- drum_bum, on 10/12/2007, -7/+75Because it's about ***** snakes on a ***** plane. Of course it isn't going to be good, no one expects it to be, not even the studio or Samuel L. Jackson. The quality of the movie is not what makes it so awesome.
- pantuky, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51One critic said that this movie is "A puzzling journey through the minds of two retarded 12 year old boys."
- synaesthesia, on 10/12/2007, -5/+40When i think of this movie, I think of fat chicks. There are the fat chicks who dont seem to realize they're fat, and lumber about in a t-shirt three sizes too small with SEXY THANG in glittery text across the chest. They drive you crazy in their refusal to achknowledge that they are, in fact, fat. Thats the average Hollywood movie. This movie, on the other hand, is the cool fat chick who knows she's fat but doesnt give a *****. She makes jokes about it and accepts it, making her a ***** of fun to be around.
Perhaps a terrible metaphor, but thats the best way I can think of to describe this movie and how it differs from the norm. - gothsquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29I'm thinking everyone that sees it on opening night already know that it's going to be a bad movie. Hell I'm going and its going to suck so hard it's awesome.
- RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24There's a difference between a bad movie and an intentionally bad movie. Pluto Nash = total ***** bad; Snakes on a Plane = self-aware bad.
Snakes is a "have a few laughs and marvel at the plot's ridiculousness" type of flick. There's probably no grandiose themes and other self-important, take ourselves too seriously *****. And I think it's cool that an A-list actor like Samuel L. doesn't think such films are below him. - chrisbtig, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22This usually means the movie is bad. In this case, it probably just means the studio doesn't need reviews because the online buzz is already so huge.
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18It's the title is the reason why everone wants to see.
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15*****, I think that's a great metaphor. I know exactly what you're talking about, because I work with the stupid fat chick, but I'm friends with the cool one.
- Smoktiludy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Someone has seen it. And he says it's good.
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23861 - mancat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13And through all of the jokes, on the inside she is always crying.
- ferrari_f50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Because the critics are all going to say it sucks, so why bother letting them see it first? Everyone who is going to see this movie has already decided upon it thanks to all the buzz in technology publications like Wired and all the blog posts already about it.
- steger, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14This is a tasty snake
- chrisbtig, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I meant actually bad... not, you know, Samuel Jackson-bad. :)
- cryptic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8this movie was so much more exciting 4 months ago.
but seriously, this just confirms my convinction that there is no movie. when you get into the theater, its just gonna be samuel l jackson, screaming, "GOTCHA *****, YOU REALLY THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA SEE A MOVIE ABOUT SNAKES ON A PLANE? FOOLS, GET THE ***** OUTTA HERE" - phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11awesome. we're being told about trends in contemporary cinema by a guy called "fetusface"
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Well, there's an easy way to explain this.
All of the positive reviews coming in all at once would surely crash the Rotten Tomatoes site. They're not doing the test screenings so that the glowing reviews can come in measured doses :) - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7dclowd9901: The correct response in this situation was:
"You were in college when cabin boy came out? That explains it: you're not in the target demographic"
It's like 40 year old bitching about pokemon. Of course you think it's stupid: IT'S A SHOW FOR 8 YEAR OLDS. - asurroca, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Yeah, good point Rich. You could tell from the very first trailer that this was an intentionally bad movie. The irony is that this throw-away might just become a cult classic just because of all the Internet buzz. I would crack up if this thing dethroned Pirates of the Carribean...
- aviazn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not having press screenings is standard practice for a movie a studio doesn't want to suffer from bad reviews, in this case, critics who might not be in on the joke. The "fan support" is just a cover, albeit a pretty good one as it gets the fan base even more reiled up.
- Deloession, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3One quick point...
If you have to explain the difference between and bad movie that's just bad (i.e. Gigli) and a bad movie that's good (i.e. pretty much anything starring Bruce Campbell) they may never understand. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5and birge?...........you dont even understand the trends in contemporary cinema as to why this will be a success.....you know nothing about popular comedy and the shift its taken during the last 6 years.
