How to convince your girlfriend to see "Snakes on a Plane"
"Snakes on a Plane" is finally here, but your girlfriend may have other plans for your weekend. Fear not! Below are five schemes sure to get you out of a romantic dinner and into a darkened theatre.
1. The Mushy Approach: Tell her you've had a lifelong fear of snakes, and you want to confront your phobia with her at your side.
2. The Tough-Love Method: Convince her you're going to the opera. When you pull up to the theatre, say, "I lied."
3. The French Connection: Refer to the movie only as "Serpents sur un Avion," leading her to believe an evening of culture is in store.
4. The Sleazeball: When she refuses, ask if you can have her best friend's phone number.
5. The 9-to-5: Tell her you need new material for your Daily News blog, or else it's back to "Isn't Anne Hathaway hot?"
You now have no excuse not to see this movie. For God's sake, it got three stars from the DN's Glenn Whipp!

I think the problem is, to the average woman, Samuel L. Jackson just doesn't qualify as "man candy."
