LOL. I thought I had responded to that once before. :laugh:

Yeah, but in this one, he let us know how he's a big-time movie expert because he stocks the shelves at Trader Joes.

This movie is all about the new movie marketing experiment. Basically, it is being super-hyped to make a hundred million plus in one weekend, then disappear forever. The studio is not screening it for the press, so you can guarantee that it's terrible, and they gotta make their $35 million back somehow.
Basically, anyone who pays to see this movie is responsible for why Hollywood doesn't make good movies anymore. After all, why should they when they can hype low-budget bombs for blockbuster single weekend releases? So yeah, thanks for buying the hype...

I have no idea why anyone (even with the hype) would go see this film. It is brainless crap.

That's why. Why WOULDN'T you want to let go of reality for a few hours, and watch Samuel L. Muthafvckin' Jackson do what he does best...which is KILL stuff. Especially snakes. I HATE snakes. As well as TONS of gratutitous boob and gore.

 

[Sentinel]

Kill stuff, like people and snakes and boobs and stuff. That is cool.

Well 99% of movies lately just plain suck. This movie and "Crank" are returning to the good ol' days when movies sucked but were entertaining as well. Besides, there isn't anything else in the theaters to go see right now anyway.

 

[thescreensavers]

On a more important note 12 hours left for this

How exactly does one get hundreds of snakes, on to a plane? Without anyone noticing? How do they get from the hold(surely they were in there) into the cabin? How does Samuel motherfvckin Jackson get hold of a spear gun? Why don't they just land the plane and get off? How will they create moments of tension/suspense, where you can hear the snake's slither/hiss/etc when they're on a plane? I mean, surely that's noisy as hell? What possible story can there be other than:

"dum de dum, plane journey"
*Gratuitous Mile High Club boobage*
"Hissss"
"ZOMG SNAKES BBQ"
"I dare ya, I double dare you mother fvcker, say hiss one more goddamn time"
"hiss"
*Spear gun*
*Gratuitous boobage*
*Plane lands*
Directors Cut: *Gratuitous gunplay, more boobage*

Man it's gna be awesome.

friend's review that mirrors sentiments:

I went and saw the 10:00 showing of Snakes on a Plane. I had been anticipating this movie ever since I read the first story on it on the net back in February. I even bought the poster since it was so badass. Really, I didn?t expect it to live up to they hype at all. I was expecting some funny moments, but for the most part for it to be a terrible terrible film.

I may have been right, but my experience last night was awesome. This is one hell of a fun movie. There are a few things that you should know about this movie though before you venture off to go see it. You should not go see this movie if any of the following apply:

- You don?t know why the movie is called ?Snakes on a Plane?
- You don?t appreciate his royal badass, Sam Jackson
- You plan to see this by yourself on a Tuesday matinee with a 20% full theater
- You can only be entertained by films of quality that have a chance at an Oscar nomination
- You don?t know the one line in the movie to look forward to

Those are just a few things that if apply to you, I?d recommend not going to see this movie. Since within our group the majority of which were looking forward to an entertainingly bad movie AND everyone else at the theater was completely into the back-story and aura surrounding the release of this movie the environment at the theater was twice as good as any other movie that I?ve seen. If there hadn?t had been the constant chants, cheers, gasps, hisses and applause from the rest of the audience, the experience would not have been nearly as enjoyable. I think seeing Snakes on the opening night had more of an impact on the level of enjoyment I felt than say seeing a new Star Wars or Harry Potter movie would.

You have to know what to expect going in. This movie is TRYING to be that late night B level Sci-Fi, campy movie. It does a lot of things that in any other movie would get eye rolls but for Snakes, becomes an intentional laugh out loud funny moment. It succeeds in being a really really bad enjoyable movie without being too stupid. I didn?t pay $7.50 expecting to see a bunch of special effects, action sequences or a cinematic masterpieces. I wanted to get some pure entertainment and that?s what Snakes on a Plane delivered. This movie pulled off all the hype and was much better than I could have expected.

So I guess, based on this review, that I completely missed the point of this movie? It's intentionally supposed to be cheesy? Kind of like Napoleon Dynamite I guess - the first time I watched that, and then the credits started rolling at the end, I felt like someone had punched me in the face a few times. I had just kept waiting for something, anything to happen in the movie, but nothing ever did. And then it was over. Seeing it again, knowing that it was supposed to suck, it was funny.
Snakes on a Plane - same thing? It's a stupid premise designed to be that way, and thus is funny? So it's a comedy and not a drama/thriller movie?

Agree with all of this. Rowdy theatre plus booze helped. It was a pretty enjoyable experience, we were all laughing and expected nothing. (As I said in another thread.)

Go watch it with friends, and go with a huge audience. A few beers beforehand couldn't hurt.
