potential greatest movie of all time

2Marlon2Brando · 08-23-2005, 07:17 PM

Samuel L. Jackson, however, is psyched about the
return of snakes -- in the title of his latest
thriller. Although New Line has been referring to the
David R. Ellis-directed film as "Pacific Air Flight
121," Hollywood's hardest-working badass insists that
they're reclaiming the original, silly, yet eminently
more satisfying title "Snakes on a Plane."

"We're going back. It's not 'Flight 121,'" Jackson
tells Zap2it.com. "It's like, come on. You either want
to see this movie or you don't. 'Snakes on a Plane.'
There's no mystery to that."

On the off chance the explicit title isn't enough of a
selling point, the actor launches into a pithy
synopsis of the slithering tour de force.
"I'm an FBI agent transporting a witness from Hawaii
to Los Angeles. The kid has witnessed a murder by a
gangster who personally killed somebody -- stupid
gangster -- and the kid saw it," says Jackson. "In the
middle of the ocean, this crate time releases and
there's 500 poisonous snakes in there and they scatter
out all over the plane. We can't go back and we've got
to go forward. So it's us battling snakes to LA."

He pauses for emphasis and then reiterates, "Fighting
snakes to LA."

2Marlon2Brando · 08-23-2005, 07:45 PM

if the man was called snakes on a plane i would go see it

prior restraint · 08-23-2005, 07:46 PM

snakes on a plane is such a crucial title

Luke de Spa · 08-23-2005, 07:47 PM

The title alone brings so much joy.

Has anyone seen Red Eye? I was really looking forward to it because the trailer made out that it was a romantic comedy that turns out to have an evil demon as the male love interest (his goddamn eyes went red in the trailer, I swear), but what I'm reading suggests that he's not an evil demon after all, but a boring assassin whose eyes don't go red, not even once. Is this true? Did the filmmakers squander a golden opportunity to create something beautiful?

yes.

no demon at all.

that movie was shit

2Marlon2Brando · 08-23-2005, 07:49 PM

you know that red eye is slang for an overnight flight

in the movie, they are taking a flight during the night.

Rachel McAdams even refers to the flight as a "Red Eye" in the movie.

Luke de Spa · 08-23-2005, 07:55 PM

Yeah, I do.

But a red-eyed demon offers so much more potential for comedy than an assassin — so much so that they really shouldn't be misleading people like that with the trailer. If I hadn't read any reviews I would've gone to see that movie expecting a romantic comedy that goes batshit demon-crazy in the second act.

At least there's Snakes on a Plane to look forward to.

So, to clarify:
Snakes on a plane > Demon on a plane >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Assassin on a plane

i can't hear to hear the movie trailer guy go "SNAKES on a PLANE...rated R"

2Marlon2Brando · 08-23-2005, 08:13 PM

this is all i could do on short notice

prior restraint · 08-23-2005, 08:17 PM

there is going to be a scene where a snake is about to bite someone, and he is going to shoot its head off

2Marlon2Brando · 08-23-2005, 08:18 PM

you know he will have some kick ass one-liners and it wont even matter that he is talking to a snake cause the one-liners will be so good

vbshlofbvgos · 08-23-2005, 08:20 PM

he's right though, they might as well just call it snakes on a plane

Travis Meeks · 08-23-2005, 08:24 PM

Dude, you guys kill me. Seriously, this is some fucking funny shit. I love you guys

COG · 08-23-2005, 09:00 PM

No, your all wrong, this is the movie to see with Samuel L. Jackson and the word snake in the title. Just that little plot outline says to me this will be the movie of Samuel Jacksons career. Maybe.
