BARRY COURTER: Lisa, in case you missed them on the small screen, the Imax 3D Theater is offering you a chance to watch both “Sharknado” and “Sharknado 2: The Second One” this weekend. The Tennessee Aquarium is hosting Sharkfest on Friday night with shark tattoos and hairdos for kids (temporary, of course) and Dr. Bernie’s Travelin’ Shark Show with museum specimens on display.
On Saturday night, the theater is hosting #Sharknooga. They’ll show the movies and have munchables and cocktails, as well as experts on the weather and sharks to answer any question you’ve ever had about sharks or tornadoes and why the merging of the two makes for a perfect movie. Sounds like a good date night, so bring your chum. See what I did there?

LISA DENTON: Oh cod. Fish shtick. You’re krillin’ me.
Both nights sound like fun. I got up the other morning with a fin-tastic hairdo, so I’d love to see what an actual stylist with a handful of gel could come up with.
And you know there’s a third movie in the series now? “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No.” I haven’t actually watched all of any of them, but I think I’ve seen enough. Still, now that the franchise has become a cult classic, seeing the movies in the Imax auditorium could start something with audience participation like “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” We should suggest that, just for the halibut. (Sorry, but you started it. I just took the bait.)
