August 18th Can't Come Soon Enough. . . The Snakes Are Coming

[Just_An_SID]

Yes, we are just a week away from the entertainment highlight of the season (or maybe even the decade).

The debut of Snakes On A Plane. . . the picture that I fully expect to be included among the nominees for 2006 Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

I have seen the trailer on TV a number of times over the last two weeks and get a chill down my spine when Samuel L. Jackson says, in an obviously edited version, "I hate these mother****ing snakes on this mother****ing plane."  It is a line that is sure to go down in cinema history, reminding me when Rhett Butler uttered, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

I have my Fruit Rollups and I have scheduled a mother****ing haircut so I am ready to go.  I can only hope that some theater is going to have a midnight showing somewhere.

Snakes.  On a Plane.  I don't know how Spielberg didn't think of the premise first.

Anyone remember that list that was accidently published several years ago with, I believe it was the AP's sports phone contact list? Someone who still has that thing should get on the Snakes on a Plane Web site and send those phone numbers the Samuel L. Jackson promotional phone call.

"Hello, Pete (Rose). This is Samuel L. Jackson..."

I think it'd be funny.

At great personal risk I sent my wife a Samuel L. Jackson voicemail.

She was laughing so hard that she was nearly in tears when she called to tell me she got it.

Just checked my local movie listings.

Anybody else here got show times like that?

I see a triple-figure-page thread when this comes out.

It would be a helluva drive, but if I leave soon, I can get there for it.

Thanks.

On a seperate note, I can't wait for the DVD to come out.

Basically because of how much it is talked about on here I have been telling all my friends how I can't wait for this movie to come out and they can't figure out why. For that reason, and because it could lead to the ultimate demise of this site, this movie better end up being as unintentionally funny and campy as expected.

Saw it tonight.

Whoa.

Nuff said.

 

[Flash]

I could have seen it tonight. My friend had free passes. I said no. No, thank you. The Summer of Flash does not include seeing movies like that.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

What does the Summer of Flash include, aside from softball and knee injuries?

 

[fever_dog]

i saw it tonight.

if you see just one piece-of-crap, shoulda-gone-right-to-DVD, ****box, brainless, laugh-out-loud-bad movie this summer, make it snakes on a plane, *****.

 

[fever_dog]

it's all of the above roled into one.

i think maybe they started to make a real movie, and then just said, "aw, **** it."

Good friends, good beer, good weather and good times.

 

[spaceman]

This has Oscar all over it.
