Fasten your seat belts: 'Snakes on a Plane' is a bumpy ride
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | August 18, 2006 | Bob Longino

Here we are at "Snakes on a Plane" and ... what was that?

That over there. It moved. It looks like a wire, but it moved.

Hey, something almost touched that guy's foot.

It's a snake! I know it! They're coming now! Pick your feet up! They're here!

Mister Pilot, please stop hitting at that snake slithering over the control panel. Put that clip board down, sir. If you keep hitting at that snake something bad is going to happen. I'm sure of it.

Don't ... don't. If you don't stop, man, I'll come up to that movie screen and slap you all the way to China. I don't like snakes.

I knew it. He hit the air bag controls. They've dropped in the cabin and now all the snakes are loose!

I see a cobra! A rattler! They're here! They're everywhere! Dozens of 'em. They're in that woman's face. Oh, they bit that lady over there. Oh, they bit her again. Stop it! Stop it now!

Help me! Help me, Mace Windu! Save me, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi!

It's snakes on that ever-lovin' plane!

Oh, why do I have to be here? Why do I have to sit through this? I don't like snakes.

Oh, mama. They said there's gonna be 450 snakes in this movie! I lost count after 10. There's big ones, little ones, coiling ones, spitting ones, hissing ones. They're ridin' the drink cart down the aisle!

"Snakes on a Plane" looks like a parody of a real scary movie.

I want to see Samuel L. Jackson save the day (I'm assuming he does).

It sounds exactly like "Gremlins," only different.

The commercial cracked me up, but I don't think the premise can sustain a whole movie. There seems to me to be a somewhat racist note in a movie about a black man and a planeload of snakes, however, since there's an old stereotype about black people being hysterically scared of snakes.

Even worse is the movie Fuzzy Bunnies On A Plane.

Yeah, the Gremlins had a sense of humor about them, snakes don't have a sense of humor.

Look at Hillary. LOL

Are Muslims afraid of snakes?

I have never heard of that. I have a feeling that SLJ takes care of business.

I WILL NOT see the movie (I hate snakes) but think it would be hilarious for people to throw rubber snakes about the theatre while it's going one.

And you know somone somewhere is going to let snakes loose in a theater showing this movie.

Me to. Such a good title. They re-edited because the test audience said they wanted more violence and cussing. Total B-movie popcorn fare. Don't worry you can go see it. It will be our dirty little secret. ;-)

Unfortunately it is not meant to be funny, it is meant to be scary. In the end it will just be a bad movie, but it does have the making of being a cult classic.

Well, Einstein, it is snakes. And they're on a plane.

Said the Geiko gekko.

Very funny review.
