I just heard about Snakes on a Plane! I guess there is a big Internet buzz on this incredibly ridiculously great/bad movie. I think the whole thing sounds like a lot of fun. What say you? ---

_Snakes on a Plane_ sounds like an exciting thrill ride of an action movie. But _Snakes on a Plain_? Sounds kinda flat, to me. ---

Funnily enough, the college where I repair computers is next to a plain. Today the groundskeepers had a hard time catching a snake on campus. Early, I was not sure what it was, I glanced at something going into a bush when walking from building to building, those things move fast! later, by the screams outside, then I realized what it was. Based on what the faculty told me, it was possibly a Night Snake. ---

I read somewhere that, in the sequel, Samuel L. Jackson’s character has broken the snakes, gotten control of them, and rides them to roam the countryside in search of adventure. I believe the preliminary title is: **Snakes On A Rein**. ---
