Now, there is a lot to be said about entertainment and good and bad taste.
I am not going to stand long on this soapbox, to give a tired speech about poor creative choices or unnecessary white-noise. No, I am going to alert your attention long enough to observe this. Please, click the link below, observe what I am talking about, then resume reading this post.
Ok.
You’ve seen it once. So have I. That is all that you need.
My first question is Did someone actually write this, thinking it would be a great movie to watch? Snakes do not scare me, for one, but even from an action movie standpoint, this movie looks terrible! How many times can we expect to see numerous one-liners from the passengers, and Samuel L? How many different ways are they going to slither up on a person? How many different ways are there to kill a snake? How many ways are there to kill a snake…on a plane?!
Honestly!!
I don’t need to see the film to know that this is a bad movie! Why are these sorts of things encouraged? Why is money being spent to pay people to make these wastes of time? If I had some influence in the industry, I would put an end to all the shitty scripts being submitted by writers. I would encourage actual writers, creative thinkers and successful ones too (Michael Chriton’s magic touch in the film industry as long since fallen away, and he should move on), and have them come up with original ideas.
No more books to film, let’s hold off on that. No more re-makes or “re-imaginings” of old, good films. No more “so real you can feel the blood” horror films. Whatever happened to the thrill of suspense? Remember Hitchcock anyone? Remember why Psycho was so scary? Because you never saw the killer!!!
For goodness sake! A medium has been taken away from the people who can really make it worthwhile, and it’s been given to the dopes in suits who have their sights on money and profit over story and acting, and they have ripped out the audience’s mind, put it in a blender and handed it back to us, with the option of putting butter on top. Stupid movies will perpetuate stupidity!
No. I have to stop.
This rant can go on.
I can’t believe they are making a movie called Snakes on a Plane. That haiku horoscope was right…
AMEN! Now that I am sufficiently angry at the Hollywood shit machine, as if that trailer wasn’t enough, I’m telling you, we need to protest this movie, write letters, call radio and tv. Just like Moral Majority did to “The Last Temptation of Christ” and will no doubt be doing to “The Da Vinci Code.” This movie is intellectual blasphemy and needs to be shut down!
