Picture the scenario, you are cruising high above America, travelling the friendly skies, ensconsed in the world of packaged peanuts and subtly odd tasting soft drinks. You are enoying the inflight movie with your big yellow free headphones when you hear it. At first you think maybe it’s coming from the headphones, so you unjack them and plug them back in, but you still hear it, a barely audible hiss. Many of you may have guessed what’s really going on here, that’s right, there are snakes on the plane.
I first found out about the up-and -coming 2006 release of David R. Ellis’s Snakes On a Plane through the ever-useful Internet Movie Database (IMDB for the suave). The film(starring Samuel L. Jackson) follows a plane full of (judging by the credit list) mostly black passengers after an assasin releases a crateful snakes on their trans-pacific flight. Seemingly a cross between 70’s blaxploitation films and Airplane! the mystique of Snakes on a Plane comes from the seriousness with which it seems to be carrying itself. Very few pictures have been released of the film (IMDB doesnt even have an image for it) leading many people to speculate on the nature of the film. Since the first whispers of Snakes on a Plane it has accumulated somewhat of a cult following on the internet and spawn the semi famous Microsoft Paint composition of Samuel L. Jackson remarking simply “We got motherfucking snakes on the plane!”
Look for Snakes on a Plane at a theatre near you in 2006

i am totally fucking seeing that movie the day it comes out. thanks for the shirt link, i think i might have to buy one (if my finances survive the next week).
I am dragging all my loved ones
i have a feeling that movie is going to be a huge hit even though everyone who sees it will be doing so ironically.
i hope that doesn’t send the wrong message to the studios.
The cast is not all-black. See here:

Fine, but there’s a fair deal of black people on that list.
Awesinine!
