My real name is Andrew. I actually gave OKP a shoutout to the reporter but she neglected to mention it.

I want these muthafuckin snakes in my muthafuckin movie theater!

yo, you gonna be at the 10pm screening on thursday? i think's at the mann bruin, i think im gonna go. im ready for some snakes on a motherfuckin planee!

I'm down in Long Beach for the summer and got work til 6 Thursday and work again at 8 Friday morning, but SOAP is just too important to pass up. I'll definitely be up there Friday to enjoy some drinks and see SOAP (possibly for the second time), snake included.

Well, really I just wanna look good in my custom made snake suit.

see the jet with a Snakes On A Plane banner flying over Lake Michigan? I got teary eyed. I've definitely made plans with like 3 different groups to see this movie. My mom was trying to convince me against it...she just don't get it.

Yeah, Jeebus is good and all... but He isn't a cold-blooded reptile on a 747.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I'll still go see it though.

Undeniable

this is true, but i propose the following postulum:

HYPE = 10 MOVIE + ALCOHOL + WEED = 7.

and really, that's all i can say.

Just a truly excellent run of one sheets.

Only thing is I won't get to go to an advanced screening like I hoped :(

do you remember why I so famously said "Thank God for Marauder21"?

It was because people in GD were dissing SoaP and I called PTP in for reinforcements and you, like the knight in shining armor that you are, came in and blew the muthafuckas away.

I bow to you.

Bring a handful of rubber snakes and toss them into the crowd during the film. Mf'ers will flip out.

< snakes on a james

that shit was live as fuck.... people were bugging out... especially when Sam Jack said the infamous line....

someone threw a little yellow and red snake on me.... didnt catch me bugging out though.... i thought that shit was funny as hell.

i saw it with like 20 of my friends.... easily the best movie theater experience of my life....

So one of my boys plays in the LA Summer Ultimate league. If you've been following the Snakes on a Blog site, that is the league with the Snakes on a Disc frisbees. They had a contest to give away two tickets to the official premiere at Mann's Chinese on Thursday and my boy just happened to win it. Being that he doesn't have a girl, he offered the other ticket to the biggest SOAP fan that he knew. You know what that means.

WE GOT MUTHAFUCKIN SAMUEL L JACKSON IN THIS MUTHAFUCKIN THEATER!

I'll be there to represent OKP to the fullest. The only questions I have are, what type of snake do I bring, and do I go with the snake costume, or the plane? (Dressing as Sam Jack with the real Sam Jack in the house might be too risky)

I was planning on going to the 9:45 showing at the Cinerama. I just moved here a month ago and no anybody, and am still trying to convince my roommate to go. Is there any OKP group viewings planned? If so, let me know. If not, let's get something going.

i need to talk someone into it first. i just moved here this week.

>i need to talk someone into it first. i just moved here this
>week.

Just nosey...what brought you to Seattle?

i'm a teacher. from texas, no real public transportation there (though i almost took some jobsa). lived in philly, loved it, but i'm not fucking with philly schools anymore. lived in the bay, can't afford it AND take a job i love. ditto nyc. most of the rest of the country is either a swamp or frozen half the year (some both now with the global warming or natural cycles or whatever makes it 100 in saskatchewan). considered emigrating, but too far from fam.

have a couple friends here who recommended, can visit people along the coast/cali relatively easily.

the usual i suppose.

I was planning on going at 9:45 is someone wants to pick a meeting spot. Like I said, I'm new here and the only spot is my house. I plan on having a couple drinks at my place first and then walking to the cineplex. It's like a mile away though, so that might be too much walking for some. But we can meet around the theater or something. It doesn't matter to me, I think my roommate is in now, so I won't be going alone.

you seattle okps are beautiful. bravo...just...bravo *initiates slow clap*

News report on KCPQ/Fox 13 in Seattle. Group of people spent the nite outside the Cinerama on Wednesday nite.

Me & a couple buddies went 2 see Talladega Nites again before MFSoaMFP! takes over 4 who know how long. 1 dude had a snake skin sleeping bag. It was awesome.

The good people at www.dreadcentral.com serve up a review here. My favorite part of the review:

"and pilot David Koechner, who showed up thinking he was still playing his character from Anchorman."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

************ SPOILER WARNING! THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW ******************************************



























Imagine a day in the not so distant future when a child who has grown up loving the SciFi Channel is now a ridiculously rich man. One day he is bored and decides he will take a small chunk of his money and fund a SciFi original movie. Just think, one of those fantastic B-movies with an A-list cast of quality actors and top-notch special effects!! His choices were Brontosaurus Carnivore-us, Demon Priest, and a little project called... Snakes on a Plane. The rest is history.

Of course this isn’t the way the film actually got made, but it would explain a lot.

**WARNING: There was no freaking way to do this review without spilling a bit here and there, so while I’d love to be spoiler free, it’s just not going to happen. Read on at your own risk!!**

Snakes on a Plane begins with ultra slick crime boss Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson) caught in the act of being the quintessential Hollywood psycho villain. Since Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh are both retired, it’s up to Federal Agent Nelville Flynn (Jackson) to protect the witness to Kim’s evil deeds long enough for him to testify. So, how does a ruthless crime lord stop a witness, traveling from Hawaii to LA, from testifying against him? SNAKES ON A MUTHA FUCKIN’ PLANE!!! Sure, it’s the equivalent of circling the world westward to get from New Jersey to New York... and yeah, it’s a plot straight out the 60’s "Batman" TV show, but it sure is fun to watch.

