of one chainsaw, we have more, plus we have plenty more makeshift weapons, including big bats, wide shovels, handy circular saws, squirt gun flamethrowers, etc.; and instead of an LA beach community in peril, we have New York City! The New York City!




If you really want to make the sequel fun, add as many celebrities, former celebrities, or celebrity wannabes as you can find. Especially in a shark movie, 'cause there's nothing better than watching Kelly Ripa stomping on a hammerhead shark with her high heels; or Matt Lauer skewering one with an umbrella. 



And have fun with which actor/actress plays which role. I.e., Former Taxi star Judd Hirsch plays a taxi driver; and former Airplane! star Robert Hayes flies an airplane!

Best of all, add lots of surprises! If you don't think this movie had any surprises, ask Tara Reid if she needs a hand. Even Lady Liberty herself will tell you that heads will roll. And when the right woman comes along, I know where to find free engagement rings!



So kudos to the Sharknado cast and crew for doing the impossible, for making an even better movie than the previous one. Especially the writer Thunder Levin (the new William Shakespeare or Ernest Hemingway of shark movies)! He did everything right. Excellent character dynamics; enthralling back stories, etc. Where to next time? Paris? Moscow? Outer space? 

All The Best,

April Wexler: Fin, why aren't you having more fun with this?

Fin Shepard: Come on, April. Two of my friends were killed. I almost destroyed Los Angeles. And, oh, yeah... I got eaten by shark. How much fun do you think that was?

The Mayor: Well this is the Big Apple, Fin. When something bites us, we bite back.

Fin Shepard: I know you're scared. I'm scared too. They're sharks. They're scary. No one wants to get eaten. But I've been eaten. And I'm here to tell you it takes a lot more than to bring a good man down. A lot more that to bring a New Yorker down. [cuts a falling shark in half with a chainsawLet's go show them what it means to be a hero. Let's go show them what it means to be a New Yorker! Let's go kill some sharks!

More Sharknado 2: 
The Second One Fun

Check out my previous posts: 

The best way to avoid a shark attack, as Johnny Carson once said, is to stay in Kansas. 

But then again, in Kansas, youre in danger of being plagued by a Snakenado.

Or even a Gophernado

Although tonight marks the second time in less than a week that a Sharknado hit New York City, such events are typically quite rare. 

Most marine biologists and meteorologists alike say a Sharknado could never happen, but they also claim global warming’s responsible for cooler temperatures and often say it’s going to be sunny when it isn’t. 

Besides, my uncle died in a Whalicane

(A Whale-Hurricane is similar to a Sharknado; only the winds are much more intense; and the man-eating sea creatures are mammals, not fish, so it actually makes a lot more sense. Well, more sense than pet rocks; and everybody bought into those!) 

Yes, sadly, I saw Uncle Morty get smacked in the head by a whale’s tail, but everyone says it was a fluke

The Shark Hits the Fan Again


Sharknado 2: "Castnado" Behind the Scenes | Syfy

Check out my previous post: 

Relive The Magic and Awe! The Tragic and Saw! (Chainsaw, that is.) Or watch it all for the first time, if you missed the premiere on July 30. Sharknado 2: The Second One rages upon New York City again, this Saturday, August 2, 2014 C.E. at 7 pm (Eastern) on the Syfy Channel!


This Saturday
Now this shirt makes sense: 

I haven’t seen this phenomenon myself yet, because I promised some close friends we’d watch it together this weekend. We had so much fun watching the first one together that I didn’t want to ruin it by seeing it without them. 

And I don’t have cable. Crazy I know. Maybe that’s why I blog. 




Sharknado 2: The Second One must have been an amazing thrill ride though, because word on the street, or rather, word on the tweet, is #Sharknado2TheSecondOne garnered over a billion tweets! 

Which is awesome, but sadly, I think that’s more than World Peace. Maybe if Ellen would promote World Peace during the next Oscars. 



The Second One also skewered more viewers than Halle Berry’s show Extant. Which just goes to show you that categorically speaking, sawing airborne man-eating sharks in half is way cooler than giving birth to a space alien’s baby. 


Um, no offense to any space alien babies. Or the lovers thereof. And you know who you are!
