The above is the tagline from an upcoming movie called "Snakes on a Plane" that is scheduled to come out sometime in '06. I know some of you "internet hipsters" have probably already heard of this back in August when there was a buzz because of the entry on a screenwriter Josh Friedman's blog. But, I just heard about it the other day; and since this is my blog, I'm going to mention it today.
The movie stars the incomparable Samuel L. Jackson as an FBI agent who happens to be on the plane for some reason. Maybe to catch the snakes? Perhaps to escort the snakes to their final destination? Who knows; I guess we'll have to wait for this summer. Here's a picture of Sam L. boarding the plane.
Of course the real star of the show here is the snakes. Here's a shot of rubber snakes crawling on Goodburger's own Kenan Thompson as he sits and ponders them. What exactly do you think the director's guidance to him was on this scene? "Look... puzzled."
The other side note about this film is that the title has started to become the new "Shit happens". For example:
Man 1: Hey dude, you just got your third parking ticket and they towed your car... Now you're going to be late for your big date!
Man 2: Snakes on a plane, man. Snakes on a plane.
See how easily it rolls off the tongue. I challenge each of you to incorporate it into your daily speech. Be using the next big thing before it's the next big thing. Alright, daisybreak you later.

Joel, I'm reading your blog for the first time and I have decided to bring 'Snakes on the plane' to the South African vernacular. I love it. I have actually heard that they may be changing the name of this film though...I actually heard it from Samuel Jackson's own mouth on an interview with a radio station in Seattle. He said that the only reason he did the film was because the title was so intriguing. Investigate......
Hello Joel & Jessica - I am also reading your blog thing for the first time. I don't have anything to say about snakes, but I did think this was a good forum to tell you that I finally got my bivy cover back from Dave Birie, just 2 years & 12 days after he "accidentally" stole it from me - and 36 hours before he redeployed to go to the Captain's Course. After I have confirmation he's left country, I will send it out to the medical laundry facility no less than 3 times. Keep it extra real.
