Oh Lord... SNAKES ON A PLANE to get crazier and more hard-core because of... us?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... This year holds many anticipations for me. I can't wait to see Christophe Gans' SILENT HILL. I also have Richard Kelly's SOUTHLAND TALES to look forward to as well as Singer's SUPERMAN and Scorsese's THE DEPARTED. Is it so wrong that amongst those films is a title like SNAKES ON A PLANE? Well, maybe it is, but ever since the title was announced and Sam Jackson was announced as starring in that movie... The dream of what SNAKES ON A PLANE could be was born.
We've been talking about it online and that has spilled over into the mainstream. There have been many T-shirts printed (check here and here and here). I saw a comedian named Aziz Ansari open for Patton Oswalt during SXSW who stopped the bit to tell the audience about seeing that internet non-trailer and how genius that movie is going to be.
People might think it's a joke, but I guarantee you 99% of the people making fun of it WILL watch it. And now we might have just cause to do so...
Apparently, New Line has greenlighted a 5 day reshoot for the film... Not because it needed fixing, but to make it MORE hardcore, to take it from PG-13 to an R. In short, to make it as fun as the fans hope it can be, what they wish it could be... They want to fulfill the dream of what SNAKES ON A PLANE starring Sam "The Man" Jackson can be. And they're doing it because of the incredibly strong early fan support. As I said above, the movie is a joke to most people, but I can't deny that I'm genuinely excited to see the movie... I'm expecting a thing of beauty. Past generations got to see people like Oliver Reed fight snakes (the underseen, if not completely successful VENOM) and now we have SNAKES ON A PLANE, hitting theaters rated R. It could be glorious!!!

