Now that's a big mutherfuckin' shark! Not only is that image ludicrously awesome, I'd wager it's a none-too-subtle nod to the Ray Harryhausen classic IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA (1955), only with that film's ginormous octopus (actually a "sextopus" because it was easier and cheaper to animate only six tentacles) being replaced with a shark the size of the U.S.S. Nimitz.
IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA (1955)The trailer for this loony anti-epic can be seen over at the Film School Rejects website, and I've already pre-ordered the mofo from Amazon, so I'll be back with a review as soon as possible. Yes, it'll most likely suck the big one, but so what? It's a FUCKING MEGA SHARK VERSUS A GIANT OCTOPUS!!! How could I not want to see that? The only way this could be improved is with the inclusion of the Sub-Mariner, but I won't push my luck.
Prince Namor the First of Atlantis, aka the Sub-Mariner: pissed off about not being included in MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS.

I think what I liked about Cloverfield was that it felt like a genuinely American giant monster flick instead of one attempting to capture the feel of the Japanese flicks.
That said, I like me some combatting monster mayhem, too, and I did indeed expose my 3-year-old to Ultraman after you told me the series was on DVD. She's only seen the first disc of season 1 so far, but she likes. Not as much as Spongebob and the Teen Titans, but she likes...
When I saw the trailer for that last night, I couldn't believe that I didn't see Lance Henrikson or any of the Baldwin brothers! It definitely is a must see.
You DID see The Host*, right? :)
-------------
* - The title, I suspect, being a sly pun at Korea's irritation at playing "host" to those obnoxious Americans for the last 50-something years.
Regarding whether I've seen THE HOST: nigga, please. You actually had to ask? I'm appalled.
nice package on namor, though.
