That was beautiful. I think I saw Sam whip a man with a snake. And did a big boa fall out of an overheard glass bin or something? Crazy. It does seem like there is going to be a lot of screaming and running around in this film. I predict it makes millions upon millions, unleashing copycats for years. And that will be a great great thing.

i just hope it stays under the mainstream radar (unlikely) until august. then, it will have a record-breaking opening and no one will know why.

except those of us on the internet.

please kill me.

oh please. samuel L was on np freaking r and discussed the movie. it's not such a big secret.

you're right -- thanks to NPR, at least 5 people now know.

by the way, did the NPR host say something to the effect of "hey, listeners, aren't you psyched we have a black dude on our station? he's really black!"

the npr system should be abolished.

ps, i said mainstream media -- not pseudo-intellectual white-guilt anti-israel media.

Now about this movie: I've seen it referred to here quite a few times of course, and I thought better not to ask any questions. But having watched the trailer, there's one big question I just can't hold back- is it really a movie about snakes... on a plane?

No, no it's not.

It seems that the filmmakers have followed the lesson of Jaws and rather wowing us with tons of shots of snakes, they have let our imaginations do the work for them. The few snakes they do show look very realistic.

Good, 'cause that would be ridiculous.

oh, it's ridiculous, alright.

i think it would be amazing if it were actually a serious indy drama that happened to have some metaphor about snakes on a plane, and we were all being had. just like the squid and the whale.

NO FUCKING SQUID.

NO FUCKING WHALE.

uh, j, did you make it to the end of said film? cuz, there was a whale. maybe you missed it - it was writhing among the tentacles of the giant squid.

(yeah, that occurred to me after i made the joke.)

I fucking love that trailer. There is spit on my computer. Half drooling half laughing-Spitting everywhere.

I love the dude in the pink shirt. He makes the best fucking face. How could I put up with this movie for 90 minutes. I imagine that the expostion is relatively snake free, but once there are snakes how will I breathe?

We got some great Snakes on a Plane shirts you might like at Scary Lion.com.

omg i cant wait to get ripped out of my mind watch and sam kick some snake ass. Ill be so ripped ill forget the movie and have to watch it a second time. I love you snakes on a plane the only question i got is why hasent a movie like you come out before?
