Snakes On A Plane!
 

WOOOOO! SNAKES ON A PLANE!

The movie kicked ass (not in the sense that it was a well made movie, but in the gloriously cheesy kinda way), and the audience was way into it. Fun times all 'round

just got back from a 10 pm show. all i can say is fucking wow. snakes on a plane is just pure fun. can't wait to see it again.

So....... What kind of movie is it exactly?

Horror? Comedy? Action?


WHAT????

It's all three rolled into one.

This really is a movie you have to see with a theatre full of SoaP nerds. Premiere was excellent. In this small city, the theatre was PACKED. There were literally only two or three seats left 5 minutes to the show.

It was pretty much the most fun I've had with a movie. The audience laughed hysterically, and clapped after every kill, and "awed" sarcastically at the honeymooners "It was where you wanted to go." line. :p

I'm definately going to go see it again. I'd say it definately lived up to it's hype for me. Shame people aren't going to see it becuse they think it looks "stupid". Blind as a bat, I tell you.

Hmm....

For some reason i don´t think this movie will come out in the cinemas in my country..:rolleyes:

apparently they gave out rubber snakes in toronto and people were throwing them all over the place .. sounded like good old school horror matinee fun..

looks like a waste of my time and $10 go see the Decent dawg.

thats pretty funny ..

i love the last one..

Same here :D

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

Yes, but they're steadily being replaced by CGI.

:mad:

well, you have to be fair .. they are a lot harder to train than snakes ..


and their breath ! whoooo boy !

in all seriousness .... the money is the largest factor ..
the wranglers, SPCA involvement, insurance rates go up, and the actors - even minor ones - have to be paid more for being in 'potentially dangerous situations'

there's a scale for things like that .. sort of danger pay - and it involves things as silly as stepping out of a boat, etc ..

They say that soon even actors will all become CGI, and that'll save Hollywood even more money.

It's an increasingly less preposterous idea.

I had an idea on how they could replicate the theater atmosphere, since without the crowd, the movie loses a bit of its charm (speaking from experience, having seen it twice in two days, once with the awesome crowd and once with a crowd that would be perfectly fine for any movie besides SOAP), they should do what they did for the Sin City SE. Have a seperate audio track with audience reactions from the premiere.

they made a movie about that 25 years ago

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/


but - yeah undeniably it comes down to

1) money

2) create something otherwise impossible

I'll take CGI dinosaurs over stop motion anyday - no matter how much work is involved in the stop-mo.

I love stop-motion animation a la Harryhausen style :D

Anyways, SOAP was WAY better than I had anticipated, the deaths, the T & A, the vicious tramplings, the wicked catch phrase, "I've had it with these Mother****ing snakes on this Mother****ing plane!!"....all ingredients for an awesomely cheese filled "when animals attack" flick.

I can't wait for the DVD....hopefully, it'll be chaulked full of extras.

Is The American Theatre Crowd really the whooping, cheering, slightly-in-need-of-Valium collective the rest of the world have watched on TV with some bewilderment?

hahahahaha

snakes on a plane was amazing.

soap was amazing and the cgi snakes didn't bother me. plus like people have been saying, cgi is the easiest way to make your snakes do stuff.

i havent seen it yet but with what you have said it sounds really cool

all of my mates were like "Oh thats looks like its going to be crap, i dont think ill waste my money watching this" but i think its good and i may watch it next week *nods*

My snake doesn't need CGI to do stuff.

Well, it can wink without any help :D

what i meant by that is the snakes performance.

>tchoh!<

All you need is one of these:-

It's a Snake... in a fucking Basket!

Brilliant!

:D

Snakes on a "mutha fuckin" Plane
 

It didn't suck. I've seen worse. There's some sweet snake kills but not enough gore.

Did you watch it with no pants on?

Attacked by 3-D!

I thought this was awesome.

I saw it in theaters, and everytime I brought it up anywhere people automatically assumed it sucked.

Me: "Did you see Snakes on a Plane?"

Them: "Hahahaha, no! That movie's a fucking joke!"

Me: "So...you didn't see it..."

Them: "Because it sucks!"


Ignorant, media-controlled fools.

I thought it was just an average movie, BUT

***** Spoiler*****

It had what I found to be one of the funniest moments in recent memory, when the annoying Brit throws the dog to the snakes to save his hide!! I laughed so hard on that one I nearly choked!
