I couldn't find the original thread, so meh - either it didn't exist or it'll be linked by a mod closing this thread, so it's not my problem.
Trailer available here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=CSudn9n0d_k). It looks pretty cool actually.
-
wow, I think I might actually see that movie now.
-
Lightsabers make any movie 39.668% cooler.
-
Ok, I'm obviously the only person on the internet who doesn't understand where the whole "Snakes on a Plane" joke came from. Will someone please explain what the heck it all means?
-
It's a real movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/
"On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, let loose a crate full of deadly snakes. "
Not sure if it's a comedy or not but Sam Jackson was quite adamant about the title being Snakes on a Plane according to IMDB.
-
Yeah, I read an interview with him. They changed the title after the first round of mockery on the Internet. Then Jackson got pissed, saying that the title was the only reason he signed on.
And he's right. I refuse to watch any trailers or anything. That title has me sold. I'm going to see that movie 100% on the fact that it's a Samuel Jackson movie called Snakes on a Plane.

Check out the novelization on Amazon...

-
For some reason, I think this is a novelization that I will pass on.
-
CNN had an article on the movie yesterday. The last two paragraphs are very funny.

Samuel L Jackson talking about the movie. I really can't wait for this movie now.
-
A real trailer for it: http://www.tagworld.com/snakesonaplane
You have to love the line "Enough is enough--I've had it with snakes."
-
Now SOAP can add the tagline "Inspired by a true story"

Ahh! They totally missed the boat on this one. Think about it, it's not close enough to home, or to our families and children. I think they may have had a better chance with:
"Runaway deadly poison arrow frogs on one of those tiny fake submarines at Disneyland, and the automaton captain who loved them."
Seriously, "Snakes on a plane" sounds like watching a "B" movie called "Some bugs in a jar".
I think I will pass.
We'll see if it turns out to be better than it's title. I will wait for someone's review on the matter.
(out of curiousity, why does this thread have a ridiculously high number of views?)
-
Snakes on a mother****ing plane man!
That's why.
-
Hahaha, well, I guess if the number of views here is anything to what they can expect in the box office, they'll do just dandy.
-
This movie has had a larger grassroots fan campaign, more than a year in advance of its release, than probably any movie other than LotR. I honestly don't think they're worried about it tanking.
-
I am not going to see the movie (well, maybe if it's someday shown edited on network television, but I reserve the right to change the channel if I get squeamish), but to me the title has a large amount of honest appeal to it. I have to respect Samuel L. Jackson's desire to do a movie that is absolutely unpretentious.
-
I was going to go see this movie until the re-filmed parts to make it R since fans on the net were wanting violence and Sam Jackson saying the F-bomb every 5 seconds. Can't blame paramount for that either, if you find a huge web community talking about your movie a year before it comes out and can read what people are hoping for you'd be dumb not to change some things to meet their expectations.
-
I'm still totally going to see it.
SNAKES ON A PLANE!
SNAKES ON A PLANE!
how can you *not* love something that dumb. I mean, to say it sounds B-movie is to state the obvious in such a way that it demeans both yourself and everyone who hears you. The title needs no explication. And it's obvious that the film isn't trying to be anything more.
-
Wait.....You flip out over the abbreviation of W T F being used on the forum yet are going to go see a movie that will use the F word like 500 times? Ok. ::)
-
He's been desensitized to those things now. Now he only feels that endless void.
-
I don't *moderate* Snakes on a Plane.
-
No one moderates snakes on a plane, it isnt having any of it.
-

Isn't that how the snakes got on the plane in the first place?
-
pre-boarding security doesn't count as moderation
-
This is so cool on so many levels: the movie studio making Snakes on a Plane held a contest for garage bands to submit songs for the movie. The winner and first runner up both get into the actual soundtrack of the movie. You can listen to the winners here (one F-bomb warning for Captain Ahab), and they're actually pretty good: http://www.tagworld.com/snakesonaplane
-
You got to love how New Line is handling this movie, its getting all this buzz from fans so they're getting as many people involved as possible.
-
It just shows how COOL people are at new line, yeh its has the ****est title since HERBIE, but it looks like a kickass movie.
SNAKES ON A PLANE
-
Here's a video (http://www.greyday.net/Sam_Blog.mov) of Samuel L. Jackson's panel at comicon. The questions are hard to hear without the volume way up, but Sam comes through good.
-
/me sees a new trailer for Snakes on a Plane ....
Wha--? This movie is rated R?! Oh bruh-ther. :P
-
How did you not already know it was rated R?
-
Well, I either skipped over any discussion of it on the boards or it slipped my mind. I mean, it just didn't seem like it was gonna warrant an R rating is all.
-
well, it didn't, until they succumbed to the IntarWebs' demands and added more sex, language, and violence.
-
Mmm, sex swearing and bloodshed. :D
-
How did you not already know it was rated R?
Well, then don't be all sassy about me not knowing if it wasn't R in the first place. *hmph*
-
well, it's been R for quite some time. Many months.
-
This is what, the first time the film makers have gone back and added additional content to up the rating to R? Yeah, I believe so. It's freaking amazing what the internet can do.
-
I'd say freakin' *annoying* in this case....
-
I think I hear the waaaaaaaaaaahmbulance.
-
yeah, it's coming for you. It knows there won't be much life left in you once I'm through with your sorry, snake-loving self.
-
oo! Threats from a whiny girl! I'm so scared!
-
I don't whine. I observe. I analyze. I critique. If you can't take the heat...
-
I have 4 daughters. I know what a whine is.
-
What, I can't complain that a movie has needless sex, violence, and language put in because a bunch of idiots with no imagination lobbied for it online?
-
no.
-
Some of us happen to have needless sex, violence and swearing quotas to fill, you know.
Think of others, for once!
-
Oh my! How unpardonably uncharitable of me. *sigh* I shall protest no longer.
-
If there's a quota, doesn't that make it non-needless?
The Snakes on a Plane display (right next to our booth) at Comic-Con was awesome. So awesome that people would just walk straight through our booth with their eyes fixed steadily on it and their mouths saying "snakes on a plane!!"
-
It comes out here on thursday. A film outing is being arranged as word of it's fame has spread. We must see it!
And most quotas are needless, last time I checked.
-
As of 4:00 today, 90% of the people in the office have left work to see the movie.
-
This movie brought a tear to my eye. I shall review it on the morrow. for now, good night.
-
A tear of pleasure or pain?
I guess we'll find out in the review.
