I thought the quote below was entertaining enough to share, in spite of the language. Hope it doesn't offend anyone...

quote:
On June 3, 2006, Samuel L. Jackson said, while presenting the award for best movie at the MTV Movie Awards, "I'm here tonight to present the award everyone's been waiting for: best movie. Now, this award holds a special place in my heart because next year I'll be winning it for Snakes on a Plane. Now I know, I know that sounds cocky, but I don't give a damn. I am guaranteeing that Snakes on a Plane will win best movie next year. Does not matter what else is coming out. The New James Bond... no snakes in that! Ocean's 13... where my snakes at? Shrek the Third... green, but not a snake. No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called Mo' Motha-fuckin' Snakes on Mo' Motha-fuckin' Planes."

"Snakes on a Plane" should win an award for the worst movie title ever. I guess whoever was in charge of naming it wasn't very creative. He/She kept asking himself/herself, "Self, this movie is about snakes on a plan. What should I name it?"

They were going for the "bad horror movie" vibe when they stuck with the title; the title itself has generated huge publicity for the movie. As I type this, in downtown Boston, out my offic window I can see a plane flying a banner that reads: "Snakes + Planes = In Theatres Friday Aug 18th" .

More here about the movie and the title:

I guess the Dept. of Homeland Security doesn't check passenger luggage for snakes.
