Be A Pepper

Slither (2006)
directed by James Gunn
rating: 3 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from the vaults

I suppose "Slither" is enjoyable for all the reasons that it isn't like Hostel or Saw II, but I'd like to tip my hat to Gunn for acknowledging - for the first time in a movie, as far as I can tell - the use of "Coke" as a catch-all for all things soda. As in a mayor on the first day of deer season in rural South Carolina cursing an absent Mr. Pibb from the ice-chest:

"It's the only goddamned Coke I like."
