That's because Sam and Sean are flying to L.A. for Sean to testify against Eddie Kim. And while the security guards are checking to make sure nobody has lip gloss or a Gatorade in their carry-on bags, they totally miss a ton or so of slithery, fanged, venomous fun hidden by Eddie Kim's goons down in the cargo hold. And to make sure the little monsters are worked up into a killer frenzy, they're dosed with a chemical that turns them into "snakes on crack." When they get loose among the passengers, the plane turns into a boa buffet in the sky. So who's on the menu? A fat lady drinking from a flask. Two little boys flying on their own. A super-nervous man and his new wife. And this snobby old guy who you hope is gonna be killed in an extremely gross and super-satisfying way.

Review: This notebook is all business
My demo unit was running Windows Vista Business, which for some reason doesn't ship with the common Codecs needed to play DVDs. Only consumer editions of Vista do; I guess Microsoft figures business people don't need to play DVDs. I didn't discover this until onboard my transcon flight, which meant four hours reading the in-flight magazine instead of enjoying the hilarity that is Superbad. Once on the ground and on the Web, with some searching I was able to download the needed codecs from a third-party Web-site; Microsoft had wanted me to pay them for an upgrade instead Woe is Vista That's not my main Vista beef, however. That lies with their overzealous anti-piracy practices. When I first received the demo notebook I unpacked it, flipped it on and began the initial automated install.