I’d first like to tackle the originality of this movie concept as I’ve been told many times by people attached to the film that this has never been done before. While an f-bomb shouting Sam Jackson defending a plane full of people from killer snakes has not been done, the whole peril on a plane at the hands of Mother Nature has been covered. I’d like to introduce you to Flying Virus aka Killer Buzz staring Rutger Hauer and David Naughton (of American Werewolf fame). The scenario was something along the lines of bees infected with a virus that could wipe out humanity being transported on a plane. When the bees get loose, the passengers fight for their lives in the cramped confines of their metal death trap. They also face the reality that even if they land safely, they still can’t open the doors as the bees will get loose and destroy the world. So, not to point fingers at all, but I just have to give credit where credit is due. MUTHA FUCKIN BEES, MAN!

Snakes on a Plane (click to see it bigger)While I did joke that this very well could have been a SciFi original movie, I’m not kidding when I explain that the concept is very much in keeping with the SciFi tradition. It’s such a ridiculous concept that you go into the movie knowing full well what you are in for (much like anything shown on SciFi, though I keep hoping for the best.) Hopefully this will allow theatergoers to loosen their brain cells enough to get past the improbability and just have a good time… because this IS a great time!

You begin with your typical big budget American movie setup where you meet several characters in the space of 10 minutes. Some you instantly care for, others you’re meant to despise, while still others have you taking bets on how quickly they are going to bite the big one (pun fully intended.) This plays out like a trivia game. Pay attention, folks! There will be a quiz later on! All the little details during these sequences always pop up in some form later on. Then you recognize that fact and go "ahhhh"... which makes you feel smart, and somewhere the director is saying, "You see what I did right there?" Once you move out of the setup sequence, the plane takes off, and it seems like only seconds before all hell breaks loose. Again, I point to the 60’s "Batman" TV show because not even the Frank Gorshin Riddler, Cesar Romero Joker, and Burgess Meredith Pengiun COMBINED could have come up with a more dastardly plan for taking out Batman in mid-flight! Seriously, they would all be clapping right now at the mere suggestion. Unfortunately, Agent Flynn is not coincidentally equipped with snake repellent, and so the chaos begins.

Snakes pour from every orifice of the two-floor plane, and with no visible means of escape the passengers meet their super sticky, downright gory, and freakishly realistic deaths. Victims swell up, quiver, and die… curled up as if their muscles all tightened simultaneously. The date you bring to this film will eventually freak out or your money back. Pick a nice crowd to hear the little girls scream! That’s always fun.

At the recent San Diego Comic Con, I was surprised when director David R. Ellis unflinchingly referred to Snakes as a horror movie. I was told that a lot of the fright in this film doesn’t come from the inevitable snake strikes but rather the after-effects of some of the deadliest poisons on the planet. I’m happy to report that Mr. Ellis delivered on both counts! Now it is damn near impossible to watch the snakes go to work without thinking of Anaconda or Boa Vs. Python, but I think that is where the film becomes genius. I mean, did you ever think you’d sit in an actual theater to watch a movie like this? In my opinion, Ellis and company have pulled off the greatest coup of 2006. Not since Edward Scissorhands has someone taken such a ridiculous sounding premise and made a thoroughly enjoyable feature from it.

Snakes on a Plane (click to see it bigger)The key to believability in Snakes on a Plane lies solely in the hands of its actors. Among the cast you’ll find flight attendants Julianna Margulies (of "ER" and "Sopranos" fame) and Lin Shaye (of 2001 Maniacs), passengers Kenan Thompson ("Saturday Night Live, Kenan & Kel") and Rachel Blanchard (Without a Paddle, Road Trip), and pilot David Koechner, who showed up thinking he was still playing his character from Anchorman. If this assemblage of noticeable faces weren’t enough, you’ll find a slew of actors among the cast that will have you saying, "What was that guy from...?" or "Whose girlfriend did she play?" For me at least, these connections stuck when the snakes are let loose and served to raise the tension level as you have no clue who is going to be taken down next! Passengers run frantically swatting at snakes and fellow passengers alike to get themselves to what they perceive as safety. To their credit, no two actors played it the same way.

I shouldn’t even have to mention Sam Jackson, but I will because not only was he enjoyable and delivered the forever quotable "Get these MUTHA FUCKIN SNAKES OFF MY MUTHA FUCKIN PLANE!", but he hands in a performance that will make you believe the entire movie’s budget should go to him. The guy could have phoned this one in, but his range of emotions was fantastic. Sam Jackson delivers quips, reacts to terror, and saves the day with a level of intensity I haven’t seen since he played Jules in Pulp Fiction. "DO THEY HAVE SNAKES IN WHAT?!"

Snakes on a Plane delivers terror we haven’t seen in most modern horror films today. It’s not just the different ways a snake can creep up on you and deliver a bite, though that was pretty damn cool. It’s not just the FX guys going to town on some bubbling, twitching poison victims, though that did make me cringe more than once. It’s the "What If" factor thrown in. What happens to the guy in front when a bunch of people push down an aisle only made for single filing? What happens when a plane pitches and everything in the cabin comes loose? CARNAGE!! In reality, it wouldn’t just be the snakes you’d have to worry about.

