    My recent introduction into "vs" movies was "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus," and I have to say I am hungry for more. This looks spectacular. #dinocrocvssupergator

    Annalee, aren't you tired of cheaply-CGI'd giant predator movies following the same Jaws-derivative story arc? If it's not a snake or a dino-croc-o-saur, or a bear or a hybrid lemur-bat-landshark, they all use the same interchangeable characters:

    1) The dim-witted Polyanna mayor ignoring the evidence, lest it spoil the local vacation business development

    2) The unscrupulous industrialist or military scientist who causes the problem by dumping toxic chemicals in the water supply

    3) The unscrupulous real estate developer who covers up the evidence

    4) The hottie biologist spouting pseudo-scientific gibberish who ends up heroically saving the town / base or ship by teaming up with the only man who will listen:

    5) Sargent I-work-alone who has a problem with authority - but is the best of the best, and medal of honor winner almost booted out of the Special Forces / State Troopers / Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Lazy Writers.

    @BadUncle: I am not tired of it. Because a giant monster makes everything good. I would watch one of those annoying yogurt commercials with the women in yoga outfits widening their eyes freakishly as they check out the calories on the yogurt boxes if a dinocroc came into the picture and ate somebody. #dinocrocvssupergator

    I love #4... the guy is screaming and looking high above the head of the GIANT ALLIGATOR ABOUT TO BITE HIS HEAD OFF. It's like the director was all, ok, act scared, look up, scream. good.

    This makes it to DVD, and yet SHARK EYES vs. THE INTERNET is still stuck on the back burner.

    I recall being in church once, and during a sermon about Sheol and the afterlife, my brother leaned over and whispered, "You know, is it just me, or does this whole thing sound like a kickin' D&D adventure?" Instantly, everything became much more interesting... #giantmonsters

    Sometimes the creature in the bible sound like something my ten year old would describe.
