This movie truly looks horrible... Why anyone would see it is beyond me. Take a look yourself: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/

The plot outline looks kind of dull, but interesting.....

There hasto be more than that. A person doesn't get together with hundreds of other people and spends half a year trying to make the film, JUST so he can show the world a bunch of snakes on a plane, and plus snakeEyes, how can you judge if a movie looks horrible or not, just by looking at the cast and outline? there has been no Trailer or stills released yet.

Stupidest plot ever. Totally uncredible, and is even more unlikely than the plot of "Flightplan".

If you threw red eye, anaconda, and a shitty script in a blender.....


youd get snakes on a plane

David Ellis, Never Directed Before, He was only the Stunt Coordinator.

Guess this is all he could pull off.

Probly the last time he will Direct...

I was almost sure that this movie was supposed to be a joke.

Well, what I meant was: judging by the plot outline and so forth, I don't see how they could make a good movie out of such a terrible storyline (but that's just me)...

and I agree with you, from what I can see right now, it doesn't look too hot.

omg, people waste money to make anything these days.

Question: Is there anyone here that is looking forward to this film?

You said it yourself. How can you judge a movie that doesn't even had a poster. Seems like your contradicting yourself. Although I do agree with you on your blender analogy, from details so far, like you said.

delete.

Holy shit... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/board/nest/27261118

They had fun making fun of that movie.... hahaha.

I dunno...it looks so laughable I might have to see it...

Best Picture Ever:
http://4colorreview.com/4cr_pics/snakes_plane.jpg

Is that Keenan? LoL. Maybe the movie is a comedy.

Yup, thats Keenan.

I'd go see this movie to laugh at it, scince according to IMDB, it ISNT a comedy, its a horror/thriller. DAMN! give us writers!

If you haven't heard, it's a new movie with Samuel L. Jackson, and it's about an assassin who needs to kill his target whom happens to be on a plane. His master plan for taking care of the snake? Releasing a crate full of deadly snakes whilst the plane is in mid-flight!!

Here's the IMDB article.

Er, WOW. I meant to put this in MOVIE discussion. Could a mod move this for me?

Done and done.

You seem to have me confused with someone who cares/keeps up to date with all the trendy forum catch phrases/knows who Kes is

Kes was the best mod kmc ever had and will ever have.

This movie seems like it will be BAD.

I miss Kes....and yes, the movie does sound horrible...

Lol, indeed this movie will be bad. I'm going to enjoy watching this.

I think it'll be a fantastic and influencial film. Cannot wait!

The guy in the picture needs to stop making movies.

he's over population the market with his own face

Say wha..?

According to some sources the film's rating will be hiked to "R". When I first heard of it I thought it was going to be a rather stupid film.

So my curiosity drove me to watch the trailer....OH MAN! This looks friggin wicked! releasing a bunch of poisonous/venomus snakes inside a plane full of people and pets. I gotta see it!

Plus, Samuel L. Jackon is the star of the film! That's a bonus for me. Hopefully lots of gore and sick disturbing scenes.

apparently this movie has already reached cult status before getting released. why? cause its MOTHER FCUKING SNAKES ON A MOTHER FCUKING PLANE! and add samuel jackson to that... its gonna make a GAZILION DOLLERS.. in its first day.


this film is becoming the chuck norris of movies.

you guys heard the trailer by chris rohan? with the terrorists that sound like kim jong il from team america: world police and 'the perry' screaming as slj 'what the f**k mtoehrf**king f**king HELL!'?

'Snakes On A Plane'? That's an interesting title for a movie, I wonder what it's about...

How could you not want to see this...I've been waiting months for this to come out!!! When Jackson says his line I'm gonna freak!

Tons of people will go check it out just for a laugh...it's summer, it's Sam L., and it's snakes on plane...without a doubt it's gonna do well.

trailer...rrrrrright.

You guys act like Samuel L. Jackson is a great actor. He's more iconic than he is legendary. He's had one movie worth watching in the past 6 years.

