Snakes on a Billboard.

This new billboard reminded me to tell you that none of you should be here on 8/18. Be a part of history.

Snakes: Poconos Snake & Animal Farm -- Drug Dealer Snake Dude PSA.

PS, I finally got better encodes of that Monster House spot I did. Check it here. Also dipped back and got a better encode of the Zathura sweepstakes spot I did last year -- click here for that one, and keep an eye out for the X-E reference.

They’re already selling shirts with lines from the movie. That’s Hot Topic for you.

Chestnuts roasted by Kell @ 07/25/2006 8:47 PM

Thanks for the link to the Snake and Animal Farm article. That was one of my favorites! I loved the haikus.

I really thought Snakes on a Plane was already out, I’ve been hearing so much about it.

YAY! Fourth comment! Matt, I wanted to tell you about this KOOL-AID WATCH!

Niftyness, right?

Oh and I seriously loved your old articles on the Worst Witch and the Tim Curry ‘Curse’ haha.

Ah yes….the drug dealer snake dude. In the wake of girls who get squashed into wrinkly mushes by computers because they can’t go "above the influence," I miss the scarier approaches.

Dumb teens who take drugs have gotten dumber if this is how you have to appeal to them.

Begging the pardon of Matt and my fellow bloggers, I’d like to continue a survey I began on yesterday’s blog: Please share your bad experiences working in fast food. I’ll begin by repeating my own story: one day within the last three months, I was working the register at my local McDonald’s and had just totaled the customers order. I went to get the food, as I figured would be a good idea, but I hadn’t taken the money yet. My manager would have been wise to remind me to take the money and give change before fetching the order. Instead, he grabs me as I am leaving the register, drags me in front of it, and stands behind me working my arms like a puppet, performing the necessary actions, all in full view of the customers.

This is going to be the greatest movie ever!

Chestnuts roasted by Darth Poop @ 07/25/2006 9:25 PM

Defamer has already started the SoaP backlash, but if you go to the site they’ve got links toward the blinged out movie tie-in jewelry. Can’t wait to see this one.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 07/25/2006 9:37 PM

SoaP comes out three days after my 21st birthday. What a week that’s gonna be.

A few months ago, when I got ‘snake fever’, I was telling my friends about it and one of them replied "I dunno, sounds like a pretty bad movie." Well, DUH.

Chestnuts roasted by Daniel85 @ 07/25/2006 9:45 PM

The Zathura link isn’t working, you forgot the "s" in sweepstakes.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 07/25/2006 10:12 PM

Thanks…fixed.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 07/25/2006 10:40 PM

I hope the hype didn’t turn it into a "the kind of bad that isn’t even fun to make fun of" movie, or make it appear to be aware of its badness…

Chestnuts roasted by RewolfJ @ 07/25/2006 11:06 PM

One thing is for certain…SoaP is going to either be an Oscar contender or the worst movie of this millennium. Either way, it’s going to have a cult following like no other.

Chestnuts roasted by Frito @ 07/25/2006 11:07 PM

What really scares me is the movies in the next few years that are going to make a conscious effort to recapture the magic of SoaP. I don’t know what methods they’ll try, but since it’s Hollywood, they will be trite, insulting, and ultimately futile. It’ll be like the Blair Witch saga all over again.

Oh, and Matt, nice easter egg in the commercial. Very Lucasesque.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 07/25/2006 11:19 PM

Ok, if anyone skipped my newly-posted comment in the last blog, I said that the last blog is actualy Blog #800, instead of the one 5 blogs earlier.

Fun fact: the SoAP poster was made in a Fark photoshop contest to make a theatrical poster for it. Apparantly, it was one of the biggest draws at Comic-Con this year (with an airplane fuesalage being remodeled to look like a snake as its booth)

And I’ve never worked in Fast Food, and upon seeing Clerks II, I don’t want to. And besides, how on earth was a Mooby’s (or any fast food place) staffed by only 4 people?!

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 07/25/2006 11:28 PM

The Krusty Krab is staffed by only 3.