Sure, Snakes on a Plane is about as subtle as opening the door to your house with a 50-lb. sledgehammer, but it never pretended to be. You have to respect that sort of honesty. This could have been the mysterious Pacific Air Flight 121. There is no mistaking a film called Snakes on a Plane. This is the swift kick in the ass this summer movie season has sorely needed.

Treos on a Plane
Posted Aug 17th 2006 6:50PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Movies, Z-Gadgets

In yet another non-traditional move, the charmers behind "Snakes on a Plane" are adding another interesting twist to the most strangely hyped movie of all time. This time, producers have decided to hand Treo's over to the bloggers who helped create the huge buzz around the slithering film.


The select group of web-heads will be given Treo's at the premiere of the Samuel L. Jackson action film, where they can share their take of the movie with the entire internet community almost immediately. The all-in-one Treo smartphone combines a phone, e-mail, messaging, web searching, MP3 playing capabilities and a camera ... the perfect device whether your blogging from the red-carpet ... or have an experience with real snakes on a plane! (maybe send a text to Sam?)

As long as Samuel L. Jackson doesn't yell "Get these !@#%!# Treo's off this red carpet" we're sure things will be fine. "Snakes on a Plane" premieres August 18th.

...and more.

I was right...it was a highly religious expreience.

I can't wait for round two...I'll try not to jump out of my seat when Sammy screams "I've had it with these motherfuckin snakes on this motherfuckin plane!"

Fucking brilliant.

They didn't let in a couple hundred contest winners and people who they had given away tickets to into their premiere.

That being said, I was able to get all the back home to Long Beach in time and see the movie in the first showing.

And it was completely fucking worth it.

Believe the hype.

of folks. I overheard this guy saying that you can't see this movie on DVD alone or in an empty theater. He also said this movie will be the new Rocky Horror in about 10 years, and I agreed with that as well. The crowd made this movie live as fuck. First of all, they were doing the wave before the movie started. Then, during the movie, whenever there was an exterior shot of the plane, the crowd let out a collective hiss. Shit was sweet. I had a great time thanks to the crowd.

And make no mistake, the movie is awful. I really hope I can get paid to write such a shitty script. But the snake killings (which is what you're going for) were def, the dialogue perfectly cheesy, and the action completely implausible. Flex held his own, I was surprised. Though I can imagine him having a couple of "notes" which probably prompted a couple of those "I'm sorry" scenes near the end. And of course his steadfast refusal to say any swear words other than "hell" in order to protect his image (sample line of dialogue: "Man, get the heck off me. Shoot, I need some air.") just added to the gleeful cheesiness.

Anyway, I'm expecting a HUGE opening. But if you see it, see it with a bunch of folks and hope the auditorium's sold out.

Also, Juliana Marguiles could so get it.

I went with 8 other friends and there ended up being only about 20 people in the theater, but everyone was determined to have a good time (cheering when we finally saw a peak of the snakes, counting down, cheering at certain lines).

Whenever things would go green to represent the snakes' p.o.v., we'd yell "SNAKEVISION!" and throw our hands in the air.

But yeah, I'm sure it was pretty crazy with the theaters that were packed.

It was good time regardless.

Unfortunately, I don't have a large group of friends interested in seeing it. lol

A movie called Snakes on a Plane had better be one of two things: So bad it's good or so good it's great. Darned if it isn't a little bit of both.

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
Looming large over all this is Jackson, who glowers and growls and acts the hero better than any actor out there.

The film failed to be frightening, suspenseful or dramatic but accidentally succeeded in being absolutely hilarious.

USA Today Claudia Puig
Cheesy, campy B-movie fun, thanks mostly to the cadre of cobras and their ilk and also to Jackson (probably the only actor alive who could pull off this save-the-day bad ass movie role).

50
Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Neither as good nor as bad as you'd hoped it would be: It's just a mediocre exploitation picture with an inspired premise (succinctly spelled out by its title), loads of gratuitous gore, a dash of equally gratuitous nudity and enough inanities to make you wonder if Ed Wood rose from the grave to serve as a creative consultant on the project.

ReelViews James Berardinelli
To an extent, Snakes on a Plane reminds me of "Eight Legged Freaks." It has the same kind of off-the-wall, don't-take-it-seriously comedic horror sensibility.

Variety Justin Chang
Snakes on a Plane is exactly the sort of tasteless, utterly depraved, no-nonsense sluts-and-guts extravaganza it was meant to be.

58
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
More potent than anything in Snakes on a Plane is the fantasy offscreen: that if enough people talk up their desire to see this film and, at the same time, take an overt delight in what an unabashed piece of junk it is, they will fuse with the hype, with the movie's mystique. They will not just watch Snakes on a Plane; they will own it.

50
Philadelphia Inquirer David Hiltbrand
This hotly anticipated film delivers on the premise of its celebrated title. But it offers little more in terms of suspense, originality or enjoyment. Mostly, it lays there on the screen like a big lazy boa.

Old news, I know. But very funny and appropriate to bring back on this day of days.