This movie is gonna smash the box office records. I can't wait to buy the t-shirts, hats, Official guide book, action figures, and the novel....Samuel never fails. Snakes on Plane is destine to be a cult classic.

Snakes on a Plane??? Come on, no snake-movie ever was any real good so why the hell would tossing them on a plane be an improvement?
What's next, 'Piranha's Vs. Laurence of Arabia'?

but has anyone actually LISTENED to the trailers? they're the funny part, and why it's such a internet hit.... chris rohan's is amazing!

Unbreakable, The Incredibles, and Changing Lanes were all pretty decent.

Yeah, I agree...between having a cool-ass name like that and a legendary role in Pulp Fiction, you can't do no wrong....now people always think he's the epidemy of cool...it's kind of annoying.

...in the end though, a very decent actor.

....epitome of cool.

go to

nutsaflame.com

and go to the 'snakes on a plane (soap)' and 'soap song'

the trailer and the song were originally hosted on subatomicwarp.com, at http://www.subatomicwarp.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=2

THIS is why snakes on a plane has so much fuss and hype. it's not in spite of the fact that this movie sounds stupid, it's because of the fact that this movie sounds stupid.

laurel

p.s.- you might wanna listen to everything on nutsaflame, it's all hilarious. too bacd the 'graphic audio' links aren't up right now, they're a riot.

it'll drop like 60% in it's second weekend

I first heard about this movie today! It sounds like a rather boring plot, but Samuel L Jackson is a brilliant actor, I am sure the film will be a success.

Just like "Freedomla..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

expect the unexpected from this film

It looks like a B movie, and I'd watch it because they aren't trying to hype it up to something big ..

Plus, I'm curious to see what the storyline will be like.

I wonder if everyone that wants to watch that movie is thinking "I like snakes....I like planes...that's the right movie for me"....otherwise I can't really understand the hype.

i hate snakes

Right, plus the crack-head he played in Spike Lee's movie (Which one?), his role as Coach Carter, his teacher in 187, and oh yeah, the man who killed the rapists of his little daughter:

"Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in Heah-el!"-A Time to Kill

Whoever posted that he can't act needs therapy.

*cough* pulp fiction

*cough* Jackie Brown


S.W.A.T was good too, but is more about the ensemble.

This movie is so bad, it started a craze. A lot of people are going to see it BECAUSE it is horrible.

There has been many parodys too. They are hilarious.

Better than Potter I can tell you that. Lay off this 'gem' of a film!

Opening day baby, woooo!

...k maybe not.

Nah, they look as bad as the Clonetroopers in ROTS...

Or King Kong in King Kong.

I mean really. How much better was that than 'Mighty Joe Young' which was like 10 years ago?

There was a snake in Narnia too, right?

These are better...they're Snakes on a Plane! Can't beat 'em!

I thought Kong was amazing... the rest of the vfx in the film were crap, though.

Never saw Narnia...

But seriously, these snakes are less believable than Anaconda.

Awesome! (I mean it...I'm looking forward to SOaP)

hey i give him credit at least it isnt a remake

at least no one can say it's not a unique concept.... though i've read the script, and it's your typical cheesy action flick. but really. who can deny the AWESOMENESS of snakes? on a plane?

It looks awesome. im going ot see it a couple of days after my birthday

Come on! Anyone else getting hyped?

This movie is gonna rock the box office!

the trailer didn't look so good. people being attacked by snakes. looks lame to me.

Here is exactly why the movie is going to be a commercial and cult phenomenon: Snakes...on a plane. The greatness of the movie is the fact that the plot is so obvious. In fact, Samuel L. Jackson signed on to the movie because of the title. According to him, he didn't even read it. And he threatened to leave the project when they wanted to change the title to Pacific Air 121 (reportedly to 'class up' the film a little). Who cares if the plot is given away? Does anyone think any less of the Old Man and the Sea because the key plot points is given away?

And in response to the person who said Samuel L. Jackson isn't a great actor, I say nay! Sam Jackson is perhaps one of the most legendary actors of this generation. There are few actors that can send a film's popularity rocketing skyward like Samuel L.

