Omni has HAD it with these snakes

by Linda Sharps on August 18, 2006

Have you noticed that no one is exactly neutral about Snakes On a Plane? Either someone wants to see some blinkety-blank snakes on a blinkety-blank plane, or they really, really don't.

Case in point: we decided to host an Omni movie outing in honor of SOaP's opening day. Omni does this occasionally (see also: Star Wars, X-Men), but I think this is the first movie our employees are passionately divided about seeing.

Employee A: You mean the movie/internet phenomenon that involves both snakes, planes, and the promise of Samuel L. Jackson saying an R-rated phrase that we've all been dreaming of hearing for months on end?  You bet your sweet patoot I'll be there, and I'll be wearing my snakes-on-a-hat!

Employee B: You're being serious. About this stupid movie that's going to suck. Um, no thanks, I'd rather drink paint.

Those of us that fall into the first camp will be at Cinerama today at 1:30, possibly sporting snake-themed clothing items. If you're in the area and up for a last minute outing, come join us! You know, unless you'd rather drink paint.

Well, I looked at the plot and have decided to head

to the hardware store for a gallon of the best latex

enamel.

I hope you're planning on doing an MST3k thing while watching this one.

Cheers,

I wonder if the new airline regulations will require them to 'check' their snakes next time? Snakes contain liquids, and liquids are the new enemy.


“OMG! There's blinkety-blank liquids on the blinkety-blank plane!”

Based on a rather telling analysis, the plot may not have even been feasible…read here:

Best web campaign EVER.  (Who knew Samuel knew so much about you.) 


Better yet you can actually have him *telephone* other people!

This is what I get for not reading my RSS feeds at work. I went to the 9:45 show with a few random Softies, but meeting the Omni Group staff would have been way cool.

Wow, you guys are cooler than I thought. The movie was as deliciously terrible as I had hoped.
