I have resisted about as long as I can. But this morning, reading Jeremy Freese's simple, what-else-after-all-CAN-you-say? post, I can resist no longer.
Mr. Freese also links to the inevitable Wikipedia entry. Hmm--as did I, just now.
To the makers' credit, this film is one of the few ever made whose title tells the potential moviegoer EXACTLY what s/he will see, thus helpfully reviewing itself in advance. Even Gigli couldn't do that. Snakes on a Plane simply IS, signifying nothing beyond itself: something that can be said about very few things, art or not.

Yep. Its pretty much terrifying. I liked Jeffrey Rolands take:
ReplyDelete"It awesinine."
Can I just say that I am SO SO SO looking forward to going to see the movie. Also, looking forward to the giant margarita I'm going to drink right before going to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose you'll read this comment, since it's being posted so late in the day, but I'm feeling pretty flummoxed by this whole Snakes on a Plane brouhaha.
ReplyDeleteYou know that the execs deliberately chose such an idiotic title specifically as a marketing ploy? And it seems to be working. The buzz surrounding the movie has reached such a pitch that the producers have taken the decision to shoot extra footage to ensure it gets an 'R' rating!
And you're a 'node' in this viral marketing campaign. The success of this movie is all your fault! ;)
