Snakes On A Mother*&#@ing Plane

"Snakes on a Plane" has been one of the most hyped films of the year, regardless of whether it's any good. When I first heard about this movie, I honestly thought it was a joke. Samuel L. Jackson fighting snakes... on a plane. But I admit, I've gotten caught up in the hype, which has been brilliant. Websites are devoted to this movie, short films are popping up and T-Shirts are all over the place (yes, I own one). The title says it all. And yet, I haven't heard anything about the actual film itself. I've seen the trailer several times, and I doubt that it will be screened for critics, who would probably look down on it anyway. But even without any commentary about SoaP, I am full of anticipation. Besides, this isn't a film for critics. It's "Snakes on a Plane". And while I can be critical of films, there's a certain kitsch level that is exciting. The movie opens here Thursday night. My wife and I will be in line, expecting two hours of mindless entertainment. Now I wonder where they'll put the snakes for the sequel...
