The cinematic triumph of 2006

Once I saw Samuel Jackson in xXx, I knew he would do any movie, no matter how bad.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?

 

[LightPhoenix]

That's the most hilarious IMDb talkback I've ever heard.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Good cripe. I for one will not be seeing this movie. Ever.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Must. See. This. Movie. Now.

Wow. I am unimpressed.

So what they'd do to come up with that concept? I am going to guess that they figured airplanes are popular and snakes are scary, ergo snakes on a plane, “Now we can't call it snakes on a plane, we need a better title, call my ‘creative team’, maybe they have better ideas.” Team was never called and therefore, "Snakes on a Plane."

Suggestioned marketing efforts:
"what goes HISS at 10,000 feet?"
"the hiss and rattle, the roar of the jet engine, Snakes and Plane, the summer's blockbuster thriller"

I smell an oscar.......for anyone in the same category that this ever makes it into with. And if that happens I'll personally buy all the merchandise associated with it. 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......he's been killed in almost every enviroment so far. Land sea and possibly air. All he has to do is get killed in space by some earthly creature.

"No, no, that's just not descriptive enough...oh, I know, how about, 'Snakes on a Plane!!' Eureka!!!!"

Man, poor Samuel has sunk to the lowest of lows. I see Elsa Pataky is in it though. Mmmm, yummy!

Snacks on a plane? Not likely! You're lucky if you get that little bag of peanuts, let alone something that would qualify as a proper snack.

Heh. I actually misread the title, and thought it said Sharks on a Plane.

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.
