I've debated showing "Snakes on a Plane" on "Movie Night", but
"Flightplan" -- a pretty good movie, starring the always-good Jodie
Foster -- was panned by our audience as not being a "real" aviation
flick.

In other words, there's got to be flying in the movie -- real flying,
not just sitting inside an airliner -- or the crowd gets restless.

Snakes on a Plane is one of those movies that is so bad, it is
good. As a movie, it was completely awful. It has every cliche in
the book (flight attendant on her last flight, the kid, the pregnant
lady, the annoying rich guy, etc). But it is a wonderfully awful
movie.

When I saw it, they had a South Pacific Airlines flight attendant
handing out safety briefing cards (both small cards and posters)
of what to do in the event of snakes on a plane.

The other fun thing the theater did was throw rubber snakes at the
audience at various points in the movie.



You nailed it. It was pure escapist fun. The fact that they didn't even
change the title from what was originally just a working title and never
intended for public consumption just added to the fun because no one should
have walked into that film thinking they were going to see anything other
than Samuel L Jackson fighting snakes on an airplane.
