There <i>is</i> a SoaP joke in there somewhere; but I haven't had time to go see the movie yet. Actually, there were several other equally geeky jokes but somewhere in the middle of writing, I got distracted (happens all the time) and lost the plot. and the punchline too. Pray, is the SoaP bandwagon a bad one to inhabit? It's just the sort of mindlessly bad looking movie that I could wholeheartedly endorse. Think of the potential for sequels, for instance... <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=bizarre&id=4487006" rel="nofollow">Snakes in a Theatre</a>. Snakes in a Bus!. We might even go for the newage remakes... how about Snakes on the Titanic? No? Ok then. I will avoid the bandwagon as if there were ... umm ... snakes in it. No, that’s absolutely right.

(As in Snakes on a Plane, for the uninitiated.) And then my heart sank a little bit. But I revived after realising it was some geek related thing which I don't understand :) Those mother effin' snakes, and Samuel L. Jackson's ability to hijack pop culture have rendered me suspicious of everyone!
