Does anyone know if this is being released in South Korea? From what I can tell, it's not.

And if not, I'm totally just killing myself now.

Yes, but I've heard it sucks even for a campy B-movie. Its not funny bad, ironically bad, good fun bad. It's just bad. Too bad. How many times can I type the word 'bad'? I need to leave the house.

No way, man. It's the greatest movie ever made. It's about snakes. On a plane!

I caught it last night (in Toronto). It's great, this could be Samuel's shot at an oscar. There some awesome bite scenes, some are a little nasty. My skin was definitely on the crawl by the end. There's also a liberal coating of Kraft cheese over the whole thing, but well worth it (I got for free, an old friend felt this was a great way to cap off a long friendship... just whished it could have been Jackass 2).

I don't want to ruin any of it, but the most fun through the movie is picking out whose gonna die, whose gonna make it. Some surprises. I was hitting 65% accuracy, which is low, I normally get it around 85/90% (I'm proud to say I called Samy J's death in Deep Blue Sea).

Really? Good call on that then, cause that scene where he got eaten was perfect!

But back to Snakes on a Plane:

Read all the reviews and decide for yourself-

Me, I going to wait for the DVD (and you can be sure those will be coming to Korea).

No doubt, secpnd only to Steven Segal's death in Executive Decision. Actually in DBS the way it went was I leaned over to a buddy and said wouldn't it be crazy if a shark jumped up and killed him, and just after it happened.

Just more proof of the futher decline of the moving-making industry.

What's the over-under on some chucklehead bringing and releasing a snake on a plane in the next 2 months just to make the AP news headline "Snakes on a Plane: Really!"

I saw it in the States last week and loved it. Good popcorn movie. Samuel L. Jackson is a hoot! I've had it with these mother f*****g snakes on this mother f*****g plane. Great line.

I wondered if it would come to Korea, though, because the bad guy who sets it all in motion is Korean. It took, like, nine years before Falling Down came and the Korean was a victim in that one.
