jackYou know movies so bad they're good? This was so really awful it was great! The trailers led me to think it was going to try to take itself seriously, but no, it threw itself into the hype with abandon. I'm not sure how much was changed at the behest of the prerelease online hype, but it made me think of the "thousand monkeys typing for a thousand years eventually producing shakespear" dictum. The internet is commonly cited as a counterexample, but it seems the internet produces Snakes on a Plane, which I can't really argue with.
It's slightly squicky in a few places, but otherwise a great laugh.
We were going to count the occurances of "motherfucking", "snakes" and "plane" but there really weren't that many instances of anyone *saying* them. I think we should have counted instances of gratuitous snake frying, gratuitous breasts, and disregard for logic in the cause of plot or being cool.
It wasn't even especially implausible, physically, continuityy, or psychologically, compared to any other action movie.
There was a touch of applause in a couple of places, when the arrogant business man threw the lapdog to the snake, and when SLJ finally says motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane :) And many laugh out loud moments.
