Snakes on a Plane Thread!

[Kinetix]

I just got back from the 10pm screening of SoaP. It was a surprisingly empty theater. Some old asian man that looked very out of place was there. He walked out once a sex scene came on.:p

I thought the movie lived up to my expectations. I expected it to be more cheesy and campy though. I also had a theory that it was going to be a serious movie, and once they heard the intarweb jokes, they started marketing it as a joke. Fortunately this is not true, there's some pretty funny stuff that lets y ou know it wasn't supposed to be taken too seriously. Sam Jackon was pretty good.

I expected everything to be a bit wilder, but it was pretty good.

See it if you're into the culture of it, if you don't get it, don't see it.

7.5/10

Post your thoughts.

Move to the Cinema forum if you must.

One thing I must say is.... For The Love of God, see it with a FULL Theater. The Audience Participation was the best part. Everyone clapped, Laughed, Screamed and Quoted the ENTIRE movie, and I must say it was the most fun I've ever had at a Movie.

[Kinetix]

Yeah, we got clapping and laughing and cheering too. I'm sure it wouldve been better in downtown seattle where people were camping overnight.

I'm going to see it in a few hours. I'll give my review when I get back. Been looking forward to it every since I first heard about it last year. (I think it was only last year?)

[Masked Revenger]

Some friends of mine here are going to see it tonight. They bought like 400 rubber snakes they plan on throwing into the crowd during the movie. I wish I were going with just to see that. :)

You bet your ass I'll be there tonight. Happy SoaP Day to all! I said it on team chat and I guess the guy was living under a rock when I said that. :rolleyes:

Just in case my friend doesn't get up off his butt to update his new SoaP comic, here's the one we did a few months ago, can you name all the snakes?

It was fan-fucking-tastic. I loved it, want to see it again, hope there's a sequel(Snakes on a Train?). It lived up to and exceeded it's expectations.

[Xielos]

It was DEFINETLY better than everyone was guessing it would be. I loved it, and I went to the showing wearing my SoaP shirt too :D

Someone took a prank to far...

[Meltman]

I heard about that on the news. Is it wrong that I laughed my ass off?

[Blackbat]

Nah, it was sort of funny reading about it. Reading about it, is about as far as I would want to experience it though. That would be some scary shit if it had happened to me.

[Titomancer]

Why not just drop rubber snakes form the balcony? What ever happened to SAFE pranks? Where the most you had to worry about was the dangers associated with panic, not actual harm. Stupid kids.

[Sun-Scarab]

maybe if they defanged or whatever they do to snakes maybe,
but thats like a murder charge waiting to happen. hope they catch the guy & make him ( or her ) see a rainbow of pain with a broken bottle to the face.

I think in other movie theaters around the country, some people did just that. Threw rubber snakes at the crowd during a scary part of the movie. I guess these guys/girls just figured it would be more amusing to use real, deadly snakes. A real F'd up sense of humor if you ask me.

It's all fun and games until someone gets bit.

Snakes on a Plane

Well, the title certainly didn't lie. There were snakes. There was a plane. And they were on it.

That's about the best I can say about this movie, which seems somehow unintentionally funny and intentionally upsetting at the same time. Samuel L. Jackson plays Neville Flynn (because no one represents the Irish better than Sam Jackson), a special agent undertaking the most unfortunate duty of protecting a carefree witness to a murder on a plane trip from Hawaii to Los Angeles. Unbeknownst to our intripid heroes, the bad guys have smuggled hundreds of poisonous snakes onto the plane, and have sprayed enticing pheremones onto the leis given to each passenger as they board. Once the plane is in the air, the snakes are set free, and hilarity ensues.

You couldn't ask for a more cookie cutter cast of characters if you worked for Keebler. There's the cell phone-weilding blonde with a purse-sized chihuahua named "Mary Kate", there's the stuffy old English twit, there's the rap megastar with two bumbling bodyguards in tow, and the pilot that seems to somehow get away with blatant sexual harassment of the flight attendants. There isn't a single person on this flight worth rooting for, save for maybe Jackson, who really only seems to get his druthers toward the end when he speaks the now-famous line an Internet community pined for.

The flow of the story also does us no favors. The movie is completely dead in the water until the snakes show up, then it launches into superviolence and sillyness, complete with all manner of snakes chomping into male and female genetalia. It was very hard to keep track of all the plot holes and things that didn't make sense. Unsecured food trays zoom through the aisles (some are even on fire?). At one point, the surviving passengers inflate a lifeboat to block off the snakes, and it seems to fit just perfectly into the space it must fit (how lucky is that?). Early on, a trap door is opened in the cockpit of the plane, and is apparently never closed as other characters are free to plummet into it thoughout the coarse of the movie(you'd think someone would have made sure that wouldn't happen).

Let's not beat around the bush here. SoaP is horrible, but it's an atypical kind of horrible. It's not a good movie that's intentionally bad, nor is it a bad movie that's accidentally good. It's just unflitered, uncaring crap.

Thumbs down.

[Kinetix]

It was made to be horrible WA. Supposed to be a stupid, badly made B-Movie with a big budget.

I don't see how this is an excuse. A bad movie gets a bad review.

[Xielos]

Just because a movie is bad dosen't mean it isn't awesome. SoaP was bad, but it was AWESOME!!!

[RedSwitchblade]

Snakes on a tit!

Snakes in a doctor!

Snakes on snakes! (In the bathroom, if you know what I mean!)

I was the only person in the theater who, at random intervals, kept yelling at the screen "SUCK HIS ASS" when the black guy complained about his bite :P

*refrains from mentioning other things you said in the theater* :chuckle:

O_o You couldn't tell how tongue in cheek everything was?
