OT: Snakes on a Plane

[Anonymous]

Well I finally saw it last night.... OH MY GOD!!!!! That movie is the most amazing movie ever made.

I concur.

With all the internet hype I'm expecting some pretty good things.. I'm going to see it Saturday night. However, I read that its meant to be R rated and here in Australia its only M rated so I'm wondering if its had some pretty heavy censoring.. The upside to that is if it in fact is meant to be R, maybe that version will be available on dvd later..

We also have an NR/U rating (not rated/unrated), comprable to your E rating I guess.

oh so R there is not the same as R here.. interesting, american rating systems are weird..

P.S. is it mean of me getting my best friend to message my dickhead ex bf last night writing the movie up and recommending he go see it.. knowing full well that he has such a snake phobia that even the mention of them breaks him into a cold sweat, and seeing them pop up in any movie makes him turn white and want to run screaming from the cinema?

Mean - yes
Funny - hell yes

And probably not unjustified.

lol...you're such a death metal junkie! (not that its a bad thing_

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Just saw snakes on a plane. movie of the year, hands down. I didn't stop laughing through the entire movie. Instant classic!

 

[Horus]

High five Zach!! *offers DoomsdayZach a high five*

[DoomsdayZach]

*Accepts the high five, not in any small part due to the extreme awesomeness of danceboy paired with snakes on a plane*

Dude... when are they going to come out with the emoticon... SNAKES ON A :danceboy:

No, well it is very obvious what you should get him for his next birthday.

Snakes on a Plane on DVD? Or a plane full of Snakes? Because both sound extra fun.

 

[SilentRealm]

ok I finally saw it over the weekend and OMG I LOVED IT!!!! the only things that I wasnt sure whether to be disappointed or not was firstly that the acting was not nearly as terrible as I expected it to be, and secondly.. the 1 line in the movie I'm waiting for Sam Jackson to finally say (you people KNOW what line I'm talking about ), I thought he said at a relatively inappropriate moment.. I could think of several areas of the movie he could have said it instead that would be much funnier..

BUT it was so bloody COOL!!!! the snakes were so.. incorrect that they were hilarious (especially the 'snake vision' - i cracked up every time), and those death scenes were awesome!!!!

 

[Horus]

Especially when the Oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling and the snakes came down with them. That and the mean British Guy dying were by far teh 2 best death scenes in the movie.

I was laughing the entire time cause of the constant Red Bull and Kawasaki ads throughout.

 

[Horus]

I remember the Red Bull ads, but not the Kawasaki ones.

 

[SilentRealm]

yeah I noticed redbull had a MAJOR plug lol.. my fav death scenes were the first one where the snake latches onto the nipple, then again where the snake latches onto the guys dick, and also where one is crawling up the old gross woman and she is getting off till she looks at it, and it latches onto her eyeball and burrows in through her skull.. that was pretty ripe ooh.. and yeah the one where the boa eats the english guy classic cinema!

i also loved the steward, and how he was showing the martial arts guy his kickboxing moves, and how you think for sure that he is SO very gay and hitting on that guy and when he mentions his wife/gf (i forget) you're thinking.. 'pfft, yeah right..' - then at the very end, it turns out he wasnt lying and his gf is like the hottest chick out of any of them

 

[Horus]

I dunno that blond stewardess was pretty hot also.
That English guy got what he had coming though, after throwing that chick's dog at the boa.
The pilots also had a pretty awesome death scene. They just jumped down into the thing with the breakers and BAM!! Snakes bite 'em. And then that one captain comes back with his entire body all swolen. Priceless.
