It's hard to talk about the wonder of a thing that meets your every expectation. It's harder still when youre expectations were all for awesomeness. Snakes On a Plane hits every bit - every ridiculous stereotype, every dumb cliche. This isn't art house cinema here. It's a B-movie that's become sublime. I don't think I've ever clapped, just out and out applauded, so much in watching a movie.
I won't tell you any more about. I don't need to; you already know. It's like this: It's the 1980's. Someone gives you a camera, Samuel L. Jackson, an airplane full of colorful characters and a bunch of snakes. What would you put in the movie you would make? How would you kill the characters? What would Sam say? How do you stop the snakes?
You've written this movie already in your mind; you've seen it a thousand times in your dreams or your laughing talks with friends. Only now, someone's taken it out of your head and put it up on screen. Complete with power guitar. It's worth a thousand times the price of admission.

I was boarding my first flight back to the states at almost the exact time you were watching this movie. I'm assuming your offer to go see it again still stands. David has said he'll go again too.

It was good, but not as good as the pre-show hype. And what was with that creepy music video at the end? I'd recommend it, but perhaps the alcohol had something to do with the ridiculous enthusiasm? :P

I barely had a sip; definitely not the alcohol.
The music video was really weird though, yeah.

Thanks, Gus; it's good to be back! We were under construction for a little while (and still have some stuff to do to get back to full speed), but it's regular posting for the forseeable future.
