Well, after all the anticipation, Robyn and I, along with a group of Flickrites, went to Atlantic Station to see Motherfucking Snakes on a Motherfucking Plane… And honestly? I doubt they could have made a better film than they did…
Everyone knows the premise by now, even if you didn’t believe it was real… During a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who’s a witness in protective custody, let loose a crate full of deadly snakes. Then all hell breaks loose, and it’s just awesome!
It also helps that the audience were getting really into it, cheering when the title came on screen and, of course, when Sammy L. says “I’ve had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!” they have to at that point, it’s fan power that got that line in there in the first place, screaming when snake after snake comes popping out unexpectidly causing me to laugh my ass off. A really great experience all in all… I imagine that, given a few months down the line, when this becomes a DVD rental, it might not be as enjoyable as it was with that Friday night audience, but who knows? And for the audience squeels alone I class this as the best film I’ve seen all year, and if this doesn’t win at least 13 Oscars next March, well, then there is absolutely no justice in this world…
Snakes on a plane man, snakes on a motherfucking plane…
