Instead I decided I would say something because I was bored (clearly, because I was on Twitter) and, duly, sent a reply. I’m guessing he’d just rewatched Anaconda because he was praising it as “one of the greatest films of the 90s.” He suffixed that with the simple statement “Say nothing” so read into that what you will. One day I was idly doing that with an upstanding gentleman named Patrick Sproull, who has written stuff for this fine website. Then recently – fortunately – that changed and it was all thanks to social media pressure. I don’t know how I managed to miss Anaconda or just never cross its path but there you go and that was the situation. Somehow this pleasure had passed me by, and it existed as a sizeable hole in my pop cultural consciousness – a hole the size of “the world’s biggest snake”. Until a couple of weeks ago I didn’t remember Anaconda because I’d never seen it. When you’ve finished reading this article, you will know some shit.ĭo you remember Anaconda? The 1997 killer snake film starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jon Voight? It had the tagline “When you can’t breathe you can’t scream”? It got nominated for six Razzies but, in spite of such ignominy, went on to become a cult hit and spawned three sequels? That sentence pretty accurately sums up most people’s appreciation of both the movie Anaconda, life in general and the state of the Universe. “You don’t know shit about the shit we’re in here!” Gary Dixon (Owen Wilson) in Anaconda.
