jake [email] said at 5:58 PM 10-02-2005: These two photos made me think the "secret" of the film would be that the passengers were hallucinating the snakes. I could get into a movie with Jackson playing a Shaft redux, dealing with a bunch of hypochondriac honkies...
But that does not appear to be the case. Rather, it's an actual real wooden case full of snakes that gets opened by an assassin. Huh.
amanda [email] said at 3:50 AM 10-02-2005: Beaks: One of those films that you’re working on right now is… well, it’s called Pacific Air 121—
Jackson: Snakes on a Plane, man!
Beaks: Exactly.
Jackson: We’re totally changing that back. That’s the only reason I took the job: I read the title.
Beaks: Snakes on a Plane! That’s everything!
Jackson: You either want to see that, or you don’t.
Beaks: And how are those snakes? Besides being on a plane?
Jackson: Some of them are aggressive, some of them are cool. They’re interesting to watch, and interesting to interact with. It depends on what kind of snake it is. One day, it took, like, four guys to bring in this 350 lb. Burmese Python. We were all like, “Where’s that goin’?” And I watched an Albino Cobra strike airplane seats the other day. I watched it from another studio. It’s actually been a fun show. But we’re taking the name back!

reggie [email] said at 10:01 AM 10-02-2005: I know a lot of times when an American movie is released in a foreign market the translation of the title ends up being a literal description of the plot. Or something like that. I guess they figured they'd save themselves some trouble.
The script for this must be brilliant because I don't see a reason for Hollywood producers putting that much time, money and effort into what clearly is a horrible movie. I mean is it a spoof type of film or is this a stright up Anaconda-meets-Passenger 57 type of deal.
I wish I'd known it were that easy earlier I wouldn't be wasting brain cells on trying to do something...good.

jess [email] said at 1:41 PM 10-02-2005: There were Hollywood scriptwriters behind us on the El on the way back from taking Lenora to the airport - I wonder if they were responsible for this. They were talking about how horror movies should only be released in October and I wanted to punch them.
chrisx [email] said at 3:15 PM 10-02-2005: "There's a snake in the plane, Jock!"
"That's just my pet snake Reggie"
"I hate snakes, Jock, I hate 'em!"
"C'mon, show a little back bone."
amanda [email] said at 4:01 PM 10-02-2005: This movie had better include "Cold Hearted Snake" by Paula Abdul somewhere in the soundtrack. Also, if there is not a snake in place of at least one overhead oxygen mask, I shall be sorely disappointed.
amanda [email] said at 4:11 PM 10-02-2005: The pilot should also have a crippling fear of snakes, and world-renowned herpetologist should be on the plane by complete chance, such that someone can recite the unique dangers of the various snakes. Of course, he will die just before his expertise is needed the most, leaving Jackson to save the plane from the advancing most dangerous snake(s) of all.
kiche [email] said at 5:43 PM 10-02-2005: it's sort of amazing that they would actually scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel. i mean, the ladel is mostly full of rusted iron flakes in this movie.
the first picture up top is priceless, the guy's like, "weird... snakes, on a plane no less..."
i look forward to the many masterpieces that this production team will undoubtedly produce.
i can see them now, "locked in a closet with spiders" and "public speaking in front of rats".
amanda [email] said at 6:29 PM 10-02-2005: The title suggests that they just randomly opened a dictionary and blindly pointed to words until they came up with a suitable combination of nouns. Then they wrote the script.
I just tried this and came up with "National Debt and Deferred Gratification," "Charles II in Maternity Clothes," and "Crack and Cheesecake."
amanda [email] said at 6:44 PM 10-02-2005: I made the comment on another messageboard that the creators of "Snakes on a Plane" should collaborate with the writers of "Snakehead Terror." The could do "Snakehead Terror on a Plane," "Snakeheads in a Boat," "Snakes on Growth Hormone on a Plane," "Snakes on a Plane vs. Snakeheads in a Lake" etc. The plane with the snakes could crash into a lake infested with mutant supersnakeheads, and the survivors could have to fight both forms of creatures.
"Snakes on a Train" would be cool, as would "Snakes in a Racecar." The possibilities for this are endless.
jake [email] said at 9:21 PM 10-02-2005: Are you mocking me?
I think you are mocking me.
I didn't come up with that one, it was on one of the forums.
That's why I think you're mocking me.
cecil [email] said at 7:54 AM 10-03-2005: No, I'm not mocking, that really made me laugh. But now that I know you didn't come up with it I'm kinda bummed.
amanda [email] said at 1:43 AM 10-03-2005: Yes! And the snakes would have to hold back their urge to consume the fat sweaty person sitting next to them and violating their personal space and snoring!
amanda [email] said at 1:36 AM 10-03-2005: The Crossing Garter

jake [email] said at 11:03 AM 10-03-2005: kind of stretching?
totally stretching. This took me a whole episode of Law & Order Criminal Intent, plus Wikipedia, IMDB, Dictionary.com, and google.
Even one laugh out loud from you, and it's all worth it.
