SOAP RHPS

[thehefner]

I am absolutely convinced that we must, must give the Rocky Horror treatment to SNAKES ON A PLANE. Like, soon.

Because this movie is so very much like RHPS in that you *have* to see it with an audience. On its own, sure, it's not an especially great movie. Neither is ROCKY HORROR. But the more reactive an audience, the better the movie is. So today when I read about people suggesting forms of audience participation, I realized that I simply MUST be a part of this.



-Going dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, lei necklace, and flip-flops, or dressing up as an airline steward/stewardess.

-During the scene with the air safety instructions, people dressed as stewards/stewardesses can stand in the ailes and demonstrate proper airline safety procedures along with the movie.

-Flinging rubber snakes on the audience when the snakes are unleashed.

-Shouting "SNAKE VISION!" at appropriate moments.

-Rubbing Purell in your hands whenever Howard Hughes rapper guy does

-Building barriers of luggage in the theater aisles

-Throwing sporks. Preferably individually wrapped sporks.

-Cheering Troy/Keenan on with the rest of the actors, "YOU CAN DO IT!"

-At any random moment, say, "Watch out for snakes!"

More ideas can be found here at the Snake Play Website.

Anyone else up for this? I'm looking at you tyhallmark, interdisciple, tazira, fiveseconddelay, fishymcb, spacechild, and more!

This must be done. Oh yes, it must.

Check out the link for the website for tips and advice on how to coordinate with the theatre itself, just like the RHPS people do! We'd have to *organize* this bad boy, or else find someone else who will!

Funny, I was just thinking about this kind of thing this morning. I'm actually kind of sad that I'm in Europe when this movie's coming out - I can see it, sure, but it just doesn't have the kind of cult mileage here that it does in the States.

On the plus side, nerdy friends to go with, and I've got a couple more weeks to indoctrinate them :D.

"Snake Vision!" -- That was me -- I was that guy, though with less of a shout, and more of a hissy, throaty rumble of a clearly audible whisper.

Oh, and don't forget the folding and flinging of paper airplanes amidst inordinate amounts of hissing (both for good reason and for no reason in particular alike). I held a plane of my own, made of an old midSummer flyer, but never deployed for fear of aisle-based security forces situated strategically throughout the theatre. (OK, so I only saw one usher, but still...one too many when the threat of missing Sam Jackson's cult-infamous line was on the horizon.)

Seriously, the hissing phenomenon was huge in our theatre. Anytime the threat of snakedom was imminent, the slithering momentum of concurrent hissage would stream through the crowd

In short, I will indeed don the hawaiian shirt proudly.

I'll leave you with this:

Giant Gummy Snakes! I mean, honestly, who missed this bus and why/how?
