samuel l jackson at my theater... suit and afro... afro i dotn know why i guess from an earlier film role i never saw?scem0 said:What did they dress up as?Snakes?

our theater was kinda lame. we had a couple teenagers on dates sitting in the row in front of us who kept telling us to shut up. i really have to wonder about people who go to a movie called "Snakes on a Plane" and expect people to be quiet. i really hope those teens didn't score that night. that's what they get for having lame girlfriends. other than that, what an awesome movie.

How could those teens do that to you
That sucks though, what was the greatest aspect about the movie to me was the atmosphere of everyone being so roudy, loud, and excited 
It's the schizophrenic reviews like this which pretty much guarantee I won't bother to cross the street to see it. How a Classic (8.5 stars out of 10) movie, "Citizen Kane" could be mentioned in the same sentence with a B movie like "Waterworld", is troubling enough, let alone wondering what a snake farce has to do with either?

well said. between that and 8 1/2 i could sleep for hours on end.
citizen kane not being nearly as bad as 8 1/2 though...

Agreed.
I'd gladly rather watch "Waterworld" AND "Snakes on a Plane" than that.
I think the conditioning that's gone into making "Citizen Kane" a classic is far more severe than the genuine hype that propelled "Snakes on a Plane" to the cult hit its become.

Check out in particular the "overview" and "filmmaking innovations" sections.
That's aside from it being a great tale of an idealistic man slowly succumbing to corruption.

Ah, so just because a film does something first, it's a classic?
Using that logic, I'll have to trade in my iPod for a Nomad - afterall, they developed the technique of playing MP3s on a portable digital music player first. It's a classic!

i understand why it's a monumental film, and over time i've come to like it more... but as entertainment, it just bores me. i'm sure it didn't help that i saw it in class as an "assignment", etc... i slept through a lot of good, and bad, movies in classes...
One word; Awesome!
Although, at times it almost seemed they were trying to make a serious movie. Which I did not enjoy, I was hoping for a complete and utter farce, oh well. It was still incredibly enjoyable.

I was just saying that in the computer industry, something isn't considered great simply because it was first to market and in turn, a film shouldn't be considered great simply because it was the first to use certain techniques.
As far as B&W goes, I'm more of a Metropolis, Oliver Twist, The Most Dangerous Game, Fantomas kinda guy.

Well, I saw this tonight, and I have to say it was the most farcical, most ridiculous piece of excessively camped up nonsense I've seen in a cinema ever.
It was great. I haven't laughed at a film so much in ages.
