<p>Folks, I had no expectations when I went to see <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/snakes_on_a_plane/">Snakes on a Plane</a> this evening.  People were worried that it would not live up to the hype but I wasn&#8217;t worried about that.  I didn&#8217;t even CARE if it did or didn&#8217;t.  I went to see Snakes on a Plane because it was something special.  A film that got to where it was purely on blog hype and mostly unmanufactured hype at that.  The world saw the hilarity of such a simply title and just ran with it.  This might not be ever reproduced, anything that comes after is just going to sound cheesy and too blatant.</p>
<p>So no, I didn&#8217;t care if it was terrible because I would at least be seeing something unique.  But the movie did me one better.  It was actually a hell of a lot of fun to watch.  It&#8217;s pure B-movie.  It&#8217;s silly.  You&#8217;re going to laugh at things that aren&#8217;t meant to be funny.  You&#8217;ll start guessing who&#8217;s going to die and who won&#8217;t.  It has a few jumps and a few surprises.  It&#8217;s even a bit more grotesque than I expected.  All in all, a pretty good ride.  </p>
<p>I imagine it&#8217;ll be even better when you can get it on DVD and invite your wise-ass friends over to give it a MST3K treatment.  I had a few of those in the audience tonight and while they were trying way to hard at first, they calmed down and timed their riffs nicely towards the end.</p>
<p>Seriously, I&#8217;m glad this movie was made.  It&#8217;s proof that a movie studio doesn&#8217;t always have to spend millions upon millions of dollars to make a film we will watch in a theater.  Sometimes all you need is to make a movie that doesn&#8217;t take itself very seriously.  Nice job.</p>
