SNAKES ON A PLANE:Great movie or the greatsest movie?

"I was wondering why people were interested/planning on seeing it." Not really....you simply asked if they were excited..I asked why they were/were not ;)

Do you watch the Colbert Report It was a joke. And besides this isnt a poll and it asks a different question.

1) The joke wasn't funny. Not to mention it's breaking some profanity rules.
2) I don't watch Colbert, but I saw Samuel L. Jackson on the Daily Show.
3) Does it matter if this was a poll or not? It asks the exact same question, and there's no point in discussing the movie here when there's another thread already talking about it.
 
Ok Im sorry and it does belong in chit chat. But I think Snakes on a plane is going to be such an awsome film that it deserves two different threads about it. :D
 
I think its going to be pathetic but people will like it because its so pathetic.....kinda like freddy vs jason it was stupid as hell and pathetic but people liked it

I'm inclined to believe the movie being pathetic was their goal. They're going to make money because of how terrible everyone knows it will be.
 
I'll just buy a nice lunch with the $8.50 I'll save by not going, and then go and hold my own snakes. :grin01:

Totally not interested...mostly because I think they could have thought a little bit longer and came up with a better title.

they had one and mr. l. jackson said he wouldn't star in it until they changed it to it's current title.........."Samuel L. Jackson only signed on for this film because of the title. It was later changed to "Pacific Air Flight 121", but Jackson demanded they reverse the change. "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."


and back on topic...........i can't wait for it to go away. :cool:
 
At least "Deep Blue Sea" was a little more cryptic. :rolleyes:

I wonder if Tom Cruise ever demanded the movie to be called "I Drive Racecars" instead of "Days of Thunder"? Or if Harrison Ford ever wanted the movie to be called "Indiana Jones: I'm Lookin' Around for Some Old Dusty [email protected] I Hate Snakes." :grin01:

So true.

I only wish that they could have added the MFs to the title. Ahh but a man can only dream.

If you don't like the title then purhaps your not familiar ir just don't like "camp". I expect the movie to be absolutly ridiculous. Of course I like movie's that don't take themselves too seriously. Unless the subject matter calls for it.

Sam Jackson+snakes on a plain=ready made cult classic. Which normally would fail miserably, but Sam Jackson tends to pull it off.

Pacific Air 121...BORING! Snakes on a Plain...Just stupid enough to work.

I personally think this movie will do more to malign snakes than any other movie around....not to mention the idiots that are going to go out and buy some snakes cuz they think they're cool. How many snake rescues are we going to have in the future?
 
Well, I was one of the excited, hyped-up people. I have 3 t-shirts. I saw it last night. It was absolutely awesome.

It doesn't take itself seriously, really. I thought it might give snakes a bad name (well, a worse name), but I really don't see that happening. The CGI is a bit cheesy, and the snakes are doing things they just can't be doing. I don't think a single person in the theater believes for a second that actual snakes would behave like that. I mean, some of it's pretty ridiculous. Heck, the whole premise is ridiculous. This isn't a snake version of Jaws. It's just...a bunch of CGI snakes leaping around and biting people in horrible places, and everyone cheers and laughs and cringes.

If anything, this may end up being good for snakes. I've heard that quite a few people have actually gotten interested in them, wanting to know more about the different species and find out the actual facts.

I give this movie an A--it's not an Oscar contender, but it may be the most fun you'll ever have at the movies.
