it. Although I know it isn't real it sure was entertaining.

drive-in in the summer. As a kid, my friends and I loved the drive-in! I remember watching one movie - The Night of the Lepus about giant rabbits raising hell in a small town.

the guy had one of those hedge cutters and the shark swallowed him whole along with the cutter and a few minutes later he cut his way out of it and even managed to save the girl that was in there also. Now that took some imagination I must say. It sure would have been great at the drive in movie. Remember the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? That was really horrible.

I don't remember ever doing that, somehow. I know I was at the drive-in, but watching the movie wasn't why.

they couldn't stop referring to it (snarkily!)

They want $3.50 per pound for heirlooms at the grocery. Your picts of tomatoes are awesome!

I am having a rough year - so much rain, warm, humid = a plethora of diseases. It's always something with gardening!

for US$1.00. The plummies were US30 cents. We have a tomato glut right now

2.99 minimum....what types (non-hybrid) can you get? (the plain old hybrid red ones are around 1.50)

I am in Jamaica and I bought then from a St Elizabeth farmer at our regular vegetable market this morning - they are the tomato experts here. If we had gone downtown they are even cheaper right now.

I have some nice seedlings for later in the year. As Christmas approaches the prices will triple so we'll have our own.

she has a "farm" in the northwest side of chicago. i think it`s 17 or so blocks from the lake.

i seen every chezzy shark movie made....

The worst ones I've seen were Shark Week, and the two with Hulk Hogan's daughter in them.

was, of course, the geography...

Our heroes start out in a Santa Monica untouched by the forces of gentrification. From a laid-back, beachy dive along Santa Monica Pier they head to Beverly Hills (where the emergency services are "second to none&quot . They're trying to make it up the 405 Freeway to Van Nuys, which is where things really go off the rails.

Nevermind how ridiculously difficult it is to take cross the Sepulveda Pass. It's the shooting locations that drive us nuts. The characters, who are supposed to be near the 405, take a jaunt along the 6th Street Bridge downtown. We even get a view of the downtown skyline. The Hollywood sign ends up being ripped off its perch in Griffith Park and crashing right on top of a failed actor (one of the most disposable Angeleno stereotypes). One "shortcut" through the Sepulveda Pass and untelevised high-speed car chase later, they end up at their final destination: an airport in Van Nuys where our characters (quite literally) enter the belly of the beast.

Otherwise, scientifically accurate throughout!

I will watch a cheesy monster sci-fi movie and notice the improbability of snow capped mountains to the west of Los Angeles, say, and Mr. Dixie will counter with.." but vampires that can walk around in daylight, THAT did not bother you".

That part was unbelievable.

They've been all over it on BAD Radio in Dallas. I want to see it. Looks tantalizingly awesome.

do I detect another P1?

Love the Ticket!

I'm tired of "reality based" disaster movies!
Tacky needs to come back in!

Last night, the world went crazy with the release of SyFy's "Sharknado." Twitter blew up, everyone watched, worlds were rocked.

If you participated in this gluttonous viewing, you know that the film took place in Los Angeles. And as we soaked it all in, we couldn't help but notice that some of the ways our fair city was depicted were spot-on, while others were—to be kind—somewhat less than accurate. Here are the most pressing truths and lies:

I love bad scifi movie!

Hell, it made Chupacabra Versus the Alamo look Oscar-worthy.

I don't have cable, but I would DEFINITELY buy this!

It entertains me, but, its just not the same without a guy in a rubber suit.




Give me the big green fella any day.

I really do lol.

Corman's movies were silly and cheesy, but strangely smart as well.

That is the greatest word ever.

I'm sorry I gave up TV.

What producer raised his head from the humongous pile of cocaine it was buried in and said, "yes, I'll finance this film."?

I mean, I get the whole starving actor waiting tables hoping to be discovered thing. But really? When someone asks. "Hey man, we got a role for you in a Sci Fi channel move. Sharknado."

At that point, don't you have to ask yourself why you're an actor? I mean, there is no way this is coming off well. Sharknado. Glad I didn't make time to watch that.

Sharknado, you realize if we show it to the Guantanamo Bay prisoners we'll be accused of cruel and unusual punishment.

Sharknado is one of the great movies of all time. Can a TV movie win best picture?

Thank you, Vinnie! The kids were talking about this and I didn't understand. Now I do and want to watch.

Make it a party! Bring friends! Have drinks...and then watch Sharknado!

falls out of the helicopter and into the mouth of a great white. No one batted an eye, hardly. "Oh, too bad! Let's go home now!" And these geriatric folks were toting chain saws.

Then I changed the channel. I was too distressed over that girl falling into the mouth of a shark.

I better check to see when it plays again.
