Snakes On A Plane

[sickness]

You know, everytime I think about that title, say it or type it, I get a shit-eating grin on my face because it's so cheesy it's funny.

We didn't have a topic on it so I thought I'd start one. Here it is.

I'll start it with some news I heard from a coworker who is also following the production of this movie:

Allegedly, they returned to the set recently to do reshoots. There were two purposes for these reshoots: 1) to make it a hard-R movie and 2) to have Sam Jackson say "There are motherf*cking snakes on this plane!" How could you let a moment like that slide by during main production?? If they do any more reshoots, I'd like to hear "yes, those snakes deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!"

[Magell]

This movies looks bad but I really need to see it to hear Sam say that line. I can imagine it in my head and it sounds awesome.

[DaForce]

Sorry, but this looks like a really bad made for SciFi channel movie.

You know I for one don’t understand why you people are bashing this movie already. I am really glad someone is making a film like this. Seriously, I think it is an awesome idea and it should have been done long ago. And with Sam Jackson in it I think it has a lot of potential to be a big movie. I for one LOVE snacks on a plane, who in their right mind doesn’t? Those little bags of peanuts or pretzels and those small cans of Coke…..

Wait…you said Snakes?

WTF? What crack smoking kerosene guzzling c0ck wh0re would make a movie about snakes on a plane.

Geez…Hollywood.

Are you kidding me, Daf? The thing that has me psyched about this movie is how cheesy it looks! If they played it seriously, I'll be disappointed. If they play it tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top, I'll be ecstatic.

[Son of Gilbert]

Sam's having to pay up for being in Star Wars, but who would have thought it was going to be THIS bad.

[KingVoyeur]

Looks like things are looking up for "Snakes"...

Jackson's Snake Film Creates Huge Buzz

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.

[neglet]

more nudity and more snakes...

This is going to be the film of the century! :eek:

[Magell]

Nudity, gore, and swearing. This movie could be better than I'm expecting. Actually I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of those movies that is so bad it's good.

[Son of Gilbert]

This movie looks, sounds and feels soooo bad I bet it makes more than MI-3

Poster!!!!!!

Snakes on a motherf***in Plane ya'll!!!!!! :jump2:

[Penfold]

A big, dumb movie every now and then is not necessarily a bad thing. A big, dumb movie that pretends not to be an important film is what ticks me off. So, seeing as SOAP (hey, interesting initials) is revelling in its B-movie status, I say go for it.

[Sgt. Awesome]

I have that poster sitting beside me for HOURS a day. It's so awesome. And wolvies claws behind me... so much cool...

[Jakester]

We got snakes on da muthafuckin' plane!

[Bill_the_Pony]

Oh, my God....I've been ignoring this thread for awhile, then Fuloydo at Exclesior calls me and tells me about it. I had to see the trailer, and I haven't laughed so hard at such garbage! :lol:

This is like something they peddled as double feature drive in stuff in the 70's. All with a straight face and promises of violence, nudity....

Okay, Showgirls! You got some muthaf****n' competition!

[Bill_the_Pony]

found this poster online today. :D

I will pretend this does not exist 1
I rather watch paint dry than this piece of crap!
Anaconda was a masterpiece, compared to this tripe:romy:

[Bill_the_Pony]

That's nice. Say hi to the paint for me. :)

As bad as the concept of "Snakes on a Plane," sounds, I've learned that without seeing the film any opinion I may have has no relevance.

I do, admittedly, fully expect this film to be a less enjoyable experience than wading through the septic tank from a Jawa/Sand People orgy that featured golden showers, performance art disguised as projectile vomiting, and hor d'oeurves made from Bantha feces and bits of ground up Ewoks.

[Bill_the_Pony]

The concept may be funnier than the actual movie, which is the case with things like this, but for now, it's a hoot.

Movies like this walk a very fine line to be enjoyable as camp, and if they are "winking" at the audience at all, then it won't work.

They didn't wink at the audience with Anaconda, and that one was as funny as Showgirls.

[Jakester]

I have so much love for this movie, when the titles appear on screen, I'm gonna jizz all over the seat next to me.

Dude, I just blew spit all over my monitor!!!

[omicron]

I have to agree, I think this movie is going to be bad. Nothing about it make we want to see it. It just seems to be hyped based on SLJ's over the top movie performances, with no real meat behind it.

Omi

[Jakester]

Man, if you can't get yo' muthafuckin' head around muthafuckin' snakes on da muthafuckin' plane, then you just bettah shut yo' mouth and not even fuckin' talk about SHAFT muthafucka'.