I read that when Chris Walken couldn't do the voiceover work for the Click website that they hired that guy to do it. True story.

The gay flight attendant was really straight! Man that movie was everything I could hope for and more.

Snakes biting titties, snakes biting dicks (no homo), a snake in an AIRSICK BAG(!), a snake crawling up a fat lady's dress and biting her in the eye, that huge ass snake, SNAKES ON CRACK . . . best fun summer flick since Freddy Vs. Jason or The Mummu (1999).

EDIT: Though I'm pissed they took out the "Allah don't give out Rolexes" line. That was gold.

this was a great movie, for what it was. i felt very fulfilled.

1. It was a lot more violent than I expected.

2. Snakevision. *sigh of content*

3. CAPTAIN CHAMP KIND! YESSSSSSSS

4. There's at least one death scene that I didn't see coming and I didn't think was deserved...I thought a couple of other people deserved to die before the people in this one scene...

i almost thought they were gonna make it. then they got bitten. over, and over, and over again

smh (in awe). all i could have expected. amazing. brilliant. mind numbing. the dialogue was perfect. the death scenes were hilarious. this movie made me jump out of my seat (i never do that).

definitely go see this (i dunno why i'm saying that, every OKP probably already did). Just make sure you see it with the right mentality, which is to have fun. I do agree you should see it with a group, I saw it with 5 other people and it was great. There is a chance in the near future i will see it with 30+ people. Next time I see it I'm definitely gonna be high as hell.

11/10

like wtf are they thinking showing us planes with no snakes? Thats not the flavor

but in conclusion, there were snakes, there were planes, there were snakes on the plane, it was everything i wanted

i definitely agree that you need to have a bit of a crowd to enjoy this movie more (although there wasn't a BIG crowd where i was). I hope it does well in the box office, and i think it will.

think about it, half of these people who got a lot of screen time are probably credited as "prissy girl w/ dog" or "asshole foreign guy." think thats kind of funny...


overall though, this was a GREAT movie for what it was. definitely didn't disappoint. a great summer violent/rediculousness-filled film.

some other thoughts:

-i felt like the line we had all been waiting for ("I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES!") was a bit anti-climatic. like at that point, the snakes had for the most part been taken care of, they just had a few more fuckers in the cockpit.

-"snakes on crack." SEQUEL!

-i agree w/ longo that i was surprised to see some people go.

-snake vision was hilarious

-amazing seeing champ in there (i don't think anyone knows his real name, btw). every line he said was james-bond-worthy sexual-innuendo-corny.

-what i loved about this movie is that it required very little backstory/ set-up for the characters and plot. all of the characters were just "there," goin home from hawaii. did they even say what eddie kim did? and when you saw those snakes first slithering around down there, you knew what was up.

Yeah, they should've had him say that right after Champ fell out of the cockpit dead. That would've been perfect. STill got a standing ovation by the audience by me though haha

>-amazing seeing champ in there (i don't think anyone knows his
>real name, btw). every line he said was james-bond-worthy
>sexual-innuendo-corny.

Even after being attacked and left for dead, he's still making off-color jokes to the flight attendants. THAT's dedication.

Champ was fucking awesome in this flick. "This plane'll go down faster than a Thai hooker" was genius. Everyone I saw it with was like, wtf? Also, I couldn't help adding a "whammy" to every scene he was in....*crawls out of cargo bay "cough, cough...Wh....Whammy"*

Literally.

Fun as HELL. (SPOILERS)






















That dog got it rough. Snakes biting nipples. Snakes biting dicks. Snake bombs. Get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane. Snakevision. Keenan saving the day. Sam Jack killin it from all sides. Sam Jack SURFING. 80 subplots. Goddamn genius. FUN FUN FUN.

I put that on my momma.I gotta go see it again with a gang of folks...again. Happy SOAPDAY bitches!

I don't think any movie in history has drawn a reaction like that, that alone cements it's place in history

...

I'm going to see it again

I stand by the review I'd written in my mind before I saw it: that movie made Citizen Kane look like a piece of shit. I watched it in a packed theatre, which (as others have said) really added to the experience. One of the people in the group I came with was this girl who was really drunk and loud, but even having her next to me shouting stupid shit throughout only made the movie better. The crowd had this insane energy, and just a great receptive attitude towards the film - once in a lifetime type of audience. At times the cheering, hissing, and laughter actually drowned out the dialogue onscreen (somehow I was able to piece together what was going on and follow the intricate plot nonetheless).

I'm not likely to see it again in the theatres this summer, even though I'm tempted to. My plan is to get the DVD and make SoaP an annual event. That way I'll never get burned out on it, and I'll be able to get hyped up for it every year, get people together, etc.

One other thought on the film: if that snake who bit the guy's dick doesn't get an Oscar, it'll be a travesty of Raging Bull or Goodfellas proportions!

