Ten M*therf*cking D*llars?!? Whammy.
Aug. 18th, 2006 12:31 amAs anticipated, Snakes on a Plane was painfully bad.
Surprisingly, it was not as hilarious or relentless as I expected. It dragged in several places and not a single character was cool enough or developed enough to care about. Even with abysmally low expectations, I excpeted more than this. A talented editor could have turned that script into something truly hysterical. But they didn't. They never did. So everyone was laughing at the badness. I suspect though, that this film will make a stupid amount of money.
I guessed wrong, on who would actually have to land the plane. Plus they groomed this one character to come back and be bad later, and then did nothing with it. And the "villian" was really hysterical, as was the scene that introduced him. In some ways, this movie represents all that is wrong with modern cinema; so in some ways it's bad that I gave them $9.50. But I laughed harder than I have all week. So that's cool.
Despite the title, there were very few actual Snakes on the M*therf*cking Plane. Though there were lots of CGI pictures of snakes.
And the song at the end? LO f*cking L.
Of course, I had a swell time with those crazy kids I like,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uterdic and smarbaby. It was a good crowd with plenty of obnoxious kids yelling at the screen, cheering at the foolishness, and laughing in all the right places. Preview night is always a fun night to see a movie, even if the movie in question totally M*therf*cking Sucks.
That said, I've been forced to add a few things to the "On Notice" Board.
Did anybody see who else got cut tonight from Who Wants to be a Superhero?
I only saw Creature get cut, and then we had to leave to get good seats for SoaP.
