Wait, this is a big whoosh, right? Those still are a fake, right? No one would seriously make a movie, called “Snakes on a Plane”, about snakes, on a plane, would they? Right? [sub]Uh, shelbo, let me tell you about “Stealth” . . . [/sub] AAARRRRGHH! ---

Snakes on a plane! Snakes on a plane! I hope to god I see Sam Jackson someday soon so I can yell it over to him and give him a belly-bumping high ten. I read about this a while back on [gawker.com](http://gawker.com), and I oculdn’t agree more with those - including Jackson- who believe they’d be crazy to change the name. That’s what Jackson signed on to do, dammit. They don’t even need a tag line. Or a description. Or a trailer. ---

Even the worst reptiles-in-a-vehicle story is miles better than your On Golden Ponds or your Raging Bulls. There are snakes. They are on a plane. 'Nuff said. ---

If Tarantino would direct Snakes On A Plane? The perfect nexus of all cinema coolness. Truly it would be the greatest movie ever made. “Does he LOOK like an asp?” ---

Take a close look at the last photo in this gallery and then tell me: Is there a snake in that guy’s pants? Is there going to be an unfortunate taser accident? ---

A comic I read sometimes has [URL=http://wigu.com/overcompensating/2005/09/snakes-on-plane.html] this to say. Has this been beaten to death yet? No, you can’t beat the snakes, they are on a Mutha-Fucking plane!! 😃 ---
