sabotabby...is every bit as awesome as you thought it would be.
And by awesome, I mean awful. Ed Wood awful. There needs to be a drinking game. I need to see it a bazillion times. There was one scene I could have done without (I bet you can guess which one it is, and it's in the trailer so it isn't even a spoiler) but otherwise it was completely cracktastic. The best part is that Samuel L. Jackson is actually acting. It's like watching one human actor playing against a bunch of muppets.
Plus, snake-o-vision.
This will be my only post on the matter, but feel free to discuss to your heart's content.
EDIT: Go forth and reade this: Serpentes on a Shippe! (spoylerez) at Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog.

Then ther was a crashinge grete and terribil, and the sound of the sayles droppinge on to the decke. In the winde the ship did founder. Vp staires, Sir Sean did checke wyth the mariners and finde hem all y-slawe by the snakes, and the snakes had occupyed the wheel of the shippe and the mappe of navigacioun. And Sir Sean cam doun and toold Sir Neville and Sir Neville was passinge wroth and seyde, ‘That ys ynogh. I haue hadde it wyth thes cursed by Seynt George snakes on this cursed by Seynt George shippe!’

Date: 2006-08-20 01:28 am (UTC)Ed Wood in that it's so bad it's good and you have to wonder if they were laughing the entire time they made it. Not stylistically.
Drinking game potential: It doesn't have the repetition that makes The Princess Bride drinking game so much fun, but the experience is heightened by drinking throughout the film, and there are enough good lines that we could figure something. out.
Or you could just drink an entire mickey of Crown Royal like
Jackson plays it seriously. I don't think he took it seriously.

Date: 2006-08-20 03:43 am (UTC)a drinking game can be made for anything if given enough thought. though i don't doubt that SoaP would make a killer of a game.
considering that he refused to be in it if the name *wasn't* SoaP, i think he had some attachment to it, but consider myself corrected nonetheless.

"I can't move. I'll wake the kitty!"

Saw this, thought of you:
