Snakes on a clusterfuck...

"One question lingers, for me at least. When "fans" respond to an unabashedly silly title like Snakes on a Plane and start riffing on it, how seriously do they mean for their suggestions to be taken? For some reason, the whole thing makes me think of what sometimes happens in high schools, when popular bullies whisper not-very-nice suggestions into the eager ears of class dorks. I wouldn't want to insinuate that this is what's happened here, of course, but the possibilities are exciting. What could we get Tom Cruise to say? Send suggestions to his people via MySpace." --from Carina Chocano's LA Times review.

So the internet nerds have become the jocks, and the studio execs have become the nerds? I guess that makes sense -- after all, the nerds always get rich in the end.