It's fuckin' snakes ... on a plane. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT?! There will be swearing, boobies, and fucking SNAKES...on a muthafuckin' plane. THAT'S IT!! And, by God, isn't it enough?!

[Asonokirk V 2.0]

Dude, I just blew spit all over my monitor!!!

It is pretty funny, isn't it? I'm still laughing . . . :jump2:

[Metuzalem]

Guy's I'm freaking out about how much I wanna see this, I would even go with Jakester :wink:
The trailer we got over here was amazing, just a load of script on the screen saying what all the blockbusters in the cinema will have this summer "huge action stars", "cracking codes", etc. Then it just says "but there's one thing they won't have"

SNAKES
ON
A
PLANE!

Roll on August 18th :D

[Jakester]

Thanks, Tuz. I'd even let ya grab my ass.

[Metuzalem]

Only if I got a reacharound :D

[Sgt. Awesome]

Would you sit beside him though?

[Jakester]

The early review is great. I'm jizzed to see it even more now. I'll have Tuz on my left and Awesome on my right. And a Natalie in my lap.

[Metuzalem]

"A Natalie"? You mean a totally non-specific one? Like any Natalie will do? If that's the case, make it of the Portman variety. :wink:

[Sgt. Awesome]

I guess she'll block all the jizz from us.

[Jakester]

Portman, our Natalie...either is awesome.

[Metuzalem]

Our Natalie? I like it, it implies we own her ass. Time to get her to make us some money. You should check her myspace, I posted a photo comment in a vein that you would truly appreciate.

[DaForce]

I keep forgetting to post this. It's been sitting on my desktop for a few weeks now. It's Sam Jackson at Comic Con (http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/stevestao/?action=view&current=snakes-in-hell.flv).

Enjoy.

[Sgt. Awesome]

Well... it comes out in 9 hours from where I'm sitting...

[Jakester]

There are 10pm showings 'round these parts, but I"m gonna wait 'til Monday to see it with a work buddy.

[Metuzalem]

Went to see it on opening day last night. I woke up this morning in the hospital. It turns out I now have Stendal (spelling?) Syndrome.

(For those who don't know, that's the one where you faint when you see a fabulous piece of artwork or hear an exquisite concerto)

This film was every bit as stupid as I hoped it would be, I was not dissappointed at all. Oh and Jake? My friend Betty would like to talk to you:

Tuz, I love that muthafuckin' shirt.
Go to fatboy's site and check his review. There's a pic of Badass Ale. It's hysterical.

[Metuzalem]

Does he mention all the ridiculous product placement? :lol:

If you want the shirt (or six freakin' hundred similar ones) head on over to www.cafepress.com

Here is my review that posted at my site:

Sure, it's an uncoventional way to begin a movie review, by using 'emoticons'. But this is an unconventional film. The internet fueled hype surrounding 'Pacific Air Flight 121' (working title) has touched down at a multi-plex near you, with the best release title so far this year.

What's the story about? O.K. genius, here goes.

After witnessing the brutal execution of a Govenment prosecutor in Hawaii which was committed by crimelord Eddie Kim (Byron Lawson ~ 'Romeo Must Die'), motorcycle riding surfboard dude Sean Jones (Nathan Phillips ~ 'Wolf Creek') becomes a marked man, due to be 'whacked' by Kim's henchmen.

In the nick of time 'surfer dude' is saved by FBI agent Nelville Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson ~ 'Shaft', 'Unbreakable') and is placed into protective custody. Jones is persuaded (or coerced) into testifying against Kim.

Agent Flynn along with his partner Agent John Saunders (Mark Houghton ~ 'New BSG', 'SG-1') are assigned to escort their witness from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify for the prosecution in the high profile case.

Agents Flynn and Saunders commandeer the first-class section of the mainland bound flight in order to protect their witness, as all of the rest of the ticketed passengers are reassigned to 'coach' seating status.

Mobster boss Kim has arranged for certain cargo to be placed onto the California bound flight. A time-delay release crate, which will open before the plane's 'point-of-no-return' and liberate almost 500 deadly snakes onboard, in the hope of either killing the witness or bringing down the entire plane. The venomous snakes have been enraged by 'pheremones' which coincidentally were infused into, and pervade the Hawaiian 'leis' that most of the passengers are wearing upon their departure from the 'Big Island'.

