    "Snakes on a Plane" -- Could this turn out to be one of the worst movies ever?

    My brother was telling me about this movie today. I thought he was kidding. Much to my surprise this movie is for real.


    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417148/

    Lord help us all.

    By the way -- I think you have to be registered to read the posts -- but check out some of the threads on the message board for this movie. It's hilarious stuff.

    Can't be any worse than this .

    Plot Outline: A dark comedy about a character actor whose wish to be a leading man comes true when he magically begins to photograph as John Stamos, provoking the unholy wrath of Stamos.

    I didn't see it, but it just has to be fantastic.

    We had a thread about this a while back. Same sentiment on terribleness.

    Sometimes a movie is so bad, I actually kind of enjoy it. This certainly sounds like it could be one of those. Samuel L. running around a plane trying to kill snakes and whatnot, dropping one-liners, calling the snakes motherf***ers. Does this make sense to anyone?

    I saw Samuel L. Jackson on a talk show and they were going to change the name. He told them he took the movie because he liked the name.

    Standard 2000's type movie. If it's not a remake it's one with no story. Hollywood is out of ideas.

    I had no clue you made that post last month. Did not see it. Guess great minds think alike.

    Anyway, this movie I think could be pretty decent, if they had made it a dark comedy. But it appears it is serious, which means it will probably be a complete and utter trainwreck.

    Holy sh-t. Samuel L. Jackson? Rachel Blanchard? These are actors I've heard of...in a movie that sounds like Fear Factor. I'd rather watch Samuel L. get pissed off and curse people out. IT'S HIS BEER! By the messages on the boards it seems like no one else thinks too highly of this film either.

    This just in...New Line has listened to the fans. There's now a point in "Snakes on a Plane" where Samuel Jackson in his best Sam Jackson voice screams: "Get these mothaf***in snakes off this mothaf***in plane!"

    That's exactly right. I don't think i've seen a single Sam Jackson movie that I haven't liked at least moderately. He's had his own personal stinkers, but compared to some other actor's stinkers, they're pretty good.

    This movie will be really scary to me, but just because of my extreme phobia of snakes.

    If it was anything else, I would be with you guys on how terrible it would be. But with snakes, I really will be scared.

    I guess I'm like Indiana Jones.

    Snakes are scary, but I'm much more scared of bugs. I can't even watch that scene in "Temple of Doom"

    I can't believe what I'm reading in these posts. I can't believe that you guys think this movie will be anything short of brilliant. Its the most original idea in years and the lead role is filled by one of the finest actors of our time. Snakes on a Plane will likely go down as one of the finest films in the history of film making.

    Sharks actually can and do jump out of the ocean. They have documented it, and i've seen it on Shark Week. It's awesome.

    I'm not saying the scene in the movie was realistic, but those were GENIUS sharks!

    I'm not bashing it. I haven't been to the movies yet in 2006, but there's no way I'm not seeing SoaP on the big screen.

    Of course, if this move becomes a surprise hit, we can expect a bevvy of copycat movies...

    Sharks On a Ship
    Trout On a Trolley
    Cats On a Cruise
    Tuna On a Tram
    Slugs On a Ship
    Starfish On a Steamboat
    Sharks On a Shanty
    Jellyfish On a Junk
    Alligators On an Airship

    All, of course, starring Samuel L. Jackson...

    I hate that tots joke more than any other one from that movie! Sorry, saying "tots" in a weird voice is not funny! I was going to mention how I extra-hate that one, but I figured people would just start mentioning it left and right to drive me up a wall... but it still gets mentioned! Ahhhhh, I'm drowning in the Napoleon Dynamite crap!!!!!

    NOOOOO TOTS!!!!!!! DEATH TO TOTS!!!!!!!


    (...and the funny thing is I actually love tots in real life, I just hate that damn joke out of that damn movie )
