As long as there were no babies or ringing cellphones in the theater, what's the big deal?

Yep, I figured someone would do that eventually, though it would have been better if it was on opening night.

I was WAITING for this headline. I KNEW it would show up eventually.

Didn't anyone else see this coming?

I thougt I was the number one detractor of the whole snakes on a marketing campaign thing... but these kids with their homicidal prank have me beat by a mile.

Maybe if the movie was being shown on a plane and this happened it would THEN be ironic?

I have not seen SoaP yet, but I have killed rattlesnakes in our yard. They sound nothing like what I have heard before in the movies. The shaky maraca sound is not even close.

This is funny? You have to be pretty morbid to think that.

They can't see you, you know that well. If it's scared, boom it strikes

i don't know what's scarier, snakes or duddering herpetologists.

Well we at least know Samuel L. Jackson is doing his job getting the snakes out of the motherfarking plane.

Let me check...

"Two live diamondback rattlesnakes were released in an Arizona movie theater during a showing of the new film "Snakes on a Plane"

When would you prefer to be bitten?

Saw this coming a mile away...thought about doing this myself, however, I'd use gopher snakes or corn snakes. less chance of death.

I had a teacher in High School that admitted that him and a few friends released a suitcase of birds into a theater during the movie "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock. I guess they were caught because, after the theater emptied of frightened, screaming people, they were left rolling on the floors laughing so hard they couldn't breathe. That was, obviously, quite a long time ago, but I guess it's one of those time-honored pranks.

Oh, how fun. You threw rubber snakes at people in the dark. How clever of you. If I got hit by something you (or anyone) threw to be cute, we'd have words. All in good fun means keeping your hands and toys to yourself.

/What? This 98oz coke on your head isn't cool??? All in good fun!!!

But it's ok if a rattlesnake bites you when you're not watching a movie about snakes.

I didn't laugh at this, but I was mildly amused at the premise of it.

Which means its about 1000x better than the Colber Report

Yeah, what's up with that? Sounds like attempted murder on a large scale.
