I personally skipped the white boxers, and t-shirt myself, but I did throw the playing cards, and toast, and used the other things in my "bag of "stuff"" at the show when required.

Horray for midnight showings (Saturdays) at Harvard Square in Boston.
(They still run there I think - Check it out if you are ever in Boston. Lowes Theater - Harvard Square.)

Re: Snakes on a Plane

My sister first told me about this, and I started laughing.. Hard. Then when I saw it for myself.. over and over again (yeah.. I went to the movies a lot this month and last), I just... couldn't quite understand.

Although I hope it doesn't get a cult following like RHPS (Because.. well you can only have one, otherwise, it's no longer special), I think it'll ... who am I kidding. I doubt this movie is going to last long in theaters.. and out of them.

It's too late. There already is a cult following. There are already many, many fansites, such as Snakes On A Blog, as well as some LiveJournal groups. This movie has become a huge internet meme in the past few months, especially on LJ.

Re: Snakes on a Plane

See i actually think that all of you will be surprised on how good this movie will be.
I mean, i think they knew everyone would bash it.
So they'd have to make it very good.
I mean, look at some of the other movies that have came out that people really liked that were horrible:
Anacondas:Hunt for the Blood Orchid (ha a another snake movie ha)
Herbie:fully loaded
The Terminal
T3
anything by the Wayans brothers that has came out since Scary Movie 2

So you see, this movie is destined to be good.
Sam made a movie a while back that sort of "flopped" called formula 41 or something like that.
People said it was horrible.
But it was an awesomely funny movie.
I mean how can you go wrong with Samuel L. Jackson in a kilt beating people up with golf clubs along with a witty British guy.
Come on haha
I will go see snakes on a plane for sure.

Re: Snakes on a Plane

It's movies like Snakes on a plane that make my summer worthwhile. Plus Samuel Jackson is in it, they needed to bring him back after he died in Episode 3.

Re: Snakes on a Plane

The first thing I thought of when I saw this movie was Disney World....

They have the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" ride where they use air jets to make it feel like there are mice on the floor.

Now we just need to wait and look at the papers...you know that at least one theater will have the guts to do some sort of air jet rig to make it just that much more enjoyable

Re: Snakes on a Plane

Awesome news! I've gotten my mom to agree to take me to see the midnight show of Snakes on a Plane!

So me and MercuryRising will be there on Thursday/Friday!

I've been waiting for this movie to come out since February. I can't wait!

Re: Snakes on a Plane

Me and at least 2 other people are going to see this 10 PM Thursday night (I still don't get why they're having a 10 PM showing AND a midnight showing, but they are). We chose 10 PM since it's the first one, and we want to be first.

We actually went on a spree looking for stuff today. 4 different stores didn't carry rubber snakes, luckily I was able to find wood ones later that day and a plane as well, so I'm informing them about it. We also got shirts and pre-sale tickets.

This is all my stuff as of right now:

(If anyone is offended by this picture because of the censored words on the shirt please PM me and I'll remove the link)

I read about this in Wired and have been planning since then. This will be good. Thursday needs to come faster!

Wow, that's really awesome. I really need to get myself a shirt.

I was thinking about the 10 PM show, but I decided against it...