Chestnuts roasted by RewolfJ @ 07/25/2006 11:32 PM

I have tragically somehow managed to miss the buzz on this film. Maybe it’s because I don’t watch commercials and rarely go to the theater. This and other sites I visit seem to have an inordinate amount of anticipation. I’m not sure I’ll be able to see the movie, because I’m horribly afraid of snakes. I mean like I occasionally wake up yelling because I was dreaming there are snakes in the bed.

Just so I can see what’s got everyone so excited, can someone point me to a trailer? Maybe one that isn’t too scary?

Hoverbored-
When I was 17, I was a shift manager at a Dairy Queen. This lady came through the drive through and ordered food and a bannana split. Her fries were going to be a couple minutes because we had just run out, and it was like a 100 degrees outside. So when she got to the window I told her I’d wait to make her split until her food was almost ready, so her ice cream wouldn’t melt. She told me to go ahead and make it now, so I did. She wolfed half of it down, then bitched that it was melted when her food finally came out. I told her that I’d offered to wait, and that I would NOT refund her money or give her another one. She got pissed and asked to talk to my manager. I pulled my head back in the window and turned my hat around backwards. I stuck my head out the window, and said in my cheeriest voice "Mike tells me that you have a complaint. How can I help you?" She really flew off the handle then. I ended up giving her the owner’s home number to get her to go away.

Yeah, SoaP my BIL will not stop talking about it he’s had the shirt for a least 3 months or so, so I’ll be seeing it I’m sure.

And again, I enjoy seeing your commercials. I’ll never see them on TV but if I ever to I’ll feel all proud that I have the inside scoop!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 07/25/2006 11:39 PM

I never worked fast food, but I did work in the kitchen at a retirement home for a short while when I was 16. It sucked huge balls. I never knew you could puree so many different foods. Shit. This one time we ran out of prune juice. Mass chaos ensued.

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 07/25/2006 11:49 PM

I never worked fast food, but once in retail an elderly African-American woman came into the store, and two different employees made the mistake of asking if they could help her. She immediately flew into a screaming rage, saying everyone in the store was "harrassing" her and how DARE "you bitches think I’m stealing ’cause I’m BLACK!" We had to call security, and she was permanently banished from the mall.

Chestnuts roasted by Welsh Rabbit @ 07/26/2006 12:41 PM

Apparently I’m all psychic and shit. I ask for SoaP and you deliver, Matt. Cheers!

Anyone hear about this Star Wars Kid who sued his friends for posting his video? If he can’t laugh at himself now, he’s gonna have major problems in the future. You can’t sue everyone who makes fun of ya kid, and there are those of us who think that video was cool (on principle) and not ridicule worthy. He was working it, and then someone was nice enough to add the effects. Some people are going to make fun of you for liking Star Wars, get used to it. Find strength in loving it in spite of them. There is a community waiting for you.

We got Motherfrakkin’ Snakes on my Motherfrakkin’ plane! And there’s not a Got-Damn thing we can do about!

Seriously, I can’t wait for this movie. It will be the greatest thing in the world, simply knowing that people on the internet got them to refilm some dialogue just to make them happy.

It actually raises some interesting questions…Could internet interactivity lead to more things like this? Say a film studio pitches an idea, and then invites people to comment on it. Then they take the best comments and put them in the movie. Maybe put their names in the credits or something for credit.

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron T. @ 07/26/2006 1:00 AM

Cameron: the problem with that is, it’s gotta be legally binding. You would have to register for that kind of page and promise in the form that you would never ever sue if you felt you deserved more credit than you were promised. More than just a few people would show up, and some of them WOULD try to sue. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as the saying goes.

This would have better fit in the last post, but Thursday I’m going to Paramount’s Carowinds amusement park; it’s loaded down with all kinds of Nick themed stuff. My question to you all is "Any suggestions as to ‘can’t miss’ attractions?" Link is to the Rides & Attractions section of the Carowinds site.

Chestnuts roasted by Ragnarok @ 07/26/2006 1:23 AM

I saw the movie, Monster House in 3-D Imax. We sat second row in front center. IT IS AWESOME!

By the way where’s the reference to x-e in the sweepstakes spot?