+ Expand All

...and now in hardcore vision!
-
Althought this sounds like last minute panic on the studio's side that the film they have is a far cry away from the film fans want with a title like that and Jackson on board. At least they are doing something, an R rating should go some way to fulfill our expectations.
-
Been done already with rats. Thank you Dr P.
-
Naked snakes on a plane
-
...Oh, I just did. Thanks.
-
That's what I call Good News! It will be the biggest partyflick since Deep Rising!
-
There is nothing to suggest any kind of quality to this thing so far. And I'm all the more jazzed for it. I told someone about this film the other day, and no word of a lie they said to me "What's it about?"
-
...We'll actually hear Jackson say the line: "Snakes! On a motherfucking plane!" And maybe see some actual snakewhipping. This just keeps getting better and better. I cannot fucking WAIT for this. Sheer genius.
-
...it will take for the first pointy-headed homunculus to show up and say: "What's wrong with you people? This movie is gonna suck ballz."
-
"When Ellis assembled Jackson and others for the recent shoot, the filmmakers added more gore, more death, more nudity, more snakes and more death scenes. And they shot a scene where Jackson does utter the line that fans have demanded."
-
...you just know they're gonna make "snakes on a train" or some shit like that. I don't think that would work as well, seeing as you could just get off at the next stop. Instead i'm hoping for more plane-based high concepts, like "Zombies on a plane".
-
about this movie will actually be able to convince their friends or loved ones to go see it in the theaters. I think TomBodet is right; most people will end up seeing it on DVD instead of in a theater.
-
We're laughing AT YOU, not WITH YOU on this one. Oh sure, everyone on the planet will see it -- for free, when they download it (and expect it be online within two seconds of its release), but I can count on zero hands the people I know who are actively planning on PAYING to go see this thing.
-
When Sammy L. screams, "There are snakes on the motherfucking plane!"
-
What? They're deadly to some people.
-
The Man Jackson vs a shitload of snakes... wait for it... ON A PLANE! :D
-
There's already a Zombies on a Plane movie coming out - It's called Plane Dead. I think there's actually another one too...can't remember the name of it.
-
AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!
-
The site linked is just late on the take. SnakesOnABlog.com and various other sites already reported that the re-shoots wrapped last week.
-
"Snakes on a Plane IV: The Revenge: This time, it's Presidential"
-starring Sam Jackson and Dick Cheney.
-Mild mannered Sam Jackson is stuck on another plane, filled with killer snakes. But that's not all. The Vice-President of the USA also is on that flight, shooting at everything that moves! Will Sam survive? will Cheney depressurize the plane with his horrid shooting? Who the hell cares? -
You're just encouraging them to demonise Snakes even more now. They're gonna get sucha bad rep after this film, that their numbers will start to go down. Do you know a lot of species are already extinct? Why do youi wish to make Snakes look a dangerous, venemous (only 20% of them are, and only 99% of a Black Mamba Snake bite will kill you), evil and with a desire to ATTACK humans and kill them!!!!! Snakes aren't like that!!!!!! Quint, yourself, everyone that runs thsi site nad all you ignorant gits here are ATTACKNG snakes yourself and are making them become more hated and therefore killed and hunted in real life. Why can't you all stop being so childish and learn to be more caring for what you portray as bad in movies. This stuff really p*sses me off.
-
I love the non pretentious nature of Snakes on a Plane, I just hope it does not launch a barrage of Hollywood copycat films like Scorpions on a Train, or Bee in my Bonnet, etc.
-
Just kidding. Bears on a boat?
-
I think the reason this movie is gaining popularity (even before it's release) is the fact that the people of the world are ready to laugh and feel good at the movies again. Sure we had Munich not too long ago but it wasn't the lighthearted romp that Spielberg had given us once so long ago with Schindler's List. Now I know what you're thinking, "but AARONIUS" you say, those movies and Snakes on a Plane are nothing alike. I beg to differ. I think you could replace the snakes with Nazi's and extend the movie out to three hours with Sam J giving some long-winded speach about how not only does he hate snakes (Nazi's) but how he isn't very fond of intelligent man-eating sharks either. It would of course conclude with his famous quote from that Grisham movie (the one about the snakes in a courtroom)"Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!"
-
We film geeks like to bitch. Let's face it we LOVE to bitch. And there is nothing more annoying then films that take themselves too seriously and are crap. But crap films that know they are crap and celebrate that, well they are embraced. The Evil Dead Series, Braindead (Dead Alive), Lake Placid etc are all cult classics thanks to this simple idea. Everything I have heard about this project has made me crack up. Sam 'The Man' Jackson signing on for the film after hearing the title BUT BEFORE HE READ THE SCRIPT! Sam 'The Man' threatening to walk if the said title was changed. I don't care of this is marketing bullshit. It's funny. And then the trailer. Pure. Genius. As for whether it will do well in the cinema, depends on how funny it is. It HAS to be funny both un-intentionally AND intentionally. But it can't descend too much into self parody. But if what the reports say are to be believed, the studio is going about it the right way. They are using the three Bs. Blood, Boobs and Bad Acting. For all those saying this is gonna be a bad film. Well done. Thats just like saying "Harry's a Sell Out" [Just Kidding big guy. We loves ya!] I am not being insincere when I say I want to see this film. And I am sure a lot of others on this site will see it, providing it as funny as it looks.
