Whos going tonight? I am even If i have to hitchike to town and sleep in the ditch.
-
wait that came out today? on a thursday? or are they playing it 'early' at midnight or whatever?
hmm....because i am definately trying to go see this movie.
-
i think it opened opened. it's got so much hype, might as well.
-
if anyone sees it tonight, tell me how it is. i've been psyched for this since i heard rumors of samuel jackson's famous line, but i will admit the trailers and hype that wasn't originated by the internet has me a bit turned off.
-
I am going with my "posse" to see it tomorrow and have general fun
-
Yeah, this movie may in fact be the most craptacular spectacle ever, but dammit I still want to see it.. fucking viral marketing. You know whats really funny is that the whole Sam Jackson line "We've got motherfuckin snakes on this motherfuckin plane" or whatever wasn't originally in the script, they reshot a scene so they could include it because it became such a meme! Thats listening to customer feedback right there!
-
I went with one of my fellow trumpeters today to the theater to see if they would let him come see the movie tonight (Friday) with his pet boa constrictor.
(They said no.)
-
I don't care what anyone says, I am totally going to see this movie this weekend.
Snakes on a Plane.
Stop and just fucking think about it.
SERIOUSLY.
-
Suppriesed with an early 10:00 showing. Oh yes. It was spectacular. There were Snakes. There was a plane. One was on the other. Sam Jackson yelled alot. Everybody else seemed insignificant. Funnies movie taking place on a plane ever.
-
Awesome. And the crowd was way into it (though I guess anybody not into SOAP wouldn't be at the early showing)
-
Saw it at the 10:00 showing. The audience was amazing. Plenty of clapping and cheering and countdowns and chants. I helped organize a wave at the beggining. Sam Jackson killed snakes, snakes killed people, all on a plane, it was definately enjoyable.
-
Just got back from the midnight showing...

!!!!!!
Words cannot properly express the extent to which this movie is SO muthaf***in' WIN. I have not had this much fun at a movie in... well, I don't think ever.
Plot? Irrelevant.
Character development? Unnecessary.
This movie was EXACTLY what I hoped it would be, and exactly what it should have been. Samuel L. Jackson. A plane. An assload of snakes. Completely unapologetic.
The only problem will be after the first week, when people go to see it without the rowdy crowds - they won't be able to appreciate the full cinematic experience that is Snakes on a Plane. It is best seen with a rowdy crowd that will boo, hiss (pun intended), cheer, laugh, and groan. Only then can its true brilliance shine through.
GO. SEE. THIS. MOVIE.
that is all.
-
oh god
this is really pretty fucking awesome
b-movie magic
-
people brought plastic snakes to the theater to throw at the screen in a rocky-horror-esque manner. this is definitely something you want to see in the first few days while the crowds are still insane.
-
i'm seeing it tomorrow! so excited!!! totally going just so i can see s.l.j. say "i am tired of these motherfuckin snakes on this motherfuckin plane," but i think that's a pretty damn good reason.
this movie is getting to me on a different level though. last night i was watching the news about how commercial flights carry cargo and whatnot, but it's not checked very often. and i'm think as i watch it, "there could be snakes in that cargo. why are you not checking this cargo???"
now i sound like a complete weirdo.
-
I reckon this could easily turn into a new sort of Rocky horror. Thats how fun this movie is! Every line is a one-liner. Every death is ridiculous. FUCK! I have not laughed that hard at a movie in a cinema EVER. SO GOOD!
SAMUEL L JACKSON SHOOTS A FUCKING SNAKE WITH A FUCKING HARPOON RIFLE.
SO GOOOOOOOD!
-
Ok, voting time. We need a vote for the most insane, unexpected death.
Mine goes to the guy who gets someones high heel through the skull. Fuck, that looked like it would've been a painful way to go, and it's definately not something you see in a movie everyday. By comparison, I thought the snake in the toilet was kind of an obvious death.
Oh, and we had snakes thrown at the screen as well. Audience members also constantly hissed, and it got hard to tell if the hissing was from the screen or not. One girl brought a rattle, and shook it whenever the movie quited down. Someone also made a pair of cardboard wings and came dressed as a plane, complete with snakes draped off him. He was part of the group that was first in line, and I played cards with him for a bit in line up (my friends and I were the second group in line).
-
Yeah, probably high heel guy. The guy who gets spat in the eyes and cries massive streams of venom isn't bad, also, the woman who opens up her sandwich, and a snake leaps out and bites her tongue.
-
Alright, I didn't want to see this movie until I read some of the user comments on IMDB. I'd pay $7 just to see the crazy hissing crowd, plastic snake party, and instant cheering at what is now known as, "The Line." Any movie where they have to ADD gore to up the rating to R must be gold.
Also,
http://snakesonaplanesequels.ytmnd.com/ I'm excited about the sequels.
(Excerpts from thread "Any hilarious audience reactions?")
"Loud, very verbal reactions for basically everything that happened. Ridiculous amounts of cheering for any Sam Jackson line, of course, and appropriate reactions for all the extreme snake bites. One of my friends shouted "SHOWTIME!!!" immediately after the first snake encounter."
"When SLJ went on a snake-killing spree, coming out of the cargo bay, someone shouted "You DON'T *beep* with a JEDI!!!" And everyone LOLed!!!"
-
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHGHGHGHGH!!!!!
ITS ONLY COMING OUT ON THE 28th HERE!
WHEN IM SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING DRUNK FOR THE STUDENT INTRODUCTION THE DAY AFTER!
DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know why, but that had me rolling.
dressing as a cardboard plane, that's brilliant. i'm probably going to see it again tomorrow with friends, and if i do i will dress as a plane and hopefully have photographs to post here.
-
God good I loved this movie!!
I spent some time thinking about holes in the plot, but really I did not see it for it's plot.
-
Just got back from seeing it.
FUCKING INCREDIBLE!
Seriously this movie had everything I hoped for.
People killed during intercourse
People killed by snakes in general
Champ the sports Anchorman as the pilot of the plane
Samuel L Jackson being Samuel L. Jackson
The fat kid from Good Burger
And it was just fucking funny.
-
Best death was that of the rude British guy.
Man, that boa could stretch.
-
That was sweet. The snake was all, "check it out. I'm a hat."
I admire Samuel L. Jackson's faith in the integrity of bulletproof vests.
Edit: also, I don't think this counts as the best death, but I laughed when the snake crawled out of Dr. Purpleface's mouth. Maybe I wasn't supposed to. Dude has a snake problem.
-
My friends and I were the only people to see Snakes on a Plane, so there was much dancing in the aisle and cheering when the GLORIOUS PHRASE was yelled.
-

