Finally got around to seeing Snakes on a Plane tonight. What can I say about this movie that probably hasn’t already been said, other than “Sporks?” Oh wait….

My $ex-boss gilgamesh has a good thought or three on an article about how offensive the movie Narnia – The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is to non-christians, and how they will need a ‘sickbag’ handy at the religious undertones.
