Enough is enough. I've had it with these snakes
Snakes on a Plane. The official trailer.

It's dead handy living across the road from a cinema. It means when your flatmate decides he quite fancies the look of that dodgy American teen comedy that you've just seen advertised on the telly, you're a mere minute (and six quid) away from finding out just how mediocre it is!