-
Sam is someone who I enjoy seeing on the big screen, no matter HOW AWEFUL the film is. It's just one of those guilty pleasures.... but at some point you KNOW he's going to stop and ask himself.. "WTF am I doing??"
-
I know it... I should be excited, like you are, but that trailor did not have me saying "this is gunna be soooo bad it will be GREAT!" Nope, I was just thinking this is gunna be terrible. Also, be honest with yourself, YES sam Jackson CAN be the most BADASS BADASS in hollywood, but when was the last time he actually was???? Like I said, I'm A DICK!! I KNOW IT...I just can't get excited about this flick...
-
I'm still waiting for this one.
-
Probably not, but anything with more snakes, death, violence and nudity will probably be better than a movie with less of the above. I wonder if they can work a sexy snake dance in like in Dusk till Dawn...
-
As exciting as it would be to here Sam Jackson go all Pulp Fiction in this thing, I think I'll pass. I'm still getting over the crypt scene in Raiders - I don't need to sit squirming in a theater while reptiles are crawling underneath the seats of a 757. Enjoy it, guys, and tell the rest of us about it when it comes out.
-
I bet the reshoots are so they can add a few Jackson cursing rants about the snake situation, bumping this baby to the R.
-
Sam Jackson redeems himself for the sissy death in ROTS with a badass rampage on some snakes...on a MUTHAFUKKIN PLANE!!!!
-
And not in a "So bad, it's good" way.
-
...and if so does that mean the sequel will be "Trouser-Snakes On A Plane?"
-
I'm pretty sure we are laughing WITH Sam Jackson, and not AT Sam Jackson. Obviously, SLJ is smart enough to realize that this concept is so stupid and fun that a large population of 18-35 year olds will pay money to see this. I hope this movie does will.
-
Well I'll be damned... the Slither screening in STL went over extremely well. Be sure to check it out on March 31st. It has all kinds of craziness in it.
-
Will there be nudity in this movie? If we get to see topless ladies attacked by snakes, this movie is going to be beyond cool... go for that hard R baby!!
-
Now it's a mainstream phenomenon (and it's only going to get worse). I'm no longer interested. By the time this comes out in the fall, no one will care anymore. They started the hype machine too early.
-
...Why'd it have to go and be motherfuckin' snakes?" Tom Bodet is a brilliant drawer of parallels. Eight-legged Freaks was one of the last truly fun films I can recall seeing at the theater, and if the studio really went back at this with a "Let's-give-the-Internet-fanboys-what-they've been-joking-and-clamoring-for" attitude, I have no doubt this will be just as entertaining. They pretty much have to borrow the bit from The Simpsons where Lisa used some Barry White bass to draw the snakes to her place on Whacking Day.
-
enough is enough, i've HAD IT with these reshoots!
-
...on a PLANE! : D
the sequel in which sam jackson falls asleep in airports and wakes up to discover that someone has "stolen" his african killer bees...
"wheres my motherfuckin bees ?! they was grown in the homeland-...sh-it!!!!!"
cue SCREAMS
"oh NO you jus- didnt. AGAIN?! looks like this mans got some cleanin up to do..."
pulls GUN
"die BEES! DIE!"
-
. . . Sam bite it super early in this flick, even earlier than he did in Deep Blue Sea. Caught that scene on T.V. the other day. So fuckin' funny!!!!
-
the logo is so awesome
-
That is all.
-
This has been around Fark and the IMDB for a while now. Still awesome though. When the AFI gives "We got snakes on the motherfucking plane" the award for best movie quote, it should be interesting.
-
... which must land in Hawaii, where a few get out, and free! Can you imagine the ecological havoc wild snakes would make on the (heretofore) snakeless island of Oahu?
-
People who hate this movie, just "don't get it". There are just some layers to Snakes on a Plane, each following the classical archetypes explored in Joseph Cambell's Hero of a Thousand Faces. My fear is that because this movie is so deep, that the general movie going audience won't understand it.
-
I.E., the Bush administration on Air Force One. HAHAHAHAHA!! Thus concludes this TalkBack's obligatory Bush insult. Carry on with the snake stuff.
-
First of all, Jackson must have a pretty hefty crack habit to agree to do a movie like this. Second, I see the fan base a-la the giant Spider movie a few years back but JEEZUS! I was watching the trailer and my cat came by and tried to cover up my monitor.
-
Uhh...yeah.
-
must .. not .. let .. snakes .. return .. to .. Ireland!
-
Damn you... God damn you all to hell!
-
Always bet on black. Again.
-
The Academy better get off their asses for this one I want to hear no excuses whatsoever for this not picking up 10-13 noms at next years Oscars. No excuses. The only thing that could make this any better is if there were a way to get even more great professionsals involved. How much extra would it cost to say have John Williams, hans Zimmer or James Horner score this? Can we get Robert Richardson or Janusz Kaminski behind the lens for these re-shoots? Come on New Line get your shit together. Finally the vehicle that gets Sam The Man to the star level he so richly deserves - thanks for nothing Quentin. I feel like a school girl on Easter morning.

