L:KJS:OIDQJWO:IJD:LKJSD OMG SO FREAKING AWESOME. I have seriously not had that much fun at a movie in a long time, omg.
- I was trying to decide which side of the fine line between clever and stupid this movie fell on and I actually — surprisingly! — ended up on the “clever” side. No, really. Because when it comes to parody, you’ve got to be able to take the things you’re mocking and turn them on their heads in order to make it work (which is why all these Scary Movie 4 type movies fail for me); you can’t just acknowledge it and point and laugh. And I really did feel like SoaP took all sorts of B-Movie stereotypes and turned them inside out. [OMG STOP LAUGHING AT ME, I'M SERIOUS.]
- And how did I arrive at the decision that it was clever and not stupid? During the spork scene. SPORK, FOLKS, SPORK. With the vast amount of internet hype and viral marketing going on, are you going to tell me that the spork joke wasn’t a purposeful reference to the internet and all its sporking capabilities? It cannot be a coincidence, it just can’t.
- As I assume happened at everyone else’s viewings, the audience totally clapped when he said “Enough is enough, I’ve had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.” I mean really, how could you not.
- It was actually alot more gory than I thought it would be. I mean, I knew they went back and made it more violent but it’s not the type of violence I usually like in films. Meh.
- Did anyone else feel like it was a total throwback to Jurassic Park in parts? Like when he had to go down the dark corridor to manually turn back on the whatever device? Luckily snakes can’t open doors the way Velociraptors can. HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS. And this time he got to keep his arm!
- I didn’t think I’d really have any reason to ever say “AW!” in this movie, but I kept doing it all the time. Mainly in relation to the kids, but also by the OTPness of Samuel L. Jackson and Julianna Marguilese. bwahaha.
- You know what else I loved? The guy who played Dick in High Fidelity as the snake expert. We just kept yelling “YAY DICK!” and he was great.
- SNAKES ON CRACK. THAT IS ALL.
In conclusion: WIN. I am so seeing this movie about a hundred thousand more times.
