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!

I'd love to find out if Muslims are scared of snakes. Arafat looked like a wet rat though.
It hasn't been previewed for critics. A sure sign of a dog.
Why snakes??? Why did it have to be snakes....
Kept waiting for someone to use this title in reference to the London-to-America bombing plot. Still waiting...
I kind of think so, too. Or maybe, as others have noted, it just adds a bit of humor or it doesn't take itself too seriously, like in Gremlins. Either way, I'd love to see it, just having the inimitable Samuel L. Jackson in it makes it worth the ticket price, but I don't think I'm up for the shots of snakes lunging, from the audience point of view, full screen right in our faces, as I saw in a TV commercial. Shudder.
Maybe so, but I can't stand the movies critics give glowing reviews to. I am a horror/action/sci-fi fan so 3/4 of what I watch is crap anyhow. I think that I will love it.
Anyone remember the similar SNL skit, with cobras? Very funny. It was Tim Meadows and (I think) John Goodman. And cobras.
It's the Citizen Kane of snakes on planes movies...
You had to go there, didn't you?
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.
A Herpatologist! What is it?
It's a person devoted to the study of amphibians and reptiles, but that's not important right now.
What a desperate idea for a movie!The pea brains of America will however spend their money and waste their time seeing it.
Some of the more creative movies were made for the drive ins. Maybe they could sustain the film, and maybe they had to be more exploitive at times, but at least there was generally going to be some moment that was different than typical fare.
These days, the more creative horror films seem to be coming from other countries.
And if you want to be creeped out by crawling things. Nothing can match Hong Kong horror films like Centipede Horror (which includes scenes of a woman puking up live centipedes).
I'm intrigued by this film (2 for 1) slated for 2007:
Grind House (2007) Directed by Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino
Anything to get away from the Ramsey case coverage.
Lighten up Francis.
and for real life horrors...Muslims on a plane
That looks like a pinata.
I just read that it started as a bet at a bar in Hollywood - who could come up with the worst movie title. Then the idea took off on the internet.
Someone had a graphic for Sheiks on a Plane
Why does it have pompoms in its ears?