In short, the title is key. Sure it's obvious what the movie's about, but to quote Mr. Jackson: "That's the motherf**kin POINT!" Without the title, the movie would fail, both commercially and critically. Without the title, the movie would be a piece of sh!t. In fact, it probably still be a piece of sh!t, but it will be a piece of sh!t that a lot of people will love. And that's the real point of Hollywood: to entertain us.

Nicely put. I'm not expecting the movie to actually be quality... but I do, however, expect it to entertain me.

It does look horrible, I can't believe Jackson agreed to doing that shit.

It doesn't get much cooler than this... Snakes... on a Plane... with Sam Jackson!

Best. Mother****in'. Clip. Ever.

I want to see it. I heard a lot of funny sh*t happens, and I heard most crowds make the movie funnier.

I'll get around to seeing it, but I'd rather see Little Miss Sunshine this weekend.

Just got back.

It is, without a doubt, the greatest muthaf**kin' action flick to grace the silver screen in years (OK, maybe just the summer, but you have to forgive me, I'm still on a SoaP high). Yes, it's very cheeseball at times, and completely ridiculous in others, but that's what MAKES this movie. The fact that it doesn't take itself seriously at all.

And, without really spoiling anything, I have to say that I'd have loved to have sat in on the meeting of the writers while they discussed all the fantastically ridiculous ways in which they could kill people.

People need to realise that this movie was nothing more than a clever marketing ploy, and if you go see it, they've suckered you.

-AC

Totally kick ass flick! Exactly what I was expecting. Some disturbing images and quite a lot of people running for their lives. My only disappointment is that some of the snakes did look too cgi. But I wasn't looking for some academy award story nor an academy award performances. When Samuel says the infamous line nearly everyone in theater either laugh or cheer. I did both.

There really isn't much to it. You want Snakes on a Plane....that's what you get...snakes on a plane. Out of all the disturbing scenes of people getting bitten by the snakes. The only scene I didn't like was the one with the baby and the rattle snake...honestly I won't spoiled but I didn't like it.

If you're looking for Masterpiece Theather movie. Don't bother with this flick....go rent Meet Joe Black or Titanic. This film isn't for you. Me? I'm grabbing another bag of pop-corn and taking my seat...I'm going for another viewing.

WD presents Snakes On a Plane a score of:

4 out of 5

Whats the infamous line?

Can someone clarify what the point is? Yes, we get that it's simply Snakes on a Plane, but I'm curious as to why this is acceptable film material nowadays.

Why are people paying money to see a film about snakes on a plane? I'm genuinely curious here, not poking fun.

Swear to god, if this movie does better than Superman Returns or V for Vendetta....

i hear this movie is so horribly funny and bad.. that it is good

Of course it will, they've already tricked people into liking it.

In about a week it'll be uncool again.

-AC

I really really don't understand what all the hype is about. The movie looks kinda neat, and I'll go see it when it goes to the local three dollar theater, but the attention this movie is getting just doesn't make much sense too me. Like it's the first cheesy campy movie that's come out or something.

AC I'm not looking for an argument or anything....but why do you keep saying "They're tricking you to get your money"? Can you name a movie that doesn't make money out movie goers? What's the all the hype? Ask yourself that question when you see countless and countless of people making line to buy a ticket to buy a Space Battles movie like last year. Why do people pay money? Gee, maybe because they're looking for some kind of entertainment? When people buy pornography and spend money (porn is alway more expensive than a movie ticket) watching the same positions..the same moaning and blah, blah, blah...if you would ask them why do you spend your money? What do you think they'll asnwer? I tell you...."I enjoyed"

Simple..

Film is all about making money, has been since it began, I fail to see your point AC, other than just trying to be elitist.

I think it's more of the combination of Samuel Jackson's type cast character being stuck on an airplane with a bunch of snakes. If it were Snakes On A Plane, starring Tim Allen or someone like that, it wouldn't be the same. But yeah, it's way overhyped.

Going to see this epic film tonight!

