Shades Of The Atomic Era: Mega Piranha
There can be no doubt that the fine folks at The Asylum are fans of the special breed of 50s era science fiction; an era in which the mysterious atom reigned supreme. So intrinsic to the conclusion of WWII, viagra a symbol of American dominance and ingenuity, healing and a portent of The Future the atom was also viewed with fear, and whole oeuvres were built around the concept of atomic energy run amok, creating vast, horrifying menageries of over-sized, irradiated monsters. What else but fanatical love for this bygone age could explain the existence of films like Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus or the soon to be classic Mega Piranha starring former pop icon Tiffany and former Brady Buncher Barry Williams? How else would one explain the decidedly sub-par visual effects except as a desire to retain the essence of those films? This, dear readers, is devotion. This is love. Now to patiently await the remake of Them!.

Ah joy. I’m sorry to say this entry got hacked somewhere in the RSS feed, and reads like drug spam. :(

Yep, you guys’ RSS feeds are now peppered with Viagra spam, which makes for some very strange reading. Glad to see it’s still ok on the main site!

The viagra online spam made the trailer far more tempting, I kept waiting for a terrible joke in it. (the trailer made up for the lack)

I can only hope that Asylum will continue to cast washed up 80’s girl-pop stars in their Mega-[Insert Ichthyoid of Choice] films. Deborah Gibson in Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, Tiffany in Mega Piranha. Who and what is next?

I think I’m in love! This is officially the dumbest thing I’ve seen all year. And just when I thought that nothing could top a giant shark snatching an airplane out of the sky…

I must see this. Maybe not entirely sober of course, but I will watch the whole thing. It would make for a great drinking game movie! Every time a mega piranha eats a person you take a shot. Each time it eats a helicopter or battleship you take two. Each time you remember the horror of Greg Brady doing it with Carol Brady you drink till you start singing Tiffany songs.
