We were instructed to say "BITCH!!!!" after everyone of sam j's commands.

i may end up seeing it one more time this week, and probably again during my first few days at college...

still need to see little miss sunshine and now that accepted movie. good times.

Saw it and definently got some good laughs.

Two thumbs up.

Little Miss Sunshine was freaking great. I saw it tonight with the amigos.

I think if I'm going to check Snakes on a Plane, I'll make someone else buy my ticket. :P

Snakes on a Plane would have been a crappy serious movie. But, it wasn't. Instead, it contained a bunch of situational and almost slapstick comedy (the guy in the restroom flailing around with the snake on him).

Before I saw this thread, I was highly opposed to seeing this movie. The next day after I read this, I skipped seeing Talladega Nights.

According to IMDB:
Talladega Nights: 6.6 stars
Snakes on a Plane: 8.4 stars

Is that not evidence enough?

If that 8.4 rating sticks, it'll be rated between 36-49 in the top 250 movies of all time. That's right next to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, To Kill a Mockingbird, Taxi Driver, and Se7en.

See it... in a theatre. But, bring the right attitude, bitch!

Saw it.....freakin awesome. FREAK-IN-AWE-SOME!

i was actually suprised that it got away with a 14A rating here. It seemed to be more of an R rating to me. But none the less it still kicked ass.

I can't believe the attention this movie is getting. I saw it tonight. There was no humor. If there was, it was black humor (not a racial term).

For months, this movie has been circulating the internet in all kinds of form as some golden comedy. But to me it seems like it was a 'serious action' movie and I think that's what the creators intended it to be.

I don't know, maybe I need a second viewing?

KillerGremlin · 08-26-2006, 05:54 AM

it was funny because it was serious...campy, good stuff.

This is up there with Manos: The Hands of Fate for one of the stupidest movies, yet still gaining a following.

DeathsHand · 08-27-2006, 07:28 PM

From 1st place to 8th place...
Go E-hype, go!

I saw this in over in the UK one day after it came out and it was just about as glorius as it could have been. Good deaths, lots of snakes, stupid characters, Red Bull, surfing, bad music....Absolutely everything this move should have been, it was. I love a move where people laugh and cheer together in the theater. One of the best movie going experiences in my life.

Definately the most fun you'll have in a theater this year up until this point...doubt it'll be topped later in the year either.

I really enjoyed it...but that's a crock. Right next to, among others, To Kill a Mockingbird? That's just not right...

No kidding, I agree with you. And, thankfully, that rating had dropped to a 7.8.

The reason why it got such a high rating was because the target audience was the internet-hypers. So, having had its roots in the internet, I suppose there was plenty of reason for it to have had an early high score (that is, before real viewers got a chance to post their opinion).

When I did check the detailed ratings, I saw polarized opinions (even when it was 8.4). Believe it or not, Snakes on a Plane consisted of mostly 10s and 1s.

But, I took it that this thread was joining the fake hype and making the movie feel large than life. I joined into the mood, enduced the fake "placebo" affect, of sorts, and actually enjoyed the movie to its fullest.

Sadly, the biggest realization was that, with the right motivation... almost any movie could be a Snakes on a Plane.