I think it's the first one that has based its hype upon a cult movement, coupled with an arch irony that is, to me, incredibly punchworthy.

I don't know how to accurately specify it, but this seems like exploitation film at its finest. Entertainment for the sake of entertainment. Coolness for the sake of coolness. Samuel mother****ing Jackson with mother****ing snakes on a mother****ing plane!

All you haters need to lighten the **** up and have some fun... Because I know I will...

WHAT THE F*CK-A-DUCK!?!?!?!

I might see this. I've been hearing that the net nerds have been flocking to this picture in droves. Hissing at the opening credits, giving a standing ovation to Samuel's "I have HAD it with these MOTHER****ING snakes on this MOTHER****ING plane! " speech. Sounds fun if just for the audience.

The other reason I probably will see this is after spending my childhood watching the greatness of Kenan and Kel, I've had to torture myself by watching every crappy movie Kenan stars in just for the hope that maybe one time, he will be in something that will be as good as the greatest kids show ever: Kenan and Kel.

Kenan is in it? Im definately going, the chance of seeing that idiot eaten by a snake is worth the ticket admission alone, at least for me.

Who said anything about movies making money being a bad thing? I said it's tricking people into paying money to see the crap. It is. It's one of those nerd movies, the kind that they try to make "uncool" to not like.

I'm not asking you about the ins and outs of morals in movie going, stop being so over-dramatic. I was asking why you'd pay money multiple times to see Snakes on a Plane, quite literally. If the answer is: "Because it's entertaining.", then fine, but I question how easily entertained you are.

I'm not trying to be elitist, that's a dumb claim. I'm not going to see this movie because I feel it's stupid, and so is the choice to give it any credibility.

Not really. Looking at it, people watch movies for entertainment. And if they get great entertainment when going to a movie for other reasons than the movie itself then I just don't see anything wrong with it. If you can explain why you see it differently, please do so...

But why is it stupid. Why is liking a movie for lets say the cuts ...or the special effects...or the storyline so much less stupid then for an actor in that movie or the audiences reaction of that movie. It's an experience you can only have when watching the movie...it's not more or less stupid (factually) than watching a movie in silence for whatever other reason, just because that is the way you are supposed to watch a movie and the reasons why you watch it. So, it's stupid to you...that's okay, but why is it stupid to you? Since it is obviously not stupid.

Yeah, it is stupid.

Because deeming a movie worth your time simply because an actor is in it, regardless of if he's good or not, is equal to liking a movie for the props, and yes...liking an entire movie for the "props" or people (regardless of if they're good) is stupid. Your desire to be awkward won't change that.

If a movie is shit, with shit acting and shit story, you are proposing that it's not stupid to say "It's good!" off the back of the people who sat there and watched it? If that's the case, you're a moron. I'm not saying it's wrong to prefer watching it with an audience, I'm saying it's stupid to say the audience somehow makes it a good film, which it is.

No to say a shit movie is good is stupid. To watch a shit movie for other reasons is not. That's what this is about, if you happen to have forgotten.

To watch a movie and say it's fun just because of the audience is stupid. To want to see a movie simply because of the audience is stupid. Because it's not going to be the same audience all the time, for one thing.

It's simple, Bardock. No need to wrestle yourself over it.

I see, because every concert of a band will be the same...

If you derive pleasure from seeing a certain actor and that actor is in the movie and you think that watching the movie regardless of what else might be bad about it is worth your time I can't see the difference of watching it for any other reason.

No, it's not that.

It's a simple concept; Paying money to see what is clearly a movie born and existing as a marketing plot, off the back of an actor just being in it and also the "audience" in a few instances being "fun", is stupid.

If you don't think it is, fine, I'm not asking you to agree. You're just attempting to be awkward because you've grown to like attention a lot.

Paying money for something that will entertain you just somehow doesn't seem too stupid to me. Because, well, if looked at it objectively all I my spending of money comes down to that. Somehow I also doubt that it is different for you.

You could maybe also cut back on the ad hominem arguments. Not because you are necessarily wrong, just because they don't have anything to do with the matter at hand.

