Snakes on a Plane

[electrogirl]

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

From imdb

Samuel L. Jackson only signed on for this film because of the title. It was later changed to "Pacific Air Flight 121", but Jackson demanded they reverse the change. "We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."

Samuel, samuel, samuel......

 

[subversplat]

The premise of the film is just as bad! They really have run out out films to make, haven't they?

 

[The Groke]

Best film title for a long time.

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

"Snakes on a motherfucking plane"

 

[The Groke]

Mind you - the planned sequel; "Wasps on a Catamaran", looks even better.

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-fuckin' Snakes on Mo' Motha-fuckin' Planes."

tbh, the film hasnt really lied to us about what it is. The teaser trailer was pucker, when I went to see Da 'Code. And to see Sam Jackson leading the cast can only mean mace is back with a vengance.

 

[electrogirl]

Yeah I guess you've gotta love it's simplicity. I wonder what will happen...if we put snakes.......on a plane! Hell yeah!

Mr Jackson only argeed to doing the movie if it kept the name Snakes on a plane

Third time is always the charm.

Drop the oxygen masks. Depressurise the plane. Snakes sorted.

What's the running time, 5 minutes?

 

[Rosco]

This sounds nearly as bad as that film he did with the huge sharks, whatever it was called. Who on earth advises the Samuel one?

 

[Allan]

"Dude, Where's My Snake?"

 

[DogorKat?]

What's this film about?














somebody had to ask

 

[WouldBe]

What's this film about?

It's about a carpenters search for a rare wooden box plane with snakes carved on it.

Yeah, I figured Snakes On A Plane was a metaphor, until I saw the trailer! Sounds like it's gonna be the worst movie ever. Even worse than Anaconda, cos at least that was a giant snake. It wasn't on a plane though I spose...

Can't wait for the sequel. Will have to be Snakes in a space shuttle or something if they wanna top it...

My son and i looked at each other and laughed when we saw the clip on tv... then had to endure my brother rant about the stupid title, how they should drop the temperature....lalalala

Anyone seen it yet?

I liked the shark film! Especially the bit when SLJ gets chomped in half while giving his big morale-boosting speech.

Pigs!
In!
Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacce!

It's about a carpenters search for a rare wooden box plane with snakes carved on it.

Or perhaps it could be a follow up to Escape from New York set in northern France...

Perhaps not.

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

I hate titles using silly made up words or phrases like Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

Who cares? I've been waiting for fucking ages for this film, it looks fucking cool!!!

From the IMDB trivia section:

This film's title originated at an after-work happy hour among Hollywood colleagues to see who could come up with the most awful pitch for a movie. Producer David Berenson, who worked for DreamWorks at the time, gave his pitch for this movie based on a script called "Venom."

Mind you - the planned sequel; "Wasps on a Catamaran", looks even better.

Then after that.... "leaves on the line"

Elephants in a phone box.

 

[trashpony]

I'm sure I read something about him being in London to promote some other film recently and him turning up at the premiere wearing a 'snakesontheplane' promo top.

I fucking love Samuel - I would up sticks tomorrow if he wanted me to

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... It's pretty clear that the directors/actors are pissing about here - well, unless you follow the argument that it's a potent commentry on the shallowness and lack of thought in much of modern day Hollywood.

The revenge of the toads! Ooo

Yeah, at the risk of sounding wanky, there's almost something post-modern about it. I saw an advert on the side of a bus today and it looked exactly like the ones for movies like "the blob".
