On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, let loose a crate full of deadly snakes.

Starring Samuel L. Jackson.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 6 October 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

WAIT - THIS MOVIE IS ACTUALLY CALLED "SNAKES ON A PLANE"!?!?!?!?

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

yes.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

Jackson fought the studio to keep the name. WITH HIS BARE HANDS.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

It's the future - you don't actually have to see the movie, because the TITLE is the ENTIRE PLOT.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

i cant wait to see this movie.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

WHY DO YOU NEED TO SEE IT? THERE ARE SNAKES...ON A PLANE! YOU HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED THE WHOLE MOVIE FOR FREE!

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

just cause they give away the whole plot in the title doesnt mean i cant go waste my money on seeing it. in fact, i need to see it because of this very reason.

anyway:

N/a, please!

What about 12 Angry Men or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Are those titles any less, I don't know, OBVIOUS than Snakes on a Plane?
I mean, it doesn't even tell what kind of snakes or what kind of plane!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:11 (twenty years ago)

TITLE is the ENTIRE PLOT.

concept/plot as title:

40 Year Old Virgin
Wedding Crashers
etc

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:20 (twenty years ago)

Unless the snakes are the same size as the one that tried to swallow that alligator in that news reort in the other thread, this film is going to be very very boring.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 6 October 2005 20:29 (twenty years ago)

Unless the snakes highjack the plane & force Samuel L Johnston to be their ssssex sssslave. That could be interesting.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

just cause they give away the whole plot in the title doesnt mean i cant go waste my money on seeing it.

Yeah, knowing the plot is totally different from seeing it. Like, "Double-Stuffed Blondes Vol. 6" -- obviously you know going in that there will be blondes, and they will be double-stuffed, but the nuances are all in the details. (Will they be natural blondes? Who will do the double-stuffing? Will the soundtrack have a lite techno beat or more of an old-school blooz groove?)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

maybe this is kind of the frution of those old 'pitch' stories, eg aliens was pitched as 'jaws in space'.

― N_RQ (Enrique), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

I am so, so scared of snakes. This kind of situation would be my worst nightmare. I will not be seeing the film.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 7 October 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

this movie can't come out soon enough!

― latebloomer: Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K. (latebloomer), Monday, 20 February 2006 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I can't wait to see Agam Narshi's undoubtedly nuanced and virtuoso performance as Ipod Girl.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 20 February 2006 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I wish other movie titles would be so straightforward about the concept, then they'd be easier to avoid (or catch). Take the movies of David Fincher, for example:

Chased by Pumpkins with Teeth in a Prison Makes You Existential (1992)

Life Is Hell, But You Can Make Some Sense to It If You're Morgan Freeman (1995)

Modern Life Is Sanitized And Boring (1997)

Modern Life Is Sanitized and Boring II: Rejecting It Can Lead to Fascism Though (1999)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 20 February 2006 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

hahahaha i disagree about the alien looking like a pumpkin! more like a banana crossed with a crustacean and a cougar.

― latebloomer: Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K. (latebloomer), Monday, 20 February 2006 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

but otherwise, those are pretty astute!

― latebloomer: Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K. (latebloomer), Monday, 20 February 2006 12:57 (nineteen years ago)

I guess you're right, pumpkin was just the first thing to spring to mind. What I actually meant to say was zucchini, but I couldn't remember the English word for it (in Finnish it's called "summer pumpkin").

everyone's seen the trailer, right? lots of snakes. lots.

― amateurist0, Friday, 17 March 2006 22:55 (nineteen years ago)

What about the plane. Are they on a plane?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 17 March 2006 23:13 (nineteen years ago)

i hope they didn't give away all the good parts in the trailer. if half the movie turns out to be exposition of how the snakes get to BE on the plane, i will be so disappointed. unless how they get there is totally amazing, like a voodoo curse or something.

UPDATE (3/17/06 at 5:08pm) ï¿½ Iï¿½ve gotten more than one phone call today from people at New Line asking me to clarify that this trailer is not the official teaser trailer for the film, it was put online merely for the songwriting contest at Tagworld. The CG is not representative of how the snakes will look in the final cut. The OFFICIAL official teaser trailer will apparently be coming out in about a month. Iï¿½ll be out of town for the remainder of the weekend, so updates will be sparse.

OK, so I went to see Snakes on a Plane tonight. I loved it. People cheered (not, as Onimo said upthread, the done thing in Glasgow cinemas) and laughed and whooped and it was silly and ridiculous and gory and a bit scary and, most of all, FUN. As my pal who loved it pointed out to my pal that didn't, it's called Snakes on a Plane, don't be expecting a Kieslowski film and you won't be disappointed.

"Snakes on crack!" made me laugh more than the MF shitfest. Also, most blatant product placement evah! "Hang on I'm just involved in an ebay auction for something totally fucking irrelevant". "Playstation or X-Box?" "Playstation 2" (subtext: Playstation 2 is fantastic as you can totally land jumbo jets against the advice of seasoned air-traffic dudes after fannying around on a flight sim for ten minutes).

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 23:21 (nineteen years ago)

Oh man, the product placement really was beautiful. "We need a camera, and a computer!" "This phone has both!"

― Doctor Casino (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

Armond's predictability is only overshadowed by his uncharacteristic restraint. I mean, I fully expected him to write about a bunch of white boys using the internet to make Jackson their own audio slave for the studio's profit.

Snakes In A... Car Theft

E-mail This Article
Printable Version

Police in Forrest City are investigating the use of snakes in a car theft.

Officers say three people carrying baby snakes walked into a convenience store Sunday and scared two employees into the back of the building, then took car keys a clerk left behind and stole her car.

The car was wrecked during a chase later.

Clerk Bethany Hatcher said she couldn't find her keys after the snake scare, and four hours later saw someone taking her car from the store's parking lot. She reported it stolen and about midnight Sunday deputies in Lee County said they were chasing the car, which had been at the scene of a grocery store break-in.

The car's driver returned to Forrest City and, when police tried to stop the car, four people jumped out and ran away. The car kept moving and struck a natural gas meter and a building before stopping in a ditch.

Four people were arrested, including a 15-year-old juvenile.

I watched Snakes On A Plane last week... ON A PLANE!

Felt kinda creepy carefully walking through the dark cabin to the lavatory afterwards, looking at all the sleeping passengers, blissfully unaware in their seats.

(Qantas was also showing the WTC. You have to love an airline that gives a little credit to the intelligence of its passengers.)
