    When I was asked to review the first “the Meg” movie, I told indiewire I wasn’t gonna see it sober, so they paid for my ticket and a $100 bar tab in addition to paying for my review 😂 https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/the-meg-shark-expert-review-1201993396/ 🦈🦑🧪

    I saw the Meg Ryan movie French Kiss in high school which led me to major in French, which allowed me to study abroad in Paris, which gave me the confidence to break up with my abusive high school/college boyfriend, which probably saved my life

    Watching The Meg w/@mzspress. Great example of a movie that knows what it is and commits to being that. It's a derivative 80s/90s summer blockbuster (Jaws + Jurassic Park) but sincere & with lots of likable characters & some genuinely clever setpieces and sight gags. Love the Meg's 1st appearance.

    What's your favorite corny or cliche movie trope/sub-genre? One that is unapologetically lacking in intellectual depth but you can't get enough of. Mine is Shark v Bikini. I cannot resist a shark movie, though I bailed out of all the Meg sequels. Too dumb even for me

    last thought of the night: there should be a big movie like The Meg and Meg 2 every single year. I want a gigantic ridiculous film in my favorite category of “Uh Oh That Animal Is Too Big” every single year forever. And Jason Statham has to be there but he can bring new friends every time

    The Jason Statham shark movie The Meg is one of the great films of all time because this image is how the director ended it followed by a Thai version of Toni Basil’s Hey Mickey

    Daddario should be getting all the Meg Foster parts. I think if she wanted to play Erika Kirk in the new Ari Aster movie she’d nail it, just add blonde hair extensions, she already has glacial pale blue eyes that can cut glass when she gets mad

    We finished watching The Meg last night. It was fine, as expected, a big shark chomping shit & a dude killing it & saving people. I noted that the film had one queer-coded character, a hacker played by the inimitable Ruby Rose. There was no textual evidence; just her haircut & flannel lol

    Trump Elon Regime can seem as big, voracious and vicious as a megalodon. But if you watch the Meg movie you know that attacking the soft underbelly works. Keep protesting the source of Elon's wealth. Reduce his power. Trump won't like him when he's a loser.

    The best J-Stat movie is whatever J-Stat movie you’re watching. But also the best J-Stat movie is The Meg. Because it’s about J-Stat grappling with his unacknowledged love for a giant shork. Ask @premeemohamed.com she knows.

    Well deserved. It was a great film and it greatly expands on the Kane Pixels lore (which is the superior lore imo - no hate to the MEG/Wiki community I like a lot that comes from there) I left the cinema with so many new questions and answers and can't wait to see what comes next.
