    Has anyone heard about this movie, starring Samuel L. Jackson?

    Google it, you'll be glad you did.

    Fan frenzy for "Snakes" is on a different plane

    Jackson stars as an FBI agent who has to fight a planeload of snakes unleashed by an assassin bent on killing a witness in protective custody.

    Sight unseen, the movie has grown from something of a joke into a phenomenon slithering untamed throughout the Internet.
    As a movie whose fan base has grown spontaneously and organically, "Snakes" is relatively rare...

    It all started with the provocative and buzzworthy, if also reductive, title. New Line picked up the script after Paramount put it on the backburner in March 2003 -- in the wake of September 11, terror-on-a-plane movies had fallen out of favor. And even within New Line, there were skeptics who viewed "Snakes on a Plane" as nothing but a simple programmer with a "stupid title."
    After Jackson came on board, the title was upgraded to the more generic "Pacific Air Flight 121." The studio said it was a temporary moniker being used for "casting purposes." Executives were searching for something that was more thriller-like and less campy. According to sources, Jackson's camp also was in favor of a title change.

    "Who wants to be in a movie called 'Snakes on a Plane'?" asked one talent agent at the time, seeming to echo the studio's concerns.

    But once production began, a funny thing happened. Movie fans began noticing the black sheep of the New Line slate. They seized upon the title and created fan sites, blogs, T-shirts, poems, fiction and songs. The title itself, sometimes abbreviated as "SoaP," has emerged as Internet-speak for fatalistic sentiments that range from c'est la vie to "s--- happens."
    "The title is so clear and so straightforward," said Brian Finkelstein, a Washington, D.C., native who created the blog http://www.Snakesonablog.com and who hopes to score tickets to the movie's premiere. "You know exactly what you're going to get..."

    Speaking of Snakes on a Plane, I saw the movie for the first time about a week and a half ago on HBO, and I thought that the movie was really stupid.

    I know. I guess it had a few moments, but even for a cheesy, cult-film, it still was dumb imho. :p

    Not to diverge too much off topic, but I remember when I had all of the premium channels, like HBO, and there were MANY days 90% of what the channels were showing were movies I'm glad I didn't waste money on. "Snakes on a Plane" would be one of them. I don't even enjoy going to the movies anymore with how crappy most movies are these days (not to mention ridiculous ticked prices).

    This summer I actually went to two movies... Transformers and Die Hard With A Vengence. I thought they were both excellent.

    I'd rather watch those two than "snakes on a plane" i like Samuel L. Jackson's performance on "Pulp Fiction" better.


    Hooligan, who's Pete?

    Well if Hooligan doesn't mind me answering, I am pretty sure he is referring to the TV show The Adventures of Pete & Pete that was on Nickelodeon from 1993-1996. I used to watch that show all the time when I was younger. In Hooligan's avatar, the character is Little Pete Wrigley, who was played by Danny Tamberelli.

    Well, yeah, Pulp Fiction is a waaaaaaaaaay better movie than SOAP but SOAP has its cheesy charm.

    You hit the nail on the head there, my friend. My avatar is from the opening of the show during the second season. The Adventures of Pete and Pete was about two brothers with the same name, as Gamer03 already pointed out, my avatar is Little Pete, his brother was Big Pete, played by Michael C. Marona. It was my favorite show of all time. I've got the first two seasons on DVD but the third one is stuck in corporate limbo.

    How timely that this thread was just revived. I just watched it tonight. It was a free on demand movie. I'm glad I didn't pay anything for it becaus eit was a really bad movie. So bad that it was kinda good.
