Watching that film was like standing at the bottom of Cooper Hill on the day of the annual cheese rolling. You're sat there looking up at the really painfully obvious oncoming plot, wondering who's going to fall over and who isn't, but knowing that some people aren't going to make it down. All the time surrounded by the stench of fast moving edam. The jumpy scenes are almost all predictable, only one got me and that's because i thought they wouldn't bother leaving it that late (enough spoilers).
There may be a stereotype they missed off the cast list, but i doubt it. The scene they re recorded for the "i'm sick of these motherfucking snakes..." was badly done. You can see they stuck it in as an afterthought, it reminded me of the old stopgap films where the person is run over by a steamroller, a flicker as it changes between the person and a dummy.
Was it worth watching? Yes, but i'd recomend taking along a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, it should match the film quite well.

I got that feeling when I was on an internal flight in the US. The bog had clogged up with tissue, but soft and hard.Kid_Eternity said:That film made me never want to piss in a plane toilet again.

I think you're being far too harsh. I would liken the film to Speed. Except that unlike Speed, Snakes on a Plane accepts that it has little to no story line and plays off that. Rather than making a film in spite of it having no plot, they have made a film that (parodys isnt the word I want to use here but its what keeps popping into my head as something close, I cant think of the word so I shall add another paragraph to clarify)Bob_the_lost said:
I think what I'm trying to say is that the film is very obvious in terms of revealing things about the characters - the characters do just tend to say all sorts of things that normally they'd think, so at least at the start it does resemble the first attempts of a GCSE English/Drama student who has yet to learn about the different ways you can reveal information in a story other than just have characters say "I'm happy" or "I'm scared." But rather than being seemingly unaware of this the film's producers/director seem to play off how terrible it is and use it to their advantage. *
And I have to say I've never seen a film at the cinema before that made me jump out of my seat but Snakes on a Plane made me jump twice
*gergl will be along shortly to say what I've said but much clearer I'm sure

Why do I find this homage really endearing?
