Default Snakes on a Plane Thread!

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.

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.

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?)

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.

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.
