Snakes on Songs V

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

Everybody loved Subatomic Warp’s previous audio-trailer for Snakes on a Plane. Well this time they’ve written an actual song about everyone’s favorite film (well, apparently everyone but them):

SoaPSong by Subatomic Warp

“I like pleasure spiked with pain, but I’m not gonna go see Snakes on a Plane.” Aww, sad. Don’t let that get you down, though. The song is excellent.

Snakes in the News II

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Ok, I’ve stumbled across a few interesting new pieces about Snakes on a Plane. Here’s a roundup:

    • The Toronto Star had an excellent piece yesterday which fully understand the worth of the movie: “with Snakes on a Plane, what you think you’re going to get is exactly what get: A planeload of snakes. And who doesn’t love that?” Not only that, but they went on to mention you’re very own Snakes on a Blog as well as a couple other resources. They even produced their own fan script to give back to the online community: “Pilot: Repeat. We have snakes on the plane. 11-3. Over. Repeat. Plane full of snakes. (static) … Vector 10-3.7X. Snakes. Everywhere. Over. Repeat. Argggggg …
    • The George Washington University Hatchet had a piece about discovering the movie: “Every so often something comes along that shatters the conventional paradigms and alters the landscape around it to something unrecognizable. I have discovered that next revolution. It’s a new movie that I haven’t even seen yet due out in August entitled ‘Snakes on a Plane.’
    • Zap2it had a story I neglected from mid-August with some good quotes from Samuel L. Jackson on the plot: “‘I’m an FBI agent transporting a witness from Hawaii to Los Angeles. The kid has witnessed a murder by a gangster who personally killed somebody — stupid gangster — and the kid saw it,’ says Jackson. ‘In the middle of the ocean, this crate time releases and there’s 500 poisonous snakes in there and they scatter out all over the plane. We can’t go back and we’ve got to go forward. So it’s us battling snakes to LA.’ He pauses for emphasis and then reiterates, ‘Fighting snakes to LA.’
    • Wired had a story in the January edition that’s gotten a lot of attention in other places. The author didn’t seem to understand that Snakes on a Plane is anything but a bad title: “Not even the best marketing team can save a movie from a stupid name. Take New Line’s Snakes on a Plane. It doesn’t come out until August, but it’s already a laughingstock. That’s ok, my competitor/compatriot at Snakes on a Blog set him straight: ‘Snakes on a Plane’ is not ‘bad’. It’s not even ’so bad it’s good’. It is ’so good that it remains good’ which isn’t even a cliché. ‘Snakes on a Plane’ has the poetic simple beauty of the finest minimalist art.
    • Finally Variety had a nice piece in December: When it comes to titling films, Hollywood studios sometimes settle for the bland (’Prime’), the bizarre (’Zathura’) and the incomprehensible (’XXX: State of the Union’). Not so with ‘Snakes on a Plane.’

Phew, that was a lot. Well, enjoy them.




Snakes on Fan Art V

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Here’s a whole new bunch of posters from the template. These came from an open directory (apparently they first came from a Something Awful forum thread, but it’s archived and I don’t have a paid account. Thanks Alicia).

Snakes on a Helicopter does an excellent job of showing that Snakes can only adequately survive on so many flying vehicles. Both shirts are on sale at the Shelf Life CafePress shop. They are, of course, available in the usual CafePress range of styles.

Snakes on the Web III

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

I got two weird emails pointing me to two weird sites:

  • Jack Yan - this guy appears to be heavily concerned with self/cross-promotion, but he writes in his blog that his magazine, Lucire, will be featured in the in-flight seat pockets in the film.  Will Samuel L. Jackson use this magazine to beat back snakes?  Probably not, but it’s a unique piece of news for you.
  • Lethalville - Ok, I admit I don’t understand this one.  It’s a site that has nothing to do with Snakes on a Plane, but there’s a picture of snake on a plane in the temporary graphic.  The email which pointed me to the site talks about underground hip-hop and large rap-battles.   I don’t know anything about that, but there is indeed a snake on a plane  on the site’s graphic.

Snakes on a Comic VII

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Two quick comics, one from before Snakes on a Plane, one from after Snakes on a Plane. Both, oddly, seem to share the same amount of connection with the movie. They’re both, little off:

The first comic came from Two Lumps, the second from Off The Mark.