-
I don't think I've ever heard of something like this happening before. A 5-day reshoot to make a PG-13 movie rated R? Fuck yeah! Snakes on a motherfuckin' plane!
-
THERE ARE MOTHERFUCKIN' SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKIN' PLANE!
-
By the way, it was going to be PG-13? Fucking lame.
-
Mar 23, 2006 11:02:30 AM CST
Yeah, those snakes deserve to die and I hope they burn.
by lost skeleton
...in hell...now drink bitch! Snakes on a plane plus Sam Jackson is entertainment. This movie is going to be the bomb espeically with that R rating. I actually hope it is played straight.
-
Oh sorry... Snakes... Plane... I guess I'm just hard of hearing. But what is the plot of this? Does one guy want to trade his cobra with another guy's asp so they can each have their own snakes bite the other guy's wife? Nobody would suspect the husbands when the coroner discovered the venom was not from the proper snake. The perfect snake-related murder!!!
-
You see...one apostrophe and you've got a whole new Escape From New York sequel.
-
Passengers On A Plane
-
Great way to make a non-point: "it was going to be PG-13? Fucking lame." That's like saying "Rocky is a sucky film because they were going to cast Burt Reynolds."

-
I just hope its the *whole* line I'm demanding: "There's snakes on the motherfuckin' plane - and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it!". I can hear Jackson saying it so clearly in my head, it will be worth the $8.50 just to hear him say that one line on the big screen. And watching the Goodburger kid get attacked by a bunch of said snakes - well, that more than justifies the other $18 for a small popcorn and Diet Coke.
-
dodgy cgi just ruins it. I just hope they either increase the fx budget and have decent looking snakes or have Sam fighting rubber snakes. Bad Cgi will take all the fun out of this
-
a film with an A-Lister, decent budget, and a theatrical run. the catch? it's like they made Megalodon 3 on PURPOSE. god, Andy Kaufman would be pleased. it's a true celebration of mediocrity.
-
Wasn't this an SNL Sketch with Will Ferrell? Something about a cobra being loose on the plane?
-
This and Slither. that's what i'm talking about! it's the FUN aspect. horror/disaster movies are my roller coasters.
-
Rapes on a plane?
-
are you kidding?
-
This movie is definitely my most anticipated release of 2006.
-
The "B-52 Bomber" segment of Heavy Metal.
-
This had nothing to do with any no-name comics walking to 10 people about it.
-
Is an actual line in the trailer. This implies that up until that point, Samuel L. Jackson and the passengers were living in harmony with the snakes. But the snakes kept pushing. And then they went too far. And that was their big mistake.
-
the camera pans to the ventilation track... where we see some snake eggs about to hatch... and hear a hissing sound. Fade out.
You KNOW is gonna happen -
That was farking hilarious. Now I got the dude in the cube next to me looking at me weird. Gold!
-
Reshoots to make this movie even *more* snakey and planey? Because net posters demand more cool? And I thought the interweb was just for pornography and hacking into the pentagon to start global thermonuclear war. Awesome.
-
I think New Line made this with this in mind. They knew that a film called "Snakes On A Plane" could never be taken seriously so they decided to go through with it while being in on the joke with the audience. I am looking forward to watching this in theaters. I bet this will the best comedy of the year.

