Muthafuckin' Snakes on a Muthafuckin' Plane

Okay, I realize this is seven months after the movie's release. I realize that I got the DVD first day it was out, and I hadn't watched it till now. I've been busy. And today was The Day.

[livejournal.com profile] huskiebear and I agree: Snakes on a Plane is a superbly entertaining bad movie. Exactly the right helpings of gore (perhaps a minute too long on the "OMGWTFBBQ WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY SNAKES AAAAAAAH", but really only a minute), action, scares, snark, comedy, drama, cheesecake, and ever-damn cliché in the Disaster Movie Book Of Clichés, with a few incredibly bad lines and a few incredibly good ones. Well made, well acted, Samuel L. Muthafuckin' Jackson pwnes all of our asses. And everything you can anticipate being bitten by a snake is bitten by a snake, but somehow it's still watchable.

We are gonna get everybody over for a MST3K LemurCon to have fun with it. 'Cause it's too fun not to share.

Les wants to make it a double-feature. Any suggestions?

Mars Attacks?

Can't We All Just... Get Along?

Love love love that flick. Very underrated. If you remember, it was released at about the same time as ID4, which followed all of the conventions of the lame-ass alien-attack movies of the 1950s, which got a buttload more money. A lot of critics simply didn't get Mars Attacks!, and they savaged it.

The telltale shot, the one that really shows everything Mars Attacks! is about, is when the alien ship lands at the reviewing stand in the desert, and the descending staircase lines up precisely with the red carpet that's been rolled out for it.