So if spending time with people is what makes you happy, do it. That's fine.

The stupid part is paying money for a MOVIE for the purpose of spending time with people, especially a room full of people that you don't know. Which is what he was proposing.

That's like paying for a vacation just to go to a bar.

But he didn't say that it was spending time that he would enjoy he said that it was the reaction of a few people to the movie that would make him enjoy the movie. I realize that going to watch a movie for that is like Russian roulette a bit, but if that would make him happy it doesn't seem stupid to me. And especially the reason that he wants to watch it for an actor seems reasonable.

An extremely good bar that you can only go to when going on vacation.

A) It doesn't seem stupid TO YOU. To me, it does. It might make the experience nice, but it doesn't make the movie better does it? No.

B) Do you know who the "actor" is? If you knew, I doubt you'd be defending it.

A) And that's what we are talking about. the movie experience. He didn't say he is going to watch it because he thinks it is a great movie, but because the experience will be good for him, since he is going to see the actor he wants to see. You should really get over the "movie: good or bad" thingy, since we are not talking about that...at all.

B) Doesn't matter...even if it would be Nicholas Cage a long as he enjoys it it is not stupid.

Are you maybe trying to say that it would be stupid if you would watch that movie for those reasons? That would make sense, as pointless as it would be.

No, you're getting it twisted. If the actor is complete shit, and he still likes it purely because of who the man is, that's stupid. That's Justin Timberlake fan mentality.

It's also stupid to assume the movie audience will be the same.

That's dumb logic, but then, it is Bardock logic. Anything is ok if you think it is.

It's not "wrong", or stupid to him, but it's stupid to me. To say it's not stupid simply because he enjoys it is dumb. What Hitler did was pretty bad, but he enjoyed it.

Yeah, I thought about this. I don't think that someone that likes Justin Timberlake is stupid for liking Justin Timberlake.It seems to me that it is the same as saying that someone is stupid for reading the books he can understand. That someone is stupid for doing the work he is able to work. And I just don't think that is stupid.

To say it is stupid simply because it would be stupid for you to do it is what is actually dumb.

Nice Hitler example there. But I believe people go to movies for entertainment generally....so why is it stupid to go to the cinema for entertainment although that entertainment might not come from the storyline of the movie (or any other part of the movie you deem better than one of the actors)?

No, I did not pointlessly debate you. I didn't agree with you (or vice versa). I stated what you could say without being wrong. Let me make it clear to you again.

Going to a movie to see an actor (be entertained) is not stupid. It's not stupid to him. It's not stupid to me. And I very much hope that it isn't actually stupid to you either.

What would be stupid is you going to the movie for that actor or the crowd, since you don't seem to like the actor nor want to go to a movie for the surrounding feeling. That's okay. But it doesn't make it stupid to want to do that.

And I am doing this (besides my obvious love for attention) because I genuinely believe you are wrong. And I feel like pointing this out to you. I also enjoy actual debates with intelligent people.

And did you actually give me more credit? Lets not kid ourselves.

THE NAME SUCKS. If they changed the name i might watch it.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's stupid any way you look at it, isn't it?

To go to a movie and say the movie is good purely because the audience was good. Even then, to me personally, a good audience is one that shuts up and enjoys the movie. You don't need to sit there cheering.

Because if the entertainment you go there for, you can get elsewhere for free by other legal and legitimate means, why even go to the movie? Why pay for a movie when it's not the movie you're aiming for? Do you not see the point?

If hanging out with fun people is his aim, then go do it with friends without paying. Why see a movie to be in a room with people you don't know, and deem it a "fun" experience just because they were cheering?

Going to see a movie simply because a certain actor is in it, to me, is stupid. I'm not saying you're wrong for being entertained by it, but the action of it is stupid.

Because that's like paying to see Bob Dylan do something shit just because you like Bob Dylan. Pointless and illogical. If it makes you happy, fine. It's illogical, though.

