    Shark in Venice Eats Stephen Baldwin (we hope)

    By Larry Jankens on Tue, 06/16/2009 - 4:07pm | Arts & Entertainment

    I'm not sure what it is with B-class movies invovling sharks and washed-up/never-been actors that has them sweeping the internet this month, but with a trailer like the one from Shark In Venice, I'm not one to complain.  Much like my previous post on Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, the level of incredulity involved when watching the trailer is alarmingly awesome. 

    This movie involves a big @ss shark terrorizing the canal city of Venice.  If that is not enough of a plot line for  you, the director also includes Stephen Baldwin, everyone's favorite coattail riding uber-christian "I was in one good movie" Baldwin, seeking a treasure that is hidden in Venice.  A treasure that can only be accessed through... wait for it... THE WATER. 

    I got my money on the shark eating him.  At least I hope the shark wins.  Now that would be a happy ending.  I don't think this could possibly be as good as Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but really what could be?

    I got my money on the shark eating him.

    I'll take that bet. My money is on him being saved, at the last minute, by some sort of giant cephalopod, possibly one with eight legs.

    You are probably right.  Baldwin being eaten is wishful thinking on my part.  This movie looks pretty trite - they even have a Disney-esque-dark-skinned bad guy!

    Um, I give up. What's the "one good movie?"

    Larry. After winning DAGBEST DAGGONE DAGBLOG BLOG EVER with

             Mega-Shark

    what would possess you to float Stephen Turdwin into the room immediately afterward?

    What part of BEST EVER don't you understand? You're supposed to go away, gloat, rest on laurels, have surprisingly bad sex with waaaaay too thin models, and after about 6 months, start floating rumors about your "next project." Didn't you read the contest rules? I know I'D like to see Genghis having to drive your limo 'round Dagtown for a bit.

    Mega-Shark. Triumph of '09.

    quinn: 1) I am an idiot.  2) I have a thing for bad movies featuring sharks. 3) There is nothing surprising about me having bad sex.  Foot in mouth
