I did it today, I’m not going to lie. I’m not ashamed in the least bit of going to see Sam Jackson’s blockbuster summer hit, Snakes on a Plane. In fact, I was beaming from ear to ear for a good half hour after the movie was over.

Let me explain. We were in a group of about 15 people, all keen on the hype that’s been all over the internet for months now, so we had some expectations. Nobody was too drunk, but we all got a kick out of the entire movie, laughing when people got attacked by snakes … on a plane. We nearly gave a standing ovation when Sam finally stood up and yelled “I’ve had it with these mother f*cking snakes on this mother f*cking plane!”

Some other memorable lines:
Lights go out
Random Passenger: “It’s the snakes!”

While attacked in the bathroom
Cocky Guy: “F*cking b*tch get off my d*ck!”

Sam Jackson’s Entrance
Sam: “If you want to live, do what I say”

So yeah, I liked it for what it was. Stupid physical comedy, lots of motherf*cking snakes, and Samuel L kicking some ass in various creative ways.

All in all, a good way to enjoy my last weekend free from school and work for the semester.

Oh, yeah, I’m thinking about going back to Europe for a few weeks this winter with a friend of mine… anybody have any thoughts on that? 3 weeks, from Denmark to Paris for new years, then on to Italy for a bit. I really want to go, but I’d rather not be broke.

Gregory went to see SOAP, too, with similar reviews. Another cult classic. Denmark and Paris will be very cold then. How about Italy and Greece (and maybe Turkey)? It’d be way cheaper, too.

Yeah, Rob has a friend in Denmark (which is one reason for the trip), but I’m planning on just a few days there before heading south. I’d love to hit Greece now that you mention it…
