please don't hate me for the following:
Dear Hollywood, the Internet, all forms of Entertainment Media, Corporate America, Samuel L. Jackson and any person REMOTELY involved in producing and/or promoting Snakes on a Plane,
FUCK YOU.
No. Seriously.
I hate you for ruining one of the potentially best runaway B-Movie classics of my generation. Hell, I admit it. I bought into the hype. Last May I couldn't even say the title without giggling.
But no longer. I'm not buying into the hype. The joke got old before I even got to hear it.
Again, Fuck you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth B. Shackelford
now, a lot of you may hate me for saying anything that sheds ANY kind of negative light on the immaculate conception of the 2006 Summer Movie Season. But I can't help it. Lauren and I have been debating this all night, and the following quote from her myspace blog (brilliantly written, btw) sums up my thoughts EXACTLY:
...but is it fair for a movie which isn't even in theaters yet (I seem to keep forgetting this) to attain this cult status without even earning it? It really isn't. That's why part of me wants to beat New Line Cinemas at their own game and start a mass anti-Snakes on a Plane internet campaign.
my original plan was to boycott, but damnit Coporate America! you (and lauren's tempting offer to buy my ticket) got me AGAIN.
well, i'm over typing this LJ shit. Also just to inform everyone-- today was my last day of work. so i'm free all week. then move up saturday. so basically, that leaves me with 3 days to get to' up a lot.
let's get cracking shall we?
