Snakes on a Plane
Just got back from the 10:45 Thursday showing at the Alamo Drafthouse. In case you don’t know, the Alamo Drafthouse is a movie theater that’s basically got a row of tables in front of your chair, and you can order food and much more importantly, beer. On this night the movie theater was fairly empty, but it was the die hard fans there, most of them sporting Snakes on a Plane t-shirts. Anyway about the movie, it was absolutely horrible. But really, can you really go see a movie called Snakes on a Plane and not expect it to be horrible?
As the movie title implies, there was a plane and there were snakes on said plane. There was also a good bit a gore, some boob action, and Samuel L. Jackson being his bad motherf***ing self. The plot, as expected, was totally thin to the point of being non-existant. The supporting characters were sterotypical and one dimentional. All in all, a really bad movie. But, a movie so bad, it’s awsome. Really. To get the maximum entertainment value from this movie, you need to manage your expectations before going into the theater. Hopeuflly, you’ll be surrounded by people like-minded like you, and just sit back and enjoy a really bad movie. Oh yeah… and a couple of beers wouldn’t hurt either.
