Sounds like great MST3K fodder. Too bad they're not around anymore.

It will be either meh after the hype, so bad it's good or truly terrible. L. Jackson never was a great role-picker but I'm looking forward to this one.
Anyone see Jackson on The Daily Show yesterday? They showed a clip, and he does say this line.Atlasland said:
Rumor has it that the line was not originally in the movie, that it was just something that someone on the internet made up because it sounded "Jackson-ish"...but the line caught on and became so popular that the producers went back and shot a new scene specifically so they could incorporate that line into the film.
If that's true, it'd be possibly the first example of the internet driving movie production. How cool is that?
I think the coolest thing of all is that SLJ stood up to the producers when they were thinking of renaming the movie to something stupid like Pacific Air Flight 125 and said, "No, I took this role SPECIFICALLY because the name of the movie's Snakes on a Plane, and you will NOT rename it."Thomas Veil said:Anyone see Jackson on The Daily Show yesterday?

if you want to see it because you think it will be a great action thriller, then by all means you are stupidsunfast said:
. If you want to see it because it will be so bad that it will be funny, then no, your intelligence is not threatened in the least. Samuel L. Jackson is a funny man Anyone else going to the premiere at 10:00pm tonight? Some theaters are having special first showings of it tonight at that time? I'm going with my friends, it'll be a hoot.
I'm seeing it tonight .
I'm actually a little scared. The snakes look scary. I think I'll make it though - should be funny.

that is freaking ingenius... so awesome
saw slj on the daily show and while it's funny how everything is so marketed now, it still looks like it will be funny. kinda odd that the original director ended up getting fired, seems like kind of a bummer. but oh well
Got my tickets to see the first showing here at 10pm...Should be a fantastically good time. I think one of the best times to see it will be with a packed house, I think the audience will just have fun with it.
Don't laugh, but if this is movie is as high camp as it looks, I think it has "Rocky Horror Picture Show" potential. You know, midnight showings, people screaming, dressing up like characters and throwing phony snakes around the theater in the middle of the scariest parts....Deefuzz said:Got my tickets to see the first showing here at 10pm...Should be a fantastically good time.

SUCH A GOOD MOVIE
Lots of laughing occurred and cheering for Jackson. Everyone must go out and see this movie.
Absolute pure brilliance at its finest.
Can't wait to get the soundtrack and buy the movie when it comes out on DVD

Wow. Not that many reviews to date but Rottentomatoes is going nuts for it. When it shows up here I will have to go and see me some "************ snakes on a ************ plane".
I saw the very first show last night at 10pm. THAT S**T WAS CRAZY! It was everything i expected. Every little piece was just so bad, so amazing. That movie is a life changing event. Everyone was just going nuts in our theater with barrages of "WOO! SAMUEL L JACKSON" 's and bursts of applause at every climaxing scene or funny occurance. I urge you to see this movie

and probably the biggest, loudest cheering and clapping at an end of a movie I have ever witnessed.
Best. Movie. Ever!
