Muthafuckin' Snakes on a Muthafuckin' Plane

[filkertom]

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.

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?

Understood. I will say this: It's not so much bad as over-the-top. It knows exactly what it's doing, and what it's parodying, and does a pretty darn good job of it, and also of being serious when there needs to be some seriousness. Sure, a few physical laws get broken, but that never stopped us from rooting for Wile E. Coyote.

The DVD has a featurette about snakes that makes me happy, too.
