Ever since, it’s been clear that somebody, somewhere, needed to liveblog it, and that somebody was DailyEdge.ie.
The premise goes a little something like this:
When a freak hurricane swamps Los Angeles, nature’s deadliest killer rules sea, land, and air as thousands of sharks terrorise the waterlogged populace.
Well, as the poster says, “enough said”.
If you were watching, if you’ve seen it, or if you’ve just got something to say, tweet us @DailyEdge, @EmerTheScreamer, email emer@dailyedge.ie, or say hello in the comments section.
It’s almost time, so with no further ado, let’s meet the main characters.
Ian Ziering plays Fin (Geddit? Gas!). Before we go any further, we really should point out that Ian used to play Steve Sanders in Beverly Hills 90210.
Oh my giddy arse, it’s doing exactly what it says on the tin from the get go… sharks and a tornado.
The hashtag is #sharknado, by the way. Don’t forget to tweet us.
There’s a storm brewing while a business man negotiates a sale of a boatload of sharks.
The ship’s captain ominously says:
The sharks are the ones who should be afraid of us.
Oh you foolish, foolish man. You’re sure to be one of the first to go.
WE’VE HAD OUR FIRST SHARKNADO ATTACK!
We can’t be sure, but it would appear the businessman and the captain have been the first victims of Sharknado. That’s what they get for dodgy dealings.
Eye-an/Fin is hanging out on the beach (is that, is that an Australian accent he’s attempting) while Kevin McAllister’s dad downs a pint in a local bar.
A fetching young lady (Eye-an/Fin’s mot maybe) is working at the bar, and dismisses questions about a scar on her leg.
We’re not stupid though, we BET it’s shark-related.
There are sharks attacking Santa Monica pier!
Everyone, out of the water! Where’s Richard Dreyfuss when you need him?
What we have here is a mixture of footage filmed entirely in a car wash, Discovery Channel stock shots of sharks in a tank, and special effects created with the help of MS Paint.
If you’re a bit shook after half-an-hour, here are some less terrifying friends from the sea to cheer you up…
Eye-an/Fin, Nova the bar girl (who has her eye on Eye-an/Fin) and the “Australian” (the accent is CAT) have just watched Kevin McAllister’s dad come a cropper.
They appear to get over it quickly enough though. They truly are the most blasé people in the history of time.
Radio reports indicate that:
… sharks are swimming in the streets and falling from the sky.
They’ve arrived at April’s house.
She, her douche of a boyfriend, and Eye-an/Fin and April’s daughter Claudia (who is about 22 by the looks of things) seem oblivious to what’s going on, when suddenly…
The teacher from the school bus showed signs of going rogue, so he was killed off. He didn’t even get to be eaten by a shark. He was chopped in half by some falling debris instead.
EYE-AN IS SHOOTING SHARKS OUT OF THE SKY WITH A HANDGUN.
Matt and Nova are single handedly dropping bombs into the three tornados that are ravaging the city, with Eye-An, April and co are on foot, with chainsaws.
Australian guy is missing, presumed dead, after a shark attack.
We have so many feelings. We’ve lost George and his stool, school bus man, and now maybe Australian guy.
Well, that was surely the greatest ending to a film ever?
Matt and Nova are going to drop the lámh and lob the gob on each other, Eye-An and Tara Reid have had a messy snog, and we’ll always have the memory of George and his stool.