Plane Dead - Not a Joke, Zombies on a Plane starring Beni from Sommer's THE MUMMY (Kevin J. O'Connor)
http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/005521.html -
"And there isn't a goddamned thing you can do about it!" Execs, if you're reading this, please make Sam "The Man" Jackson say that in the movie. Oh please. If he doesn't, it'll be such a letdown...
-
With Hulk Hogan in place of Sam Jackson... "There are Snakes! ON the MOTHERFUCKIN PLANE!!! BROTHER!!!!"
-
Say that they should stop putting black people in movies? Racist bastard. Oh - snakes? Snakes? We're talking 'bout snakes, right? Yeah, up till this trailer came out I cozied up to quite a few snakes, buying them drinks, taking them to dinner. But ho now, there's such thing as poisonous snakes? This changes everything. I must admit that if a black man wearing much Jheri Curl and a fine black suit rolls up drinking a sprite from GoodBurger, I will not give him a ride anywhere, ever. So I can see in many instances how movies have damaged by real - world interactions. I hope a dude with a handle like CAp Kirks 2Pay was a-joking. He was joking, right?
Now, if in 30 years SLJ pulls a Benchley and expresses deep regret for damning the love affair we humans have previously had with snakes, I'll mea culpa. How come guys always wait to do that sh*te till all the checks clear? -
"Cold hearted snakes - they don't play by rules." "This summer, you will believe a snake can fly - on a plane."

The 9/11 story.

...I'm sure part of the reshoot was to insert a more graphic bathroom sex scene.
I'm hoping for a "Vampire Syphillitic Midgets On A Plane" sequel. -
my god let me go to the ticket booth and say one for two if I am with the cute gal and say for SNAKES ON A PLANE. Fuck where do we go from here? Funny my logical part of my brain says I am not in the friggin matrix now. Of course starting to drink the heavy stuff at 7:30 in the morning and listening to good/bad 80s music sure the hell doesn't help. Damn I love the 21st century, computers, the internet, robots and fuckin snakes on a plane. Sign me up. Till rabit dogs on an ocean liner keep it real dogs. I need another drink. out
-
hammered I can not even spell and type sentences. Someone take away my keyboard before I hurt someone or myself.;) Damn this 80's shit is way pop fun. Oh yeah Sam Jackson mother fuckn real. Then most geeks and George Lucas knew that. Snakes in my frikken computer! alienout

Sorry. Typo.

I think the Snakes On A Plane premise kills brain cells
by incrediburgible
How can it not? ("Two for Snakes On A Plane, please. Thank you.")
-
Snakes on a Plane 2: Planes on a Snake
(I stole that one). -
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura (coming out of retirement). Hell yeah
-
I mean I understand that the guy is in fact the man but if you keep reminding us of him co-starring with Eugene Levy in THE MAN he might stop being the man. Besides, doesn't his name alone do the trick? It's self-explanatory. Also I would just like to mention that nothing makes me squirm like someone saying they are laughing at something and not with it when in fact they are laughing with it but are just too clueless to understand it. In other words, if you don't understand that SNAKES ON A PLANE is intentionally ridiculous, these things called movies might be a little advanced for you.
-
I think that they may just as well have rubber snakes on ropes, because I guarantee you that that would sell more tickets than CG snakes. This will no doubt be a new cult favorite.
-
Jakes on A Plane
starring Jakes Lloyd, Ryan, Gyllenhall, with a special appearance by the Fatman -
Yeah, it's fun to joke about a dumbass movie called Snakes on a Plane, but it's another to waste 10 bucks to see it, especially since it'll be on pay-per-view about two weeks after it opens. What does it tell you that they didn't even have the cajones to make it R in the first place? They probably didn't have the cajones to make a real movie, either.
-
The cherry on top would be a 2 minute opening with Christopher Walken sitting in a chair, talking to the camera and giving a Walkenesque tirade about why anyone would be in a theater for a movie called 'snakes on a plane'. It would be written by Tarentino.
-
..as Samuel L. is to Bit the Snake. RIP your once amazing career.
-
durhay that is the best tagline i have ever seen....
wasn't the guy who directed bride of chucky and freddy vs jason going to direct this originally?
did he in the end? -
"This Time It's Personal"...make SLJ's backstory that he has encountered snakes on a plane before, on a trip to the middle east...shades of Father Merrin. oh shoot, I just had a happy accident in my pants thinking about how funtastic this movie is going to be. Thank you Baby Jesus!!
-
The point is it's hilarious all you nerds have been making noise about a lame thriller that up until this point was intended to be PG-13.
-
I'm pretty sure most of us "nerds" didn't hold out any hope of this thing being rated R before today. Snakes on a Plane transcends ratings, but sure -- I'm certainly more pleased that it's now an R flick, while you, on the other hand, could probably never find anything funny about Snakes on a Plane which is beyond sad.
-
Next year, Paris Hilton's Chuhuahua will star in a movie.
Storyline - a girl was called a bitch so much, that she finally literally became one. She learned the truth about life from a street-wise terrier voiced by Hugh Jackman. After several scenes of butt sniffing and dog humping, the dogs are both turned into humans who live happily ever after.... until after the credits when the audience discovers Paris Hilton is preggo with puppies!!!!

