Fasten your seat belts: 'Snakes on a Plane' is a bumpy ride
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | August 18, 2006 | Bob Longino

Posted on 08/18/2006 12:03:48 PM PDT by Cecily

Here we are at "Snakes on a Plane" and ... what was that?

That over there. It moved. It looks like a wire, but it moved.

Hey, something almost touched that guy's foot.

It's a snake! I know it! They're coming now! Pick your feet up! They're here!

Mister Pilot, please stop hitting at that snake slithering over the control panel. Put that clip board down, sir. If you keep hitting at that snake something bad is going to happen. I'm sure of it.

Don't ... don't. If you don't stop, man, I'll come up to that movie screen and slap you all the way to China. I don't like snakes.

I knew it. He hit the air bag controls. They've dropped in the cabin and now all the snakes are loose!

I see a cobra! A rattler! They're here! They're everywhere! Dozens of 'em. They're in that woman's face. Oh, they bit that lady over there. Oh, they bit her again. Stop it! Stop it now!

Help me! Help me, Mace Windu! Save me, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi!

It's snakes on that ever-lovin' plane!

Oh, why do I have to be here? Why do I have to sit through this? I don't like snakes.

Oh, mama. They said there's gonna be 450 snakes in this movie! I lost count after 10. There's big ones, little ones, coiling ones, spitting ones, hissing ones. They're ridin' the drink cart down the aisle!

"Did you know that if a female wolf spider drops her egg sac her maternal instincts are so strong that she will pick up a rock or something in its place?"

Not if I smash her with a shovel, she won't!

Someone is already trying to turn this B-movie into the next Rocky Horror Picture Show. Go HERE for the participation script and HERE for the props you're supposed to bring.

I suspect someone at the studio put this together as it was up BEFORE the first showing today. Viral marketing...gotta love it.

Autumn is a nice time of year for creepy crawlies. The grasshoppers, mantises, walkingsticks, and spiders get really huge as egg-laying time comes.

There are few things more beautiful than a yellow-tailed garden spider, with its unique zig-gaz pattern in its web. Then there are the adorable red barn spiders (Aranaeas cavaticus) whose webs can be found on the eaves of every house at this time of year (this was the species of E.B. White's "Charlotte"). These spiders are nocturnal and hide during the day. Then there are those lovely micrathenas that dwell in the thickets (you can't go on a walk without getting the webs all over yourself).

I have seen wolf spiders so large the setae on their legs was irritating to the skin. ::sigh:: Fun times . . . fun times!

No doubt.

The studios aren't so hip as to let something go.

BUT film exploitation has been a part of the industry for 50 years.

The old pressbooks used to include tips to have 2 kids go out and "protest" the film saying "NOT ALL KIDS ARE LIKE THE ONES DEPICTED IN..."

But what about the spiders wrapping the guy up, or the geckos shutting that guy in the greenhouse and then fumigating the guy to death by breaking jugs of poison???

There's something vaguely and disturbingly Freudian about that poster . . .

The average person eats 8 spiders in their life, while sleeping.

H--how could you???

I'll have you know I've been bitten by wolf spiders only twice in my life, and one of those was a dry bite.

The rubber snakes thing has already happened, but everybody was in on it. The word is, go to this movie opening weekend if you want to see it MST3K-style, with the audience talking back, throwing rubber snakes, etc.

I have a feeling that SLJ takes care of business.

In 'Jackie Brown', SLJ was the epitome of Cool. At least I thought so.
