Actual Footage from Snakes on a Plane. Oh Dear.
Filed under: Action, Thrillers, Fandom, Movie Marketing
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or
later. We all knew that, one day, we'd have to stop imagining the greatness that would be Snakes on a Plane, and be forced to submit to how the movie
actually was going to look. Well, friends, I'm in mourning, because that day is here. No more pretending that it's
going to be hilarious, campy fun. No more mental images of a plane, waist-deep in snakes. No more joy. No more fun.
From now on, it's just real footage of crappy, fake snakes, bad
acting, and the creeping realization that the movie was always going to suck, and not even in a fun way. Now, this isn't the full trailer or anything, so maybe I'm wrong - perhaps those reshoots Erik told us about are going to kick the whole thing up about 100 notches and turn it into the rocking flick of our collective imaginations. Right now, though? I gotta be honest. I feel like I might cry.

My suggestions for who ought to be aboard:
A female boa-constrictor dancer who froze up in front of a heckling crowd at Burning Man;
An evil developer who is paving up wetlands full of endangered you know whats.
A West Virginian snake-handler who lost his faith when his wife got chomped by a timber rattler: (He can die first: "Come here, you hell serpent!" But he dies in triumph, having mastered these diabolical creatures one last time.)
A kid with leukemia, accompanied by a hospital nun, who comforts the boy by telling him the story of St. Patrick
An imaginary St. Patrick only the kid can see (was he REAL? of course not....but, who, or rather, what, traced this shamrock on the mist of the plane window????)
A pathological Viet vet whose buddies got killed by cane vipers (he can freak out, being the one to first shout the title: "Snakes on a Plane!" )
The widow of a crocodile hunter type, whose husband perished on-camera from a Taipan bite.
A hero dog---a Mukkanese Cobra Hound, and thank god this particular beast is aboard.
Who else?

How about a woman who was terrorized by her kid brother putting snakes in her bed, until she secretly became the "snake lady", killing men by cutting off their "snakes" and making designer belts from them, which become very popular and chic. No one knows, though, what they are made out of or that she is the serial "snake hunter".

Why would anyone want to even come up with such a stupid idea for a movie. You might as well have a movie with a title like " Insane, Robotic Dogs From Hell With Rabies" The very idea and synopsis of this movie is horrible. Another waste of money for those who make it, and those who watch it.

I'm with many posters here...I'm loving this trailer. It's 'cheesey' and funny and I could see myself going with a bunch of my silly friends and screaming and laughing like crazy for an afternoon of fun. That's entertainment and I think it's high time a silly-scary film like this appears -- once in a while.....
