I have no plans to see it but it has a huge cult following on the net. Samuel L Jackson is an excellent actor as is that girl from ER who's name I can't spell!

Yeah....I like Samuel Jackson...but not enough to sit through what looks like....words can't even describe how bad this movie looks John.

Funny thing is...Jackson insisted on making it! They were gonna change the title and he said he'd pull out if they did! For whatever reason, he thinks highly of the movie. As I said, it developed a huge cult following on the net...but then, so did Serenity and it bombed at the box office...also, Serenity was a great movie!

Yep, that's why we have more than on channel on the TV. Personally, I'll probably see this movie once it comes out on DVD or on TV. Haven't been to a movie since Underworld: Evolution...too damn expensive for me!

I don't think Serenity developed a huge cult following on the net, Somer.

Definitely not like Snakes on a Plane.

Just because a passel of geeks are infatuated with anything that this Whedon guy puts out doesn't designate a "huge cult following."

Snakes on a Plane has been making fun of itself before production even began, and will be helped by every media outlet making fun of how campy it is also.

And just because some jerk who likes to take cheapshots at me posts some crap designed solely to provoke doesn't make it worthwhile...I could care less whether you like Joss's work, or whether you have the capacity to even appreciate it. Regarding "Snakes"...we'll see how it does at the box office, I wish it well but whether it will find a mainstream audience remains to be seen. It has two advantages over Serenity...better marketing and a "household name" star.

I have no plans of seeing it either..however, if my friend, Merkey, would lend me his Burmese python (9 ft) and the boa (7 ft) for an evening, and I didn't have to tell him where I was going with them (guess?)...it would be a night to remember. All I would have to do is figure out how to sneak them in past the popcorn and candy stand. They're much too big to fit inside my pants...
and suitcases would get picked off in the lobby.
Suggestions?

These encompass my wife's two most horrifying phobias. I love it. She could not even watch the preview. I almost spit up my one beer when I watched it. Great stuff. Hiliarious.

In fact, I'm already ready for the sequel, which I can only hope will be "Pigs In a Blanket."

If they check closely for terrorists bringing massive snakes on board, they are going to have to pat down Kev for that big hose monster he keeps in his trousers.

Oh the humanity...
