You've been snakebitten!
As some of you already know, this has brought me hours of joy today. At this point, it seem inevitable that the hype over Snakes on a Plane will only cause a backlash, either in the form of awful box office, or severe disappointment -- although, the only way a movie like this could be disappointing is if it's not terrible enough. I worry that everyone involved knew they were doing camp, and will play everything with a wink. Bad movies are always better when the movie is unaware of its badness.... I also worry that I worry about this.
