I agree that that's what you should have expected for a Thursday evening showing. But unlike Rocky Horror screenings, this was the premiere of the film, and maybe some of the people that went were actually interested in seeing the film, strange as it may be to assume that. But with audience behavior like this, SoaP won't have to wait very long to be able to start playing exclusively at midnight showings. Farewell, Snakes on a Plane... you'll be missed.

Let's just call this "My Name is Sam (Beckett)" And odd that you should mention Voyagers, because there was some sort of biography about Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) on yesterday, and one of the people interviewed about her was Meeno Peluchi, her brother, who it turns out (I found out thanks to IMDB) was the star of Voyagers. I never knew they were related. And on top of that, their half-brother Sean was in E.T. Small world.

I'm not surprised at all. What was there left to see of this film after all the months of hype? Did anyone that went to see the film actually laugh at Samuel L Jackson's "MF Snakes on this MF plane" line after having heard it ten thousand times in the last few months and having heard all the hype about how it got included in the movie? I think the only people that went to see the movie this weekend were all the people that have been adding to the hype. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 69% or more dropoff this coming weekend. I'll probably check out this movie in a few months on DVD after all the hype has faded into blissful oblivion, and maybe then I'll be able to view it as just a movie and not as an internet-created event.

"Sounds fun but Timbrlake as King Arthur? With the "aka Artie" maybe he's being played for laughs." In a Shrek film? A character being played for laughs? Ya think? ;) I'd guess this is going to be young Arthur before he's his commanding self.

So anyway, did anyone actually think Luthor's plan WASN'T the dumbest mastermind plan in the history of movies and comics? I think even some Silver Age villains would scoff at Luthor's plan.

And one final request to all anti-Christians: Please don't confuse or lump together Organized Religion and Christianity. Christianity is a pure, solid belief system (INHO), and shouldn't be confused with the terrible things that mankind (and some organized religions) have done in the name of Organized Religion. An analogy: Environmentalism is a valid and noble cause. The dumb things that Greenpeace has done in the name of Envrionmentalism in no way invalidates the Environmentalism.

silversmith- yeah, it kinda went off on a wild tangent a bit and the moment I posted it and re-read it, I wanted to edit it a bit, but these comment sections don't allow for that. In any case, my deep-seeded certainty comment was more accurately meaning GOD. And while Christians get the lion's share of the crap thrown at them from non-believers, what I was talking about goes beyond just Christianity. When I was talking about FAITH, I was meaning an even wider cross-section of ANYTHING you happen to believe in that defies PROOF or explanation. And unless you're a robot, there's likely something you believe in that matches this description. For example, the obvious ones are a Higher Power, be it the Christian, Jewish, or Muslim God, and other things like Karma, Astrology, Gaia, witchcraft (or Wicca), Zeus or whatever. And even those out there that claim to be total atheists, attribute some things to LUCK. Who doesn't have a lucky ritual of some kind they do? And on an even more general level, who doesn't ever have a HUNCH about something that they can't logically explain, but just KNOW to the depth of their bones that it's right, regardless of what logic or people may tell you? For any and all of these things, it requires a leap of FAITH, in that what you feel or KNOW deep inside of you cannot be proven empirically. The key to understanding Christians (the ones who really believe what they say, not the ones that want you to send them your money), is that beyond scientific PROOF, we BELIEVE deep to our cores what we believe. If people choose not to believe it, that's their issue. But unless you actively live your life completely denying any and ALL examples of that unexplainable certainty (of whatever it is) deep inside of you, then it's a bit disingenuous to scorn someone else's unprovable certainty. And one final request to all anti-Christians: Please don't confuse or lump together Organized Religion and Chris

Couple of quick thoughts. Luthor's stupid plan: I know Lex is greedy, but when you have the knowledge of 28 galaxies at your disposal, what possibly could you BUY that you couldn't make? How much money could you make if you owned the patent to working hover technology or whatever other technologies he had at his disposal? Even the most minor bit of technology would have landed him fortunes many many many times over, AND he would have been able to do it legitimately, AND made Superman look bad for having held it back from the world. 28 Galaxies worth of knowledge and the best Luthor can come up with is real estate? And not just real estate, but he just "wants his cut". Other than that, I really liked the movie (I give it a solid 'B') and am looking forward to the sequel, now that they've got the whole reintroduction business out of the way. And finally, a word about the Christian elements of the movie. Thanks for pointing out a few that I had missed. But what makes FAITH so great is that by definition, you have to have it without concrete proof. You have to have it in SPITE of seeming proof against it. For Christians, FAITH is the deep-seeded certainty in our soul that there IS a God and that there IS a Jesus. Even without a Bible or without organized religion telling me, I'd know, and so do millions of other believers. It's just that part of you that can't explain what you know in your soul. That's FAITH.

I don't see what everyone is so riled up about. I'm a writer, and when I misspell something, I'm GLAD when someone points it out. I don't get offended, I'm thankful that they can help me be as accurate in my writing as possible. I think there's just a bunch of overly sensitive people in here who have problems spelling and feel inferior when other people actually expect them to be able to spell correctly. Lighten up, people. And spell-check every once in a while.

Thank you, browbeat. I'm glad at least one of the other commenters has a sense of humor. qwer88 and spinspank, I apologize that my jokingly pointing out a typo played such a large part in ruining your day. I hope that through therapy or some sort of surgical procedure that you'll be able to remove the sticks you have planted firmly where the sun don't shine. (well, maybe for you guys it DOES shine there) Good luck with that.
