Let's forget for a moment that this happens to be one of the most ridiculous premises ever for a major motion picture. Let's even forget for a moment that internet bloggers are patting themselves on the back for creating more buzz about this movie than it's worth. Has there ever been a movie with a FOUR WORD title that encompasses almost 95% of the PLOT?? Ever?? I also read where the favorite line by Sam Jackson in this "movie by bloggers" is when he says: “I’ve had it with the motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!”
Perfect.
Perfectly absurd movie line. Perfectly Samuel L. Jackson.
Originally, I told myself (as if anyone has to TELL themselves this...) that I would never part with my money to watch this friggin' joke. After much contemplation, though, I just might have to go see this one. It has to be the bookend companion to “Showgirls” as the most ridiculous movies in Hollywood history.Wanna hear something even more asinine than the "plot" of the movie? Straight from the headlines, folks: PHOENIX (Reuters) - Life imitating art is all very well. Unless, that is, it's a movie about deadly snakes on the rampage. Movie chain AMC Entertainment Inc. said pranksters at one of its Phoenix theaters released two live diamondback rattlesnakes during a showing of the film "Snakes on a Plane" last Friday. No one was injured. (Rob Note : You've gotta be freakin' kidding me. This can't be true, can it? THIS is what's called a "prank" now? Holy shit...) AMC spokeswoman Melanie Bell said, "One was found in the parking lot during the show, and the other in the movie theater. They were both removed, and no one was harmed."
The snakes were later released in the desert.
Bell had no further details.
The movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, and spins a yarn about a crate-load of escaped snakes that run amok on an airline flight, attacking passengers and crew.
"There were kids at the show, and it was actually very reckless," Russ Johnson, the president of the Phoenix Herpetological Society told Reuters. (ROB NOTE 2: Sounds like he's the president of an STD clinic to me.)
"The snake's bite carries a powerful venom that could have seriously injured someone," he added. (ROB NOTE 3: You can read all about this medical discovery in next month's issue of DUH magazine!)
Good fun...good clean fun, I suppose.
