 At long, long last, All Snakes Day has arrived. So did the movie live up to the hype…? Okay, so it’s not the Grestest Movie Ever Made, as I have insisted it would be all this time, but I have never had that much fun at a movie in my life. The first ten minutes of the movie are bad, bad, bad. Bad acting, bad dialogue, painful exposition…but then the plane takes off, and suddenly the movie explodes into the craziest deathfest you’ll ever see. My favorite detail was that it had a nice dose of mean. Innocents get taken down in equal numbers as the sinners. Beautiful. I would also like to add, even for those of us with 93″ HDTV systems and who hate going to the movies, this is a movie that absolutely has to be seen in a theater, preferably late at night, with a rowdy crowd. When Samuel L. Jackson’s big line came, as gratuitous as it was, we yelled it out right along with him. The place went NUTS. Hot damn, was that fun. I can’t wait to see it again. It’s still early on the west coast, so I’m going to wait for a bit, but “Snakes” director David Ellis said for me to call him today and tell him what I thought of the movie. If someone can think of a better response than “SNAKES ON A PLANE, MOTHERFUCKER!”, I’m all ears. So let’s hear it, people. Did you see “Snakes on a Plane” last night? What did you think?

I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll take your pointed comment to heart and try to fit it in this weekend. Frankly, I don’t get what all the fuss is about - it seems like it’s just the perfect storm of camp. That said, I’m glad you had a good time.
I will tell you this, if you go into it not wanting to like it, you probably won’t like it. If you go to have a good time, you will have a great time.
I’ll probably wait for it to hit DVD, but will check it out nonetheless.
I do want to see it, but not for $18.
It’s worth it.
