Cheers!!! lol

(I havn't seen the movie yet), but we do have a section of DVD's I call "cult worthy" Pulp Fiction, Lost Boys, The Howling,etc....

Back on topic.... Did anyone read the interview in Reptile mag.?? They pushed the fact that they knew they were doing subs. on certin snakes,etc... and asked that the hobbiest out there not get turned off, or scream, "hey that's a corn snake"...& so on. Isn't the plot that they get somekind of hormone enhanced anger thing!?!?!?

Yeah. they had 'female pharamones' as the trigger. LOL, apparently burms get the hots for female rattlesnakes.

There is salamanila (sp?) everywhere, that is why she is sick all the time (which btw she is not). She even said that now a 14ft bp ate a full grown man (haha) and that "its alot stronger than you think". I'm pretty sure that Yoshi is thinking about choking me to death everytime I hold him....yeah I am sure. She thinks this all because of THIS movie. Oh and because of everything she has read online. I could understand her concern if I had a full grown burm or a rattlesnake with the baby but I have BP and I see no danger, expecially when the baby doesn't have any contact with them.

sorry for the off topic rant.....


But yeah the movie looks funny but alot off people are going to be warded off snakes and thats sad.

Wow, I think your grandma totally missed the point. I don't see this happening ith a lot of people unless they go into the movie wanting to come out thinking badly of snakes. And mr~python - you can yell at the screen all you want because so does everyone else! Part of the point of the movie is that everyone should by now know that none of the snakes in the movie are actually like that. There was a lot of hooting and cheering when corn snakes were killing people, it's a hoot.

I liked seeing the African Rock Python though. He was very pretty :D
I did a little tally in my head and tried to identify all the snake species I could - there's even a Boelen's Python!

LOL have you tried pointing our ACCURATE websites for her? No matter what I say everyone in my family is automatically an expert on snakes and I am kinda losing my ability to laugh at "Well, what if it gets bigger than you expect" or "What if its not a ball".
Like i wouldnt notice if my cute little crowley just up and turned into a retic. They don't get 14 feet over night.
Its amusing.

I did too! I was shouting and laughing the whole time - i loved the bathroom scenes in the movie! hollywood gold.

At first I thought the same thing as you....and thought that Hollywood was being prejuicide against reptiles....I still think that you'd never see "Ravenous canines on a plane"...snakes/reptiles are surely easy targets as mentioned previously

Then I thought maybe I'm being too serious...the movie isnt a documentary--its a grade B Horror flick....people who take this movie serious are likely already fairly scared of snakes.....so they just have a serious case of confirmation basis.

Alternatively, they might leave in a world of dreams.....after all there are people that believe that great movies like Star Wars are real. There are also people who think L. Ron Hubbard novels are real.

I am going to write them hate mail tomorrow morning. They had a local pet shop bring several non-venomous snakes into the studio and everyone was screaming and hollering. The bet was how long he could keep them in there without freaking out. The prize: Unlimited amount of tickets to the movie.

I love this negative publicity for our beloved snakey friends. Man I am P-O at them. They are normally a better station to listen to. Grrrrr.

The ultimate result of this movie for the hobby is probably unkown....it could have no lasting effect or an overall positive or negative effect....who knows? There are certainly some negative things like this that will result form this movie.

But there could also be some positive things.....

For the people who are not terrified and just ignorant about snakes....the movie could serve as a springboard for education. Who knows if we'd have Shark week on the Discovery channel without "Jaws"? Maybe they'll put an educational feature on the DVD?

It not exactly a comparable stituation since no one keeps great whites in their house....plus Jaws is probably a better movie than this one :sunny:

OK.... Just got home from the movie! LMAO! It was SSSOOO bad in SSSOOO many good ways! We busted out over and over.... and I'm with you, instant "catch" phrases! My personal fav. was, "TIME IS TISSUE"!!! HAHAHA! love it.

Haha, Laooda, I had totally forgotten about that line. I wish someone would hurry up and come up with a large list of movie quotes for it. My favorite, other than the obvious, was "this plane is going down like a Thai ******".
hehe

Just another excuse for people to talk about "the dangers of snakes" when they don't really know anything. I'll probably see it though.
