Spring Break Snark Attack - 
by B-side
Good news! It's Friday. And not just any Friday. It's officially the beginning of Viacom's Spring Break. Today, MTV begins its annual ode to flesh and promiscuity with its every campy and ever addictive Spring Break 2005. I plan to watch eagerly and hopefully return with some snarky nuggets.
But even more exciting is Viacom's other offering: SPRING BREAK SHARK ATTACK! Yes, the Tiffany Network (that's CBS for all you head scratchers) will be premiering its campfest this Sunday at 9 pm. Surely we know we're headed for disaster when a network better known for its elderly viewers decides to make a foray into the teen horror genre. Oh, it's already been broughten.
I plan to take in the whole event and provide a detailed recap by Monday. I haven't decided if I will liveblog or not. We'll just have to see how it goes.

I cannot wait for this! I have already set my tivo in case I sustain a head injury and forget it is on.
I think the best part is that they didn't go with one or two sharks...they went for like 50. That's how you can tell this is a high quality movie.

I almost fell my treadmill at the gym when I saw all those fake looking fins surrounding these lookalikes of cast of Laguna Beach. I kept waiting for the Enegizer Bunny to come out.

Each year I find myself looking forward to MTV's Spring Break less and less. It sure was a lot more fun to watch when I was 12.
And I'm definitely not going to watch that shark attack movie but something tells me that come Monday I will wish that I had.

Yeah! Please do the blog on this! I like to call this turning shit into sunshine. I might actually even watch this movie now.

Catie I counted at least 100 sharks in the preview, that's practically Oscar-worthy

It all started with Pearl Harbor - somewhere some CGI guy found the copy/paste command and went a little overboard. Now it's an epidemic.
Why have a fleet of ships in Troy when you can have gazillions?
The Lord of the Rings and Matrix movies both were copy/paste happy and now it's extending to tv.
Why have just one man-eating shark (ala Jaws) when you can have 1,000?

Retroqueen, that is amazing. I am getting more and more excited for the movie by the minute.
In more distasteful news, I read this morning that a shark in Australia ripped a snorkler in half. I couldn't help but think of the movie tonight.

God this is going to be so awsome!

UGH! The movie is starting late because whatever was on before 60 Minutes (probably sports) went long. I'm so upset...

Okay, it finally started... My thoughts so far:
- An attack in the first minute of the movie- fabulous.
- Attack on people with bad hair. Even better.
- Use of over protective parents/virgin...very nice.
- The acting is so bad that this could be softcore porn.
- Is that Crocodile Dundee?
- OMG is that the mom from Picket Fences?
- Good use of high school science class video underwater footage.
- Wait is that Chris Hardwick from Singled Out and that cruise ship dating show? No. Okay, false alarm.
- Did I just hear someone say "gettin' jiggy with it?" Oh my.
Too bad I have to stop watching soon because the second to last episode of Carnivale is on!

Predictions...
The virgin will lose it to the local kid that hates spring breakers and can't afford to go to college.
The cheating bf will get eaten by a shark.
