I'm excited to see it because Samuel L. Jackson called me personally and told me to go see it. :D

He never called me. The bum.

He should have. Your phone must be broken.

Went to the Midnight showing of Snakes on a Plane last night.

Wow, I freakin' loved it. The audience was great too, we clapped so much during the thing, I have never laughed so hard at a movie, or said "OH SH!T!" so much.

Quite simply, if you're following the hype, you'll know what to expect. This film has given no lies during it marketing, so if you go and don't like it, its your own damn fault. You knew what you were getting the moment you read the films title.

I totally want to see it again.

I rented The Matador last night...anyone else see it?

I really liked it. I laughed quite a bit.

I actually just read a pretty gushing review of Snakes on CNN. To be honest, for someone who had no interest in seeing this in the theater, I'm starting to change my mind.

Freaky Tiki 08-19-2006 02:06 PM

I think the people who are seeing it are liking it more because they know exactly what to expect, if you know what you're getting when you pay how can you be disappointed? I mean look at advertising nowadays.

Let me use the movie Click as an example. When I saw the previews, I knew they were trying to draw the usual Sandler audience into it. It looked like your usual slapstick comedy. But you go to the movie, iand its a long drawn out sob story that got the humor out in the first half hour. How are Sandler fans going to like that? They were there to see people get wacked in the balls, but instead they got a life lesson. Just because you tricked them into seeing the movie doesn't mean they're going to like it.

When you go to Snakes on a Plane, you get just that...Snakes on a Mother******* Plane!

Damn but the trailer we saw today is how trailers SHOULD be done. Sense of adventure, hint of cover-up, essence of the unknown because it didn't tell the whole damn story in the trailer. I already can't wait to see it.

And I don't even like Transformers!

Matterhorn Fan 08-19-2006 08:58 PM

I remember rolling my eyes at that one.

Since when do Transformers come from Mars? And what happened to the good ones? I don't remember them all being evil.

But I haven't really thought about Transformers since the 80's.

Ooh! And there's a movie with Dick Van Dyke about museums coming to life. I probably saw all his footage in the preview, but I'll go see the movie anyhow because he's in it. Even if does probably suck.