>One other thought on the film: if that snake who bit the guy's
>dick doesn't get an Oscar, it'll be a travesty of Raging Bull

I hope I'm that eloquent when I go.

i was so, so, so wrong. THAT was what a summer movie should be. it was like bad boys 2, except much better and with far more snakes.

we are gonna see SO MANY movies that try to copy this blueprint

it's basically the first hit movie to rely almost entirely on internet/word-of-mouth marketing and not only listen to fan input but actually IMPLIMENT THEIR REQUESTS (!!!!) into the final movie. re-shoots are usually a death sentence for a movie, but the studio actually agreed to them with this flick cuz the fans demanded it.

i honestly can't think of another movie that is "owned" by the fans as much as this one is. and it looks like it's actually paying off.

i just think moviegoers are so fucking sick of bland, movie-by-committee shit...and this is such the opposite of that...

it's funny that a movie called "snakes on a plane" is the gonna be the one to finally change some shit in hollywood, but there it is...

Hollywood's gonna be doing a lot more heavy internet lurking.

I been thinking about that too. With this movie and Step it Up, the studios are going to bombard the internet sites like myspace, Aint it Cool, Chud, etc. with thousands of plants. They've already been doing it but now it will be to sickening degrees. Those sites will get paid.

*starts a movie/insider news site.*

We had motherfuckers breaking out into applause when SPOILER




















Kenan landed the motherfuckin' plane.

The last snake was awesome. They're wrapping shit up, and bam! snake in the door!

The anti-drug commentary was the best since "Reefer Madness" (smoke some pot on a plane, and you're only introducing snakes to the cabin)

The guy that played Sean will enter the Paul Walker Pantheon for bland action actors that people can make low budget flicks with.

The python. . . now that's what I'm talking about.

The staircase deaths were fucking harsh. As was the dude that got a high heel in the ear.


That movie is the shit. It delivered, and more!

i did not see those deaths coming. they had nothing to do with snakes and everything to do with random gore

And there are 3 SoaP songs on the soundtrack. The previously released Cobra Starship one (w/ video), but also one by Cee-Lo (called "Snakes On A Plane") and one by Captain Ahab ("Snakes On The Brain"). I think there should be an album with artists from every different genre making songs about SoaP. Then it would truly be "inspired by" SoaP.

'Snakes': Slithering Toward Mediocrity

By Stephen Hunter
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, August 19, 2006; Page C01

Silly me, I thought it was called " Snacks on a Plane." It was going to be a documentary about those delightful little unopenable steel-mesh bags they give you on flights; you know, the ones containing seven desiccated peanuts, two Rice Chex, a shoestring pretzel and 19 sunflower seeds, all sand-blasted with industrial-strength ceramic glaze salt. The trick is to serve it exactly 35 minutes before or 35 minutes after giving you your regulation three ounces of Diet Coke with melted ice.

But no, it turns out it's called " Snakes on a Plane," though the irony is that it really is about snacks on a plane. The snacks would be the crew and passengers of Pacific Flight 121, who are Vienna cocktail sausages for about 300 creepy, oozy, squiggly, slithery reptiles. (Question: Why would it be easier to smuggle 300 snakes aboard an airliner than one bomb?) They bite nearly everyone in all the predictable places that a 13-year-old would find "funny."

The movie's highest level of artistic expression was the ingenious Internet campaign that catapulted it to cultural phenom months before it even opened. The thing itself turns out to be pretty much an afterthought, cheesy and not very well worked out. Once the basic situation is defined -- people here, snakes there, snakes want to come in here, no place to run, no place to land and we're 40,000 feet over an ocean -- the movie just reiterates itself time and time again. Meanwhile, it traffics, most unfortunately, in the broadest sort of cultural cliche. Worse, the cast, with the exception of recognizable middle-tier star Samuel L. Jackson and third-tier names Julianna Margulies and Kenan Thompson, is mostly nondescript. Really, you'll see more attractive and talented people in the food court of any mall than most of the non-star people in this film.

The setup is marginally clever. In Hawaii, a young surfer dude (journeyman Nathan Phillips) cycling in the jungle comes across an unpleasant scene when he witnesses a nasty drug dealer execute (by baseball bat -- ugh!) a crusading prosecutor. Unfortunately, the gang sees him, identifies him and puts him on its hit list. In short enough time he signs up for FBI witness protection under the care of bull-goose macho agent No. 1, Neville Flynn (Jackson). Flynn's job is to get him back to the mainland to testify. Flynn, his partner and the dude commandeer the first class compartment of a jumbo redeye to LAX.

Somehow, the drug dealer's agents manage to smuggle the 300 scaly tubes of fanged death aboard, possibly by hiring Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" team. The whole thing is handled rather blurrily, but at a certain moment in the flight, the snakes are mechanically jostled from their slumber, spilled to the floor of the cargo compartment, fired up by lady-snake perfume sprayed in the air as part of the plot, and they start dropping out of the light sockets, crawling up the toilet (you know what that one's going to bite) and onto the flight deck.

As Shakespeare said, alarums and excursions follow. Most of the violence is merely glimpsed, and dabs of gore are fleeting. On the other hand, director David Ellis (his "Cellular" wasn't bad and was a lot more original than this) has a kind of addiction to the boo! mechanism, as snakes continually pop like jacks-in-the-box out of various compartments on the plane. Most appear to be animated somewhat crudely, although now and then there's a second-unit cut-away to what appears to be a real beasty doing that deal where it forms an "S" and seems to turn its bottom scales into tank treads and moves really fast.

