Snakes on Chuck Klosterman

August 9th, 2006 at 11:30 pm

I recently posted about Chuck Klosterman of Esquire Magazine discussing how the model set forth by Snakes on a Plane will be “terrible” if followed by other films. At the time his argument was picked apart by CrazyMonk and Church of the Consumer. This isn’t strictly snakes on a plane related, but Gawker has posted a Chuck Klosterman Opinion Generator (pictured below) and if you follow the flow chart, you’ll see that it accurately predicts Chuck’s opinions about Snakes on a Plane. Well, sort of.

This is all I’m going to post tonight, I’m behind at work and I need to get everything taken care of before I fly out to LA on Friday morning. If you’re looking for a flurry of posts, though, check back next week. I’ve got to get everything out of the files before this movie opens, so we’re going to see some big time blog posting, yes siree.

I just saw one of the ‘Addictive TV’ promo ads! Awesome.

Remember, the movie footage of Jackson saying the famous line is on IGN… :).

And, I kind of strongly dislike Chuck Klosterman. :(

Brian,
Cheers for the heads-up about the interview. Am now crapping myself as to what it’s going to say or whether I’m going to look like a retard

I think it’s a great article. He’s not really hating on Snakes itself as much as he is hating on the marketing techniques and trends of the film industry. Snakes on a Plane is a movie unlike any other - the first of its kind. Chuck is just hoping it will also be the last of its kind. Which I can agree with; if every movie was based on “what people on the internet want to see,” then every movie would be made exactly like Snakes on a Plane. That would kind of take the charm out of this type of movie.

I’m a big fan of Chuck’s work in Esquire as well as his books.

If someone ever made a movie based on “what the internet wants to see”, it would probably be a film version of The Adventures of Dr. McNinja.

He would fight pirates.
