It looks dumb. But you never know. They have been able to pull off a whole movie in a phone booth.

I was wondering if thats what you meant.
It is entirely possilbe. Although there have been movies about snakes and spiders and other creepy crawly things, for years. I don't think it would affect the hobby, though

Holly wood has a tendency to use large or colorful harmless snakes instead of real venomous snakes because most people don't know the difference. Has anyone ever seen a movie where someone falls into a pit of garters, corns, milks, ball pythons and the like. It makes me laugh!

When ever reptiles are used in Hollywood it seems to have some sort of negative effect.

And I can see the same happening here.
Like will this movie have any influence on the shipping of reptiles?

Hell ... my Fedex driver asked me if Anacondas really get as big as the one in that movie.. he said they move pretty fast for being that big !

Ok , check out the movie trailer, and tell me how much good can come out of this !!!!!

They don't even look remotely real. I don't know, I have trouble seeing why people would take a movie like that seriously. I know there are naive people out there, so I guess it is possible.

He was probably one of the kids in the school. I noticed a lot of different characters that were running around in the back ground. I want GAMBIT. He is Rogue's real love, not ice man (bobby)

Since they made Rogue younger in the movies, I doubt she will be hooking up with middle aged gambit. Although I hope to see him in there. Bishop as well.

I am surprised this thread has not been deleted.

I have always been into older guys (like 10 years older) Rogue can still go for him! lol. Besides, I was thinking Gambit would be her age, like a student. When is she gonna learn to fly anyway. In the comics, she can fly and is super strong.

From the link: "Mark Houghton portraying John Saunders" He must be some actor - look at the portraly of fear as the deadly L. g. goini crawls on his shoulder!

What a goof - this may be a cult hit with snake people.

Just think, we could have contests:

How many harmless snakes stand in for venomous?

How many morphs of kings, corns, bulls, hogs, etc. can we spot?

How many fake snakes get slaughtered, and in how many ways?

How many obviously incorrect statements/scenes/behaviors are portrayed (other than the obligatory misreresentations)?

What a Hoot! - Immagine the fun we can have shouting out things like:
"Pyro!"
"Nelsons!"
"Reverse Oketee Creamsicle!"
Whenever the morphs appear on screen!

Best of all, we can root for the snakes - Cheer! when the extra in seat C5 bites the dust - Hiisss, Boo! when Samuel Jackson bumps off an atrox!

I predict this will be funniest stupid airplane movie since Jodie Foster's derivative and preposteruos "Flight Plan"

So, grab a fellow Snake Fan and go!

Regards,
John D

I was going to mention flight plan, but did not know if I was the only one who thought it was dumb.
I would be laughing through this whole movie. It looks so fake. I think it would probably be that way to anyone who knows snakes.

goregrind Apr 23, 2006 08:45 PM

but from what i read it wont hurt the hobby as much as anaconda. the plot for this one has the mob putting snakes on a plane. i think there should be a law that makes it so any movie that portrays an animal doing something it really doesnt do, they should explain in the credits what was fake, i can think of dozens of movies that snake are shown as "bad" or the creators just give alittle misinformation.

i remember in a movie with a certain "really mad goalie" a group of campers find a snake in thier cabin so the hack it up.

and in a certain comedy about a group of colledge kids taking a cross country trip to save a relationship, one of the kids has a snake in his dormroom (a young burmese i think) in a cage with no hides with uv lights for heat, and it is plenty big enough for rats but gets one mouse a month and they say that if he over eats he will die. and later in the movie he refuses the mouse and takes a bite out of a hand.

I agree. Like I said, some people out there are not the brightest crayon in the box and take movies at face value. Although I said it differently. Poeple who do not know snakes have no reason to think differently than what the movie portrays.

I personally didn't think anaconda was all that bad..... Aside from grossly misrepresenting the size and the fact that it was constantly actively hunting them I thought it was pretty good.
