Behold this delicious example of people Completely Missing The Point: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/08/20/4941696-piranha-3d-unfair-to-the-fish
I think I found a Mockbuster called Mega Piranha, from the brilliant minds behind Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus.
Holy crap this is actually getting good reviews.
I may have to take my friends to this for the Gloriously Stupid factor.
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~Madrugada80% Fresh? Damn, that is miles higher than I thought it would get.
That MSNB article is a tad silly.
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.Judging by the trailers, it knows it's cheesy, ridiculous, and pretty much there so we can see poor saps get killed in horrible ways, and revels in it. It doesn't look like it pretends that it's not. It just focuses on doing what it does in as fun a way as possible. I'm willing to bet that's why it got such high scores.
Lurker posting for the 1st time. Just got back from seeing it, and it's well worth your time. Revels in the cheesiness and shoutouts to both the original and other, similar movies, is filled to the brim with gore and sex, and is generally ridiculously awesome. Christopher Lloyd is the DEFINITION of a Large Ham.
Am I the only person excited to see it because it's directed by Alexandre Aja?
Because I'm okay with that.

I hate Brendan SteereSaw this yesterday. It's surprisingly watchable as long as you aren't expecting more than killer fish, skeletonized corpses, cheesy dialogue and gratuitous nudity.
The Death By Sex thing kind of bothers me, though.
I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.I must say, I just returned from the film, and it's good in a Bloody Hilarious way. The dialogue is awful in a cheesy way and you can tell that the film isn't taking itself seriously at all.
The 3D mangled phallus floating about was a bit much, though I speculate that shot alone was what motivated the ascention to 3D in the first place.
Inserts snarky comment here about lack of originality.
In an anime, I'll be the Tsundere Dark Magical Girl who likes purple MY own profile is actually HERE!Reasons why I want to see the sequel.
1. Possibly the best plot ever (piranha attack at a water park).
2. The director of Feast is involved.
3. David Hasselhoff and Gary Busey get to make fun of themselves.
4. Danielle Panabaker (hopefully she lives this time).

Looks like yet another Attack of the Killer Whatever or Piranha Problem film, doesn't it? Well, that's basically what it is. But it's the best So Bad, It's Good Three D Movie of its type, directed by the very notorious Alexandre Aja. It's got everything a summer blockbuster should have: Large Hams, a huge Mood Whiplash between spring break sex comedy and killer piranha gorefest, Fanservice galore, some Fan Disservice thrown in, High-Pressure Blood (and LOTS of it), and even some High Octane Nightmare Fuel for good measure. But it's all in good fun. The 3D is good, too. And the critics seem to love it, what with 82% positive reviews as of now
on Rotten Tomatoes.
Discuss.
