Woohoo! Snakes on a Plane

[penguinman]

Is it just me, or is this the dumbest idea for a movie? Snakes on a plane? Are you kidding me? The only reason I'll go to see this movie is if I need a good laugh. This movie is gonna be so bad it's gonna be funny.

I just laughed at penguinman's post.

Anyway, Cee-Lo's song on the soundtrack was fucking awesome.

Wow...

The Movie was AMAZAING!!!

LY BAD

I don't know how they did it, but the movie was so bad that it was actualy entertaining.

Perhaps you haven't heard of Barbershop and then the much maligned sequel Barbershop 2.

To tell you the truth, I am all "fadded out" with this shit.

That was so much ridiculous fun. The audience really makes the movie. But if you're "in" and "get it" you will be in absolute love with the movie. Credit to Sam Jackson for giving it 100% in a movie nobody else would do.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's hilarious that people apparently expected this to be good, it was the off the wall premise and amazingly retarded plot that made it a hit on the internet, of course it's not good.

[ACCBiggz]

And Cloudy, that's even the point. If it weren't the point would Sam Jackson be playing into this everywhere he goes? So people who say, "It was so bad it was entertaining," I think they missed the point. At least imo.

[Cactus Drags]

Samuel was on Radio 2 and the whole thing was full of various ways of saying "Yes but why are you in this movie?" but to his credit he kept pushing it. Then he said Liverpool had a chance of winning the Premiership.

I saw him do a funny interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show about the movie. Yeah, Sam Jackson makes any movie look like it'll be the best damn movie ever made.

[DFF]

Actually... it is quite good. (Just got back from the cinema from seeing it).

[GoGo Yubari]

It's pretty camptacular, really. Pretty much just every plane disaster movie cliche and disaster movie stereotype (hey, look, an uptight British man! And there's a mother with a baby! Hi, token guy with actual fighting skills!) except with snakes, mixed together to produce a movie that certainly isn't good in the sense that it's an actual good movie, but is a lot of fun.

One of the most amusing parts to me was that the two most awesome methods of killing the snakes had nothing to do with Sam Jackson.

Those are stereotypes?

I would not have guessed a mother would have a baby! What a horrible stereotype

In crappy disaster movies? Yes. You always have the annoying, self-centered bastard who either gets what's coming to him or has an amazing life-changing revelation at some point in the movie, and there's always the woman with the kid for sympathy value.

EDIT: And maybe "stereotypes" is the wrong word, but what the fuck ever, I wrote that post within ten minutes of waking up from two hours of sleep.

Archetypes I think would be a better word. But I may be wrong. Just sort of certain character personas that are in all disaster flicks.

If one of those spectacular ways of getting rid of a snake doesn't envolve flushing them down the airplane toliet, then I'm not interested.

Stock characters is the term I think you may have been looking for, GoGo.

Both are applicable, I think.

And there are way more awesome ways to kill a snake in a plane than flushing them down the toilet, as this movie proves.
