Just got back from the first showing of Snakes on a Plane. That was probably the most fun I've had at the movies in *years*.

The audience is everything at event movies like this. I knew I'd like ours when a dude came in before the movie and yelled "SNAKES!" and another dude across the theater instantly responded "ON A PLANE!"



I was a little worried that the movie wasn't going to live up to the hype, but it did. There were snakes, there was a plane, and there was Samuel L. Jackson being the baddest motherfucker on the *planet*. It was *exactly* what it was supposed to be.

Lots of audience participation, hollering and hissing. When Sam said, "I want you to come to Los Angeles with me," one woman down front yelled, "on a plane!"

That just never got old.

And of course, when we finally got to the line everyone was waiting for, I couldn't even hear Sam Jackson talking about the motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plane because the entire theater was saying the lines along with him.

So my verdict: utterly cheese-tastic.

Also cheese-tastic was the music video at the end, during which I was slashing two of the singers. Because they were cute and giving each other looks. Okay, I can't help myself anymore!

Hee! I am so thrilled that it sounds like everything it could be. We need good, cheesy movies sometimes. Not everything needs to be High Drama.

Man, Snakes on a Plane. I don't even NEED to see it. I just like saying "snakes on a plane." I turned it into a running gag at work and (once I had convinced everyone that yes, it's an actual thing and not something I just made up for kicks) milked it for a good week.