Unfortunately, Ellis and the screenwriters have almost no imagination for human beings, much less believable verbal exchanges. Thus, the thing plays like a bargain-basement parody of the original "Airport," with a thin cross section of humanity running around as snakenip. Most of the female flight attendants are pretty and plucky, the male cabin crew is stupid and plucky. The gay flight attendant is effeminate but plucky. The FBI agent is bald but plucky, the surfer-dude-witness is cute but plucky. As for head flight attendant Margulies: She's just plucky. According to horror film conventions, beautiful, brainless hippies, fat, used-up middle-aged women, and snarky British millionaires who complain about being bumped out of first class cannot, will not and do not survive the ordeal.

No performance can be said to stand out, but it's difficult to stand out when you're the guy bitten in the neck and the guy next to you is bitten on the nose and the woman on the other side of you is bitten in the eye and all three of you are screaming madly and doing the hokeypokey until you cease to move yourselves about.

And, in any event, the snakes have all the lines.

Snakes on a Plane (106 minutes, at area theaters) is rated R for intense scenes of terror and violence, some gore, profanity and some nudity.

he wanted to smell his own farts, not sit with the rabble.

He's basically the British dude, in movie critic form.

To me, Stephen Hunter is the best film critic out there. And he is not one of these snobbish guys who writes off movies just because they're campy. Hell, he gave White Chicks a decent review when it came out. I don't think Hunter missed the point of the movie, I just think he decided to review the movie in a vacuum without all the hype and buzz.

His lead-in here was not funny at all though.

his gf showed up on the runway, no?

i don't know, he may have tried to ignore the hype and buzz, but when he did, he ignored the fact that the movie wasn't trying in the least to take itself seriously. i thought his insulting the cast was uncalled for, saying hot people in the mall food court can do better. c'mon. they did their job, they played their characters, and thats all that was asked of them. i forgot exactly where in the review, but i got the vibe that he was making fun of the fact that there was no real development, or how the whole snake thing was arranged, but that was unneccessary. you knew that snakes were gonna be on the plane, and set up for it was pretty arbitrary.

i just felt like that the tone he took was analyzing it for more than it was: a fun summer popcorn movie. the small peice in the WP weekend section on snakes' director i thought was better.

and what the fuck kind of adjective is "plucky?"

There are a decent amount of movies like that which don't take themselves too seriously. The difference is those go straight to DVD or late night cable. Most of what separates SoaP is the fact it's in wide release, which can be very significant or not significant at all depending on your POV. The food court thing may have been somewhat bad taste, but I think he's probably right.

Overall, I didn't really agree with him on this review but every Friday when I get the paper, the first thing I do is flip to the Stephen Hunter reviews (unless I already read them online at like 2 AM). I really feel like he's on another level than most and I was happy for him when he got the Pulitzer a few years back.

Brilliant

Snakes on a Soul Plane. ghyea.

And i must say it totally lived up to the hype for me. And like a lot of folks I went in expecting a bad movie but actually it was pretty damn good. Good action and suspense, and being that it was in a large theatre with a good amount of folks it was pretty hype in there. I loved it. Best $16.50 I spent on tickets in a long time.

http://popculturewastelands.blogspot.com/2006/08/wow-another-snakes-on-plane-blog-entry.html

Thumbs fucking UP. That is all.

During the trailers someone yelled out "Where the hell are the snakes?"
It was too easy, I had to shout "On the muthafuckin plane!" Easily the most interactive movies I've ever seen. Everyone said Sam Jack's now infamous line with him.

I don't know if this is gonna have Rocky Horror staying power though. There's nothing to dress up for, no catchy songs to sing along with.

But I'm definitely copping on DVD so I can watch it once a month until I die.

...

no?

yeah, i saw it on fri. afternoon and there were less than 10 ppl in the theater. i wish i had seen it in a full one.

You can dress as Captain Champ Kind
You can dress as a snake
you can dress as a plane
you can dress as a comely flight attendant
you can dress as Flex
you can dress as Eddie Kim
or a surfer
or the girl with the dog
or a kickboxer
or Troy
You can dress as the rapper dude from Gym Class Heroes (3 songs on the soundtrack)
You can dress as one of the kids


If anything it's too many people to dress as.

The god Damn snake bit the tittie.


Smh at black people bringing there little kids to see this. The part where the snake was in the ladies mouth this young kid starts to go off in the movie.


That was one of the best movies i've seen in a while

SOAP is easily the most fun I've had watching a movie all year.

The other part that was crucial was when dude got bit in the dick. Classic.

"There's a snake on my dick!"

SNAKES ON A DICK (no homo)

I didn't think it could get any better after that.

I didnt expect to enjoy it that much

I'll check in the toilet before pissing from now on.

i'm going to smoke the joint BEFORE airplane bathroom sex. not during.

Just in case.

I'm starting to love white frat boys. them dudes was into it bigtime. they apparently had seen it a few times cause they were yelling out lines. this is probably the only time I've been to a movie where you can shout during the whole movie and nobody gives a fuck! plus I have a morbid fear of snakes but I just can't get enough.



Whammy!!!

another "critic" that didn't get it.

What a shock -- 'Snakes' doesn't live up to the hype

August 18, 2006

BY RICHARD ROEPER Sun-Times Columnist

Maybe you've read a little something about this movie about snakes on a plane.

It's called "Snakes on a Plane."

