Snakes On A Plane has created an enormous internet-based buzz based entirely on its title and mind-numbingly simple premise. Samuel L. Jackson plays an FBI agent who escorts a witness on a flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. The witness is a former member of the Mafia and is preparing to testify against his former associates, so an assassin manages to get a time-release container of 400 snakes onto the plane. Chaos ensues.
Regardless of how the movie actually impresses upon its future audience, the film’s unprecedented internet buzz seems to point towards Snakes On A Plane becoming the coolest cult movie since The Stuff or Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes except that instead of the slow Sisyphusian ascent towards cult status, the buzz for this film is being created before its release.

My kids actually want to see this movie. Me? I’d never fly again.
The Stuff or Attack of the Killer TomatoesArmy of Darkness good.
Damn formatting.
What I meant to say was:
‘The Stuff’ or ‘Attack of the Killer Tomatoes’?
I hope this is ‘Army of Darkness’ good.
I can’t wait for this one. Snakes on a Plane is the Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie of our generation, and anyone who doesn’t see it at least twice will be beaten without mercy.
This movie is so cool it is sending shockwaves of cool along a maxed-out tachyon-channel from the future.
You are SO mocking me, aren’t you?
Au contraire.
