I HAVE THE INFO

Snakes On A Motherf*ckin Plane

Snakes on a Plane. Took wifey to see this for her birthday last weekend. No lie. She wanted to see it.

I will say this: The whole experience reminded me of watching the DVD release of Dawn of the Dead. (Side Note: I have a major zombie movie problem, although I tend to stick with the Return of the Living Dead and George Romero movies…notable exceptions include 28 Days Later, the Resident Evil series, and Night of the Comet.)

Anyway, watching DOTD,I had the director’s commentary on. Now, as you may or may not know serious, grade A gorey stuff goes down in Dawn of the Dead. People’s heads get blown off, A zombie’s head is pierced with a broken croquet mallet, a zombie baby is shot…that kind of stuff. And almost without fail, when said gorey stuff goes down, the director in the director’s commentary says, completely deadpan:

“…and there it is” or “…there it is. That’s what you came to see…”

I couldn’t help but hearing their voice in my head throughout Snakes on a Plane. The couple attempting to get into the mile high club, the guy being bitten in his nono place in the lavatory, the newly wed couple, ever so in love, buying it the way that they do and last and certainly not least, Sam Jackson delievering the line that people have been talking about since this stupid movie was in preproduction.

That is what I was there for, that was what I paid to see.

Completely satisfing and adequete summer entertainment. 2 thumbs up.
