Do you smell a sequel?

GangstaFam said:

I'm too chicken to go see it.

GangstaFam said:

Road trip!!!

Even though I absolutely loved it, I wasn't sure if I wanted to see it again. I think I do

Dayspring said:

and i think going to see it drunk would be fun

Sam Jackson's enthusiasm for this movie alone makes me wanna c it. Whenever he screams, SNAKES ON A MUTHAFUCKIN PLANE, I get excited. I'll see it tomorrow.

Anx said:

oooooh, that was cold.

I just saw this today. The story has so many plot holes, the setup is totally outrageous, the characters are all generic stock figures from the worst horror and disaster movies, and you can predict nearly every scene that's going to happen about 20 minutes before it comes on the screen. It is incredibly bad - and yet because the producers of the movie knew exactly how bad the entire premise of the movie would be, it is one of the funniest times you'll have at the theatre. There are too many creative and tacky ways that the snakes kill off the passengers in this movie to call it scary. Suffice it to say that I will not give any any secrets here, but you will probably laugh your head off when the snakes start attacking the passengers. If anything, this will become a cult classic movie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show vein.

Ok so the sequel will be "Cows on a Plane" and the 3rd will be "Cows vs. Snakes on a Plane". Sound good?

Maybe they'll dig up Freddie Kreuger and Jason Voorhies and call it Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Snakes On A Plane.

What about the cows?

coolcat said:

Gee. With all of the horror movie characters, I wouldnt think docile animals like cows would stand a chance. Are cows terribly scary?

I suppose we coul dmake them have mad cow disease.

dreamfactory313 said:

Ah... but that's what makes it so scary... it's totally unexpected! Like a killer bunny!

coolcat said:

Ahhhh. I getcha!

dreamfactory313 said:

I've only seen the shorts and thought it looked kinda corny

coolcat said:

I'd see that!

Here's an article I wrote on the SOAP phenomenon...


Confessions of a snakeophile
Why we can’t wait for ‘Snakes On a Plane’ to suck


by Jason W_____
For me, like hundreds of other Internet-friendly film geeks, it started with that title. In the name of all-that-is-indie, has there been a more perfect film title in the last two decades?
"Snakes On A Plane." Just say it. Now say it again. Only "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies" has a title that direct, honest and, well, awesome.
The movie-going audiences of the world are now divided into two camps: Those sick bastards like myself who can’t wait to see a movie that will be terrible by design and those who just don’t get what the fuss is about.
To be sure, there’s nothing defensible about the film itself; in the industry they call this kind of film "critic proof." The studio knows the film is aesthetically garbage; the kind you see in the Wal-Mart cutout bin for $3. "Snakes On A Plane" — or "SOAP" as we Snakeheads call it — will never be shown in a film class but rather will take its place in pop culture or media studies.
What makes "SOAP" a milestone is that this is the first time that a cult film following has directly influenced the outcome of a movie. The Internet buzz about the flick first struck last year when news about that title began to slither about on various Web sites and forum boards, particularly the now famous www.snakeson
ablog.com. That perfect title even won the heart of Samuel L. Jackson, who signed on to star in the film based solely on hearing the name of this would-be-opus.
The fans took it from there, even writing dialogue. Jackson’s now immortal line, "That’s it! I’m tired of these mother-
f-ing snakes on this motherf-ing plane" came about when someone suggested it in jest on a Web site. Once filming wrapped, the studio sent the film back for reshoots, based on fan feedback, to add more of what every growing boy needs — nudity, violence and strong language. They wanted to give this thing a PG-13 rating. Can you imagine? We don’t want our parents to go, dammit!
Here’s the real reason people are proud to be "SOAP" culties: We influenced a multimillion dollar film studio. For the first time since the heyday of the "Rocky Horror" phenomenon, a big-ass Holly-wood movie studio (in this case, New Line Cinema) is listening to the slightly askew fans and not to some smarmy Hollywood market-ing guy who learned everything about the film industry from watching Tim Robbins in "The Player." It’s the ultimate "Revenge of the Nerds" — the studio is bowing before us film geeks and you’re seeing a reversal of what used to happen to some of us in junior high — we’re giving these "I live in L.A. and like it" Hollywood suits a wedgy, trapping them in a locker labeled "Box Office Profits," while shouting an ultimatum to them through the locker door: "You screw up this movie, we won’t go see it? Got it, punk?"
Imagine if film fans had this kind of power all the time. We could have prevented every Rob Schneider film from getting greenlit. We could lobby to get a law passed that would prevent any unnecessary remakes of ’70s horror films. We could make it a crime punishable by death to ever give Vincent Gallo funding for another movie. We could force George Lucas to publicly apologize for both Jar Jar Binks and those "Special Edition" movies. We could make studios cease production on the tired movie-promo T-shirts and hats in lieu of cooler swag like "Kill Bill" blood bags and a PlayStation 2 game of "The Passion of the Christ" ("Yes! I got him to the top of the hill without killing him
too soon!")
So, now we "SOAP" fans are finally seeing the end result of our admittedly embarrassing forum posts, fanfic, homemade T-shirts, word-of-mouth promotions to our families (who usually look at us with blank stares) and uninitiated friends who by now are sick of hearing us go on and on about this celluloid atrocity.
Don’t think for a minute that we think this film will be good. Quite the contrary — we’re expecting it to suck. And, it damn well better suck. Perish the thought of the disappointed fan who trudges home from the show, bitterly declaring "It was horrible. It was too good."
So, laugh at us if you want. But, know this, unbeliever: The "SOAP" cult has done something unprecedented to Hollywood and some would say it’s about motherf _ _ _ ing time: They brought Hollywood to its knees and put the power of the movies back where it belongs ... in the hands of the people. This time little film fans made the big, bad corporate suits listen.
And that’s nothing to hiss about.

Im going to see it @ 2 today. I'll write a review.

I'm still skurred!

I heard that one of the fan parodies was called "Sharks on a Rollercoaster" and even had a tagline: "You must be this tall...TO DIE!!!" Actually, I'm waiting for "Lions in a Shopping Mall."
