See, now, I can hardly sit through a movie most of the time, but I didn't find that one boring.  But boring is in the mind of the beholder, you can't argue about it.

In other movie news, who's going to go see Snakes on a Plane and report back for us?  I feel like I ought to see it, being someone who works with snakes in the basement and all.  But I am not going to be first.

You gotta be shitting me?
Nope.  A pregnant woman is bit by a zombie, she dies but the child is born.  It's a zombie and it's all squeelin at everyone then they shoot it.  That was some grade-A BS right there, I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

Has anyone commented on the phrase "dump factory" yet? Because, wow. Best euphemism for the intestines ever.

I sort of want to see Snakes on a Plane, but I can't actually work up the energy to care about it enough to go to a theater and pay money for it. I mean, hasn't the Internet already oversaturated us on this damn thing? How can the real movie possibly compare? Anyway, someone bite the bullet and see it for us, so we know.

I am going to stand outside the theater and throw buckets of paint onto patrons whom buy tickets for that film.


, black paint to reflect the tarnished souls of these formerly sentient beings made slaves by the most heinous marketing rape since Y2K.

Yea, I can't quite tell how I feel about SoaP. Only that I guess, I'm already over it. The hype kind of fulfilled what little humour I think I was going to garner from it, and thus I can't bring myself to go and see it now. I'm sure I'll see it when it's considered uncool.
Could go see Snakes on a Train instead... Only saying that will probably have thigns thrown at me.

I liked unbreakable too. I read a script for it on script-o-rama a while back that had a slightly altered ending that I liked more (same twist but it didn't freeze and scroll text, in fact it wasn't explicit that Sam Jackson's character was brought to justice at all).

I'm going to see SoaP. Maybe I haven't been qutie as saturated as some of you or maybe I'm just willing to put up with more but I'm just interested to see what it will be like, since most people are obviously counting on it falling into the 'hilariously bad' category.

See, the SO and I were talking about movies last night while enjoying some Veggie Korma, and he was upset about how shitty movies are these days and saying they need to make more movies like The Tingler.  I got pretty excited by the idea, specifically in regard to SoaP - it's perfect: springy snakes in every second package of M&M's sold, Spring snakes in the cup holders, a rig that dumps snakes from the ceiling.. Then, it must have been the curry, we were both really excited about the idea of just bringing bags full of rubber snakes to the theatre and throwing them.  That would be awesome.  But no one has a sense of humour any more, and I don't want to be "that girl who got kicked out for throwing rubber snakes," or, more specifically, I don't want to be "that girl who spent $8 plus the cost of rubber snakes just to be kicked out."

FYI, "I've had it with these mother fuck*ng snakes on this mother fuck*ng plane!" is a good line to use in day to day life.  Just substitute "snakes" with whatever's irking you.  It does a body good.

Also...I'm sorry for encouraging the off topicness, since I haven't seen Slither.  I hate to say it, but shouldn't the SoaP discussion be split to it's own thread?  I'm leaving it up to you folks here.

I figured there was only so far the Slither discussion could go, what with the... three of us(?) who've seen it, and it could kind of be about how good Slither is compared to all these other shitty movies... Just my modly two cents.
(Plus it's gotten kind of tricky to split.)

Fine with me, and besides, really, so few of us actually lack the dignity to actually create a SoaP thread, and there's probably not that much to say about it either.

Well, I came back seeing as you found quite a bit.
I mean, I can't see why you'd get thrown out of a cinema for throwing rubber snakes. I've heard of worse. Not like it could be considered a terrorist threat to throw snakes during SoaMFP, surely? Too meta...
I'd do it now, were I going to go see it.

Well, snakes slither more than slugs do, don't they?  So the thread title makes as much sense for either one.

Perhaps this is the moment to confess that while I am not sure I want to see the movie, I do have Jeff Rowland's tshirt inspired by it.  I got it because I meant to wear it to work, but then I decided it was too nice to risk getting snake poop on it.
