Saw it at the video store last night... Looks like an older movie... 1,000 passengers traveling with 30,000 venomous snakes. Thought this was funny, so I thought id share it. Bryan

See… here’s the problem with movies like Snakes on a Plane or Anaconda or even the 70’s classic, SSSS; all of the these movies have the same thing in common. They are all shot from the humanistic point of view. That is, they are designed to portray sakes as some sort of mindless monsters with nothing better to do than chase down hapless individuals and inflict nearly instantaneously fatal envenomations or bone crushing constrictions for no apparent reason!. Now, I’ve got an idea for a real thriller of a movie! It will be shot from the point of view of the snake and will entitled… are you ready...? Rattlesnake Roundup or Humans in the Den! Just think of all the horrors I could put into this movie! There’d be home invasions, snakenappings, beheadings, the cooking and eating of flesh, den explosions, the forced ingestion of captive bread rodents...yucchh! And just imagine this for a villain! A fat partially toothed, mullet sportin’, tobacco chewin’, overall wearin’ fellow (with some sort of baseball cap with either Caterpiller or John Deer or something to that effect resting on a beedy eyed, triple chinned head.) with nothin’ but a healthy case of ignorance and an itchy trigger finger.
The only problem I can foresee is that unfortunately, it would have to be shot, not as a horror movie, but as a documentary because, as you all know, the villain I described isn’t fictitious…he actually exists. And he is out there somewhere…watching…. waiting….

The crazy thing is that I have - what I normally consider to be sane, intelligent adults - ask me questions like, "Could that really happen?" "Do snakes really act like that?"
I don't even know what to say because I'm overwhelmed by their total lack of obsveration of nature. It's like they've never seen a snake in their lives.

i think it's horrible that so many people can be fooled by cheap animation and have this fear grow inside of them, i try to do my best at the museum and even my school to tell people that the snakes can NOT and will NOT come at you even if they were angry. all the snakes that i know just retreat when they see us (with the exception of the mamba, but it just defends itself with a little more aggresion than the other snakes).
ps. check out my article ''fear of snakes'' in the artcle section
best regards,
chris hartmann
