Haha. I saw this movie.
What I liked about Snakes on a Plane is that no one even pretended that it was serious or had cinematic integrity. There was a doofy music video at the end, and the scenes that explained why there were snakes on a plane plus the boarding of the plane took all of twenty minutes. The rest was pure, unadulterated snake bites. No attempt was made to make it at all plausible or even flesh it out. It was full of snakes dropping from ceilings, inducing shrieks from the audience, followed by ridiculous death scenes during which everyone laughed. It's been a while since I've been to a movie to which the audience reacted so strongly. We screamed together, laughed together, and clapped when a flight attendant killed a snake with an axe. I laughed harder during that movie than at any of the comedies I've seen this summer.
But the point is this: if someone can convince people to give them money to make and release a movie like Snakes on a Plane, anything is possible. That's what brought me so much joy, aside from the movie itself. It restored my sense of wonder, and made hope possible again.
