Anaconda movie question

HollyWood... = Uncle Sams right hand man
I know it sounds a bit far fetched , but I have always been convinced that government and the movie industry have been hand in hand to a degree to curb legislature.... think about it

No shot Robert! It all depends, of course, on which side is in government. When the Republicans & Conservatives hold office, Hollywood's only desire is to make the government look as bad as possible whether warranted or not. When the Democrats & Liberals are in office, Hollywood's only desire is to make them look as good as possible, whether warranted or not!

Unless, of course, Reagan is the office-holder in question, in which case Hollywood goes out of their way to support their own.

I have to agree with you there eddie! I should have specified which party
The press are the same

Just from the movie previews it is about as real as Alien v Predator or Pete's dragon. It is hollywood taking peoples unfounded fear of what they don't understand and trying to capitalize on it. Just to "beat a dead horse" 150' per second x 60 second is 9000 feet per minute, 9000 feet per minute x 60 minutes is 540,000 feet per hour or 102.2 miles per hour. Come on hollywood what happened to research ???

When I saw that trailer I just laughed hysterically I mean didn't these people go to at least a Zoo to see how Anaconda's behave. I have never seen a Green Anaconda in the wild but I'm pretty sure they
1. Don't get 60 feet long
2. Slither at 45 Mph
3. Specifically constrict someone then release and then grab their head and twist it to break the prey's neck.

I am a huge Sci-Fi fan so I know all about "suspension of disbelief" but this is a tad ridiculus

:confuse: :imslow: Nuts! ;)

You know what makes me mad? how after people see these movies, they think they know everything about that snake. movies like that actually make people BELIEVE that snakes are killing machines! i'll mention i have a ball python to some one and they'll go "OMG, YOU HAVE A PYTHON?! ARENT YOU SCARED IT'LL BITE YOU AND TRY KILLING YOU? You know they can constrict!?!?! i saw in this movie once....." I'm like "ummm.... no." it just really bothers me! it's like hollywood producers will pick on ANYTHING to make money. next, they're going to have man eating kids. so when some one has a baby, some one else will say "OMG, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A BABY?? THEY BITE, THEY CAN ATTACK WITH RATTLES!! I saw in this movie once...."

Gah. Pathetic.

More often than not when somone finds out I have snakes one of the first questions out of their mouths is "How big are they?/Aren't you afraid they will get out and kill you?"

I usually laugh and explain what exactly I have. Yeah I can see it now I was head shy/tounge flicked to death by my Ball Python. :lol:
