Snakes on a Plane is due in theaters this Friday! The title alone was released last year, without a script or cast. The internet went wild with the idea, and the enthusiasm built exponentially. Fans did their own versions of the script, movie trailers, and of course, parodies. Those who were in on the joke in the beginning are tired of the hype by now, but there’s a ton of folks on the net who don’t visit those sites the way I do. Now think about it. Just a title, but its such a wild idea, and the best titles give you an idea of whats going on in the movie. From the title, everything else fell into place. Take Alien, change it from a science fiction to an action movie, put Samuel L. Jackson in it, and you can take it to the bank. Laughing all the way, I’m sure!

The short version of what you need to know about SoaP.

See the trailer.


How did this all come about? How Hollywood works.

Snakes on a Plane is not for children.

Send a message to all your loved ones about Snakes on a Plane. I received this on my cellphone. I wanted to make a version to include here, but for some reason, I couldn't get Samuel L. Jackson to say "Miss Cellania" or "Naked Cowboy".

The Seven Deadly Sinners have had fun with snakes on .. everything. See snakes on a train, snakes on a drain, snakes on a rein, snakes on a mane, snakes on a brain, snakes on romaine, snakes on Cobain, snakes on a stain, snakes on gold chains, snakes on a pull chain, snakes on Mustaine, shakes on a plane, and snakes on a Bane.

I am fully aware of how the last paragraph sounds like Green Eggs and Ham.
I do not like snakes on a plane,
I do not like them in the rain,
I do not like them on a train,
I do not like them in a drain,
I do not like snakes on a plane.
And this here poem gives me a pain.

Last week’s terror alert inspired some more Snakes on a Plane fun.

The Enchanted Snake

It was spring in the old west. The cowboys rode the still snow choked trails looking for cattle that survived the winter.

As one cowboy's horse went around the narrow trail, it came upon a rattlesnake warming itself in the spring sunshine. The horse reared and the cowboy drew his six-gun to shoot the snake.

"Hold on there, partner," said the snake, "don't shoot- I'm an enchanted rattlesnake, and if you don't shoot me, I'll give you any three wishes you want."

The cowboy decided to take a chance. He knew he was safely out of the snake's striking range. He said, "OK, first, I'd like to have a face like Clark Gable, then, I'd like a build like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and finally, I'd like sexual equipment like this here horse I'm riding."

The rattlesnake said, "All right, when you get back to the bunk house you'll have all three wishes."

The cowboy turned his horse around and galloped at full speed all the way to the bunk house. He dismounted on the run and went straight inside to the mirror.

Staring back at him in the mirror was the face of Clark Gable.

He ripped the shirt off his back and revealed bulging, rippling muscles, just like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Really excited now, he tore down his jeans, looked at his crotch and shouted...

"Oh My God... I was riding the MARE!

The Bunny and the Snake

Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. By surprising coincidence both were blind from birth. One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit. Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, since I'm also an orphan, I don't even know what I am.”

"It's quite OK," replied the snake. Actually, my story is much the same as yours. I too, have been blind since birth, and also never knew my mother. Tell you what, maybe I could slither all over you, and work out what you are, so at least you'll have that going for you.”

"Oh, that would be wonderful," replied the bunny.

So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered with soft fur; you have really long ears; your nose twitches; and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny rabbit.”

"Oh, thank you! Thank you," cried the bunny in obvious excitement. The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over with my paw, and help you the same way you've helped me." So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked,

"Well, you're scaly and smooth, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be either an accountant, or possibly someone in senior management."

Then there’s the trouser snake joke.

Thought for today: It’s a title. It’s a concept. It’s a poster and a logline and whatever else you need it to be. It’s perfect. Perfect. It’s the Everlasting Gobstopper of movie titles. -a screenwriter with a blog, whose name I didn’t find