by det. john kimble
'5-day reshoot' eh?
-
Oh, well.
-
Look, having a poseur / hip / distainful attitude about practically every single movie out there is all fine and good. But not Snakes On A Plane. Its so self-referentially stupid that it trancends parody and distain. Because its an actual multi-million dollar movie. About snakes. On a plane. That's it.
-
just you wait and see
-
I shit you not - they just had a clip of Samuel Jackson saying, "Think of bringing together the people afraid of flying, and the people afraid of snakes..." I am not kidding.
-
It has begun.

Samuel L Jackson kicks asp in this high-flying thriller
by bannedontherun
...with more than a few twists! Look at me, I'm Gene Shalit!
-
Why are they listening to the "fans" now? They must of not thought of it as this huge joke of movie when they greenlighted it. That's what's so hilarious about this. Someone could of gotten fired at New Line and now is being promoted because Snakes on a Plane is going to beat out Titanic as the highest grossing movie of all time. I wonder if they screened the movie and were like, "Shit...this kinda sucks. Why did we do this again? Yeah, I know Sam Jackson signed on, but I thought we had a good summer hit going." Now, the executive who was biting his fingernails from the rough cut is doing a nice little jig because "fans" have embraced how ridiculous the idea is, therefore saving himself from commiting suicide in the basement of multi-million doller home in the hills. weird. That being said, can't wait to see it.
-
Rated "BBW."
-
I'm still sticking to it, i'm def gonna see it
dont know why
but pigs in a blanket should rock too -
...to the SNL skit that inspired this film? I still laugh every time I think about it. And I think the sequels should be titled: "Snakes on a Train" and "Snakes in DesPlaines." And at some point, Sam has to say: "I am Sam! Sam I am (motherfucker)! I will not suffer them on a plane! I will not suffer them on a train! I won't even tolerate those scaly legless mother fuckers in Des Plaines! And they will know my name is Sam (I am) when I lay a powerful whackin' down upon them!"
-
Are you serious?
Snakes!?!?!? On the Mutha fuckin plane!? GOD HELP US!
For the love of all that is good and holy get some flummage onto Captain Kirks tupee and get them the hell on that plane! -
Thanks for making me laugh like a fuckin idiot!!!
-
featuring all of my biopolar exgirlfriends alternately crying, screaming, fucking, and drinking themselves to death.
-
...are the people who don't understand the tongue-in-cheek nature of it! This movie is gonna rule all sorts of awesomeness.
-
maybe they're Ninja Stunt Snakes. is Jessica Alba in it?
-
The film should start with the plane already up, the snakes already loose, and a couple people already dead. No explanations needed. Just commence with the Action Jackson: "No, I cannot FLY a muthaf*&kin' PLANE!! And what WHITE muthaf&*ka brought these GODdamn SNAKES on here, anyway!?"
-
Was that ever released? Wasn't SLJ in that, too? Oh, and Idunno-- that made me laugh out loud. Thanks!
-
It doesn't need more gore. It needs Steven Segal getting blown out of a hatch, Kurt Russell as the pilot, and Halle Berry as a flight attendant. Yeah...
-
- for the zero-g sequence of floating snakes! "They checked for boxcutters. They checked for shoe bombs. But they didn't check for ... SNAKES!"
-
the fuselage - causing loss of air pressure that suck snakes halfway through, plugging the hole and removing the threat.
-
Opening title card: BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS...
-
and then they show real photographs of the "real" people who went through the horrific event at the end of the film. It will then explain how the courage of one man saved a commercial airline from....snakes.
-
Indiana Jones cowers in the first class bathroom. "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes???"
-
That's just the thing. This movie was never intended to be tongue-in-cheek. It's supposed to be serious. If you're expecting the tone of LAKE PLACID or EVIL DEAD you won't get it here. All you'll get is MST3K-style unintentional comedy.
-
dude, who cares? it's fucking snakes on a muthafuckin plane!
-
"I Hate Snakes"
-
Beware the horror of his greased Palantir
-