That bit cracked me up as well.
"We got a Doctor on board? Oh SHIT!"
-
I want to know if any of the 450 snakes used in filming were actually harmed in production. It doesn't specifically say no under IMDB trivia, so I'm going to assume that SLJ did go torch-happy :).
-
Best death was that of the rude British guy.
Man, that boa could stretch.
By farrrrr the best in my opinion.
But honestly, who would've thought that the fat kid from Good Burger could land a plane
:haha:
-
they should do like they did for the Sin City SE and have an audio track of audience reaction on the DVD
-
Best death was that of the rude British guy.

i hated that guy. i was so unbelievably happy when that boa was like, shoo that dog was an appetizer. and when he got sucked out, they snake was like halfway down his body! yeah boa!
there were less than 10 people in my theatre. i'm kinda sad i missed out on the crazy peoples. but the music video during the credits was pretty funny, so it made me less sad. and makes me want to buy the soundtrack.
-
to tell you the truth I knew from the start that he would be killed by snakes in the best way (well worst way for him) possible.
Oh and I was happy that Kenan lived
-
The best thing about that movie was that they thought of everything.
When I first saw the lady with the dog (after they got on the plane), I said to my friends, "That dog NEEDS to get eaten by an anaconda. PLEASE let it happen."
and then it happened!! I was ecstatic.
SO win.
-
BOA CONSTRICTOR WITH TEETH. WTF.
I laughed my arse through the whole thing. It was everything I had ever hoped it would be. I don't think I have had more fun at a movie in a long time.
Samuel L Jackson now has my undying loyalty. And New Line. Srsly.
-
BOA CONSTRICTOR WITH TEETH. WTF.
seriously.
-

Snake: "Hey lookit me! I'ma Snake Hat!"
This movie was awesome. I loved the music video at the end.
-
This movie was great, 'nuff said, I haven't laughed this hard in theaters in a long time.
"SNAKES ON CRACK?!"
-

thanks, m. this depressed me even further.
i don't get back to the states until september 17th! by then all the people that would be fun to see this movie with will probably have seen it 3904302 times already. i'll be stuck going to a matinee showing with 4 other people in the theatre with me. dag yo.
by the way. japanese kids have recently learned about this movie. they don't know that it's a movie, or why it's funny for real, but saying SNAKES ON A PLANE to them makes them laugh uncontrollably.
-
SPORKS?!
-
i saw it again tonight. suuuch a good movie. i dragged a friend who was reistant and thought it would be horrible, but she ended up loving it. so anyone who is resistant to seeing it (coughtommycough) should give it a shot.
-
Man this film is AWESOME!!!
-
we don't have any silver ware, all we have are these.
SPORKS?!
ha. i looked at my friend and we both did silent yays to that.
-

