Here come the snakes
The movie Snakes on a Plane opens in theaters tomorrow, but it's been playing on the Internet for months. Not the movie itself, mind you. But for about a year now video parodies, blog entries, and self-made trailers have been showing up on sites like YouTube and MySpace. The movie's distributor, New Line Cinema, has embraced the hype, but has not allowed advanced showings of the 30 million dollar movie.
David Waldon, author of Snakes on a Plane: The Guide to the Internet Sensation, says people who've been hyping the movie on the Internet are actually hoping for a but of a stinker.
