scottVishere Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 What the hell is the whole film about anyways and it soounds bad anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The movie is about exactly what the title says. A bunch of snakes on a plan, although how they got there is a mystery to me. As far as I'm concerned there will never be a better Samuel L Jackson movie than Pulp Fiction. I can't believe how hyped up this movie was WAY before it was released and now that I see the cheesy commercials, I'm definately all set. The next movie I see will be Saw III.

coasterdude5 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Everyone I know wants to see it so I guess I'll have to go see it. I still don't get if it's supposed to be a comedy or a serious movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not For Sale Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 They explain how they got there in the movie they were shipped in a box of what was supposed to be leis. The problem is, how did they get a seemingly 400 lb box of snakes onto a plane without looking suspicious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The film only came in at #2 this weekend (estimated) 1 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby Sony $14,100,000 2 Snakes on a Plane NL $13,850,000 Kind of thought that with all the hype it would have done better. I wonder if the move to change it from a PG-13 to an R rating actually hurt it? --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did they change about it-more gore, boobs, or both? Heck, I still thought it was PG-13. Not that it makes a difference, should be kickass-I'm going tomorrow.

USRoadTripper Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 This movie to me looks like a blatant attempt at making a cult movie. The cheesy title, the way it was hyped months before the release, the fact that it's funny in a situation that wouldn't be funny if it were real...it reeks of cult classic to me! I wanna see it just for that reason! -Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvcoasterguy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Actually, the MPAA limit for use of the f-word in a PG-13 movie is two times. If you go over two, it's an R rated movie. I'm sure there are other factors also, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J man Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I thought you could only get by with using the F-word once in a PG-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the move to change it from a PG-13 to an R rating actually hurt it? --Robb I think that may have had a little something to do with it, but it wasn't the main reason. I'm picturing this flick as doing 10 times better in DVD sales than it does in theatrical release. Like Julie said, the "cult classic" thing makes me wanna see it for a good laugh, but like many folks out there, I'm not willing to pull the trigger on a $30 outing to the movies to see this crap. I'll just wait until it hits the small screen over and over again *cough* TNT, TBS *cough*. I'm just glad to see the trilogy final complete....Anaconda, Lake Placid, and now Snakes.

I'm sure there are other factors also, though. That's actually not true at all. It depends on the use, the situation, the subject matter, etc. As someone who works in the entertainment industry with many films, the MPAA, and the ESRB it's a common misconception that the number of times a certain word is used in a film automatically equals as certain rating. This is in many times the case, but is NOT the "rule", for example.... From Wikipedia's very good explanation of the rating system: If a film uses "one of the harsher sexually derived words" (such as f**k) 1-3 times, it is routine today for the film to receive a PG-13 rating, provided that the word is used as an expletive and not with a sexual meaning (this was mentioned in Be Cool, when Chili Palmer complains about the movie industry. Humorously, "f**k" is said only in that scene, giving the movie a PG-13). An example of a film that might suggest this criteria is Waiting for Guffman, which contains mostly PG-13 (some could even argue PG) content, yet is rated R because a man auditioning for a role uses "f**k" (the only time it is spoken in the movie), in a sexual sense. Exceptions may be allowed, "by a special vote of the ratings board" where the board feels such an exception would better reflect the sensibilities of American parents. A couple of exceptions were noted: rare films such as Guilty by Suspicion were allowed as many as 9 uses of the word; probably due to the precedent set in the 1970s by politically important films such as All the President's Men. It is a common misconception that if a movie uses "f**k," in a nonsexual context, more than once, it will automatically receive an R rating. In reality, PG-13 movies are routinely allowed two or three uses. More can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPAA_film_rating_system From what I understand (read in an issue of Daily Variety a few months ago), Snakes went back and added more violence and gore for the R-Rating. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was also pretty shocked that it didn't do better this weekend. After all the hype, etc. I certainly think making it R probably hurt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
