Fasten your seat belts: 'Snakes on a Plane' is a bumpy ride

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).

We just had this horror show earlier this week...

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.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Sure would like to see "Whorelywood" go bankrupt!If it went,so would their culture along with one of their best brainwashing tools.

[gogeo]

You might feel a little prick.

I have standards...this is waaaay too easy...

[Tenniel]

Or Funny Muzzies on a Plane... not.

[Xenalyte]

Man, Goldie Hawn really let herself go.

[jackibutterfly]

"Why snakes??? Why did it have to be snakes...."

Better than spiders, any day. I HATE spiders!!!

[MrEdd]

Sequel:

Snakes on a tricycle!

It has less logical flaws.

[Xenalyte]

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."

Looks like she got caught out in the rain.

[Xenalyte]

She must have been trying to get the cake someone left out there. :)

[weegee]

Consider this. The snakes used in the movie came from around the world.

A significant number of them probably DID come on planes.

[Lazamataz]

Why does it have pompoms in its ears?

I wanted to dress her up to meet my parents.

[Cecily]

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

[Froufrou]

Oh, okay. That explains the heavy eye makeup, then. ;o)

[weegee]

Bring some rubber snakes and you have the new Rocky Horror...

[BigTex5]

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.
