The official comic strip they gave out is 10x better. :p I wish I had a scanner, but then again, it's probably already online. :) It's done similiarly to the awesome poster.

So, who got the rubber snakes and who didn't? We did, and we're bot that big of a city. Toronto did. I'm wondering if they only give them out at the premiere, or at every showing?

EDIT ---
Merchandise shots!

the best thing aout SOAP is that it proved everyone wrong. once everyone heard that SOAP wasn't going to have advance screenings, everyone thought that it was going to bomb and be a horrible horrible film, becuase usally when a movie isn't screened in advanced it is met with horrible reviews, ie. ultraviolet.
but SOAP is fresh with a rating of 62% percent on rotten tomatoes.
god bless it.

i wonder what it would of been like if eli roth directed it? because on his myspace page in one of his blogs he talk about how he passed it up, cuz he thought he sounded stupid.

After the internet buzz, is the astounding revelation "It's Snakes... on a Plane!" starting to wear thin yet? Yeah - we get it.

Also, are those ghastly CGI serpents I see before me?

give it one more week, then it will wear thin.
but for now, i'm all about it. i can't wait to see it again.

Actually, real snakes were used. They had an interview on our CBC that my mom caught at work (I wouldn't have listened to it myself, it's CBC...). The extra's did interact with real snakes for certain scenes, but Jackson did all of his with a green screen.

The CGI snakes are present, because, well... duh. They're biting and snapping at people. And being sucked out of a plane. And being tazered and shot.

Did the rating for this movie change for anyone else? The first night, premiere, it was rated 18A in Canada. Now, it's PG14. Intact with breasts in the mile high scene...

Why couldn't they just do all this with real snakes?

If you were an actor would you want to be bitten by a real snake, even with the venom removed? Could you train snakes to move the exact way you wanted them to without years of preperation? If you were Samuel L. Jackson who hates motherfucking snakes, would you want them to co-star alongside you? And the fact PETA would sue your mofo ass for harming them in all the kill scenes.

Are you one of those who likes to poke where things shouldn't be poked?

I was similarly disappointed with the use of CGI dragons in Reign of Fire.

Why can't actors and filmmakers toughen up a little and learn how to act alongside with and train these beasts so they don't have to fall back on computer trickery?

They could even have little elongated trailers where the snakes can relax in between scenes.

they still have dragons in the uk ? :D :p
