Geeks in a Theater

Today the software team took off early to go see Snakes on a Plane. (It’s quite the phenomenon on teh internets, y’know…)

Much to our surprise, the movie had a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes before we left. (It’s down to 63% now, which is stull hugely high for this particular motion picture.)
It really is a fun, campy pic. Don’t get me wrong, it’s bad. It’s tremendously stupid, and it certainly isn’t art, but it’s a good time if you want to go get rowdy in a movie theater.

More than anything, I can’t get over how much fun Sam Jackson has had being part of SoaP. Good for him.

    Isn’t the flight in the film coming from Hawaii? ‘Cause we don’t have any snakes here.

    any snakes there…yet

    Actually you do get the occasional snake on the loose there. What would really be scary is if the SOAP were heading *to* Hawaii :-).

    The flight is Honolulu-LA, but they discuss the lack of snakes in HI, actually.

    Yeah, it was interesting how willing the movie was to point out the accuracy about snakes. They mentioned no snakes in HI, for example.

    In particular, they were unwilling to just unleash random snakes on the plane - they HAD to justify why the snakes, who don’t bite unless provoked, were so hostile.
