I heard they were planning a sequel, Snakes on a Treadmill, but it never took off.
My favorite: Star Trek IV is Whales on a Starship.
You, sir, have just posted the funniest one-liner I’ve read here in a long while.
Yes, yes indeed. Bravo.
And finally, to close out the brilliant trilogy: Snakes on a Plane on a Treadmill.
So Jackson isn’t playing a guy named Jack Snakes or something like that?
It is just a movie about Snakes on a plane?
Not since I watched The Robot Vrs the Aztec Mummy have I been so well prepared for the plot of a movie before seeing or hearing anything about it (aside from the title)
It’s so safe, there are no surprises. It’s almost comforting.
I think I might be ready for middle age
Oh Man, that Fark page is killing me.
“How the JEWS killed JESUS”
Pure comedy gold.
Somehow, I’m (mis?)remembering that the skit was actually supposed to be a fake ad for a movie called “Snakes on a Plane”.
Snakes on a plane? What a brilliant concept!
But what would you call it?!
Apparently not Flight 121:
“The studio tried to change the flick’s name to Pacific Air Flight 121 earlier this year, but star Samuel L. Jackson balked, saying the title was a big reason he signed on. . .”
I must say, I now have even more respect for Mr. Jackson. This even makes up for him appearing in three Star Wars movies without one solitary utterance of “Motherf**er!”.
There’s gotta be a Simpsons episode in the works with Sideshow Bob called:
Rakes on a Train.
Phrasal verbs that deal with place and motion can be confusing: traditionally you get on something relatively big, but get in something relatively small: you get on a train, but get in a carriage. You get on a ship, but get in a boat.
Thus at the end of Casablanca Rick tells Elsa to get on the plane, but in Raiders {an early instance of the aeronautical herpetology motif in cinema}, Indy has a snake in his cockpit. He hates snakes.
It’s still not as funny a title as Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Better than gold. Platinum.
I hope Sam Jackson gets the titular line.
You people just don’t get it.
It’s not just snakes. On a plane.
It’s Samuel L. Jackson!
and snakes!
on a plane!
CMC fnord!
So it’s allegorical, eh? Nothing to do with real snakes, real planes or real Samuel L. Jacksons.
That’s correct. It’s actually a metaphor for a relationship that this middle-aged married couple has, and strength of the bonds of intimacy they have with their oldest friends and their siblings, many of whom are terminally ill. That’s obvious from the title, though.
AWESOM-O: Okay, like you got this plane and there’s like snakes on it and Samuel L. Jackson is there.
Studio executive: Brillant!
