In a move that will be shocking to about 14 people (most of them under the age of nine), New Line announced that they will not be screening Snakes on a Plane for critics.

Can you believe it? A totally buzz-driven film that is going to make money even if it sucks, not be pre-screened. Stunning news, huh? The best thing about the announcement is that the studio is spinning their decision as a sign of their love for fans, rather than their hatred of critics and everything they stand for. To wit: "Understanding that [fans] would be the driving force behind the film, we decided early on they should be the first to see it."

--I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they're afraid critics will hate the movie.
