Will Snakes on a Plane still open next week?

[uppityperson]

If they don't open, I will be greatly angered (ie royally pissed). I can already hear it "It's too soon after 8/10" "It will frighten people more", etc. If Snakes doesn't open, the Terrorists have WON!!!11

1. I heard the name was going to change to something even scarier

"Gatorade and Toothpaste On A Plane"

[uppityperson]

4. Lipstick on a Plane!

just when you thought it was safe.

I wonder if the timing of this raised alert was real or they wanted it to come out well before SOAP because if it was around the same time or shortly after they wouldn't have been taken as seriously as they have?

18. ROFL

That one's very funny.

2. That's a motherfucking snake! You can't put snakes on a plane!

[dkofos]

3. Will they be bringing liquids onboard??

If so, GET THEM MUTHA-FUCKIN SNAKES OFF THE MUTHA-FUCKIN PLANE

[pooja]

5. I didn't write the plot.. but from the commercials...

it looks like cargo full of snake is put on the plane.. the box is broken and then snakes everywhere. I don't know why the pilots don't just land the plane somewhere... unless they are flying over the ocean.. but it actually looks kind of tacky and I'm surprised Jackson would appear in a movie like that.

6. Good summary of why he is doing it-tackiness

we must laugh or else we will run out of tears.

7. They're flying over the Pacific. Nowhere to land.

And Jackson appeared in it solely because it was cheesy.

8. He's the reason it's a movie at all

as opposed to be a crap made for SciFi channel flick.

9. He signed on because of the title

The studio at one point tried to change it and he protested. He mentioned in interviews that his next project would be called "Snakes On A Plane" and it started getting heavy buzz. The studio had no choice but to keep it.

Why did he do it? SLJ has said that once in a while he enjoys doing trashy crowd-pleaser flicks. And he's got quite a repetoire. For every "Pulp Fiction" or "Jackie Brown", there's a "Loaded Weapon" or "Die Hard 3".

10. it better be!

travelers will need some comic relief from the headaches of flying

11. I do wonder about the "terror"/SOAP timing though.

pre-Soap people take it more seriously?

15. Samuel L. Jackson is AQ's choice for Best Actor

If you vote for SLJ for Best Actor, AQ wins.

19. Show it as an in-flight movie!

It'll take people's minds off the fact that they're slowly turning into Spongebob out-of-his-element, and that their toothpaste and mouthwash are now being sold on eBay instead of being used to get that feeling of the 3rd Army marching across their tongue out of their mouth.

(On edit: Subject-verb agreement is important!)

12. I hope so. Make America laugh.

[MrCoffee]

13. Now I'm truly scared...I Want My Snakes on a Motherfuckin Plane!

It's a documentary about Air Force One, right?

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. Sure

No Shakes On A Plane though.

[lonestarnot]

16. It better! I want to see that motherfucking snake on a plane!

17. "The Boa Constrictor

when you absolutely positively have to crush every muther fucker in the plane"

20. If it doesn't open the terrorists have won

[MessiahRp]

21. This movie is going to be a huge cult hit...

The buzz around it is amazing considering how silly the premise and name is and how bad the special effects look. Credit Samuel L Jackson for making anything watchable.
