A new giant shark movie would be most welcome, especially if they can limit the CG as much as possibile. As for a director, anybody but Uwe Boll. I think Bay would have fun with it, but I would be worried he would add too much 'combat initiative' on the part of the humans. You don't fight a giant shark, you get as far away from it as possible. For all the nay-sayers, remember Jaws? C'mon, man!

That way if the film sucks, the Director just goes away and we can all pretend it never happened. I think the subtitle for it should be: MEG: Are you fucking kidding me? This is a joke, right?

'F' the all digital sharks. Make it tangible, more realistic. Deep Blue Sea was fun (and hilarious at times, which probably wasn't the intention) but digital sharks doing somersaults and back flips doesn't work. The image alone of MEG makes me pee myself a little. As for Hunter, let me chime in too. I've been thinking about his columns for about a month now, knowing that there are a lot of haters out there. I wouldn't go so far as to call him a 'hack', but he's definitely inconsistent. That said, I always read the headline first, then drop down just enough to see who wrote the column. If it's Peter, then it's a must read. If it's Hunter, I ponder a moment before heading in to read the rest of the column. I'd say if you hate him so much, don't read his articles. Peter's got him on the site for a reason and since Peter's not only the creator of the best movie news blog I've ever read not to mention all over the news these days, he knows what he obviously knows what he's doing. Maybe Peter should create a special Hunter Stephenson section where all haters/critics can go and vent before heading back to the better articles. (Oh, and Hunter, if you're reading this, the best article I've ever read of yours had to be your recollection of Tarantino. No joke, complete fanboy but utterly fantastic.)

Lets get rid of writers like Hunter in general. I mean who wants to read some film buff calling movies out for what they are? After all, that's what critics went to school for, right! For real though, if you care that much, here's an idea - start your own blog! I'm sure you'll generate a lot of hits! Tyler, dude I agree with you completely.

RobRod would be cool, as long as Sharkboy doesn't make an appearance. Plus, this sounds way cooler than Barbarella or a Jetsons flick. I would probably go with a genre fav director.
