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!

The idea took off on the internet when someone on the net heard Samuel L. Jackson was cast in the film and came up with the idea of Jackson saying "There are MFin' snakes on this MFin' plane!" but the soundbite in the trailer sounds like he's too calm when he says it (and the line was shot for the film AFTER the gag).

I wouldn't be so sure he has a history of meeting his maker by the hands of animals.

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.That sounds like me, if a critic gave it a horrid review, I find that I usually like the movie. But I have a low sense of humor and am easily entertained. Heh
There's nothing wrong with Horror/action/sci-fi, I watch it all the time and it hasn't warped my mind...and I can pay anyone $20.00 to say so! :-)

What's the big deal? The snakes weren't carrying any "prohibited items," so the TSA must have passed them for boarding.
To: Cecily
Sure would like to see "Whorelywood" go bankrupt!If it went,so would their culture along with one of their best brainwashing tools.

"Why snakes??? Why did it have to be snakes...." Better than spiders, any day. I HATE spiders!!!
To: Cecily
Sequel:
Snakes on a tricycle!
It has less logical flaws.

Which brings us to the origin of my current tagline!
On June 3, 2006, Samuel L. Jackson said, while presenting the award for best movie at the MTV Movie Awards, "I'm here tonight to present the award everyone's been waiting for: best movie. Now, this award holds a special place in my heart because next year I'll be winning it for Snakes on a Plane. Now I know, I know, that sounds cocky, but I don't give a damn. I am guaranteeing that Snakes on a Plane will win best movie next year. Does not matter what else is coming out. The new James Bond... no snakes in that! Ocean's 13 ... where my snakes at? Shrek the Third... green, but not a snake. No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called Mo' Motha-fvckin' Snakes on Mo' Motha-fvckin' Planes."

Consider this. The snakes used in the movie came from around the world.
A significant number of them probably DID come on planes.

You are correct, and it was right after his tough talking in "Deep Blue."

If its anything like what I'm hearing the audience is like, it should make for an entertaining evening ;) Check out the thread on Fark, people are treating it like the next Rocky Horror Picture Show.
