May as well do a C/NC on it to get an official tally now that it is out...

Me: Not Crap!

Also, they're showing the Borat trailer before it, which is shit-spewingly hilarious.

NNNNNCCCCCCCC
It lived up to the hype!
When SJ said the line "enough is enough..." the theatre errupted in applause. Truly beautiful.

Not as terrible as it was made out to be. I can't imagine it being nearly as good without all of the heckling though. Everyone in the theatre was yelling about snakes and planes and whatnot.

A good time. I suggest bringing a flask as well.

i'm so fucked. it won't be shown here until october. i want my motherfuckin snakes on my motherfuckin plane!

Any movie based entirely on marketing, to the extent that scenes were re-shot to satisfy (amongst other things) the audiences requests for more nudity gets a firm CRAP from me.

Terrible in parts, but self-consciously and hilariously so. Actually really good in other parts.

Campy stupid fun - far exceeded my expectations - Not Crap.

The snakes! The plane!

This exceedingly beutiful forum first awakened me to the hype, so long ago it seems. For months I wait, breath bated, telling excitedly friends and strangers. Snakes on Plane! How can it be? I watch as the hype builds, as this wonderful thing creeps, slithers not unlike the snake, into the news, into the world. Snakes on a Plane. My friends and I are changed by the prospect of such a movie. One good friend, recently, is having pulled his wisdom teeth. During the operation, delerious and drugged, he cannot stop talking about "Snakes on a Motherfucking Plane!" They tell him "stop swearing."

Then it hits us. We say to ourselves "what day is it?" we check the internet. We see, holy jesus! Tonight! We scramble, get our tickets, we have to see the first showing in this eugene, oregon.

And then, come 10:01, we are there. My greatest friends by my side. It begins, and we cannot for seconds contain ourselves. The incredibility! We scream, we laugh, and we're not the only ones. The unity in the theater, united by SOAP. This movie, so good. It had SNAKE VISION.

I feel like I've crossed a hurdle in my life. Having seen SOAP, I can now pass into the next stage of my existence.



BTW: crap on that song at the end. and "Black snake moan?" WTF! Is Samuel L's remaining movie carreer going to be detirmined by SOAP? If so, NC.

What Hollywood movie isn't based on marketing? A movie is sold to the people that would want to see it. The fansites (snakesonablog.com and Electrical Audio Forum) took over. New Line, as of last week, had only spent 7% of it's entire marketing budget to promote the film. No critics saw the film, and there were no test screenings. Besides, what's wrong w/ boobs?

They may have added some scenes (a few seem tacked on), but that's nothing new.

I quite enjoyed the William Castle / Roger Corman style hype, and the film delivered. Complaints of shifty Hollywood virus marketing fall on deaf ears as I wish for MORE exploitation and gore. More snakes. More gore.

It may have been shot a little dark to look good at a Drive In, but I still hope to see it in a Drive In.

I know I'll see it again.
