Snakes on a plane!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Newspaper from the year 2006:

The fresh, sophisticated, and classic masterpiece, Snakes on a Plane, has become the world's most famous and highly-rated film, with its many remarkable scenes and performances, cinematic and narrative techniques and experimental innovations (in photography, editing, and sound). Its director and producer were all the same genius individual - David R. Ellis with Sebastian Guitirezz as his talented author and Samuel L. Jackson as his shining star. Ellis's directorial genius will exert a profound influence on film for generations to come.

The film begins with Jackson's character exiting his plane full of snakes after a long and harrowing flight. What is revealed has been described by psychologist Jorge Luis Borges, as a "metaphysical detective story. [Its] subject (both psychological and allegorical) is the investigation of a man's inner self, through the works he has wrought, the words he has spoken, the many lives he has ruined by putting m*****f****** snakes on planes... Overwhelmingly, endlessly, Ellis shows fragments of the life of the man, the man with snakes on his plane, and invites us to combine them and reconstruct him. At the end we realize that the fragments are not governed by a secret unity, and the snakes on the plane are a symbol of man's own internal chaos."

The film combines revolutionary cinematography with an Oscar-winning screenplay, and a lineup of first time silverscreen actors, associates of Mr. Ellis' from his stint at the Mercury Theater, such as Adam Behr and Flex Alexander. The film also became the first to ever break the 11-Oscar record, and became the winner of an entirely new Oscar category: Best Use of G******** Snakes on a G******* Plane.

OMG!! I just clicked it! What the heck's she doing in that video?? :eek: Judging from her poses and such she must have heard about the Snakes on a Plane phenomenon on the net and decided to have some fun with it too! Whoop! All of a sudden this fresh band has a guest-singer! :eek:

Dog-gone... her style is so different I hardly recognised her...

I kept on hoping this was all a bad internet joke.

Then I went to the cinema on Wednesday and saw the trailer. :(

I doubt anyone will get any awards with this movie.

We had the trailer for it during Superman. Afterwards we got to talking about potential sequels for both films ("Snakes on a Submarine!" "Snakes on a Stagecoach!" etc) before we decided they should combine both franchises with Superman Vs. Snakes On The Moon.

The only movies I could find with snakes and lesbian nuns in tended to only feature the trouser snake. :sad:

You mean it really was made? I thought once the whole internet made laughing stock of the movie's plot, they were gonna cancel it....


If this is going to be callled a blockbuster movie and critics are going to praise it... I'm officially giving up all hopes for humanity.

Umm...Is there a trailer online?

Wooo, I saw it yesterday.
Worth every penny. Not because it's a good movie (it's not), but because it was just pure fun entertainment :)

I saw it with a bunch of friends, and we all had a really good time laughing at all the crazy **** that went on.

Don't know how fun it'll be if you watch it by yourself though.



SPOILERS



My favourite scene was when Samuels partner first discovered the snakes - and Samuel runs down to him, grabs a snake and sort of throws it away, with a whipping motion.
Pure awesomeness :D
