Empire Magazine in the UK has a little crush on Snakes on a Plane. Here’s a story they ran two weeks ago:

I still do movies that I think are going to be fun. I do read scripts that are serious in tone that may or may not speak to some social issue but yeah, I’m still that guy that likes to go to the movies that sees myself in something that’s kind of mindless and exciting. Cause I don’t want to go to work every day and have to ruminate and have to deal with all these things about human frailties and all that stuff all year long. I’m not going to do a heavy movie all year long. I don’t make the conscious choice and say alright I have to do a big studio film that’s about nothing and I have to do a great independent film that’s kind of deep and now I want to do something that has social relevance. Things that come across my desk are things that come across my desk and as they are ready to go, I say “Ok I have that time and I’ll do them.” But I still want to do films like “Snakes on a Plane” that people just come to the movie and they’re just going to sit there and go “Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!!!!!!” And they don’t have to worry about “what did he mean when he screamed like that”, you know. But there’s a snake there and it’s going to bite him. “Aghhhhhh!” I still like doing that stuff! So I’m not sitting around making, “while I’m older now and I need to mature a bit and I need to do something serious.” I know actors like that.