The preordained catchphrase from the most buzzed-about title of the year - in many a year - is Samuel L. Jackson's "I've had it with these m----------- snakes on this m----------- plane!"

Not so fast.

Allow me to share some other, even more entertaining howlers from this violent, silly and ultimately unimaginative, glorified B-movie:

Is this an asp I see before me? Samuel L. Jackson might wonder. But no, it looks like box-office gold.

SNAKES ON A PLANE (R)

Critic's rating: **

Neville Flynn: Samuel L. Jackson
Sean Jones: Nathan Phillips
Eddie Kim: Byron Lawson
Claire: Julianna Margulies
Troy: Kenan Thompson
Harris: Bobby Cannavale

New Line Cinema presents a movie directed by David R. Ellis. Written by John Heffernan and Sebastian Gutierrez. Running time: 105 minutes. Rated R (for language, a scene of sexuality and drug use, and intense sequences of terror. At local theaters.

Pilot, crouching over a man who has just been dealt a bloody death by the as-yet-unseen snakes: "I think he's had a heart attack."

Jerky passenger, after tossing somebody else's pet to a giant snake to save his own skin: "Any one of you would have done the same!"

FBI agent on the plane, formulating a plan after approximately a MILLION snakes have been unleashed on a planeload of passengers: "We have to put a barrier between us and the snakes!"

FBI agent on the ground, hearing about a mobster's scheme to execute a government witness by planting dozens and dozens of poisonous snakes on his flight: "What kind of an insane plan is that!?"

Flight attendant, addressing the beleaguered and bloodied surviving passengers, most of whom have probably seen the original "Airplane!": "I can't believe I'm saying this, but does anybody here know how to fly a plane?"

Now that's what I call your campy entertainment.

To be sure, when Jackson delivered his anticipated-almost-to-the-point-of-saturation signature line about 90 minutes into the Thursday night I attended in Chicago ("Snakes" wasn't screened in advance for critics), about half the audience recited it with him and burst into applause - but there wasn't much joy in the moment. It felt obligatory.

And by then I was thoroughly snaked out.

There are only so many ways a snake can kill a passenger - snake to the neck, snake to the eye, snake to the bosom, snake to the crotch, snake down the throat - before it gets boring and kinda depressing.

Ditto for the ways in which one can kill a snake. You chop it, you squeeze it, you shoot it, you set fire to it, you read the screenplay to "Snakes on a Plane" to it, and it lapses into an irreversible coma.

Of course we're not supposed to expect anything more beyond going along for the ride on this would-be roller-coaster thriller, but the setup is beyond ludicrous, and it sucks some of the enjoyment from the flight before it even takes off. For nearly a year now, the fanboys and the Internet buzz-hounds and the mainstream media have been talking about the stupid genius of that sky-high concept of a title - but I don't remember seeing anything that explained exactly how and why those snakes came to nest on that particular plane.

Allow me.

The very bland Nathan Phillips plays Sean Jones, who has the bad luck to witness an execution carried out by super-evil gangster martial artist bad guy Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson). Jackson is FBI agent Nelville Flynn, who will be escorting Sean on a flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles.

Kim, of course, wants Jones dead. So he obtains an incredibly diverse collection of international killer snakes from a snake dealer who's based in Los Angeles. (How he gets those snakes from L.A. to Hawaii is never explained, but never mind that.)

Kim and his henchmen succeed in sneaking crate after crate of poisonous snakes onto the plane, even though the FBI has swept the plane, what with wanting to transport that key witness and all. Every passenger on the departing flight is given a lei as a lovely parting gift - but what they don't know is that those leis have been sprayed with pheromones - and once that flight is on its way, those pheromones will turn the snakes into crazed killers.

I know. It's a plan so simple it's BRILLIANT, brilliant, I tell you!

And let me tell you, these are incredibly smart snakes - capable of shorting out wires on the plane, camping out in overhead compartments until just the right moment, hiding in vomit bags and stalking people with the stealth and persistence of the shark in "Jaws." (They even have similar theme music.)

By the time the snakes start snaking their way through the plane, we've met a cabin filled cliched characters, including a flight attendant (Julianna Margulies) making her last trip before retiring to a career as a lawyer; a germaphobic rap star (Flex Alexander) and his soft-bodied, wisecracking sidekick/bodyguard (Kenan Thompson from "Saturday Night Live," who scores a few laughs); a socialite named Mercedes (Rachel Blanchard) with a yapping-dog-in-a-purse, and a horny pilot (David Koechner).

Plus the snakes. They come in all sizes, they hiss at great volumes, they have cartoonishly expressive faces - and we occasionally see things from their point of view as they stalk their prey. Who knew that snakes had nearly 20/20 vision, only it's all green-tinted, like the night vision used by Paris Hilton and her creepy boyfriend in her infamous sex video?

"Snakes on a Plane" isn't quite campy enough to be consistently funny and isn't scary enough to be a quality guilty pleasure. There are a few good gross-out moments, a couple of funny lines and some earnest performances from the cast, but without that title and a year's worth of Internet-fueled buzz, this would be just another forgettable, mildly entertaining, mid-August throwaway movie.

I had more fun with all the parodies on the Internet. "Snakes on a Train" was good and "Snakes on Jefferson Airplane" had its moments, but my personal favorite was "Snakes on Claire Danes."

