It's a Bollywood superhero movie.

They've got Tony Ching Siu-Tung for fight choreographer, and a top-notch team of dance choreographers, lyricists, musicians, and so forth.

All I'm saying is that "Snakes On A Plane" now has serious competition in the "Coolest Movie Of The Early 21st Century" category. I mean, yeah, Samuel L. Jackson, snakes, and a plane, but, on the other hand, Bollywood superhero with Hong Kong action sequences.

And it's evidently a sequel. I wonder if the first one (Mil Gaya) is worth it...

Koi Mil Gaya is available from Netflix, so I guess I'll find out. This one looks amazing!

Maybe we can get the Kendall to run it...

Some friends of mine have been trying to get me to watch Disco Dancer
(supposedly the funniest/worst/most absurd movie of all time) to introduce
me to Bollywood.

This sounds a little less horrible to me. Particularly as long as it
has no musical dance numbers...

Egads!

I suppose I'll have to make a deal with them - I watch Bollywood if
they watch some westerns and samurai flicks...

Of course it's going to have musical dance numbers. It's got dancing pirates.

This movie looks cool and all, but Snakes on a Plane has snakes. On a plane.

Saw the sign for this at the Somerville Theatre, in case you're looking.

I'm really worried about Snakes on a Plane. Give me a moment to explain myself here. When I first heard about it I thought "Holy crap. If there were an Ed Wood award, this would win it five times over." I love camp. And as much as I love Army of Darkness, Batman, et. al., I love the unintentional camp even more. The movies that want, so badly, to be taken seriously but somehow wind up inadvertently satirizing themselves (For example Flash Gordon and any Nicholas Cage movie from the past 10 years).
Snakes on a Plane had that potential. And then some studio executive got wind of it and tried to shut it down. AND THEN they realized the cult following it had already created, and decided to push it harder. And I worry that they're going to change it from accidental to deliberate satire.
I think it's too late for Snakes on a Plane.
I'm still going to see it, though.
