Snakes on a Plane
Has anyone seen this advertisement for this film? At first I Thought it was a joke. Its even funnier when i found out that this film is for real. How is that going to be and interesting plot for 2 hours? I give it a week before it is a total flop and they pull it out of theaters.
My friends and are planning on going opening night with rubber snakes and throw them around while shouting "snakes in a movie theater! snakes in a movie theater!" Then sit back and watch and rip apart the film. |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
I don't get why people think is so funny. I think it's a very innovative and creative idea and it will define movie making for the rest of our lives.
Hahahahahahahah ![]() |

ET would be "Alien needs a friend or A home" Titanic would be "Boat in the water which sinks" The Matrix would be "Alternate world goes crazy" Star Wars would be.. well.. "Star Wars" still I guess.. LOL With this movie, I swear, if anyone even thinks of asking what it is about in my presence, I am gonna smack them. And, about this movie, I'm surprised this is the first time it was mentioned here on CD. The internet hype over this movie has been so large, it had fan sites even before it was finished being filmed. Stick Samuel L. Jackson on a plane, and throw in some snakes, and apparently you have a cult phenomenon. Weird. Speaking of Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction would be named "Angry People In A Movie With No Point Which Doesn't Have A Beginning Or Ending" - Directed By Quentin Tarentino ![]() |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
I guess I just ... don't get it. What's all the hype about? From what I've seen, the plot looks pretty boring. I don't see anything really "innovative" about it.

And then get kicked out. That's rude, and stupid. If you don't like the movie, then don't go and see it, don't ruin the experience for those who do want to see it. It's immature and a waste of your time and money, as well as the other patrons. I just don't understand why disrupting other people is fun. |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
Samuel L. Jackson basically forced the movie execs to keep the "literal" title, saying he wouldn't do the movie if they changed it to "Venom at 50,000 Feet" or some other such boring nonsense.
This is a movie Sam doesn't want you to take seriously. |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
For a little while I thought the movie was a hoax, cause I hadn't heard anything about it for a while. Then I saw commercials on for it TV again.
People seem to be saying that it will be so ridiculous and and poorly done, that it will be a cult hit. I don't think anyone is taking this movie seriously. I mean, come on, a boa with fangs? ![]() Quote:
). I don't think you should heckle the movie while it's playing though, just laugh along with everyone else at it's awesome badness. ![]() Last edited by Dylan : 09-07-2006 at 10:56. |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
I was so waiting for this thread to be started.
I found out about this movie back around March/April, and I'm so excited about it. It's amazing the way teh intarwebs can affect a movie. Once someone on the internets found out about the movie, they started the whole, "I want these motherf------ snakes off my motherf----- plane!" which was, of course, a snark on Samuel L. Jackson's role in Pulp Fiction. When they got back together to reshoot some scenes, they also added a scene where Sam's character actually yells that. I definitely cannot wait until it comes out, though. It's going to be such a bad movie that it'll definitely be worth going to. And Peter...I like your idea. ![]() |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
This is one movie I am looking forward to seeing just because it looks so incredibly ridiculous and Samuel L. Jackson is gonna kick some... snakes? The trailer and concept itself seems like one of those bad old Sci-Fi B movies that they rip on Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

Re: Snakes on a Plane
I still say Chinese movies based on Ancient China are the best.
And if you haven't seen "House of Flying Daggers" you have so missed out. "Snakes on a Plane" sounds like one of those frustrating movies, where you become restless, after 5 minutes. As for your idea...I agree with Matt. Just make sure that if you really want to do it, then do it before even the previews begin. After that, let the rest of the people watch the movie. Because the movie will most likely be more annoying, and hence make you funnier . And remember, you are giving your money away. To the horrible movie, really. For anyone who goes, enjoy . |

Re: Snakes on a Plane
I have been waiting for this movie to come out ever since I first heard about it back in February (when Wired magazine named it the "Worst Movie of 2006" - which is particularly prescient, when you consider that at the time of publication 2006 had not even started yet). I have been following the net parodies of the trailer with glee (some of my favorites are here, here and here - to see more, just check out YouTube or iFilm, and do a search on "Snakes On A Plane").
If you are wondering if you should go and see this movie or not, then let me suggest a few simple litmus tests to determine if you have the appropriate psychological appreciation for such a cinematic production: If you were able to actually keep paying attention to Plan 9 From Outer Space for more than the first seven minutes of the film, then Snakes On A Plane is for you. If you scoff at episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 because they are not creative enough in their abuse of the original lame plots, then this is a film you will love. If you understand that Peter's suggestion about bringing rubber snakes to the movie and crying out "snakes in a movie theatre!!!" is exactly the right thing to do, then you need to grab a handfull of rubber cobras, and prepare to be entertained. If you recognize the film "Eegah!" as one of the truly outstanding highlights of Richard Kiel's illustrious career, then Snakes On A Plane is right up your proverbial alley. If you show up at a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with a bag full of toast and dressed in white boxers and t-shirt, then we can count on where you will be spending every Friday night for the next 10 years - at the midnight screenings of Snakes On A Plane. If you liked Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes, then just give up now - get your sleeping bag and five bags of Tostitos, and go camp out right now so you will be first in line to get your tickets for the opening show of Snakes On A Plane. If you go to this movie expecting to see a cinematic work of art, then expect to be surprised (and in the distinct minority). If you go to this movie expecting the audience to remain totally silent and never voice their approval of the overwhelming badness of this film, then you need to go off in the corner and join those six other people that just don't have a clue. -dave |

Horray for midnight showings (Saturdays) at Harvard Square in Boston. (They still run there I think - Check it out if you are ever in Boston. Lowes Theater - Harvard Square.) |