---------------------
she made it. yup yup. she made it.
http://www.myspace.com/thievinstealberg

they didn't get an advance screening. they had to pay and sit in the audience with the rest of the folks.

I didn't see it with a packed crowd, heck I think there was only 30-40 people, sprinkled in the theatre. But you know what, I enjoyed the movie. It surpass my expectations 10 times. I never laughed at a horror style B movie so much in my life. I believe the best part for me, because it really came out of no where in a time of crisis, was when the planes lights went out inside and someone was yelled "ITS THE SNAKES" I laughed the longest in that part, I thought it was in the crowd but it was really in the movie. My summer truely started.

i wonder how well it has done?

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/

that's pretty damn dissapointing

$13Mil is a complete failure

See: Serenity

>See: Serenity

The box office estimates for Talladega and SoaP are so close, they could very well switch places by the time the final numbers are in. And, while the Snakes only made $13.85 million Friday through Sunday, it made an additional $1.4 million on Thursday midnight screenings, so its total is $15.25 million to date.

That said, I still think the movie has underperformed compared to the predictions people were making. And, in spite of the buzz, I suspect SoaP's numbers will fade fast, since most of us who were hyped about it turned out for the opening weekend already.

...it's not like this movie had any shot of making more than $15 mil total without the internet buzz. Either way it's gonna make a killing on DVD.

btw does anyone have a link for the SOAP blog/cartoon that an okp created? Thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
man up and take that pussy fam..
she in YO HOUSE and u letting her treat u like SoWhat man when she on ur couch kiss that bitch neck then try to get ur hands in them drawers, if she push u away evict that bitch.

The number is still low, but the Box Office Mojo chart was for the WEEKEND (Friday-Sunday) shows only, not factoring in the Thursday night screenings. Remember, they were Thursday night, 10pm screenings, not Thursday night-Friday morning 12:01 screenings, so they count as a seperate day.

>TOP STORY

'Snakes' slithers to top spot with $15.3 mil
'Talladega Nights' pulls into 2nd place

By Ben Fritz

In the end, it was just a normal thriller.

After months of buzz on the Internet and in the media, and weeks of speculation over how that buzz would translate into B.O., "Snakes on a Plane opened to $15.3 million. An estimated $1.4 million of that came from shows at 10 PM on Thursday night.

Gross is well below estimates that the hype could translate into a bow as high as the 30s and slightly below weekend tracking. But given the pic's budget estimated in the mid-30s, it's a perfectly decent opening that gives New Line a good shot at coming out in the black, especially if the cult following translates into big homevideo sales.

Buzz helped New Line book "Snakes" onto a very wide 3,555 playdates, where it averaged $4,290.

Samuel L. Jackson starrer was just a little ahead of "Talladega Nights." Sony's Will Ferrell comedy declined only 36% in its third frame, grossing $14.1 million and bringing its cume to $114.7 million.

Weekend's other opener, "Accepted," was tracking on par with "Snakes" but ended up well behind, coming in fourth place with a soft $10.1 million. U's college comedy had a per play average of $3,470 at 2,914 theaters.

"Little Miss Sunshine" broke into the top 10 thanks to a very healthy expansion from 153 to 691 theaters, where it had an average take of $8,213 and grossed $5.7 million, putting it in seventh place. Indie comedy's cume is $12.8 million.

Solid word-of-mouth seemed to help "World Trade Center," which fell only 42% on its second weekend, giving credence to Par's hopes the 9/11 drama will have a long run at the B.O. Pic grossed $10.8 million, making it no. 3, and has now cumed $45 million.

MGM-distribbed "Material Girls" didn't find much traction beyond its core tween girl demo, bowing to only $4.6 million. Hillary and Haylie Duff starrer averaged $3,062 at 1,509 theaters.

Par "Barnyard" is showing very strong legs after a so-so opening. Nickelodeon toon fell only 23% on its third weekend, bringing its cume up to $46 million.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" declined only 31% on its seventh weekend and became the first pic of the year to cross the $400 million domestic cume mark.

In limited release, Yari Film Group opened "The Illusionist" to a very strong $924,886 at 51 theaters, giving it a per play average of $18,135. Edward Norton starrer, which was distribbed by Alliance Atlantis in Canada, will expand to around 100 theaters on Friday and go wide on the Labor Day frame.

Fox Searchlight bowed "Trust the Man" to a weak $176,007 at 38 theaters in eight cities, averaging only $4,632 per play. Pic expands to between 125 and 150 theaters next weekend.

IFC opened Matt Dillon starrer "Factotum" to a decent $60,768 at six playdates, averaging $10,128 per.

I walk in Friday night to see the SoaP movie and as we walk in the door we get handed a script of things for us to yell out at certain times. Thatn and it said to throw things like rubber snakes and paper airplanes.

It was crazy. First of all you can't read the damn thing in the dark and second of all how was anyone supposed to know to bring rubber snakes and paper for airplanes.

Went to the 10:40pm show in Orlando and there was only about 30 people in the theater. It was fun though. Everybody was yelling shit out throughout the whole movie.

hahah!

Yea I can see a Rocky Horror resurgence with this movie.

This movie was absolute hilarity.

The in theater experience is half of it so see it in the theater
