Snakes on a Plane (no spoilers please!)

[Asmor]

The movie lacked a few key scenes.

[sblock]3. There should have been a boss snake. I mean, Arachnophobia had a boss spider. Aliens had a boss alien. Snakes on a Plane should've had a big, bad-ass snake that Samuel L. Jackson could have fought against in a dramatic conclusion while they were trying to land the plane. Maybe a two-headed snake.[/sblock]

Re: Your 3rd point, there kinda was. Granted, it's not exactly like you'd seem to want it, but there was a, uh, one of those that was much [first adjective you used to describe it]er than the rest.

Sorry, don't feel like putting it behind a spoiler thingie, so you get the crypto-reply.

SoaP is an entertaining movie. It's certainly not a good movie, meaning it's not well-written, full of compelling performances, et cetera, but it isn't supposed to be. Barely a dull moment was to be found, which is more than I can about just about everything else I've seen this summer, both in the theater and on DVD.

Well, if the excitement/dullness signal-to-noise ratio is your gauge of how good a movie is, I'd put SoaP head and soulders above any of the LotR movies.

Then again, after the first viewing I've found the LotR movies mind-numbingly dull and SoaP frankly kicked much booty.

I wonder what the possible sequel would be called.

Sequel suggestions:

More Snakes on the Mother F*#'g Plane.

The sequel shall be (drum roll please)

"Spiders on a Train"

I broke this one down and put it in the can last night. For all the publicity, it didn't do any better than it's pre-publicity expectations. The owner put it in the big theater it's first week expecting big crowds and they never appeared. It was in the smallest theater next week. "Barnyard" has had considerable more stamina (and was funnier.) SoaP may reach cult status someday, but I don't think it was over-the-top enough for that.

Fark's already done a photoshop for the SoaP sequel... My personal favorite? Drakes on a Crane!

I enjoyed Arachnophobia. This should be great.

How about:

Snakes with a Goat, Snakes on a Boat

Saw it tonight. I thought it was funny enough, but nothing special.

LOL!

What about snakes that were just born good, not like their eeeeevil reptilian brethren, and learn to use twin scimitars and then... wait... never mind.

Snakes are neutral.

Barnyard has "boy cows" with udders involved in a conflict over how to be macho (while running around with big udders), and then giving milk, and getting drunk on the milk from their boy cow udders. This has to be one of the dumbest things ever put into a movie, and immediately removes it from being considered "funny" in any way, shape, or form. Put simply, Barnyard is too horrible for words, and should be expunged from reality if at all possible.

Snakes on a Plane, on the other hand, is one of the greatest movies ever made. It has snakes. It has a plane. It has Samuel L. Jackson. It has such a completely predictable plot that you can tell who is going to die and who is going to live the instant they appear on screen. You know what is going to happen and when, and can yell along with the other movie goers because of this.
