Go Snakes!

I finally managed to catch Snakes On a Plane last sunday. Though I wanted to write about the movie right then the pressure of wrapping up my work before my 5 day break kept me from doing it till now.

**Spoiler Warning**

And here is the verdict, It's not just so bad it's good, its so bad its awesome! It has some real cult moments - the snake dropping down on the naked woman in the loo and taking a bite out of her boob (priceless), another opting for man's you know what when he is taking a leak (I guess this snake was female unlike the first one), yet another dipping it fangs into a fat dudes ass and a few more. And they even have a solid logical reason for the snakes behaviour, they are sprayed with pheromones which makes them sexually aggressive! Classic!

The cast and characters are along expected lines for a movie like this but with some interesting additions like the rapper dude and his flunkies. Despite being probably the most hyped movie in recent times, SOAP totally delivers on its promise. It has its audience heckling, whistling, clapping and totally rooting for the snakes! The theatre was in raptures (the theatre had all of 20-25 people in it which meant only connoisseurs like me were watching) by the time Samuel Jackson delivers his cult line towards the end.

I can't wait for this to be remade in Hindi. Cast Sunny deol in Samuel Jackson's role, Mallika sherawat as the sexy airhostess, throw in a couple of songs, a couple of fights between frustrated passengers and call it Zehreela Udaan or, true to the original, Hawai Jahaz mein Saanph (or whatever the plural of saanph is) and you have a classic on your hands!

Update: R tells me that it should be Zehreeli Udaan not Zehreela and it's Saanp not Saanph. Points noted. Typical south indian inability to comprehend hindi and its rather complex gender asssignments. However even R didn't know the plural of saanp. What about all the other millions who read my blog? Do any of you know? or is it one of those words that don't have a plural?
