Snakes on a Plane

[wiskey]

unsuprisingly i have completely missed this. whens it come out?

 

[lyra_k]

Considering the film had become a cult even before a single camera rolled because of the knowingly trasy title, I would have to disagree. In marketing terms it's probably the best title for a film ever.

Yep, it's genius.

You get two target audiences for the price of one....those who like silly OTT disaster movies, and those with irony glands still intact who "get it".....you lose the small section that think "oh, how ridiculous, "Snakes on a Plane", could they possibly be any less subtle?", but frankly, no great loss there.

That MTV speech by SLJ is so funny.

18th i think - this coming friday.

Worse name of a film ever? Say what you see folks. Any other nominations?

From imdb

Samuel, samuel, samuel......

Best name of a film ever. This movie will be a blockbuster, due to the name alone.

Jackson took the role because of the name.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Best film title for a long time.

Even if the movie is shit, it will be great.

"Snakes on a motherfucking plane"

My kids play a game sometime. At the end of every sentence they say, they add 'snakes on a plane'.

Go on, everybody: try it.

 

[WouldBe]

Best name of a film ever. This movie will be a blockbuster, due to the name alone.

Jackson took the role because of the name.

Got to be a crap plot though. Doesn't he go round shooting the snakes? Really sensible to do on a plane.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I think if you drop the pressure, it will just make the snakes mad and excited, so they'll go into a biting frenzy, and all the people will be glued to their seats, helpless, because they have to use the oxygen masks.

The snakes would go crazy under the seats, trying to bite every ankle and calf they could sink their fangs into.

 

[WouldBe]

Snakes are reptiles. They would go quiet and sleepy due to the cold then suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Snakes are reptiles. They would go quiet and sleepy due to the cold then suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

But that would take a few minutes. And there's a lot of snakes on that plane.

Yes but these are pot smoking snakes that hate American because of its freedom

 

[maya]

the snakes won't be "exterminated", they will be "liberated"...oh dear

 

[gsv]

It's classic B-movie appeal though isn't it? Everyone knows it'll be shit, and that's exactly why so many people will go and watch it...

No we don't know it'll be shit
In fact if it really is shit then I'll be a bit pissed off.

What we do know is that it has no aspirations to be anything other than exciting silly fun.
No morals!
No sermons!
No arty bits!
Just Samuel L with motherfucking Snakes on a motherfucking plane! Raaaahh!

Snakes-on-a-Plane-with-a-Heart!
Snakes-on-a-Plane-with-a-Heart!

[Hawkeye Pearce]

This could well be the best-worst film ever. So bad it is in fact good. Apparently the reshot part of it so Samuel L could utter the immortal phrase "we've gotta get these motherfuckin snakes off this motherfuckin plane!" Anything with a line that OTT and ridiculous has to be watched

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

It has Samuel L Jackson.

And snakes.

On a plane.


What can go wrong?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Got to be a crap plot though. Doesn't he go round shooting the snakes? Really sensible to do on a plane.

Somehow, I think logic may be a bit of a stranger to this particular film

 

[bmd]

Samuel L Jackson is only doing it because of the title, he got it changed back from another title.

The snakes would all die if they depressurised the cabin.

 

[gsv]

1. SLJ apparently signed on because of the title.
2. During shooting they changed it to Pacific Flight 121, allegedly so the cast could keep straight faces.
3. Then they changed it back, either cause SLJ forced their hand or because they planned to all along (depending on which version you believe).

[Bonfirelight]

Has anyone mentioned that Sam Jackson only signed on because of the title?

 

[electrogirl]

Jackson took the role because of the name.

OMG RLY????11

10th time's a dream.

 

[electrogirl]

Does anyone know what initially attracted Samuel to the film?

 

[Reno]

Does anyone know what initially attracted Samuel to the film?

Rumor has it that it was the title what made him take the job.

 

[bmd]

Does anyone know what initially attracted Samuel to the film?

No idea but the snakes would all die if you depressurised the cabin.

 

[Moggy]

There was a rumour going round about why Jackson signed on in the first place, what was it again?

 

[The Groke]

I just surprised that no-one has mentioned Ground Hog day

 

[Allan]

I just surprised that no-one has mentioned Ground Hog day

Why should they?

 

[DJ Squelch]

Why should they?

Because originally Samuel L Jackson was going to star in it but he didn't like the name.

I'm just surprised no-one has mentioned Groundhog day yet!