I would pay money to see a snake slither out of Sharon Stone's cooter. By the way, has anyone even seen a version of Basic Instinct 2????
-
The sequel is 'Evil Dancing Jews on a Van'...
-
Directed by John Woo, it'll have a scene with Sam Jackson firing dual pistols in front of an explosion in mid air, with doves flying directly behind him... and then snakes will also rise up into the air and eat the doves... all in mid air... possibly a bullet time sequence...
-
just genius.
-
First of all, when you TRY to make a cult film, it almost always fails. A cult film is something that just happens."Snakes on a Plane" used to be that. Now, it isn't anymore. It's as manufactured as a "Scary Movie" sequel. Second, if movies are going to alter their identity to please internet hype, well, that's just too frightening to think about.
I was looking forward to this movie. Now it is nothing more than a crass exploitation of a trend. The internet has ruined "Snakes on a Plane." -
I'm gonna havta dig out my disguise kit for this one - no way can I let anyone see me buying a ticket for this cheesefest!
Saw SamTheMan on a daytime talk show the other day (no WAY will I admit to EVER watching that kaffeeklatch The View, on ABC, check your local listings...). They said he'd done something like over a hundred movies, and why did he work so hard?
He first said, "Well, I grew up in a house where everybody got up and went to work. That's what you do, get up and go to work - and I really enjoy working." Then, as an aside to one of the ladies, he said "Besides, for the insane amount of money they pay me, why WOULDN'T I enjoy going to work?"
And 'Oh yes, there will be MF's.'
Just as nobody can drop the F-bomb like Pacino, nobody can lay out an MF smackdown like SamTheMan. -
Samuel L. Jackson's new mile-high thriller Snakes On A Plane has created such a buzz among internet film fans, movie bosses have called for re-shoots - to give the film a tougher rating. The film, which stars Jackson as an FBI agent trying to keep a federal witness alive onboard a plane full of snakes, wrapped last September - but went back before the cameras earlier this month for five days of additional shooting. Film bosses at distributor New Line Cinema opted to add new scenes to the film to take the movie from PG-13 into R-rated territory, according to industry magazine The Hollywood Reporter. They claim the second round of filming became necessary after intense and growing fan interest in the film, which is scheduled to be released this summer. Among the reported additions to the film is a foul-mouthed rant from Jackson in which his agent character bellows, "I want these motherf**king snakes off the motherf**king plane!" The line is expected to take on cult status. The film-makers have reportedly added more gore, more deaths, more nudity and more snakes to the finished product.

SamTheMan didn't say 'Oh yes, there will be MF's' on the show, that was just me.

...if it wasn't for HOSTEL.

Admit it, he hasn't really had a good film role since A Time To Kill in '96, with exception to The Incredibles and Chaning Lanes. I love the guy, but I'm so sick of hearing people announce him as the highest grossing actor in the business. I don't think bit parts should count. They actually counted his ten minute filled role in Jurassic Park? And his subpar performance in the Star Wars prequels. Anyway, he's still the man in many ways. Just waiting for that good role in that good movie.

add a love scene and shit
get this mothafuckin snake off my face! -
"Next year, Paris Hilton's Chuhuahua will star in a movie. Storyline - a girl was called a bitch so much, that she finally literally became one. She learned the truth about life from a street-wise terrier voiced by Hugh Jackman. After several scenes of butt sniffing and dog humping, the dogs are both turned into humans who live happily ever after.... until after the credits when the audience discovers Paris Hilton is preggo with puppies!!!! ---- Directed by Brett Ratner & Dr. Boll & Produced by Dino De Laurentis ----"
That actually sounds somewhat interesting to me... -
Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Jackie Brown, Out of Sight, Coming to America. And as "Black Guy" in Sea of Love. End of list.

