For some reason "MRA" makes me think of Mentally Retarded Adults. That's just how it scans for me. I guess that's not too far off.

Go if you have an interest in the movie. It's really only going to have about as much of an effect as MRAs did on the Star Wars movie. I think they cheering at making them suffer a loss of .012% or something. An incredibly minuscule amount of money, anyway.

As much as we all love semantics, all pit-vipers have a very similar head shape, and if you see that you know not to grab them, and that goes for rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths. Water moccasins are cottonmouths. Coral snakes are also extremely recognizable. Even if you forget the rhyme to tell it apart from a king snake, you know drat well to steer clear of a red, yellow, and black snake.

Fair enough. I just basically follow the "don't gently caress with snakes" rule or grab them at all. It's worked out pretty well for me so far.

Also, I live in Florida so, semantics aside, I have to deal with however many poisonous species there are no matter what that number is, and I once saw a baby rattler under my son's swing set in my own back yard.

What I'm saying is leave snakes alone no matter the shape of their head. It's a good rule and has served me well. Notice I'm not in any linked videos titled "Hey, Mr. Snake".

TFA made more money in DVD/video sales than most films will ever make at the box office, let alone the two billion dollars it raised at the box office. God alone knows how much it made on merch but it was probably more than the GDP of some countries. The fact that the MRAs ever thought they had any effect on anything by boycotting that movie is incredibly ludicrous.

Wikipedia's list of fatal snake bites has some good schadenfreude, like these dumbasses.

Thompson was found unresponsive in his car in a North Austin Lowes store parking lot. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. A Monocled Cobra that he was known to own was missing and was later found dead nearby having been run over by a car [12] An autopsy was performed and his death was ruled a suicide.[13]

That Wiki quote reads like the snake's death was ruled a suicide.

I was interested in the new Ghostbusters until I found out it was a reboot. I was kind of hoping it was like a 20 years down the line these skanks have taken over/started a franchise type story.

If we were getting a movie I wanted a sequel not a reboot.

They have a real bad day and realize that they don't actually have power or control over something, so when they see a situation where they can be powerful and controlling they totally lose their poo poo.
