Is there any movie this guy says no to. He does like 14 of them a year. That spoof poster is funny though.

OH YAH.

Snakes on a muthaf*ckin plane!

This is totally an Internet meme - how have you missed it for this long?

(Tell me you are at least familiar with the "greasy ride" meme. For a while it was being hybridized as "snakes on a muthaf*ckin greasy ride." Fortunately that has stopped.)

I laugh every time I think of SLJ yelling "We got muthafuckin' snakes on the plane!" into a radio. If he doesn't say that in the movie I'll be angry.

Oh-MY-GAWD! I thought this was a joke when I saw it. But then I opened the Wiki link. Too much.

Haha

Samual L. Jackson's voice is one I can hear saying just about anything, anytime.

"Damn, I spilled my soup"
"What time is it"
"Where is the bathroom"
"I love you"
"Where is my motherfucking bingo dauber"

I'm not going to lie. I've been on this band wagon since the damned thing was announced. I believe that all people should worship SoaP.

Got a shoutout tonight from Jon Stewart! (as did the need for the US and Mexico to join forces to take care of Canada. Given a choice, I'll hope it is the movie that is real!).

I read somewhere on the wild world web, that SLJ said yes as soon as he heard the TITLE!!! You've got to admit, it is pretty funny -- a title that tells the whole muthaf*cking story in just four words Very Happy

They have a big promotional poster up for this flick at the Silvercity or Megaplex or Crameminem(?) out on the QueenE going toward the airport here in Toronto.

After laughing, I proceeded to entertain my wife with a few lame and approximate SLJ expressions. (Ehh, she was trapped in the car).

I'll see this. It will probably be crappy, but what a concept. “Are you listening to me? I said we got motherfuckin’ snakes on this goddamn plane, and I’m just trying to eat my Royale with cheese in peace.”

So Snakes on a Plane has generated so much interest on the internet that New Line Cinema apparently reopened filming five months after the main shooting had been wrapped up just to add parts wanted by fans.

The verdict is in and it doesn't suck! (too much) 64% fresh from Rotten Tomatoes!

Samuel Jackson was on the DailyShow the other night, he and Jon Stewart laughing and *bleeping* about it; and they played Jackson's favourite clip, where he yells (TINY SPOILER BUT YOU KNEW HE WAS GONNA SAY IT AT SOME POINT):
"I'm sick of these mother&*%#ing snakes on this mother&*%#ing plane!"

Holly S, if he actually says that, I must see it. Just because it is so freaking weird that the internet has made something loggers wanted to happen come true!

Of course it is a fantasy. The whole thing is derivative of Samuel L.'s role in Pulp Fiction where he sported a huge afro for no discernable reason. Jules in PF was a reconstruction of blaxploitation themes redone in a contemporary movie. SOAP is doing almost the same thing (though slightly less artful, admittedly) in cashing in on previous film motifs in a pastiche of depthlessness. I mean, it's Snakes on a Plane, for chrissakes. There's no plot, it's only the B-movie cashay that makes it worth seeing in the first place.

And "Snakes on a Plane" is not clumsy. It's poetic. "Kill Bill" is roughshod and tacky. As was the film itself.

New Line Cinema's previously number one film release, "Snakes on a Plane" lost altitude in its second weekend, falling to sixth place with $6.4 million, a steep 58 percent drop, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"Snakes on a Plane" had been preceded by a whirlwind of Internet buzz that the movie failed to live up to, opening with a modest $15.2 million. Starring Samuel L. Jackson as a federal agent battling killer snakes on a redeye flight, the movie had taken in $26.5 million in 10 days.

Maybe this was all about making the internet seem pointless?

They clearly don't understand webmunities yet.

I do think this could do wildly well on DVD, released before the holiday season and positioned as (pretty much) a gag gift.

Wee Mousie · Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 8:07 pm Post subject:

I'll pass on Snakes on a DVD. I'll probably wait until the Internet Archive has it online.

Snakes on the Internet should do much better, which you would realize it only you understood that the Internet is just a series of tubes which the snakes can slide down.

I saw this movie earlier today.

All I can say is It's pretty crazy. It's got maximum eek! factor for maximum cheap thrills.

By far the weak point of the movie was rapper 3G as himself. Actually, most of the acting was pretty weak. That, and some of the dialogue was pretty sexist.

Left Turn, I notice you have Phil Ochs on your playlist (is that what it is in your sig line?). What a songsmith he was ...

It's not a movie this time, and whoever wrote the article for CBC seemed to be having a lot of fun with it. Yikes, I wouldn't want to be the pilot.

The pilot is lucky that it wasn't any of my feline wards, they whine and insist on driving. Dogs wouldn't be a problem, they jsut want their heads in a breeze. <g>

One of my dogs likes to drive. Sometimes I let him, too...just in an empty field though. Of course he still managed to hit a tree and break my signal light.

Seems like the right thread ... a poor ole' python has been subjected to 132 hours of MRIs to see how it digested a rat. Kind of neat, in a gruesome way.
