Is Slither only out in America at the moment? Whens it out in the UK?

Just read the Slither review on MSNBC. They had some very shiny things to say about our captain.

"As Bill Pardy, the police chief in a hillbilly town overrun by killer slugs and flesh-munching zombies, Fillion expands on the droll flair he mastered as skipper of the rickety spaceship Serenity.

“Slither” also lets Fillion cut loose and get really goofy, all the while maintaining his boyish rogue’s charm. This guy deserves to be a major star."

Here's the link to the whole review: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12055708/

Now, for my rant of the evening ( morning, whatever )

The movie was spoiled for me by one ( or 5 ) little things... CHILDREN! Some idiot parents actually brought their VERY young children to this movie. SO, most of my evening, between laughs and "OWNED" shouts, was muchkins wondering around the theater, and crying about the evil slugs gonna get them. Can we say, NIGHTMARES??? ANYONE???

Nothing that I hate more than stupid parents... I mean jeez, my daughter is five, loves Firefly, and has a great ground on reality. BUT, I wouldnt allow her to see Star Wars Epidode III and I screened Harry Potter before allowing her to see it. "Slither" is NOT one she'll be seeing for the next oh... 12 yrs!]

OMG - I'm glad I'm not the only one. When my husband and I went last weekend, there was a family with two pre-teens there. From two rows back, I could see and hear that they were not in the least bit comfortable. How could the parents not notice? I don't consider myself a prude (I was an exotic dancer in my youth), but between the language and the gore, pre-teens should NOT be seeing this. Kids are more sophisticated than previous generations, but basic brain wiring just wouldn't usually allow them to process these images. Only my sense of self preservation kept me from expressing a few choice words.

We LOVED the movie, BTW. We were still laughing at certain scenes hours later.

Hate horror, loved Slither -- hillarious B-movie fun. My girlfriend and I were both MST3King the whole thing with Firefly quotes in fitting moments, for which there were many. It was nice that the film was opened with "huh" -- but was dissapointed that Nathan's final line as they're walking past all the human devistation wasn't "yep...that went well..." :-)

I finally got my chance to watch Slither yesterday. I thought it was soooo funny! I dragged my friend along, who is now a fellow Browncoat, and she enjoyed the film too. It's not a movie you have to sit and think really hard about. If you're tired, want to relax, and laugh this movie does it for ya.

Nathan was great. I'm not sure if I would have seen this movie if he weren't in it, so hats off to him for directing me to such a funny horror film.

BTW, I liked the fact he was wearing a Brown coat in the movie (like most cops in that area would), and the young girl's name was Kaylee. (although spelled different) Nathan's character had a bit of Mal in him which I thought was sweet.

I just got back from seeing it. Dear God, Jesus is it funny? See I go into movies having VERY low expectations, ezpecially ones with this nature, but when you're laughing so hard yolu choke on popcorn or just about tinkle yourself, it's definitely one to go in top 100's in my book. Definite replay value and overall hilarious dialogue. Nathan and what's his face sheriff man from Train Job have some of the best lines ever.

"What's a 'Gina?"

"Uh, well, 'Gina, it's one of those countries, you know, like where 'Ginese people are from."

Saw it last weekend. LOVED it. Not expecting much and BAM. A little scarry, Some gorry, and a whole helluva lot of funny. Yes, the sheriff in Train Job is in it. He's been promoted to mayor. Brandy Svennings dad was in it to.(Mallrats) This movie was a lot of fun go see it NOW (twice)

PS tell them how I saved you from that deer.

I laughed so hard I missed most of what was being said! I have to see it again!

Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! That isn't weird is it?
