Idiots

I bet the media can make Hitler popular and Genghis Khan look like a saint...with the masses happy to follow like retarded sheep. This movie......It might be time for me to move to a small island and live in a cave away from all the mindless stupidity.

Well

Thats why its great.. its a stupid and absurd concept and thats what makes it fun. Thats why the name is perfect. No one goes to this film to see a serious action movie they are fans of it because its completely retarded and not ashamed to admit it. New Line really hit the mark when it decided to not take itself and the movie so seriously and instead catered to the fans who wanted something fun rather than another generic action/drama movie.

Incredulous!!!

What spin!
What a concept!
How clever!
****!!!

Dear Mr Samuel Jackson,
Did you ask your agent for this gig? Are you that desperate for a film or were you tricked into it with a bogus script? Come on. Just turn down the temperature on the aircraft. After 20 minutes, the snakes will be in hibernation from the cold. Done.
So what if you need a jacket. You a badass MF!

Hollywood is so desperate for movies that it spends more hyping them (social networking via MySpace? YouTube?) and pursuing dead pirates (MPAA vs dead grand parent) then actually hiring talented writers.

I'd only watch this, if it were free. No wait, I want free popcorn and a date with me too. Someone that won't comment or talk during the movie. Can you dig it?

Joining a long line of bizarre cult flicks...

Although I won't see SoaP - don't like snakes that much, like
"horror" movies even less - I recognize that SoaP arises from a
long genre of "impossible movies" involving things that tend to
repulse and disgust us. The movies "Arachnophobia" (the shot of
the spider crawling out of the mortician's nose has to be the
classic gross out scene in a non-slasher movie in the history of
film) and Tremors - my all time favorite cult film - come right to
mind.

There is no way that anyone can take this film seriously. Just like
no one could take Arachnophobia or Tremors seriously. I do
admit, it looks like SoaP is less of a "thrillomedy" than
Arachnophobia and involves a whole lot more real nasties than
Tremors, (as well as lacking Reba McIntyre in a staring role), But,
really, could anyone even think the premise of this movie is
plausible?

Then, again, if someone from the DHS or the TSA sees this
movie, we could be prohibited from carrying rubber snakes
onboard airlines for a long time... LOL

Cult flick?

I tend to enjoy a good cult movie from time to time, but this movie still looks awful to me. It doesn't even look interesting enough to laugh at.

[JeffPelline]

Huh?

Did anyone notice that you are running an article about the premier
of a movie next to an advertisment touting that same movie?

Some people just don't get it.

This isn't supposed to be a "good" film. It isn't supposed to be smart, thought provoking or logical in any sense. It's just supposed to be fun, in the purest form.

Much like any other fantasy film, it puts abstract ideas in unrealistic settings. However, this 'comedy' goes one step further by playing itself off as an action movie.

This film did/does what it should: Prove that movies aren't just an art form, they're entertainment too.

Saw it...

I went and saw this on opening night. Well worth the ticket price, just a bunch of fun to be had. Even some people who really didn't like the movie said they had fun going to see it.
