Snakes...Where?

I've avoided it long enough, and I can't do it any more. I am being forced to mention the upcoming "thriller" flic Snakes on a Plane. The movie is exactly what it sounds like. Somehow, a bunch of snakes end up on a plane, and it's up to Mace Windu to save the day. Samuel L. Jackson, I have a ton of respect for you and your work, but I think it's time to fire you're fu*?!g agent. What the hell are you thinking?!?!

What sparked this little rant was a recent "hottie recap", which Joblo laced with references to this movie. Now, while hottie news isn't exactly the most astute and interesting movie news out there, why the hell are Snakes getting in the way of my other news? Joblo, I love you and you're site, but enough Snakes already.

I agree completely with Joblo that Snakes is sure to be one of "the greatest cult classic in the history of movies." But by the same token, there's generally a good reason these stay "cult classics" and really recieve little mainstream attention. To be honest, they're usually not very good movies.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not against movies that gain a cult following. I happen to enjoy a few myself. But c'mon, stop letting this really dumb Snakes movie get in the way of my movie news. It's not going to be that good. Those who enjoy it will fall in love with it, but most of us are going to be ready to move on well before it's over. Never being a big fan of monster movies, I'm already ready to move on. Give me my movie news fresh, exciting and untainted by Snakes.
