Discuss Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus

"The" scene.

Don't pretend you don't know the one I'm talking about.

Mega Shark is so hungry (and evidently unable to find anything to eat in the entire OCEAN) that he decides to jump out of the water... 40,000 feet into the stratosphere, and EAT AN AIRPLANE. An airplane flying at a cruising speed of 500mph. In the SKY.

But wait, it gets better.

The excellent screenwriters, sensing that the audience needs to feel sympathy for the sharkbait passengers, decide to cleverly manipulate our emotions and create an emotional connection. Ah but the conundrum is the scene only gives them 15 seconds to create said emotional connection between the audience and the victims-to-be. Orson Welles himself would be flummoxed. It can't be done!

But see, that's why this is Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, and he's just a chump named Orson Welles. Here's how the screenwriters--masters of tongue and pen--brilliantly solve the problem. Enter: Random Passenger Who Has No Other Scenes (hereafter referred to as R.P.W.H.N.O.S.).

R.P.W.H.N.O.S.: "I'm getting married in two days."

STEWARDESS: "You'll be fine."

R.P.W.H.N.O.S.: (looks out the window and sees Mega Shark flying across the sky) "Holy shit!!"

And, well, the rest is cinema history. Can we get a slow clap, please.
