If someone has to know only one thing about me, it's usually the fact that I love sharks. I'm ridiculous about it and if someone is even remotely my friend, then they are well-equipped with this knowledge.

I extend this love of sharks to love of shark movies, and thus- love of BAD shark movies. At an exceptionally young and tender age, I was scarred by Jaws the movie (and the hand-me-down Jaws toy I had inherited from my brothers that I carried around with me everywhere I went). *

I'll give most shark movies a fighting chance, though I am frequently disappointed.
Raging Sharks was pitifully weak on actual sharks,
Shark Swarm is over two and a half hours long of Darryl Hannah, Armand Assante, and the guys from Dukes of Hazzard over-emoting, and
Shark Attack 3: Megalodon is overrated because it's turned into fangirl stroke material because the guy from Torchwood is in it.

That being said, there a number of movies that have not disappointed me. Jaws itself, obviously. And:



Many people scoff at me whenever I bring this up in conversations about good movies. But, genetically engineered tiger no wait, mako sharks with the intellience of dolphins, an underwater laboratory, Samuel L. Jackson, and motherfucking LL COOL J? Come on!

IT IS FINE CINEMA.

It is also a staple film in my household. The Engineer and I have watched it so many times, it's sheerly ridiculous. So, it only made sense to play the moustache game with it. We got a number of awesome shots out of this one; both of us were really surprised.

Right at the bat, we got a great shot of the main scientist looking concerned.

And then Samuel L. Jackson, looking like our friend, Ellis.

The Engineer and I have dubbed this type of shot the "Panco Villa".

I GOT EAT BY A MOTHERFUCKING SHARK

The Engineer kept gloating as we watched this, because he'd been the one to place the moustache that evening. I told him to shut it until we got one of the moustache on a shark.

Photobucket
A bit off, but the Engineer insisted.

Photobucket
Same here.

This is close to one of my personal favorite moustaches, the "John Waters".

Photobucket
Another Pancho Villa!

PhotobucketTHANK YOU, BABY JESUS.

Next up? Possibly Return of the Living Dead, because that's another of our go-to movies to watch when we're bored. We can't decide and it's always so spur of the moment when we decide to play. [livejournal.com profile] tony_s is coming over this weekend coming up, so maybe we'll get him to pick a movie, since he's the whole reason why we started doing this.

Well. That, and the fact that we are both nine-year-old nerdy kids at heart.
