Snakes belong on film, not on the floor
I would have been hospitalized if this had happened when I saw the movie:

New Samuel L Jackson film Snakes On A Plane became terrifyingly real for Arizona cinema-goers when pranksters released two live rattlesnakes into the theatre, causing widespread panic. The two young venomous diamondback rattlers were released during a screening in Phoenix on Friday. Local news reports say the snakes caused chaos among the audience and snake wranglers were called in to collect them. No one was injured during the incident and the culprits have not been caught. Officials believe the snakes were smuggled into the theatre in backpacks. According to Phoenix Herpetological Society spokesman Daniel Marchand, "All they've got to do is startle this thing. It's dark. They can't see you that well. If it's scared - boom - it strikes!" The snakes were eventually captured and released into the Arizona desert.

My screening was thankfully snake free (except on the screen), and I missed a good third of the movie because my eyes were squeezed shut. I am told by my movie watching companions that I kick a lot. I also refused to go closer than four feet from any of the enclosures at the zoo.
All in all, it was a positive experience.
