Sam Jackson... SNAKES ON A PLANE... MTV MOVIE AWARDS

Published at:  Jun 08, 2006 11:55:27 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... Ya know - clips from Award shows - I don't usually link to. There's no footage from SNAKES ON A PLANE here... just Sam Jackson telling it how it is about a film, a film I think he loves to death. I found this absolutely hilarious. There's just a spirit to this whole SNAKES ON A PLANE thing... and Sam has that "Snakes on a Plane" swagger. Watch him in this video. He's the man! And he sure as hell knows it. And I believe what he says on the MTV MOVIE AWARDS... Don't You?

    by terry_1978

    Snakes on a Plane will be clever at first, then slowly it will start to be overdone and said by upper middle class white boys time and time again, much like the Rick James, Bitch debacle a couple years back. Only Sam can do it, dammit.

    Greatest...Marketing...Ever

    by vanlingomungo

    This doozy will go down as one of the greatest, most completely organic marketing jobs ever. One of those "What the fuck just happened?" deals. And then another studio will try to copy it...and they will fail horribly, and we shall mock them.

    Mock movies? We never mock movies.

    by chickengeorgevii

    Movies are a way of life for us. Movies are what make us live. Movies are what make us die. Movies are what make us make love. Movies, such as "Snakes on a Plane" are the kind of things that cause us to pause in life, love our fellow man and family. Snake on a Plane will bring us tears of joy and provoke enough thought that we will all realize we are truly one and will finally find ourselves acting as one, in peace, for numerous generations. Snakes on a Plane will bring us together, teach us to be wise beyond our years, and help guide us the best path to live our existence in bliss and tranquility. I look forward to the day I can sit with all the others in the theater, and share that common bond of Samuel Jackson fighting off retiles. It will be the highlight of my life. It is going to be the highlight of all our lives. It will be known forever more as the one moment we as a torn world have been dying for.....And thus, please excuse me while I weep in joy! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!

    by orionsangels

    But that's the idea. If the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. We won't either. It's a gimmick movie. They say -Snakes on a muthafuckin plane a lot. We laugh and quotethe cheese. We think it's retro cool. See how that works? Damn, I'm so above everybody. I know how everything works in Hollywood. I don't fall for anything. I'm a cynical asshole to the max.

    Only Laughter...

    by oldboy

    ..in the entire theatre when the Snakes on a Plane Trailer showed was from me and my friends who have been waiting for it for quite some time. What were the other reactions? Mostly, "That's actually going to be a movie? Christ." But there was a very audible, "Hell yes!" from the teenage kid two rows in front of us.

    Fear this movie.

    by ironburl

    How sad, sometimes, to see a great old actor. No great tale in the theatre that evening. He sang the praises of his masters on a stage of greed and exploitation. Having said that;...SNAKES ON A PLANE!!! But, where does the line form for the backlash bandwagon once this thing is released and sucks major ass?

    This is the best advertising ever. Legendary PreHype in the making. Make the movie legendary before it even comes out and everyone will see it. The funny thing is, I'm sure it'll be two steps above a Sci-Fi Original and it'll STILL make 100 million on opening weekend. Mark my words.

    Did they decide from the get-go to make a campy film? Or did they just realize what they were doing half way through the process and decide to run with it? I mean, Sam Jackson is the kind of guy who will take a paycheck for anything.

    "Snakes On A Plane" was the working title that the studio intended to change, but Jackson told them no way. This movie is "Snakes On A Plane." So yeah, at least HE knew it was gonna be camp from day one.

    A sequel to escrape from La,where plissken,now a fugitive of the united states (post EFLA) flees to some european country. while snaeking abord a passenger plane little does he know that it's about to be hijacked by say..islamic radicals who plan to blow up the plane,snake takes em on but during the struggle the plane lands on some island which is used as a maximum insane asylum.
    the bomb inside the plane is still ticking..(timer delayed..24 hours..sound familiar?) thus it's up to our anti hero to get out of the island before it blows. yeah i know,it's a stupid premise,but i'd rather watch this than snakes on a muthafuking plane.
