Ohhh yeah the movie will be a rental for me , it's not a movie theatre flic for me.

The big burm is owned by hernry pourin of B.C Canada her name is kitty

Theres a couple of pics of him,kitty and the handler that was in charge of the snakes.

i just got back from this movie and it is amazing...u better all go see it...its awesome :eek:

I saw it last night its not that bad but it does put snakes in a bad light and thats not fair. It was more funny than anything not a movie I would buy:grabbed:

The movie doesn't put snakes in a bad light. The snake expert in the movie even said, "This is strange. Snakes don't randomly attack people. There has to be something provoking them." And the snakes WEREN'T randomly attacking people. It was that hormone stuff.

I think "Dumb" is the best word to describe it. No, I'm not gonna see it. "Don't judge the book by it's cover?" How's about I judge it by the previews and the title:

A bunch of snakes are on a plane. Ignorant humans fear them. Then a ball python bites some guy. Sammy J 'opens up a can' on them. The End.

Result? More intolerant churchmoms keep their children away from me if Julio is in my bra at the pet store. It's gonna be a detrement to society, I tell ya.

Something about the name makes me wonder,where did hollywoods imagination go?

I think it's more likely that they just couldn't think of anything else to call it. I mean, there's already a movie called "Snakes" and a movie called "Airplane," so really there just wasn't an alternative title.

Although, I guess it could be worse...

Ok, I know it's going to be a dumb movie... But just like Anaconda, Python vs. Boa and whatever else that I knew would suck and watched anyway, I can't stay away from it!! I like horror movies of all kinds and "Creature Features" are a favorite of mine... So I'm sorry if this makes me drop a few IQ points in some of your eyes, but for those of you who will watch it... See ya at the movies!!

:O I just read this!! Exactly what pet stores are you frequenting and when?!?!

:w00t: :worship:

Just saw it...I thought it was aight.

Did not misrepresent snakes in any way...hahahaha.

I doubt I will see it. I believe this type of movie is why so many people are afraid and dislike snakes!

"Snakes on a Plane" was the working title, but it's the only reason Jackson took the part - they were going to change it to "Pacific Air 121" but he threatened to leave the picture! I think it adds to the kitsch appeal :)
I think inaccurate news reports in the papers and on TV are much more detrimental to snakes - they come from people that viewers trust, and then believe, instead of a movie that doesn't try to hide its silly factor at all.

they could have called it flight of the serpents or something.

I hope it will be the opposite and more people will be exposed to herps, and perhaps some interest may be raised about this "underground" hobby to the regular public.

I love it when I'm at work and I show people pictures and they go, "is that venomous?" i can't help but laugh.

"Snakes on a Plane" doesn't the title say it all.... sounds extremly dull...how much can happen on a plane? what can the snakes do? are they plotting a way of escape!
if the snakes win, eveybody dies, the plane will crash and the snakes are dead as well.
if the snakes loose, then they'll die or a mix of some dead (being sucked outta the plane) and some finally in captivity until they land... the end..2 hrs and & $20 bucks later... I wouldn't be a happy camper.... :mad: :taz:

I'm not sure if I'll see it in the theater, but I'll probably rent it. The pop-culture appeal alone is great, and the cheese-ball title lets you know that it's anything but serious.

I can't seriously imagine that this movie alone will change someone into a snake-hater if they're not one already, and I can't imagine anyone getting anything other than rolled eyes if they tried to use it as evidence of the evilness of snakes. Can't you see that conversation?

1:"You have a snake? How can you do that, didn't you see Snakes on a Plane!?"

2: Momentary baffled look. "Bwa-ha-ha-ha!"

Of course, after the movie The Net came out, my mother-in-law warned me against using my credit card to buy online, so I guess anything is possible . . .

Here I usually go to Petco in Lakewood WA. But when I posted that, I was thinking of when I lived in Wisconsin. I worked at Drs. Foster & Smith warehouse, and on more than one occasion I did run into a woman who scorned me while I was shopping at the F&S outlet store... she said something along the lines of "the devil was a serpent" and then shuffled herself and her children out of the store. The second time I encountered her she just stared me daggers from across the store until I left.

I by no means meant anything against churchmoms in general. Just the intolerant ones.

How funny, it's a shame though that people aren't more tolerant of other peoples' hobbies or wishes. Especially when they are completely harmless! Could you imagine giving someone the "evil eye" because they had a collie or something in a Petco or some similar place! And in my experience dogs are more likely to bite or at least growl defensively than snakes acting in an aggressive manner. But I guess it comes with the territory... At least down here in the "Bible Belt".
