Send a personalized message to anyone you know. I found this after receiving a call from Mr. Samuel L Jackson himself.

I haven't seen this elsewhere, so it's fine for now. But I'm hoping the conversation will stear towards the movie itself soon enough. It's coming out... when? I've seen so much hype for it on the net and now the tv ads are beginning to air.
PS Random Fact - "Snakes on a Plane" was the working title. It was cheesy and the producers wanted to change it soon, but after the internet turned the project into such a sensation, the simple cheesy name stuck
what's this movie about, anyway?

I can't say much about this movie. As I said to my friends before, it'd be very similar to "Wild boars on a train"....or was it rabbit squirrels?
If I had the chance to watch this movie, would I? Only by a slim chance.

Well, here's is a lil of the plot outline.
Plot Outline: 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.
Then Samuel L Jackson steps in to handle the situation. XD

Meh, alot ppl talk bout movies coming out. Doesnt really mean you'll like it. I heard people talking bout Posieden and when I went to watch it, I thought it was stupid.
I wouldnt watch another snake movie, I got tired of them. 
Edit: Nvm. ^^;;;

haha, ok... so there IS somewhat of a plot. It sounds wicked campy based on what I've heard so far, but it looks like it could be decent. Now I'm intrigued... of course, I hate snakes though ::shivers::

Yes, how they remain hidden til they get the perfect moment when you are off guard then....
They ATTACK YOU!!!
With their fangs prepared to inject venom to paralyze you and then eat you whole and slowly digest you while you're paralyzed inside the beast's belly. 
*snaps out of it*
Whoa... why did I say that? 
Hope that doesnt give you nightmares. ^^;;.
Anaconda was a good snake movie to me, unlike the other ones.

funny how this has come up since my friend who had just moved to Texas (from Massachusetts, where I am) called me this evening to tell me that she was walking through her garage in the dark (the lightbulb burnt out) and when she got across the room to get to the other light-switch, she saw that there was a huge 3.5 foot snake in the middle of the room. She screamed and ran... guess the snake missed his flight. I guess she told me cause I had been ragging on her for moving away from me and I kept saying, "fine, move away to texas, you know all they got down there is giant insects and snakes everywhere!!"
Of course, I like what Conan said... apparently there are gonna be sequels: "Tarantulas on a Hovercraft" and "Sharks on a Tractor"
haha, no, not seriously

it's about snakes... on a plane!
"Snakes on a Plane stars Samuel L. Jackson as an FBI agent who is escorting an eye witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles when a crimelord sets in motion the release of hundreds of deadly snakes on the commercial airplane in order to eliminate the witness before he can testify against him. The FBI agent must protect his witness while banding together with the pilot, frightened crew and passengers in a desperate attempt to survive." |

No way of knowing if this movie will actually be any good. According to Samuel Jackson, he signed on because of the title. Didn't even read the script
His interview on The Daily Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZijbpxNXII&mode=related&search=
He seems really into it though. |

LOLZ.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihAoSwQqo44
has anyone seen the movie yet? one of my friends saw it on opening night and she totally fell in love with it, but she's a geek and tends to not like the same things I like. I suppose it depends on how "into it" the crowd is. Watching it with a calm and quiet audience may not give you the same experience as a rowdy crowd.

| It started somewhat serious, then just went downhill to humor. This movie was definitely Samuel Jackson. I can't see anyone else holding up this movie. It was great! The second snake kill was especially painful to watch for me (being a guy). I don't want to say too much, just in case there are people who haven't seen it yet. |
