Dude you have my email address already.

Heres my question for SLJ:

Do you feel getting eaten by a shark in Deep Blue Sea has prepared you for a re-match with another killer from the animal world, namely Snakes On a Plane!!!!!???

“Now what was it, exactly again, that was on the motherfucking plane?”

Even before the highly-anticipated release of SoaP, the word is abuzz with sequel talk. Where would you, as the star of a potential franchise, like to see further installments go? Would there be more snakes, with something like Snakes on a Train or Snakes on David Blaine–or would you go with a different animal/mass transit vehicle combination?

Thanks, and congrats on being in two “Snake” movies this year!

We’ve done “collaborative interviews” on our site before, and they work well. There are a couple of questions we always ask our interviewees, and the answers are always awesome.1) Who’s your favorite Beatle?2) How do you feel about root beer? Why?We need to have the answers to these questions.And more to the point: does he ever get tired of people expecting him to say “motherfucker” in every single film he does? Like, when someone says, “Sam, right here, instead of saying ‘I’m going to blow your head off, cocksucker!’, could you change that to, ‘I’m going to blow your motherfucking head off, motherfucker!’?”, does he cringe?Keep up the good work.

Let me try that again. Seems SoaB doesn’t like html formatting in comments.

We’ve done “collaborative interviews” on our site before, and they work well. There are a couple of questions we always ask our interviewees, and the answers are always awesome.

1) Who’s your favorite Beatle?

2) How do you feel about root beer? Why?

We need to have the answers to these questions.

And more to the point: does he ever get tired of people expecting him to say “motherfucker” in every single film he does?

Like, when someone says, “Sam, right here, instead of saying ‘I’m going to blow your head off, cocksucker!’, could you change that to, ‘I’m going to blow your motherfucking head off, motherfucker!’?”, does he cringe?

Keep up the good work.

I know for a FACT that there are three reasons I’m seeing this movie: Sam Jackson, the internet, and the Title “Snakes on a Plane”.
How important was the title to you in your decision making to commit to Snakes? I mean, if you were to see this story with a title other than SoaP would it make it easier or harder for you to dedicate your time?

Oh Man. A chance to ask Samuel L Jackson questions. I’ll never get this chance again probably, so I’m gonna try to make these good.

#1. As we all know, you didn’t even read the script before wanting to be in the movie, based on the title alone. After actually reading the script, did you fall in love with this movie even more?

#2. You’ve gone up against both Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, and Sharks in Deep Blue Sea. Did that help you prepare for battling poisonous Snakes? Also, are there any other animals you’d like to go up against?

#3. We all loved your promotion of the movie during the MTV Movie Awards. We all agree with you as well. Besides Best Movie, do you think Snakes On A Plane will win any other MTV Movie Awards? How about an Oscar?

#4. Now, a lot of the Snakeonaplaniacs out there are planning some kind of Snake-related plans for opening day, like wearing the shirts and possibly bringing rubber snakes. Do you have any Snake-related plans for the premier?

#5. After this movie, do you think airlines will now add “checking for snakes” part of their security search?

#6. A lot of fans have made custom trailers for SoaP. Have you seen any of them? If you have, do you have a favorite, or one you remember of the top of your head?

#7. All of the Samuel L Jackson fans out there are looking forward to your anime series, Afro Samurai. Are you interested in doing any more anime?

#8. Have some of your friends, fellow actors, etc, made fun of you for doing this movie? If so, was your responce to them, Itssssss Fun….Motherfucker??

Well, that’s all I can think of for the moment. I’ll try to think of more!

Mr. Jackson, do YOU have the biggest ’snake’ of all?

I’d be curious to know who, if anyone (writers, actors, directors, studio executives) took this idea seriously at first, and how long before they realized that they were instead making a brilliant joke?

Oh, any regrets or disappointment about doing the Star Wars prequels, given how lame they are?

Sam,

Can you confirm or deny the rumor that the additional days of shooting SOAP added the scene where you exclaim “Hiss my ass, motherfucker” and then blow the plane up with a rocket launcher?

does your contract include a fee for each time you say “mother fuck[er/ing]” ?

ok, serious question:

there is no doubt that for every dollar spent advertising this movie, there has been utterly priceless, and yet free, advertising from the online community. there are any number of fake promotional images, audio clips, and even video trailers that contain copyrighted material.

do you think that the way that this movie has been promoted will finally show some studios how profitable fair use of copyright can really be?

hopefully this movie will not only bring us plane-loads of mother-fuckin snake goodness, but also teach some movie execs some important lessons.

Questions I would ask Samuel L. Jackson:

1) When you were first approached for this movie, did you have in mind any particular snakes you wanted as possible co-stars?

2) How much improvisation went on in front of the cameras between yourself and your snake co-stars?

3) The ultimate question: Ginger… or Mary Ann?

1. when did you first understand about the buzz for SoaP, one of the biggest in recent movie history?

2. why do you include your middle initial? (not that you shouldn’t.)

Maddox is going to be there at the Comic-Con. Why don’t you ask Samuel L. if he can kick his piratey ass? :)

1. Do you think the critics will love or hate Snakes on a Plane.?

2. How much of a factor was the internet buzz in deciding to add some gorier, nudier, profanier, and all around awesomer scenes?

3. Do you prefer SoaP or body wash?

How do you feel about the continuous hype on this movie, and do you think that it might die down at all by the time August comes around?