Actually toastess, I think that laughing uncontrollably at "SNAKESONAPLANE" is universal :).
I can't believe it's rated 8.3/10 currently at IMDB. That would theoretically rank it above movies like Scarface, All Quiet on the Western Front, Full Metal Jacket, 2001: Space Odyssey... etc.
Are you motha****ing kidding me?
-
Sam Jackson pissed off is a formidible thing indeed.
Also, why the hell didn't that baby get munched?
-
it's like hollywood rule #2 that babies and children can't die.
-
i saw this for a third motherfucking time this motherfucking week. it's ok, you guys can make fun of me now.
-
Lucky bastard.
-
Because of the popularity Snakes on a Plane has garnered, in addition to its 3 sequels this will be the ONLY genre of movie produced in Hollywood for the next 10 years (at least).
I hope you all enjoy your (brief) lapse in judgment in supplying the industry with extra profit by seeing SoaP not once, not twice, but three times.
It was enjoyable to participate in the hype for awhile, but now I'm going back to my art house films. :)
-
I had 2 favourite parts to this movie.
1. When the mob boss is talking on the phone, obviously about the snake plan, and he says:
"Don't you think I've exhausted every other option!?!?!?!?"
Clearly you haven't mob boss guy, but ok!
2. When the power goes out, and everyone sort of mumbles and gasps but it's no big thing, except one guy thinks it is and he goes "THE SNAKES!" really loudly, but he's clearly very far away because it's all muffled. It's like "Yeah we know!"
Seriously I was all :0
-
Stll have yet to see it... as funny as it looks, it seems really... awful.
Is it worth it?
-
This shit has gone too far (http://www.bestweekever.tv/2006/08/23/exclusive-im-terview-the-snakes-on-a-plane-tattoo-guy/)
-
I saw snakes on a plane today. I laughed for nearly the duration.
Great fun. And when Sir Samuel L Jackson punches a snake in the face?
HARDCORE.

"On June 3, 2006 while presenting the award for best movie at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, Jackson said:
Snakes on a Plane
I'm here tonight to present the award everyone's been waiting for: best movie. Now, this award holds a special place in my heart because next year I'll be winning it for Snakes on a Plane. Now I know, I know that sounds cocky, but I don't give a damn. I am guaranteeing that Snakes on a Plane will win best movie next year. Does not matter what else is coming out. The New James Bond... no snakes in that! Ocean's 13... where my snakes at? Shrek the Third... green, but not a snake. No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called Mo' Muthafuckin' Snakes on Mo' Muthafuckin' Planes."
YES!
-
i finally saw this movie last night and let me say it was everything i expected it to be.
i saw it in a basically empty theater, however, and i'm sure this movie is way more fun with a packed house on opening night or something. but it was still as awesomely shitty as they come. go see it.
-
if you go to the movie's website you can send personalized calls from "samuel l jackson" to friends telling them about the movie. they're pretty hilarious.
times seen the movie: 4.
(i'm still waiting for someone to harshly ridicule me, i have it coming).
-
That movie made me so happy.
Did you hear someone snuck two venomous snakes into a theater in Arizona? Thank God nobody was bitten before they caught them.
-
Saw it twice...it was much more hilarious the first time, but that was because it was on opening night with my best friend, and the second time i was way to busy being nervous and awkward around a cute girl that i went to see it with...
best line in the movie was NOT "The Line," but the one in the second bathroom scene: God damn snake! Get off my dick!!
I think they got the writing credits wrong though; God Himself wrote this movie...
-
The best line is clearly just after all the lights go out, and a guy from off-screen shouts;
"It's the snakes!"
-
Oh man, I loved the film so much.
-
I thought it was pretty good, but I felt enough snakes weren't killed up close and personal. We kept track of SLJ's kill total for the entire movie, and it only got upto 17 by my count, not including the ones sucked out due to decompression.
It wasn't bad though, will make a fantastic drinking game DVD.
-
Try drinking for every snake bite.

pfft, it's all words with you man.

geez, it's a way to admit i'm wrong without saying "i'm wrong". get with the male pride system.
-
hehe male pride.....rawr come here! i'll bite your ear off!
-
This is probably perhaps the best SLJ movie out there. What more could you ask for? Snakes, a plane, and Jackson. Pure gold.
-
geez, it's a way to admit i'm wrong without saying "i'm wrong". get with the male pride system.
I know. But it's funnier to pull males up on their ego's and hopefully get a reaction.
