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.

Snakes on a plane!

Post by Obfleur » Thu Sep 29, 2005 12:13 pm

Best First mentioned 'the episode 3 thread' in.. I dont remember which thread it was.
This made me read the thread - and then I went to Episode 3's page on IMDB.
From there I traveled to Samuel Jacksons page.
And discovered this.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/

The most amazing title ever.

Genius!

Like "Boa vs Python" but without the mystery.

Am I alone in thinking that it should actually be written "Snakes. On a plane!"
Grrr. Argh.

Oh. Boa VS Python. Crap or Pure art? I can't decide.

"Snakes. On a plane!"
I think the exclamation mark makes it look like a comedy (I'm sure the movie'll be fun as hell, but it's actually a horror movie, about snakes on a plane).

Hmm, I figured that after all the big and scary animals gets used up to being cliche (sharks,crocs, lions, elephants) and the swarm gets over-done (spiders, bees,ants) producers will start with other animals.

"Terror on the ice"

2006

Crash-landed on the Antarctica, a family must survive the assaults of the bloodthirsty penguins until help arrives. But the penguins have a far greater, more sinister plan...

I remember hearing that the director wanted to make that movie with that title but I'm shocked that it's actually coming out!

It's a Puppet! Or, at least, a puppeteer. No CGI, then? :D

And Bruce James (whoever he is) plays Ken. Twice. :eek:

Man, I hope we get to see Sam Jackson punch a snake in the face.

******* snakes.

Oh yeah.

You guys might like this then:

edit

censor is stopping the direct link working, I think (there are sweary words in it).
Go here:
http://hucksblog.blogspot.com/

Then find the entry for August 17.

It is called 'Snakes on a mother-******* plane'.

It is totally airwolf:
Now out of both loyalty to the sacred bond between studio and screenwriter and also a serious desire to keep getting hired in this town, I will not give away any of the plot details of SNAKES ON A PLANE. But know this. As the great Sam Jackson would say: There are ************** snakes on the ************** plane.

What else do you need to know? How the snakes get on the plane, what the snakes do once they're on the plane, who puts the snakes on the plane, who is trying to get the snakes off the plane...This is not for you to ponder. There are snakes on the plane. End of ******* story.

In fact, during the two or three days that precedes my phone call with the studio, I become obsessed with the concept. Not as a movie. But as a sort of philosophy. Somnewhere in between "Cest la vie", "Whattya gonna do?" and "**** happens" falls my new zen koan "Snakes on a Plane".

WIFE: "Honey you stepped in dog poop again. "
ME: "Snakes on a Plane..."
DOCTOR: "Your cholesterol is 290. Perhaps you want to mix in a walk once in a while."
ME: "Snakes on a Plane..."

i thought so. :lurk:

Mob, that is class.

I'm hoping that after having a quasi-religous experience (On a plane!) Samuel L will give the snakes the money out of his wallet so they can start a new life whilst making it very clear he could kill their spineless snake asses if he so wished (ON a plane!).

"Hiss again. HISS AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, *************. Hiss one more goddamn time."

This movie is gonna rule.
I love the premise "I wanna assasinate some dude on a plane. So I'll just release a bunch of Snakes on a plane - which'll probably lead to a bunch of random people getting killed, since the snakes on the plane wont know who I want them to kill".

getting the snakes loose on the plane is going to be one of the most hilariously contrived things ever.

i think they should combine this idea with a sequel to Airforce One, but this time Samuel L should be the mother****ing predident. on a plane.

Air Force One 2: Snakes On A Plane.

i think its catchy.

Why does A-List talent bother with F-Grade movies?

Oh yeah, the money.

Nevermind.

But see, they are propably highly trained assassin snakes!

(They could have used assassin bugs.,.. :eyebrow: )

Frankly, snakes one a plane? What then? Except for some mambas, snakes don't attack people unless provoked.

Cool. I'm going to start soon. I'm getting kinda bored with using Airwolf as an adjective.

F-Grade movies?
But J, mate...snakes on a plane. Hopefully with an exclamation mark to be added.

If Sam Jackson is in the movie, they'll have to add at least three exclamation marks.
"Snakes on the mother ****** plane, mother ******!"

Gets me thinking of the Dave Chappel parody :D
