Ooh I'll be seeing that!

afrikat · 10/05/2023 13:43

My husband has NO interest so I'll be going alone on opening night

Channel 5 had a highly cut version of the first one the other night which was rated PG so I let my 9 year old watch some 😍 Few more years then I can start dragging him along with me so all the shark / creature movies

GrouchyKiwi · 10/05/2023 15:35

I am so watching that.

I've been slowly turning DH into a Creature Feature Fan too; we now watch something suitably cheesy and terrible every New Year's Eve. He liked The Meg so I'm sure I can get him to go with me to the sequel. Grin

My partner RUINED the Meg for me by referring to the sharks as Barbara and Susan.
Ill be watching the sequel ALONE

I went to see Jaws when it first came out at a beach cinema.

It was shown with a 'B' film (as used to be in the olden days) called...

"Blue Water White Death"

This is hilarious and also so annoying. Grin Will you be going alone because your patio gained some underground interest?

Hah, yes, I've dug a Mariana Trench under there !

Have just watched 'The Shallows' and I can highly recommend it as a fine example of the genre.

The shark doesn't look remotely rubbery 😎

Scorchio84 · 10/05/2023 21:12

I came here to say thanks for the tip OP I just watched "Great White" & I didn't hate it! it will always be Jaws for me but this (GW) The Meg, Deep Blue Sea & The Shallows are pretty cool too 😎

I thought you guys would appreciate this cover 😂

How about 'Shark side of the Moon' for a really shit shark movie with crap special effects and even worse 'sharks'? Grin

Germans, inter-breeding you name it.....

they're going to take over the world if they can........

That looks highly plausible.

No wonder Jaws would be pissed off if he had a giant ape riding on his back.

GasPanic · 11/05/2023 14:47

Actually, if Jaws decided to do a dive in the middle of the sea surely the ape would be screwed. So not exactly a well thought out contest.

ExcaliburBaby · 12/05/2023 14:43

@afrikat ooh that cut version of The Meg sounds interesting. my and my dh can’t wait until our 9 year old is old enough to watch shark films so might check it out 😂

PatriciaHolm · 06/06/2023 11:58

Anyone else seen the new Meg 2 trailer?

It looks completely bonkers :-)

HomeB · 06/06/2023 12:18

Love that trailer. When is it out?!

EnjoyingTheSilence · 07/06/2023 07:54

Oh wow. Can’t wait! Looks terrible but I’ll be watching it!!!

Eaumyword · 08/06/2023 18:54

I like the look of it too!🤩

Binkybix · 17/06/2023 12:35

Just reporting in that I’ve persuaded DH that the movie tonight should be ‘47 metres down’! He wanted some fancy award winning drama. Nope. Looking forward to it :)

ExcaliburBaby · 03/08/2023 19:51

Who is going to watch The Meg 2 this weekend??? i’m going on Saturday night - very excited!!! 😂

afrikat · 03/08/2023 21:24

I go on holiday tomorrow otherwise I would be! Can't wait to see it!
