Hollywood: Cocaine Shark coming to a theater near you!

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel like there's an opportunity to work Great White into the title, but I haven't had enough coffee to work it out yet lol

Great White Fury: A Shark Tale (?)

[–] dismalnow@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Cocaine dropped in water off coast of Florida could turn Great White into Mötley Crüe.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Make it Cocaine Sharknado and you'll really get butts into seats at the theater.

New sequel to cocaine bear drops soon

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Sure, I can do that. Here is a revised version of the script with the BWAAAAAAs placed more strategically:

From the makers of Cocaine Bear and Sharknado

In a world where sharks are already terrifying,

one drug lord decided to make them even worse.

[Cut to a shot of a drug cartel dumping a shipment of cocaine into the ocean.]

The cocaine is eaten by a school of sharks,

[Cut to a shot of the sharks swimming through the ocean, their bodies glowing with cocaine.]

and they become addicted.

[Cut to a shot of the sharks attacking a boat, their teeth dripping with blood.]

BWAAAAAA

Now, these bloodthirsty sharks are on the loose,

[Cut to a shot of the sharks swimming up the Hudson River, their fins cutting through the water.]

and they're looking for their next fix.

[Cut to a shot of the sharks attacking a group of people on a pier, their jaws snapping shut.]

BWAAAAAA

There's only one thing that can stop them:

[Cut to a shot of a team of shark hunters getting ready to board a boat.]

a team of elite shark hunters.

[Cut to a shot of the shark hunters fighting off the sharks, their guns blazing.]

BWAAAAAA

But even they may not be enough to save the world

[Cut to a shot of the sharks swimming towards the Statue of Liberty, their fins cutting through the water.]

from these COCAINE SHARKS.

[Cut to a shot of the sharks jumping out of the water and crashing into the Statue of Liberty, knocking it over.]

BWAAAAAA

BWAAAAAA

BWAAAAAA

Coming soon to a theater near you.

Rated R.

I hope you like this version of the script! I spaced out the BWAAAAAAs more evenly throughout the script, to build suspense and excitement at key moments.

This sounds like some hyped up speculated bullshit…

“But he said he hopes the TV programme, due to air later this month”

Oh yep, there it is.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I mean, this just feels like Florida on any random day.

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

F to doubt. Coke bales been floating in our waters here in FL for close to 60 years. This whole article is stupid, no shit the sharks liked the baitball they put in the bale... you think it's gonna wanna swallow a block of something that tastes like gasoline?
