I saw it last night. I loved it. HUGE audience interaction.
VCNJ~
That would make her kinda large for a ball python. They normally grow to be about four feet long. Of course, YMMV.

C’mon, Lou, this kind of comment is WAY THE FUCK OUT OF LINE* for Cafe Society and you know it.
You are Officially Warned, again. And reminded to read the forum rules.
Personal insults are not permitted in this forum.
- Yes, I know that upper case is shouting. I’m shouting.
Aww, c’mon, Dex … all day I’ve been hoping for one of the mods to come forth with 'I want these muthafucking insults off this muthafucking board!"
How is the CGI? The trailers have left me…unimpressed. I’d have a hard time enjoying it if it didn’t look any better than Anaconda.
Shakespeare is a writer whose works have stood for hundreds of years, inspiring millions with his uncanny ability to peer into the human heart. Spiderman is a comic book about a boy who got bit by a spider, thereby being able to perform feats of strength and mass-creation that goes beyond the realm of Barely Plausible Physics into the Land of Unbelievable Nonsense. (I’m thinking of that train-stopping sequence in Spidey2).
Whether or not you think I’m ignorant on every other subject I may wish to discuss merely for pointing out the obvious silliness of comparing an action flick to, say, King Lear, is not, and never will be, a concern of mine. To be honest, that reaction says a lot more about you than I.
Just FYI.
As far as “recent comic book movies”, I’ve spent my time on V for Vendetta (if they wanted to remake 1984, why not remake 1984?), X-Men 3 (I wonder if Shakespearian-trained actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McLelleland are thrilled to spend their careers on second-rate American fairy tales? ), Superman Returns (actually, not bad, but then nobody embarrased themselves comparing it to Shakespeare, either).
It’s not that I hate the genre… I just don’t deceive myself into thinking that they are anything but B-movie pictures and plots with A-movie budgets.
Anyway… enough of this hijack. If you care to make more personal observations about my character based upon my views about a silly movie genre, that’s why the administrators created the Pit.
On with the snakes!
And had I read further along the thread, I would’ve seen CK’s response.
If y’all want to, feel free to delete my above post: I’ve no desire to hijack this thread.
Don’t forget to get Samuel L himself to give you (or a loved one) a ring.
I have no interest in seeing SOAP, but for all the fans out there, I offer: [Blanks] On A [Blank] – a filmmaking challenge. 
Increasingly, studios are just skipping the critics when they decide that the review won’t help the movie - good reviews wouldn’t help this movie, for example, since the buzz already exists, and bad ones could hurt it.
Thanks to SNenc for thinking to use spoiler boxes even though I left “Spoilers” out of the thread title. Although to a certain degree, Snakes on a Plane is un-spoilable.
Great. Snakes on crack.
And now, I’m off to see the movie again.
Shit, man, you beat me to it.
Who gives a rat’s ass about snakes on a plane when you can have motherfucking RACCOONS on a motherfucking COMMUTER SPACE SHUTTLE?
Sounds a lot better than my daily experience of Incontinent Bums on a Commuter Train.
The New York Times - excuse me, the motherfuckin’ New York Times – has given SoaP a good (!) review. (Free registration required.) Their verdict: “All anyone needs to know about this amusingly crude, honestly satisfying artifact is snakes + plane + Samuel L. Jackson.” The fact that the NYT liked this movie amazes me; I would have expected a pan just on general intellectually elitist principles.
I am so going to see this movie.
Ahem…the NYT is quite clear that it’s a motherfucking “13-letter epithet” 
From Defamer, which has a great write-up on the premiere:
All we wanted from the 'Lil Airborne Reptilian Infestation Movie That Could was for at least one guy to have his genitals fanged-up while in the process of bodily waste elimination, and God bless their pandering little hearts, they delivered the mandatory junk-chomping scene with cynical aplomb. Once that lone condition was satisfied, we were more than happy to laugh at lines of dialogue both intentionally and accidentally hilarious, hurl ourselves forward in our seat with delight when the areola on a bare, surgically enhanced breast became a targeting mechanism for a mamba strike, and generally stop giving a shit about how someone might smuggle several hundred angry predators aboard a red-eye even with the aid of the most corrupt of airport security regimes. Motherfucking snakes were on the motherfucking plane (see how easy it is to fall back into it?), they were biting everything in sight, and that was enough for us, as we are constitutionally incapable of not enjoying a well-executed fake-titty attack.
I am SO going to this movie.
I’ve had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane…it may not be the best-made movie of 2006, but Snakes on a Plane is certainly the most fun. Fun deaths and Samuel L. Jackson kicking ass- what’s not to love? (And be sure to watch his interplay with Kenan Thompson during the climax.) Snakes may be silly, but it certainly lives up to the hype. Do as I say and you live- see Snakes on a Plane!
I have no idea why I wrote that like a cheap movie reviewer. I did really enjoy the movie. Oh, and one more thing…All praises to the PlayStation!
DeadlyAccurate quotes Nell “Daddy Vast Wasteland” Minow about the fact that the film has four writers. That startled me, because I figure too many writers spoils the broth. I was also startled by the fact that two were credited for the actual script and the other two were credited for the treatment, and neither of the team of two actually worked together (credited with an “and”- per WGA rules, you get an “and” if you worked seperately but an “&” if you’re a team). But I guess it worked out okay for this film.
Sorry, these motherfucking snakes keep making me post! I forgot my Fun Fact: The scene in which A snake in a toilet bites a man on the penis was suggested by the president of New Line Cinema himself.