MUTHAFUCKA!! Ain't a GODdamn thing!!!
-
These should be the last words from Jackson`s character.
-
...I'm there, just for the title and just for Sam.
-
They should show this as the inflight entertainment on major airlines.
-
Damn. Thought it was a new Snake Plissken film.
-
Spanish version
-
...talk to the snakes and convince them to chill the f*** out?
-
It's about the father of the dude in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK finding an old B52 bomber in the jungle. He turns to Kurt Russell and says "SNAKE SON A PLANE!"

It's like this. The title has evoked something in people. A sort of primal fear which makes it all just seem like "wow, snakes on a plane. that'd be fucked!" And the campaign of single frame cartoons has just been pure comedy. Unfortunely though, and I'm sorry DocPazuzu, but Snakes on a plane might be slimey and icky, but thats just it. Does anyone here actually know what snakes are like? they don't exactly attack like little monsters that need your blood to keep moving. Snakes are cool little fuckers and they just kinda hide in corners or slime around. To suggest that this film is going to be 'kickass' or ... yknow, the best thing since chocholate covered tits, well.... something tells me we're not really in for a fantastic ride here. If anything, we're all enjoying the best part of this film right now. sorry.

everytime i see the words i want these muthafarking snakes off the muthafarking plane, i can hear sam saying them.. it cracks me up.. for this reason, and this reason only i'm watching the movie.. the release date seems miles away though
-
be about the survivors of a third piece of the plane that crashed on the island: snakes. You'll thrill to all the snake flashbacks.
-
I predict boobies in the new shoot. Which means I will watch it...when it comes on HBO at 3 in the morning and there's no soft-core on Cinemax.
-
I'm fuckin anticipating this movie man. then you go THERE'LL BE SOME COOL SHIT SOON!!! Yeah, soon as in never. Thanks for nothing. Either spill what you got or don't mention it. Too many promises regarding this film are being broken. Unfortunately im still excited about it.
-
Sssssssssssssss.
-
"it's not impossible motherfucker, it's happenin' right now! and there aint a GOT DAMN thing you can do about it!!!"
-
"theres motherfuckin' squid!!! on a moped!!! and theres not a GOT DAMN thing you can do about it!!!"

It'll Rikki-Tikki your Tavi!

It won't be a stylish marriage!
-
Marsupialicious!
-
Time to get a new fence!
-
Not quite snakes, not quite a car.
-
Follow your nose!

...but imagine the suspense if a poisonous snake were to bite the pilot and some she-schmoe (a la Sandra Bullock) had to take the controls. Now THAT would be exciting. P.S. The Player 2: Snake in an SUV.
-
"OUCH! MOM!!!! OH GOD IT HURTS!!!" Here I am! Rock you like a hurricane!
-
the answer: roundhouse kick.
-
I just saw the Wikipedia entry for "Snakes on a Plane"... and it shows a screaming Paul Reubens, who apparently makes a cameo as Pee Wee Herman. If this is not now officially must-see filmmaking, I don't know what is.
-
And if this movie were called "Terror at 15,000 feet" or "The Deadly Ssssssskies" no one would give a shit.
-
Snakes On A Plain. Hollywood always fucks up the sequels.
-
Another "8-Legged Freaks" I fear.
-
SAM JACKSON sees a gaggle of snakes slithering about the rear of the jet liner and responds shouting.
SAM: Snakes!
Shot cuts to wide angle of plane in the air but SAMS voice is clearly heard over the roar of the engines.
SAM: Snakes on the motherfuckin plane!
-
"Snake on a Plane" is the last true great stupid high concept movie ever.
