looks like all of the hype didn't measure up.

Snakes on a plane?

Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

No thanks.

Does anyone still go to the movies? The studios should be marketing these things for DVD home theater release and save themselves the trouble.

Maybe if the movie were more realistic. Like if the snakes were arabic.......

[Cinnamon]

where's that funny pic depicting the whole crew in a different movie called Bears in a Sub? LOL

It would be better if there was only one snake...Cobra Commander. It would be fun sitting next to him and lisssssssstening to him.

I wish there was a theater that would play the old classic movies on the big screen. I could count the number of movies I've gone to over the last ten years on one hand. All hollywood makes nowadays is crap.

It's a take off of an older movie, "Fer de Lance", starring David Jansen. Find it and you'll see the plot similarities.

Despite the media reviews and folks here at FR...

I genuinely liked Pirates of the Caribbean,DMC..

It, along with the silly but engaging RV..were relaxing, funny, silly, popcorn movies and managed to distract from the cares of the world for a few hours.

What's wrong with that!

Snakes are one of those animals that make me "uncomfortable." Whoever chose this name for this movie has to be a super-idiot!... and I doubt it will make too much money. They deserve it! :)

Yesterday I took a bag of peanut M&M's on a plane.

Yes, that's right...

SNACKS ON A PLANE!!!

[WFTR]

I'm too claustrophobic to fly anymore, but snakes wouldn't bother me at all. In fact, I have a little python crawling on my desk and keyboard as I type. She's a nice snake but a horrible typist. It's taking me about twice as much time as usual for everything that I type.

I saw it Friday. The "horror" element comes primarily from fast cuts in which a snake suddenly jumps out at one of the passengers and the biting/death scenes that explored extensively how many different ways snakebites can kill you.

Acting was decent for a fun action flick, except for the one line that Jackson purported wrote for the script and included in his contract -- that was wooden, poorly delivered, and despite having Jackson's trademark 1:3 profanity to word ratio, really didn't fit the rest of the dialog.

Suspension of disbelief: oftimes difficult. Particularly what happens to the male flight attendant at the end.

Overall, it's worth a matinee or rental.

Everybody stay calm, this is a thread hijack!

I see the disappointing performance of Snakes on a Plane as an analogue to the coming disappointing performance of the Democrats in the polls this fall.

Sure, everybody loves to talk about Snakes (... on a Plane!!!) but nobody wants to actually plunk down twenty bucks to see it. Similarly, everybody likes to talk about the anti-everything Democrats, but nobody wants to spend their vote on them when it counts. They are just too ridiculous to take seriously.

We are going to hear an awful lot of hype about the Donks this fall, but when the curtain swings closed, the voters are going to spend their votes wisely

This concludes our thread hijack. You are now free to go about your way.

If I hadn't had early rehearsal Saturday, I woulda gone!

I cannot WAIT to see this movie.
