Snakes on a Plane is like Mcdonalds

Saw Snakes on a Plane yesterday. I have been trying to put my finger on whether I liked it or I didn't. I liked it because I laughed at normal dialog, like "Do as I say and you live". I didn't like it because it wasn't aware enough of its own cheese... That it actually is a bad bad movie. The only people who were aware of it were the marketting execs who sold it, and Sam Jackson.

Finally, I came up with the analogy that it is like Mcdonalds. It is Bad - But it is good. I shouldn't have to pay for it because I am going to end up feeling sick. It isn't good for me, but there is a certain flavor that makes me like it. For the movie though, I am angry that I paid normal movie prices... but I wouldn't have wanted to see it on dvd. It would lose even more cheese value.

The movie is crap. The only reason it is good, is because the marketing execs decided that they would try to spin the turd into something different and see what happens. Internet marketting is cheap, so who cares right? If you understand you have been sold when you walk in, you are good to go. (Just like understanding that a Mcdonalds patty isn't really meat even though it is 100% pure beef).

I don't even know where this post is going anymore. Basically it makes me angry when I hear people say "I would go see it again", because that is just retarded.

"Little Miss Sunshine" is the movie to see though, that is a damn good movie.

Thanks, I'll save my Canadian coin and go see Sunshine.
I remember when Striptease came out and they plugged it as the Drama of a mother trying to get her daughter back and the 2 weeks later it was a comedy..
They could have saved the tape and just said ,"come see Demi Moores tits!"

at the end of the day, it doesnt matter... Your still the tool who paid 10 dollars to go see a movie about snakes on a plane... Really was the post necessary?

"Necessary, Is it necessary that I drink my own urine. No, but its sterile and I like the Taste" Dodgeball

hmm, I too have lost all direction... Im sorry for even replying...
