www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/My only questions are: how did we, as the Movie Mark audience, miss this, and why isn't this a Movie Mark Original? Fans of this movie (pre-fans?) hae even created t-shirts and websites. (just Google "snakes on a plane" and "shirts") Gonna be a great summer!

Wow. I clicked on the link eager to see which washed up actor had stooped to this low. I figured it must be a C. Thomas Howell movie since Laslo was tracking it. Imagine my shock when I saw Samuel L. Jackson's name. Does this guy have a major gambling problem?
The main reason this isn't a Movie Mark Original is because a movie with this bad of a title doesn't qualify. If they were trying to figure out a way to tell the audience, "Hey, this is a very bad, very generic film," then this is the perfect title to use.
What's next? Spiders in a Car? Roaches on a Bus? Perhaps we can put together a petition to rename Lou Diamond Phillips' Alien Express to Aliens on a Train.

Roaches on a Bus Now there's a movie I'd like to see!
While we're at it, how 'bout these?
Rats on a Subway --could be a documentary about New York City Leeches in a Cab --and you thought traffic in YOUR city sucked! Tsetse Flies on Disco Rollerskates --malaria has never been so groovy! Gorillas in the Mist --oh wait...wasn't this that movie with Robin Williams and Lee Majors in a steam room?
Someone stop me...

Gorillas in the Mist --oh wait...wasn't this that movie with Robin Williams and Lee Majors in a steam room? Ed Asner had a cameo in that one.

This just in: fan reaction to this film has caused Samuel L. and Co. to go back and shoot some additional footage for the film. The hope is to take it from a PG or PG-13 to a respectable R rating. Let's face it: a movie like this DESERVES the worst rating it can get!
Meanwhile, this was overheard at Samuel L. Jackson's agent's office:
"Mr. Jackson? A contract has arrived from a Mr. B. Elzebub...would you care to sign it now or later?"

I have to admit that I'm baffled by the huge buzz surrounding this one. Have you seen the trailer? Yes, it looks entertaining - but in a so-bad-it's-funny kind of way.
Samuel L. is clearly headed for B-movie hero status, akin to Bruce Campbell I suppose.

I'm on the bandwagon with this one, especially after seeing the hilarious trailer. Let's face it, we cheesy action film fans have been screwed over since 1997's Con Air, so a mid-August B-grade piece of absurdity is what I'm yearning for! I intend to drink before and during the screening.
Plus (and feel free to laugh uncontrollably at me), if the movie is a success it may actually usher in a new way of thinking: giving the fans what they want! What was the last film to go back and reshoot for an R rating and work in the line "I want these motherforkin' snakes off this motherforkin' plane!" just because the fans want it? That rules in my book.
