[glow=red,2,300]DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN "ANACONDA" AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]ALSO CONTAINS ONE SPOILER FOR "ARMAGEDDON".[/glow]
I rented "Anaconda" yesterday after much debate. I absolutely HATE snakes. Not so much that I hate them - I just don't want to look at them or have them come near me or dream about them or anything like that.
Anyway, I was convinced by the good people on the Wilsons-brothers board to watch this movie and they even posted some screen-caps of O's death scene for it - dubbing it the "sexiest death".
So, I watched it by fast forwarding through all but the Owen parts. I must admit that the snake did not really bother me, because it really did look fake (plus I was expecting it to be about four times that size for some reason). The parts that bothered me the most were when John Voight shot the monkey, when JV was hacking that fish, and when Eric Stoltz almost died from swallowing that wasp and they cut his throat.
There was one snake part that really bothered me though - and it involved O's death scene. After O is dragged underwater and the scene is about to fade to the next scene - when they show the snake swimming underwater and O inside the snake's body - that is just too disturbing.
Not happy about that!
That was worse than when he died in "Armageddon".
From the parts I did see though, I thought it was a relatively decent movie. Maybe because I was expecting crap - but it wasn't half bad. I'm going to go back and watch it all the way through (I have the rental until next Thursday at 12noon).
Another positive: Owen looked very good in this movie. I'm going to now have to update my "hottest Owen characters" list to include Gary Dixon. ;D
