I just caught this in the replay last evening. Hee. They played the clip of “I’m tired of these motherfuckin snakes on my plane!” and Samuel L. Jackson was tickled that TDS went for it instead of less impactful ones that other shows played. He just seemed over the top psyched about the film and the crowd went wild. Of course Jon said, Now what is the movie about? 
I believe it’s a biography of noted herpetologist Steve Irwin.
I liked when they talked about the original title of the movie, Flight number something. Stewart said, “You know who’s in that movie? Meredith Baxter-Birney! Snakes On A Plane? Samual MF* Jackson!” That part really tickled me.
Yes! I had a vague memory I wanted to post but forgot…that was it 
They originally said SoaP and then wanted to PG it and rename it…so SLJ and crew got on the blogosphere and spread news of the potential pussification and stoopid name.
Did you notice Samuel L. Jackson’s special Snakes on a Plane sneakers?
One really worrying sign: Apparently, reviewers aren’t getting sneak peeks at the movie. That’s never a good thing.
For most movies, whose theater take depends on their having some kind of good qualities, that’s true. But this one depends on its *lack * of any such pretenses. It’s a joke, always intended as one. A lot of folks may well *hope * for the movie to suck, um, snake venom, so it can take its place as this generation’s “Rocky Horror”.
And, oh yes, I’ll be there. At the bargain matinee, though.
Like it matters.
Elvis is right. This is the Rocky Horror Picture Show of our generation, except less gay. I might wrap a big stuffed anaconda around me when we attend tomorrow night’s opening.
Speak for yourself, Junior. *My * generation’s “Rocky Horror” was “Rocky Horror”.
Yeah? Well, you still think Elvis lives!
Yeah? Well, you still think Elvis lives!
That’s my point. You’re really old. Snakes on a Plane is the Rocky Horror of THIS generation, e.g. people who cannot yet hear the Reaper’s footsteps close behind them.
Something about these statements doesn’t jibe for me. 
SoaP is the first ready-made cult classic I’ve seen in years, but it’s more like Robot Monster than Rocky Horror.
Let us not forget the goodness of the Happy Negotiate Them into a Corner for a Sequel dance that Jon and SLJ did.
mobo85, I didn’t notice those were special SoaP shoes, I’ll have to watch it again … since I tivoed it … so my best friend could see it before we go tonight … yes, that’s it!
gigi, of course SLJ was over the top, he’s talking about Snakes on a Plane!! It’s all about over the top fun goodness. Thank the invisible pink unicorn for the Daily Show spot, now my sweet pea is thinking going won’t be worse than having his horse kick and stand on him, however he refuses to do the Happy Negotiate … dance at the theatre.
RickJay, love the idea about the plushy snake. That rocks!
I don’t think it had anything to do with “PG”-ing it. I believe that “Snakes on a Plane” was not meant to be the actual title of the movie. It was just the high concept or the working title and it was assumed that at some point it would be replaced by a real title. They weren’t prepared for the fact that the public already would be aware of the working title and object to its being replaced.
Countdown with Keith Olberman also showed the “MFing snakes” line from the movie, and the reporter also had SLJ repeat the line in an interview they had. Good stuff.
RickJay, now that I think about it your comparison wasn’t so far off. It’s a future cult classic for sure, although it’s now a high-profile one. And Robot Monster isn’t really the movie I wanted - that’s a super-crappy genre movie, and SoaP is actually a well-made genre movie.
And he’s back! Last night, ranting to Samantha Bee (asking experts “Could There Really Be Snakes on a Plane?”) about how snakes could very well be on a plane because he witness the mofos himself!
Live Rattlesnakes Released In “Snakes on a Plane” Theater.
Leave it to the asshats to take it too far. It’s pretty much attempted murder.
Reckless endangerment, maybe. Regardless, each person who was in the theater at the time should get a change to hit the culprits with a big stick if they’re ever identified.
