metaquotes -- heard of a little movie called Snakes on a Plane.
Yes, Snakes on a Plane. It's the perfect title. Although as was pointed out in the comments onmetaquotes, you've now officially all been spoiled. I'm truly sorry.
In any event, it stars Samuel L. Jackson and, if this picture is any indication, what looks like Kenan from SNL and the Wayans brother no one thinks is funny. (By the way, in verifying whether that was Kenan or Kel since I'd forgotten, I discovered Ken Foree of Dawn of the Dead was on Kenan and Kel. So I guess starring in a cheesy skit show with those two is ... sort of like fighting zombies.) And also, Julianna Margulies. Oh, and also David Koechner, who I saw last weekend in The 40-Year-Old Virgin being a perv at a sex clinic.
I'm already going to see this movie come hell or high water simply for the title, but if David Koechner survives the trip and Samuel L. Jackson -- much like in Deep Blue Sea -- is suddenly and surprisingly swallowed by a python after several tense hours of work for the python in the first part of the movie, I'll go see it twice.
I can't decide whether I think this is going to suck or going to be fantastic. On one hand, it apparently features an assassin so inept that instead of spiking his victim's expensive tiny bottle of liquor with Drano or using a blowdart or something, he lets loose a box full of snakes on a plane. This requires special levels of ineptitude, because --
1. The snakes covering Kenan in that photo? Yeah, not so poisonous if I'm remembering correctly. So obviously he tossed in a few extra. Maybe the snakes just like plane rides.
2. By flipping open the box of snakes on the plane, he is also now trapped in a plane full of snakes. Funny how that works.
2b. ... unless he follows letting the snakes loose by putting on a parachute and leaping from the plane, or locking himself in the bathroom. Then again, if I had just let a box of snakes loose on a plane, I'd lock myself in the bathroom. See, now I've let loose poisonous snakes AND taken away the only bathroom.
3. He has let loose a box of snakes on a plane with Samuel L. Jackson, who I think we all know speaks Parseltongue and can control snakes, a trick taught to him by none other than Vin Diesel on the set of xXx.
Anyways, on the other hand, who would have thought the best movie I'd see all summer was The 40-Year-Old Virgin? With a title like that, I should have turned away from the box office before I even got there, and yet I went and saw it and laughed hard enough to cry for two straight hours.
I should also point out that Samuel L. Jackson's best work is in B-movies like this. He's cool like that.
He's also going to be in a movie called Afrosamurai. Obviously, he wins at life.
In summation ... Snakes on a Plane. And a new icon. (Gackable as always. :))
