In Mexico, I frequently see @. E.g. unid@s.
But Michael John Burkett, the NOFX frontman known as Fat Mike, who is also a partner in Fat Wreck Chords, says the current political atmosphere has had a chilling effect on the genre. “How politics are right now, it’s not good for punk rock,” he says. “A lot of bands are scared because of Trump and his followers. They love to hate and take revenge.”
No, just came up in the feed of a movie site I subscribe to, thought it might be of interest to someone here.

"Me Gusto"
You like yourself? That's nice. Always good to have a bit of self-love.
You wait and see how quickly these things are repurposed to go after a man in a dress reading a book within 100 yards of kids.
"Yes, but...."
- Listed on the New York Stock Exchange via a holding company in Luxembourg that issues American depositary receipts. (Who knows what percentage of its 'shares'/ADRs are held by U.S. investors?)
- Paid Joe Rogan US$100 million for his alt-right podcast.
- Donated $150,000 to President Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration ceremony, as well as hosted an inauguration-related brunch.
I heard they're gonna put Harriet Tubman on the $20 Epstein List.
That is the amount of resistance, not its efficacy. Come on, Data! You're better than this!
Health and safety's gone mad these days, I tell ya. A little mass killing never hurt anyone.

Just my personal ranking of the shark movies I watched for c/BMovieBonanza Shark Week 20th-27th July, 2025. All I cared about was entertainment value, not serious artistic merit.
My Shark Week 2025 Movie Ranking
| Title | Rating | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  |
Ninja vs Shark | 5 |
| 2 |  |
Meg 2: The Trench | 4.5 |
| 3 |  |
Under Paris | 4 |
| 4 |  |
Shark Night | 3.5 |
| 5 |  |
Santa Jaws | 2.5 |
| 6 |  |
Shark! | 2 |
| 7 |  |

WARNING:
- All these films (except maybe Santa Jaws, Meg 2, and Shark!) should not be viewed by children.
- Cocaine Shark and Narco Shark shoud not be viewed by anyone.
(I should probably downgrade Cocaine Shark's score to half or even a quarter of a shark, but that's the score I gave it in my original post so it stays.)
Elevator pitch
- Jaws à la française
Premise
The freakishly large shark that killed her husband in the middle of the Pacific is now in the middle of Paris. Will anyone believe her?

Opinion
Another one of the 'guilty pleasures' in the lists from sharkologists and Jaws fans.
A little bit of silliness, a little bit of Jaws rehashed. Good action above and below ground, through the spooky catacombs under Paris (hey, that's the title!) The CGI sharks are more convincing than in the other movies.
I even thought the film might make it all the way without a shark doing a Free Willy-style leap through the air, but I guess no shark movie director can resist the idea of airborne shark.
Shark Week Score: 4 out of 5 sharks.
Screenshots
(Some screenshots are low quality, because when I rewound on Netflix to take a screenshot, the image quality was reduced for a while before going back to normal.)
Our heroine meets our villain
I, too, use Shark Searcher for all my shark searching needs.
The mayor ain't gonna let any nonsense about sharks spoil ~~Fourth of July weekend~~ the International Triathlon!
Environmentalist activist gets her chance to bond with the shark. I'm sure the relationship will end well.
How many movies can give you a location with underwater pillars of skulls?
Sweet underwater decks. DROP THE BASS! (Actually part of the explosives set up to trap the sharks... although the idea of an underwater rave in shark-infested catacombs does intrigue me.)
That's... a lot of sharks.

Tis the Season to be Sharky
Not really, I just made that one up

Opinion
Just like a Hallmark movie, it's competent without being especially entertaining, grey Canadian skies and 99.9% white. And it's the shark movie you could watch with your parents or kids.
(Looking at the end credits, I see it was actually distributed by Sony Pictures Television and made in Louisiana. That explains the "TV family friendliness" and the absence of snow but not the absence of black folks.)
Provides a Christmasy twist on the final kill in Jaws, but succumbs to a family-friendly happy Xmas ending.
Shark Week Score: 2.5 out of 5 sharks. (I had to bump it up to respect the vast gulf between it and Cocaine Shark.)

Here comes Santa Jaws!
Bye bye, Pop Pop!
Hey Santa, if this is what happens to your staff, you need to improve your elf and safety.
Turns out, Santa Jaws is only vulnerable to Xmas-themed weapons.
Santa Jaws in all her glory
Bye bye, mom!
In a further Star Trek connection, the opening scene is shot in a location used as Starfleet Academy, the Japanese Garden at the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys, L.A.
See it in all its glory:

Other things have been shot there, see:
Watching all the films shot there could be a B Movie theme/season in itself. Quigley looks truly awful.
