From Wikipedia's entry on Snakes on a Plane:

In another interview in early 2006, Jackson claimed that once he learned about the movie title being changed he said: "What are you doing here? It's not Gone with the Wind. It's not On the Waterfront. It's Snakes on a Plane!" On March 2, 2006, the studio reverted the title to Snakes on a Plane.

I have been laughing at this all day.





And this picture is killing me. The snake just looks like such a tragic hero, so martyred. "This...brute has me in his clutches! Somebody, help me!" I think it's the head tilt.

I will be seeing this tomorrow night. Believe it or not, it's actually rating something like 75% positive on Rotten Tomatoes.

Of course it is! It's muthafuckin' snakes on a muthafuckin' plane!

It's even funnier when you say it, maybe because you look as different from Samuel L. Jackson as possible.

I'm already signed to do the sequel. WASPs on a Plane. A bunch of drunken Skull and Bonesmen escape from First Class and start throwing their martini glasses at the steerage coach passengers.

Heh. In that case, you might like this.

I didn't go to the San Diego Comicon this year, so I didn't see it firsthand, but at the SoaP panel, someone in the audience asked Jackson if the snakes deserved to die. His response, yelled at the top of his lungs, was "Yes, they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!"

And that's why I love Samuel L. Jackson.

"I hope they burn in hell!"

That's AWESOME.
