Default OT: Snakes on a Plane

I just went and saw it. I was doubtful that it was gonna be any good. Let me tell you what it was the best damn movie I have seen in a long time. Damn Good.

I wanted to see it as soon as I heard about it. It sounds so bad that is ends up being good.

I can't believe anything hyped so heavily could be any good. I didn't hear a single review of it before it was released (usually a sign that the makers know it sucks and don't want people to know before they've paid their money.)

I can't believe this movie would be any good at all. I've seen a lot of previews over the past 10 days, and to be honest, it looks utterly moronic in both premise and execution. I don't have any desire to see it whatsoever, based solely upon previews.

I would have to say that you have totally and utterly missed the point of the previews and why people would go and see this movie: because it is trying to be moronic and satirizing in certain ways.

Myself, I want to go see this movie, just to see Samuel L. Jackson's performance.

IF you come up with a funny design for a t-shirt or mug or something for Snakes on a Plane.. CafePress made a deal so that its users can use the name of the film in designs and advertising. There is a ton of designs showing up already as they all try to outdo each other (and grab some bucks while its hot)

No, the point was not missed. Movies such as these I usually find to suceed more at being moronic than satirizing, and the form of moronism they choose isn't the kind I find interesting/amusing/whatever. Just not my kind of movie.

The name just yells CHEAP MOVIE to me. I would have changed the name to something more B'ish than cheapish.

Snake Air
Air Snakes
Passinger Venom
Venom Air
Air Plane Python

I recall when I was a kid seeing a documentary where a documentary taker was captured by a python, on film, and was slowly squeezed to death and consumed, on film. The sounds he made as he was slowly being killed have stayed with me to this day. The look of absolute terror on his faces could not be fogotten by even most calus of us.

While I doubt I will go see this movie, I might rent it some day.