If he is going to see Snakes on a Plane for the audience and/or this actor, then yes, I believe those are stupid reasons for going. End of debate. There are ways he can be entertained by the actor without paying for a movie.

Dude, it was a joke. The only movies I've seen that has Kenan in them would be Good Burger which was when I was a dumb kid and Barbershop 2. Do you really think I would watch trash like Love Don't Cost A Thing or Fat Albert just because Kenan is in them? Come on man.

I never said I would go see the movie JUST for the audience. I implied it would be fun if the audience was like that, that's all. The reason I brought it up was because I had never heard of that happening in a theatre before. My first reason to see the film would be so I could be entertained by the movie.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say in another thread that you paid to watch Pirates of the Caribbean II? What the difference between Snakes and POTC II? Both are marketing ploys. Both are mindless entertainment.

Caught a showing of SoaP last night.

It was great!

My expectations were pretty low, so I was pleasantly surprised. I went with about 10 other people too, which made it more fun.

It was a campy, action-packed and humorous film. Anyone who needs a good dose of mindless entertainment should see this movie. But you need to be in the right mindset. Don't go in expecting an Oscar-winning film. Either go in expecting a fun movie or nothing at all, and I pretty much guarantee that you'll like it.

Sounds good. I think I'll see this on my next day off. I love these types of movies, like Lake Placid, Eight Legged Freaks etc . . . Snakes On A Plane seems like it will live up to those types of films.

I'm not asking you about the ins and outs of morals in movie going, stop being so over-dramatic. I was asking why you'd pay money multiple times to see Snakes on a Plane, quite literally. If the answer is: "Because it's entertaining.", then fine, but I question how easily entertained you are.

-AC

No, I think you're just trying to dig a hole in the water AC. No one is being over dramatic...I don't know where you came with that comment. Entertainment doesn't really any kind of indepth analysis...that's how it is...some people like cherry pie...others like apple pie....and some just like any kind of pie.

I think whats happening here is very unsual indeed. I think SOaP is the very first film ever. To get more hype from the negative responses who don't like the title than people who actually seen the movie.

I have grown a lot from this experience, and I look forward to crystalising my knowledge of other people's ... tastes in the not too distant future. Again, thank you.

I'm as curious about the phenomena surrounding this movie as other people here. I'm sure it's a fun, throw-away shit-flick, but why all the hoopla about snakes being on a plane, and Samuel L. Jackson saying 'motherf*cking' a couple of times? Also, surely you can't enjoy his 'foul language', can you?

Well, there is undeniably a specific marketing strategy at work, as with most things. This one is particularly sly, because it'll get people who like dumb movies seeing it at face value, as well as people being ironic about their appreciation of it. It also has, as you said, some interest generated by people who aren't fans.

Of course, this is coming from a Sam Jackson fan and a lover of fun and entertainment. *gasp* And my expectations were pretty high.

Of course, there was the fact that I saw it with some of my best friends, so that might have heightened the experience.

But still, it was f**king awesome

so yea.. this was even worse than i imagined it would be. Sam Jackson Is one of the most over rated actors in the industry.. or maybe he just makes too many horrible choices.

i saw this movie it was funny.....

Pirates wasn't more or less born with the plan to market as a nerdy internet meme, thus putting nerds everywhere into a position where you simply have to go see it. It has a plot and regardless of whether it was marketed, as all movies are, it's not a movie born with the sole purpose of advertising: "Look, this movie is simply snakes on a plane. That's it.", and having people pay.

As said previously, there's a very specific marketing ploy with this one. Dumb people go to see it because it's on their level, and others go to see it because they think it's this ironic, poking fun mega film, and we're out of the loop if we don't get it.

The fact is, they gave everyone a title and a vague plotline and then the nerds did the marketing for them. All the fake soundtracks, all the fake posters and trailers, that was how this movie got it's word out, and you were all used as marketing tools, plain and simple. If you didn't take part in it, then you've simply been suckered by it.

Why you're so upset about this is quite strange. You've made the leap, you've said you love it and that you'll go see it again, so why are you trying to defend your actions? You got played like an arcade machine.
