Is anybody excited about "Snakes On A Plane"? One of the other

[Radio_Lady]

film reviewers in Portland posted this on her blog.



I don't think there are plans to screen this for this press, but I could be wrong about that.

[DemsRBetterLovers]

1. I HAD IT WITH THESE SNAKES!!!

I am so going to see this movie. Once sober, once not sober.

[Radio_Lady]

3. So, you plan to see it TWICE? Just askin' --

Once is clearly not enough for you!

[Cannikin]

2. -chirp-chirp-chirp

[Radio_Lady]

4. Cannikin, is that birdies or crickets -- or tinnitis?

[Cannikin]

5. Lets go with tinnitis!

:+

8. What did you say? I can't HEAR you! I've got a banana in my ear!

[pitohui]

6. how much are people paid to pimp this movie?

seriously there have been multiple threads on this not very interesting sounding movie for months

i realize someone is paying these people, i just want to know how much and how i can get my cut

[Radio_Lady]

9. I have no idea. It's a freebie for me -- a volunteer reviewer, actually

retired, but still heard locally and on line at Oregon Public Broadcasting.

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Quit whining.

You don't care about it? Fine. Let those of us who are interested have our fun.

[Pale Blue Dot]

12. Wanna bet you won't have fun?

You're going to be sorry you spent your money.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. No I won't.

I'll be downloading it.

[Radio_Lady]

17. Play nicely, now. Radio_Lady will be in Victoria, BC, Canada on 8/18/06.

On vacation.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I'll be on the very opposite end of the country, haha.

[Radio_Lady]

21. I see what you mean. St. Johns, Newfoundland, with your unusual

time zone -- I've talked with one or two authors who live there.

34. Enough that my new hobby

is snorting lines of coke off a hooker's ass.

[ghostsofgiants]

35. I haven't even SEEN my fucking cheque yet.

I'm really curious to see if that movie will be any good at all. (By "good", I mean "entertaining".) I'm already hearing a lot of anti-snakeplane backlash.


29th-Jul-2006 12:28 am (UTC)

ZOMG! (Radio_Lady's note: Is that a superlative to OMG?)


29th-Jul-2006 12:31 am (UTC)

Apparently there's going to be or already is a straight-to-video "mockbuster" titled Snakes on a Train.


29th-Jul-2006 12:40 am (UTC)

Makes me wish I still subscribed.

I can't remember a film I've heard (or seen) as much of as this one for ages!

Wonderful pic though! *winks*


29th-Jul-2006 11:59 am (UTC)

Wait, that's a real film? I thought it was some kind of running joke.

[ghostsofgiants]

13. ZOMG is indeed a superlative to OMG.

[Radio_Lady]

18. Thanks, primate1. What does the "Z" stand for?

[Radio_Lady]

20. Zeus? Zounds? Zowie?

[ghostsofgiants]

22. It derives from acidentally hitting the Z key while pressing shift...

To capitalize "OMG".

(The fact that I know this is very very sad, haha.)

[Radio_Lady]

24. ROFLOL. Yes, it's a new book: "How A Random Keystroke Connected Me...

With God"!

Pretty damned funny, primate1!

[Radio_Lady]

26. Here's what I think of when you mention Newfoundland...

Two pretty adorable pups!

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. Don't get me started

This will suck big time while making tons and tons of money. It represents everything that's wrong with the movie business, and anyone who pays money to see it loses all rights to complain about the quality of movies EVER.

Look, folks, even if it was merely FUN they would screen it for the critics. This movie is a motherfuckin' dog.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. That's the whole point.

People KNOW it's going to be bad. People KNOW it's going to be cheesy. It's camp. It's all about just how bad it's going to be.

[Pale Blue Dot]

25. Cheese can be good. BAD can be good.

And if this movie was good IN ANY WAY, they would screen it for the critics.

[Radio_Lady]

27. You mean like "Shawn of the Dead" good?

[Pale Blue Dot]

29. "Shawn of the Dead" was not only screened in advance for critics,

it got great reviews when it was.

[Radio_Lady]

38. Alternate spelling... it's SHAUN. I don't recall being invited to this

screening in 2004, but you could certainly be right.

I saw the film in a Seattle hotel room last year -- cracked me up completely! It's a terrific film!

In peace,

Radio_Lady in Oregon

[Radio_Lady]

23. Here's my take on that. Sometimes, if a movie is REALLY BAD,

the major studios won't screen it. Also, if it's REALLY GOOD, they might "trim the list" and get only a few reviewers to see it.

This also happens with small, independent movies that are actually very good (or bad). They simply don't have the money to use for marketing and publicity.

[Elidor]

28. No - it's a motherfuckin' SNAKE

And there ain't a GOT-DAMNED thing you can do about it!

[Radio_Lady]

39. We'll have to see about that. I guess the movie has some kind of

ending.

[Radio_Lady]

15. OK, here's some serious information at IMDB.com

30. I got that magazine in the mail today!

:D

[Radio_Lady]

31. Yes, I pick it up periodically but don't subscribe to it.

[El Fuego]

32. The title of the article is "Slithering Heights"

Ha! You can always count on EW for a good bad pun.

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Haha, awesome.

[Radio_Lady]

37. Oh, I love those punny headlines. They're as imaginative as hell.
