The cinematic triumph of 2006

[The Grumpy Celt]

I have a feeling that this is gonna be the movie of 2006...

Hay, it's got Samuel L. Jackson. Donch you be talking Sack about the Jack!

Aye. 'Snakes on a Plane' has the potential (albeit remote, I accept) to be a little bit rubbish. You can't go wrong with sharks, though. Especially if the twist is that they have frickin laser beams...

After Samuel L got eaten in the first act of Deep Blue and Steven Segal bought it in the first ten minutes of that awful movie, the name of which I thankfully forget (also on a plane, but with less dangerous wildlife), I'd love to see a movie where a whole cast of big name action stars get killed off leaving an unknown actor to save the day.

Executive Decision, with Kurt Russell being the lesser-known actor who saved the day..

That was hillarious.....I mean, in what movie does Steven Segal's character die? He fights armies single-handedly, and here he's blown up in the first 10 minutes? How cool was that?

Admittedly, I haven't seen all his movies, but it's on the same lines as having an Arnie film where he bites it after the opening credits.

Kurt Russell is bigger than Steven Segal, surely?

Granted, Segal lives a healthy life in the B-movie market...

That said, fun movie that. I think it was the first movie I saw with Segal, so it didn't
really impact me much at the time, but definately cool moment. Same thing with Drew
Barrymore in Scream and Janet Leigh in Psycho.

Snakes on a Plane? That's one of the lamest titles I've ever read. Surely they could do better...
Let's see.... "Flying Crawling Death".. nah... "Snakes with Wings".. nah.. "Snakes in the Wild Blue Yonder"... nah..

dang, maybe "Snakes on a Plane" really was the best they could do...

So now Samuel L is trying to make movies where he gets killed off by different dangerous animals every other movie or so? Hmmm...dinosaurs, sharks, snakes

Echidnas on the Eurorail?

Actually, I like the title because it describes just what the movie is about. It's similar to that M. Night Shamalan movie starring Bruce Willis and Halley Joe Osment titled The Guy is Dead and Dosen't Know It.
