Oh please, motherfucker. :-) Talk about pretentious. Snakes on a Plane is just a stupid movie, like Dude, Where's My Car? and Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle. It's just idiotic popcorn fun. You either like that sort of thing or you don't. You seem to be enjoying a "detached sense of superiority" by assuming that everyone who chooses to see it is a PR tool and that you are above it all, taking in the bigger reality that none of us in the movie seats could possibly understand. Eat some popcorn, yell at the screen, and have some fun, motherfucker. ;-)