It does not take long after their dispensation that the snakes are literally everywhere inside the plane.

In the aisles, in the lavatory (Mile-high clubbers beware!), in the overhead storage, in the oxygen masks, in the barf bags, in the cockpit and in the beverage cart (oh God, no, not the beverage cart)!

And the serpents. All varieties. Each one big or little. All hissing, coiling, rattling, slithering, biting, spitting or squeezing someone or something as we watch dozens of people jump, yell, scream, flinch, jerk, foam, convulse, bleed and die.

The movie does not pretend to be something it is not intended to be. It is an audience participation, yell-at-the-screen, popcorn-munching, summertime 'thrill-fest', and director David R. Ellis succeeds precisely.

The ensemble cast is huge, causing the viewer to ask oneself "Who is that guy? Where have I seen her before? What was that person in?".

There's intrepid and determined flight attendant Claire (Julianna Marguiles ~ TV's 'Scrubs', TV's 'The Sopranos') and an hilarious and heroic Troy (Kenan Thompson ~ 'Saturday Night Live') taking his spin as a bodyguard to self absorbed rap artist 'Three G's' (Flex Alexander ~ 'She's All That'), who in turn is trying to score with lovely young socialite Mercedes (Rachel Blanchard) while trying to avoid physical contact with everyone, including her 'carry-on' dog, Mary-Kate. (Don't ask about what happens to the puppy). That just names a few of the colorful characters involved in this story.

Even with the good supporting cast, this film is all about Jackson. Spouting such lines of dialogue as "You know all those Goddamn security scenarios we ran, well...", "Sporks!?" and the soon to be infamous "Enough is enough! I've had it with these muthaf****n' snakes on this muthaf****n' plane!" No one throws an expletive on screen with such savoir faire as the man. Even while 'broke-bottle stabbing, safety axe chopping, fire extingushing and stun-gunning' his way through a cabin full of deadly serpents on the way to completing his characters' mission. And all the time looking-good in a smooth, black leather jacket.

Rating: A strong 3 1/2 'Snakes on Crack' out of 5

Just bad enough a film to be really good, but not really good enough to be awesome. Sure, the whole thing is preposterous, but, if your willing to have a raucous, sit in the dark, squirm in your seat in an 'air-conditioned' auditorium good time but don't want to go by yourself... call me. I'll buy a ticket along with you and board this flight again.

[Magell]

I was surprised how good this movie was. I went in expecting something so bad it would be brilliant but it was actually a well written movie beyond the crazy premise. Samuel Jackson was himself in this movie which I enjoyed a lot. The biggest problem with this movie is that more of the secondary characters who you get to know should have died because while you like them they don't need to survive to make the movie satisfying.

[Sgt. Awesome]

Yeah... I just saw it. I plan to go again next week... that movie was... just... Awesome.

[neglet]

I don't normally see this type of flick, but Neg Jr. was dying to see it. "Mom--it's SNAKES. On a PLANE!" Plus, we love SLJ. He's the best thing about the movie, of course. (Well, maybe except for the line, "get this fucking snake off my dick!") The snakes were a bit over the top, but since the whole thing turned into a cheesy disaster scenario (will the plane crash?) we were as happy as pigs in shit. We love cheesy goodness! I think once was enough, though, we won't be getting this on DVD.

[Sgt. Awesome]

Speaking of Sam Jackson being the best thing... the opening credits, his name was before the title, and in a bigger font.

When he shot the mobsters coming to kill the guy, did anyone else notice that they both went down clutching their crotches?

[neglet]

Yup, that's why you don't F with SLJ. Anyone see him on Monday's Daily Show, as a "witness" in their story "could SoaP happen here?" It was filled with so many beeps, you almost couldn't hear him talking. Funny shit.

[Sgt. Awesome]

I saw his interview with Jon Stewart, but I missed Monday's episode.

[Magell]

I'm pretty sure Youtube has clips of both of those things. I know for sure it has the interview with Stewart which is hilarious. I only saw the part after they showed the movie clip.

[DarkJedi]

Well, I watched this movie tonight and...

This movie just fucking rocked. Alot more serious then I thought it was going to be.

Seriously, it fuckin rocked. I think there should be shrines built in SOAP's honor. :D

[Mobile Vulgus]

HEY... I thought they stopped serving snacks on a plane?

[Jakester]

I saw this over the weekend. Really good movie, and Negs, I loved that scene more than the snake on the tit.
Jackson definitely is THE MAN!
