Well I went on a first date last night to see none other than Snakes on a Motherfuckin’ Plane. This is a terrific date movie, much to my surprise. There’s plenty of action which keeps the males amused’n’ awake. The movie opens with a bunch of bikini clad girls which provides the obligatory male orientated eye candy. It’s a fun flick for the girls too. There isn’t a whole lot of senseless gore, blood letting, limbs getting hacked off and shit blowing up like a full on thrasher movie. I found it to be a good compromise for both the sexes.
Plot-wise, don’t be expecting too much. In fact, I suggest checking your brain at the ticket office because there won’t be much need for it in the cinema. This is one of the reasons why I think Snakes on a Plane works are a very good choice for a first date flick. Unless you’ve got a date with a sever phobia of flying and snakes, it is a relatively safe movie. There’s not much to digest and it doesn’t bring up any social issues or depressing topics like some films can. When it comes to a first date, the type of movie that you sit through can influence the associations your date will make with you. See some depressing gut wrenching drama and it put a dampener on the date. When your date reflects on the date they’ll be more likely to associate the feelings they had during the movie with you. SOAP is simply action packed. There’s plenty of activity and heart racing suspense. These are the type of feeling you want your date to be associating with you. It’s the cinematic version of going on a rollercoaster ride.
Even though SOAP is marketed as a B grade movie, Samuel L Jackson is motherfucking brilliant. In my opinion he really makes the movie what it is. He’s perfect for the role and has playing the bad-ass down to a fine art. Check out this scene to see what I mean.
There are further reasons why Snakes on a Plane is an ideal first date movie. All action flicks have to have the obligatory sex scene. I always find these scenes kind of awkward when I’m watching them with a new date perched beside me. Especially when they are the long drawn out, steamy sex variety as are pretty common in no-brainer action movies. On SOAP, the mile high club sequence is kept pretty short. The sex is there but by no means is it 10 minutes worth cut from some cheap dirty porn fantasy.
Another good thing about the high action low plot flick is that its fun. Since there is nothing to analyze it leaves you to both relax and have fun getting tripped out by all the snakes slithering by people’s feet. I found myself talking about various scenes for ages after the movie and it didn’t lead to some heavy discussion about social issues which keep things nice and light for a first date. Essentially, I recommend Snakes on a Plane as a first date movie because it is fun and its guaranteed to leave you and your date in a fun mood following the screening.
