I'd love to find out if Muslims are scared of snakes. Arafat looked like a wet rat though.

It hasn't been previewed for critics. A sure sign of a dog.

Kept waiting for someone to use this title in reference to the London-to-America bombing plot. Still waiting...

"Snakes on a Plane" looks like a parody of a real scary movie.

I kind of think so, too. Or maybe, as others have noted, it just adds a bit of humor or it doesn't take itself too seriously, like in Gremlins. Either way, I'd love to see it, just having the inimitable Samuel L. Jackson in it makes it worth the ticket price, but I don't think I'm up for the shots of snakes lunging, from the audience point of view, full screen right in our faces, as I saw in a TV commercial. Shudder.

Maybe so, but I can't stand the movies critics give glowing reviews to. I am a horror/action/sci-fi fan so 3/4 of what I watch is crap anyhow. I think that I will love it.

Anyone remember the similar SNL skit, with cobras? Very funny. It was Tim Meadows and (I think) John Goodman. And cobras.

Alpacas On A Plane.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

Is there a Herpatologist on board?

A Herpatologist! What is it?

It's a person devoted to the study of amphibians and reptiles, but that's not important right now.

What a desperate idea for a movie!The pea brains of America will however spend their money and waste their time seeing it.

Well there are good horror films and there is junk. This seems like self parody so who know how it will play out.

Some of the more creative movies were made for the drive ins. Maybe they could sustain the film, and maybe they had to be more exploitive at times, but at least there was generally going to be some moment that was different than typical fare.

These days, the more creative horror films seem to be coming from other countries.

And if you want to be creeped out by crawling things. Nothing can match Hong Kong horror films like Centipede Horror (which includes scenes of a woman puking up live centipedes).

I'm intrigued by this film (2 for 1) slated for 2007:

Grind House (2007) Directed by Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino

I just read that it started as a bet at a bar in Hollywood - who could come up with the worst movie title. Then the idea took off on the internet.
