This probably covers no new ground but I nearly wrecked the car laughing at the piece about S.O.A.P. on NPR: SOAMFP!

Hmmm. I was just reading about S.O.A.P.S. -- Superset Of All Possible States (astrophysics) -- the other day. Could there be a connection?

I want your bit with the naked flight attendant to be in the movie too! Maybe we can start a petition.

I'm curious as to how they'll inject more nudity into a movie titled "Snakes On A Plane".


Ever heard ot the "mile high club"?

Hopefully they'll get A New Found Glory or someone similarly wretched to record this for the closing credits.

Nah, they just need to re-record the Enterprise theme:

...You gotta have SNAKES!
Snakes on a PLaiaiain...

There was an article in the paper today on this movie.

"Then Snakes-lover Chris Rohan created an R-rated audio grailer with a Jackson sound-alike shouting 'I want these...snakes off the...plane!' Soon, fans demanded that the phrase also appear in the movie."

There you go, folks. Your fan power makes it happen.

He'd still be wearing the tie and pushing the beverage cart, of course.

I can't believe we went over 24 hours without mentioning this movie, so I'll step in.

What if, instead of Sammy the Man, we had Ice Cube and J-Lo as the stars?

Annaconda on a Plane!!!!

Maybe when the snakes will pilot the plane, it'll happen at the big climax of the film and those little critters will unintentiontally do something heroic as their bodies wrap around the controls (like accidentally make the plane go into a nosedive which throws the villain off balance and gives our hero a moment to kick his ass!)!

i'm bored. what's happening in the world of snakes on planes today?

Well it made it into the Daily Telegraph this week...

Much of the hype was sparked by the film's kitschy title and plot - 500 poisonous snakes are released on a passenger jet by an assassin trying to kill a witness in protective custody. Jackson plays the FBI agent who has to fight off the reptiles.

Lord...really? I had completely avoided reading a plot summary until this moment...the plot just didn't even factor into something I cared about with this movie....but...my god.

Bastards! I thought I was the first to get it into a UK paper today. Grrr. Mind you, I did manage to do it gratuitously with reference to a shit made-for-TV film, so I feel better.

How about this for a sequel:

Bats on a Boat.

Wait, that may not work so well.

I kind of like Badgers On A Segway.

Or Yaks In A Lift. I'm undecided.

(It was great when it was in the Telegraph- the night before I'd been going on about it at work, and everyone thought I was at best mad, at worst an utter cock. Then it showed up in the paper, and I felt vindicated. I'm pretty sure they still think I'm an utter cock, but my sanity is no longer under question).

That 'Badgers, Badgers... it's a Snake!' song needs to be on the soundtrack, clearly. And a major point of plot inspiration, mushrooms and all. Sam Jackson can unleash some bodybuilder badgers to fuck up the snakes!
And the Kinks' '(Wish I Could Fly Like) Snakes on a Plane'.

There was a Photoshop contest I saw somewhere recently where the best sequel idea was Camels On A Submarine. That said, Bats On A Boat is brilliant for its sonic qualities alone. I smell franchise here, really I do. Wolves On A Space Shuttle can complete the trilogy...

'Wolves on a Space Shuttle' is obviously the way to properly handle 'Pigs in Space!!!'

My friends and I are hoping for a midnight opening in our city, so we can show up dressed as commuters covered in snakes and wait in line.

Tigers In The Subway

[based on the idea of lethal natural predators in a small confined space where such natural predators are never ordinarily found]
 
 
Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero

But none of these really capture the terrible fatality of Snakes On A Plane. Murphy's Law dictates that the pilots would be the first to succumb, which means that not only are you stuck in a giant lipstick tube several thousand feet in the air with no one on board able to fly/land such a craft but there are also, of course, Snakes On A Plane.

Tigers On A Subway would be terrifying, but at least the subway isn't going to plummet two miles through the sky to fiery doom.

They haven't released this yet have they? Then it's not too late for someone to remember that they've got a mongoose stowed in the overhead compartment! It'd save the day! It'd be stupendous! Or stup(something). Good thing I'm not a screenwriter. There are others about whom I wish the same thing.

Tigers in the Subway is almost as good as Snakes on a Plane. The idea kinda reminds me of a scene from American Werewolf in London.


Scorpions in your Underpants!!!(scary, huh?)

But none of these really capture the terrible fatality of Snakes On A Plane.

well what about we ditch the camels, and have spiders on the submarine? Imagine the terror of being poisoned by millions of spiders in a sinking submarine, thats also out of oxygen?

It'd be like Arachnophobia meets Das Boot.

Sharks in the Pool

Roachs on the Hottub

Badgers on Barbelith (that's not really new)

Grant Morrison on Alan Moore's hair (that oughta be funny)

Help me out, people. How about we name classic movie that could benefit with more snakes in the plot? I'll start.

Snakes on Godfather Part III
