Lots of chatter going around about Samuel Jackson's career suicide mission where he will play the lead character in the upcoming B-movie, Snakes on the Plane. Oh, yeah.
I loved the underground t-shirt when it first appeared but it was always missing something. Last night it occurred to me what was needed to make it one-higher.
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
Ain't you never seen none of my movies!!!!!!
dude - where is the cafe press link?
Carrer suicide? CAREER SUICIDE? It's SNAKES! On a PLANE! SAMUEL JACKSON! It's the perfect movie formula.
Classic.
Snakes, check.
Plane, check.
Sam Jackson, check.
Hot flight attendant that Sam Jackson scores with in the end, most likely.
What's not to like? I think its the title that makes it so cheesy. So what if all movies had titles that accurately described the plot?
Scarface = Cuban Drug Mafia with Lots of Blood
Rent = Kids with Problems Dance & Sing
Battlefield Earth = Big Waste of Money
And that, sir, is your new start-up.
Hell, I'd buy it.
Brilliant! "Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish Prison?"
"And don't call me Shirley."
"All right, get me Hamm on five; hold the Mayo."
Love it!
I predict Snakes on a Plane is the top grossing film its opening weekend, based solely on Internet buzz.
I thought that trailer was a joke when I saw it earlier this week. It is a joke, right? A plane full of snakes? Where could that story go?
Nope. It's really happening. I have no idea where a story like this goes except that you know it's going to have a sequel.
Awesome, off the IMDB page:
Samuel L. Jackson only signed on for this film because the title was "Snakes on a Plane". When the film makers tried to change it to "Flight 121", Jackson was adamant to keep it "Snakes on a Plane".
I agree Snakes on a Plane is better than Flight 121. The plot outline kills me though:
On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, lets loose a crate full of deadly snakes.
Who is this assasin. Wouldn't a knife or gun used when the guy is getting into taxi be ore effective. Or poison dart shot into his ass. Something has got to be more effective than a crate of snakes... on a plane.
Can someone please translate the hype for those of us who are outside the loop here.. I mean I've HEARD of this but... nope.. still don't really GET it... is it because I'm Scottish???? (that's a JOKE (is it still a joke if I'm worried enough about it to point out that fact? (will I ever escape these parenthesis!))).
snakes in your pants..... now that would be a movie to see. Will skip SOAP. Whew...
Snakes on a Plane. This is ri-gosh-darn-diculous. I can't believe a movie like this is being released. Ironically it'll probably be the sleeper hit of the year. Watching the trailer though, it was horrifying just how bat it looked. Poor actors holding (faking holding) CGI snakes, which by the way looked completely fake in every way. Remember that movie Anaconda with Ice Cube? Yeah, they look worse than that. Somehow the collective movie-goers trust Sam L...all I know is this movie looks 1 day shy of rotten garbage.
Oh shit man. I would so buy THAT shirt.
"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
How does the assassin plan on not getting bitten by the snakes?
How does the assassin plan on not getting bitten by the snakes?
Because s/he will have been given small doses of snake venom from every poisonous snake on the planet until they have built up a tolerance. Hm, I'm surprised you didn't know that, it's the oldest trick in the snake assassin book.
Great shirt! And I can't help but laugh every time I hear the title of that movie.
You mean the assassin would've spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder, er, snake venom?
I can't believe I'm the first one to get to say this:
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit reading Airbag.
Totally made my day, Greg.
My God, that's beautiful. Thank you so much.
Haha, Amazing Tee Greg, Think about the CafeExpress dealy. This movie leaves me speechless. Heres an idea, what if the assassin is Samuel Jackson, just that he forgot to get off the plane AND is pissed off with the snakes ;)
Crap like this p's me off. They could of gave that money to make the silly movie to some hurricane katrina victims or some poor students trying to go to college. But Sam always has and always will be about the money. He said on leno that in Hollywood, you latest movie can very well be your last movie. I don't got gripes with the man. Just with the studio, director, and the writers who thought this dumbsh** up.
It's called intentionally campy. Has no one here seen Tremors? Buckaroo Banzai? Leprechaun? Anaconda?
I'm old.
Funny! I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. It has snakes... and they're on a plane! Madness! :)
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."
Career suicide? I think not.
Gingerdead Man, now THAT's career suicide.
Its odd, really... the word "snakes" has now become synonymous with anything awkward/bad/whatever at my school.
"Dude, that's snakes!" is the new "cool".
Every day you learn something new about yourself.
Today I learned that I would buy a shirt about snakes on a plane if I could.
Or to put it another way, I would fritter away my hard earned money on an inside joke inside an inside joke.