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Jesus, you were in college when Cabin Boy came out? No wonder you're so old and grumpy.
I, for one, have spirit, and laughter that still coarse through my veins, so I can't wait to see it. It's called "letting go." You should try it sometime, Old Man. - skoles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This movie is going to be this generations "Tremors". It was an intentionally made B movie that is a classic.
It will then go on to spawn 4 horrible direct-to-dvd sequels starting Alex Keaton's dad. - Adoozie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6FYI: You don't get it.
- TehKrut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3In March 2006 New Line Cinema, due to massive fan interest on the Internet, allowed for a 5 day reshoot to film new scenes to take the movie from PG-13 to a R-rated film (originally the film wrapped principal photography in September 2005). Among these additions is the Jackson character's line, "I want these ***** snakes off this ***** plane," a line that originated in an anticipatory internet parody of the movie.
- JasonQG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Every time we get a junk fax at work with a fax-back number, I fax the spammers the movie poster for "Snakes On a Plane." It amuses me every time.
- spenceman01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I saw a preview of Snakes on a Plane a few months ago while taking an online movie survey. It was really bad. It looked like one of those movies where the previews show absolutely all of the decent parts of the movie. You end up going to the movie and it sucks because they used all of their decent material in the previews and the rest of it sucks.
- wideawakewesley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll be watching it and all my friends will be watching it, why? Because it's snakes on a motherf*king plane!
- willclarke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2SNAKES. A PLANE. SNAKES ON A PLANE.
- thomasknowland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wonder if you can get a snakeskin wallet that says "Bad Mutha *****" on it.
- Jimgress, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I will now take down bets because I wager that snakes on a plane will easily win opening week. I'll even go on record to saying it'll win by over 15 million to second place.
- cybermonkey114, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I saw the preview in a theater and thought it was a joke until the end...
- thenutty1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3and FYI, Red Eye wasn't good....
- joaob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think everyone seems to be forgetting....
need I remind you?
about the ***** snakes...on the ***** plane....! - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The movie is going to be a spectacle for the eyes. It's going to be the biggest train wreck of a film the world has ever seen... and millions of people will be so traumatized, we won't be able to take our eyes off of it. Like any good disaster, we'll want to watch it over and over.
It's not even out yet and it's already called upon like a cult classic. - jj9000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2THIS.. is my boomstick.
- thenutty1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2and to be honest, that would be worth more to me than most of the movies coming out!
- hchris6360, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1works for me....
- phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I "up upped you"?
from all the way over here? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1its going to be the worst movie ever, and that is why i want to see it! i cant wake! snakes on a plane oh *****!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hopefully then we'll get more movies like this coming out
- batmang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I think everyone should go see it opening weekend, and by everyone i mean every man woman and child in the US. So we can break that record that PotC2 has just broke, man would disney be pissed.
- shelby1076, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I know this is all about ***** snakes on a ***** plane, but how much of a ***** abortion is this movie going to be?
I think the theater realizes this & doesn't want to lose all of the fake heat behinds this movie. - Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1PLANT! PLAAAAAAANT!! Oh wait you admitted it. Uh..
hmmm..
PLAAANT!!!!
heehee - kampfy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This movie is an excellent example of my friend's invention of "The Pacman Theory," where something becomes so much of something, that it effectively turns into the opposite of that thing. Examples:
Andy Dick, so gay he's straight
Charlize Theron, so hot she's mundane
Boondock Saints, so "underground" that it's just another mainstream movie
Snakes on a Plane, so bad it's good
etc. - gosix, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6@gothsquirrel
The only movies that "suck so hard it's awesome" star Bruce Campbell! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1seems to be a trend lately... don't let anyone see it before we release it. It also seems to be a trend that those movies bomb horribly. Well, maybe I should run out and put a bet down that this won't be in the top 5 opening weekend.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1EARLY SCREENING REVIEW:
http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23861
Reported inaccurate... - cody50, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1and there aint a Got Dam thing we can do about it.
- DangerMouse9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Snake! Snake! Snake!
It's the new Metal Gear movie, where's he's on the plane and eats the snakes on there as it's better than airline food. -
