    Sometimes, just sometimes, the headline you mistakingly read would actually be more interesting than the actual article.


    What I read was "Monster Trucks in Time." Sure it sounds like a USA Up All Night movie, but dammit, I would watch it. It might even be a Cadillacs and Dinosaurs spinoff!

    Seriously, though, while it's not great, I found it worth watching during the summer, waiting for Eureka, etc.

    OK now im slightly pissed. You tease us here in the UK with images of Mega sharks eating bridges. Yet thanks to this bollocks craze that has started everywhere (that people on the net dont think the UK needs to see anything). I cant se giant fuckin animals scraping. Its a crying shame. So many of my favs on youtube have suddenly become unavailable. Its not my fault I like American rock music better than the UKs. But i'll be damned if I dont get my daily Rock Feed. And balls to UK streamed videos, most havent heard of the bands I listen to. Oh well....I want to watch my Mega shark attacking a Mega Octopus. i09, please make it happen!!!

    You say it's awesome, then that it looks like Cloverfield and Predator.

    What would be awesome is a creature that doesn't look like every other movie alien, grabboid, and Blade vampire for the past decade.

    I swear, they spent about a week on production design for this movie.
