why do people like snakes on a plane?

[halloweenfreak1]

this just seems lame that someone would do this. I mean have they really ran out of ideas. I mean come on,"snakes on a plane". what the hell is next birds on a boat. I saw the movie and there was no solid plot to it. It wasnt even scary because they spelled it out to you as you walked in. I ask you if you like this why?

I like cheesy action movies and I thought it was funny. I think that was the idea which was executed very well.

Horror can be funny. I laughed my ass of at Dead Alive, but you wouldn't classify that movie as anything but horror, really.

You know all of those people running around saying "Snakes on a Plane is stupid! I don't get why people want to see this! What's wrong with the industry!"? Welll, personally, I think they are the stupid ones for not realizing that this is not meant to be taken seriously.

Honestly, come on people. Let's walk into The Holy Grail and call it stupid.

And yes, he DOES think its FUNNY, because THAT WAS THE POINT. "You think a horror movie was funny?"

Evil Dead. Return of the Living Dead. Re-Animator. Nameless others.

They are all horor movies. They are all comedies. Snakes on a Plane wasn't even all that much a horror, more of an action/thriller - and even then, I'd put it's main category as 'Comedy'.

And to call it stupid, yes, it is. Like I said before, that's the point. But here you have tons of legions of fans that love countless action films. Films that defy gravity, realism, anything. For christ sake's someone could FUCKING blow up in a car and just roll out unscratched and they'd just be like "WOAH THAT WAS FUCKING KICKASS DOOD."

In SoaP, as stupid as the movie is - and wants to be- it isn't entirely brainless. The plot makes sense, the events make sense. They give an explanation where things need to be explain. In other movies you could sit there and say "Why don't they just ____?" In this movie, they say THYE DON'T FUCKING DO THAT BECAUSE OF THIS!!!

The AC is broke. The lays were laced with pharamones. One venom didn't solve everyone's issues. Not eveyone lived.

Of course there were far-fetched moments, but really.

I'm just sick and tired of why people don't simply understand that...

SNAKES ON A PLANE IS A STUPID MOVIE. AND IT WANTS TO BE. THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT.

Thank you.

I don't quite think you're understanding the situation fully here.

It's Snakes.

On.

A Plane.

Call the magazines.

I find it hard to believe you saw the movie, because there actually was a plot.

it's not meant to be scary, it's meant to be venomous snakes on a plane and Sam Jackson yelling a lot. It's like all the cheesiness of one of those Sci-Fi channel original movies but without the delusions of actually being a serious work of film. Snakes on a Plane is Mansquito but without taking itsself seriously. It gave in to the fans liking it because it was what it was, and that only made people like it MORE. Hell, they re-shot stuff to give the audience what it wanted to hear!
