"It may not be sickly brilliant or twistedly clever, but it's just plain fun. Slither is a good old fashioned gooey, slimy monster movie with a sense of humor."

"So sue me, sometimes after a day of enjoying Belgian film-festival prizewinners, I like to relax with copious servings of horror-flick slime and a good visual joke involving squids, girls in bathtubs, and overhead cameras." -Entertainment Weekly (Lisa Schwarzbaum) Grade: B+

Nice to see this one getting mostly positive reviews across the board so far.

$1 says that changes once the more "average" movie critics begin reviewing it through.

I was invited to a "late" (9pm) free screening tonight of the flick, but I'm opting to check out a live performance of Rent instead. I'll just go see Slither tomorrow morning.

I think Slither will settle in at around 75% or so.

what i don't like is that my multi-multi-plex only has 5 showings of this tomorrow. i mean this is a theater that showed "Hostel" on 2 screens and like 10-15 showings for each. this means it will be on one of their smaller stadium theaters, much like "Devil's Rejects". i hate those rooms.

Oh I don't care what the score at RT is, but I can't help but root for it to be as high as possible.

Yeah, if it lands at around 75% or so then that'll be fantastic for a movie like this.

Is it wrong that every time I see the following picture, I see a huge obese woman's naked breast with a big ol' hairy nipple and two crusty warts on the sides?

15 showings each theater per day? That's not possible, there aren't enough hours in a day.

Yes, but it's obviously playing on more than one screen, unless the movie was 45 minutes long.

I was wondering what scot meant of 15 showings on each screen.

Oh I know what you mean, but since I saw a mention of a flick with a lot of showings, I thought I'd mention that one. I mean, do you really need 22 showings of Ice Age 2 in a single day?

Really?

No, you definitely don't!

Well, I can only speak for myself. I don't.

you guys rely on rottentomatoes way to much. does other people's opinions you don't know have that much of an effect on whether you see a movie or not?

You are so right!!

I think everyone here is going to see this movie anyway, but I also think looking at a consensus of critical opinion is valid. If the average critical grade was 7 (out of 100) and the movie was widely trashed as a turd, that might affect at least WHEN I see the film (skip the first run and maybe catch it on video). But since it's getting high average marks, I'm even more excited to see it as soon as possible.