As a follow up question, how do you think the movie will do in theaters, based on what you’ve heard from fans and such?

1.) On the 1 to 10 “Scale of Badassery,” with 1 being “barely badass” and 10 being “Bad MoFo,” would you rate yourself an 11 or 12?

2.) Have you ever called Carl Weathers and said: “Sorry Carl, but I’m the real ‘action’ Jackson.”

1. Mr Jackson just how are you able to be SO BAD ASS?

2. If they are going to shoot a sequal, who would like to co star with you? Chuck Norris, Steven Segal, Van Dame, All 3 or would your presense alone be too bad ass for one movie?

3. What was it like working with all the snakes? Were you scared of them or were they scared of you?

4. Did you want to take any of the snakes home with you after shooting?

5. Have you written your Oscar acceptance speech for best actor yet?

After hearing about the five days of extra shooting and the fact that the script was originally written for a PG-13 movie, did you feel that the movie was improved by the changes made to give it an R rating, or did the changes just get in the way of the snake-fighting action?

How much fan-made memorabilia have you recieved for this film, and have you actually put any of your own money for something that just seemed too cool to pass up?

Was it harder to work with the real snakes used in the production of this movie, or with the CGI equipment?

What difficulties were particularly troublesome when acting using such unconventional and inherently untrainable animals?

In the footage released to benefit the Tagworld music contest, there is a scene n which it looks like you’re using a snake as a whip. As it is illegal to bring harm to animals for the purposes of making a motion picture, what did you use in that scene in place of an actual snake?

What was your favorite part of working on this movie?

Ok, thought of another one…

How many white people were yelled at by you in the movie?

Are there any plans for a sequel? Are you pushing for a sequel? Would you be willing to do one?

Are you afraid of any animals in particular, and do you think using that animal in said sequel would be a good or bad idea?

Oh yeah. One more thing.

Ask him if he would be interested in seeing a Snakes on a PLane video game come to fruitation. Tell him he should get on it.

Ask him if they have any merchandising planned, for example, action figures, video games, playsets, sex dolls, etc.

Does hollywood take itself to seriously sometimes? What do you think the snakes on a plane phenonemon down to?

What’s your favorite piece of fan art?

You know he looks at all of them.

Brian, can I tag along? Pleeeeeaaassssssseeeee??? I swear I’ll be good. (If not, I’ll see you there anyway.)

Anyways, I’ll be there for the public discussion, but for the private interview:

1.) If they do infact, make a sequel, how do you feel about working w/ Chuck Norris as kind of a buddy-cop sorta thing? Do you think that Quentin Tarantino and David Ellis will have to battle to the death for directing rights? And if so, who would win?

2.) What do you think the chances are of a SoaP animated series? What about a videogame (using new Nintendo Wii controller technology to taser virtual snakes in the face!)?

3.) How is it, exactly, that you are so bad ass? Is it genes, or did you inherit your powers through a horrendous accident involving gamma-rays?

4.) What is your professional oppinion on playa-haters such as Roger Ebert (forgive my horrible white-ness)?

5.) When can we expect SoaP action figures?

6.) Is it, infact, true that you are the Foot Fuckin’ Master?

Sam-
You say you chose Snakes On A Plane on title alone. Have you chosen any of your past movies on title alone? If so, which one?

these are just a few ideas i had i would dearly love it if you could ask sam question 7 as i love that scen in coming to america and feel sam should have been a bigger star sooner than he was, thank you.

1.dear motherfucker, i, like many fans of this film appreciate how motherfucking cool the snake whipping scene was and i was wondering if you would agree that it is the coolest motherfucking thing you have ever done on screen?

2.i was also wondering how you would prepare mentally for the now classic snake whipping scene, did you try to build up and store a lot of anger towards the snakes and only unleashing your anger as you whipped the snake in the air?

3.what was going though your mind as the snake was flying through the air above your head as you whipped it around the plane?

4 would you recommend using a snake as an impromptu whip in place of any other weapon?

5 if indiana jones was stuck on a plane with 500 snakes and no motherfucking whip do you think he would overcome his fear of snakes and use one as a whip to get rid of the other snakes?

6 if you where in a fight with MR T do you think you could beat him using a snake as a whip? if so what kind of snake would you need to beat MR T?

7 in coming to america, eddie murphy beats you up effortlessly using just a mop, do you feel that if you had a snake to whip him with, you would have prevailed?

Mr Jackson Sir,

Why did it have to be snakes?

Dear Sam Jackson,

1. Do you swear in private as much as you do in your movies? (In other words, if you had a dog, would you call it “motherfucker”?)

2. Would you do a co-op with Chuck Norris? “Chuck and Sam against motherfucking mutated monster bears in the woods” or something like that?

3. Speaking of Chuck Norris, you both have been parts of an internet hype. How does it feel to see your image around the internet and being used for various fan-arts and projects? When you see the many items you appear in and on, do you feel it is YOU being reflected there, or rather an image, detached from the actual personality of Samuel L. Jackson?

Are you going to tag Christina Ricci in your new film or not cause I gotta tell you, she’s begging for some alabama black snake.

Mr. Jackson, you’ve said that you chose to work on this movie from just looking at the title. It seems like you knew something that a lot of other people didn’t at the time. Did you have any idea how big this movie would get when you signed on? How big is this hype compared to other movies you’ve worked on?

Is it possible that your character in SoaP is really just Jules Winfield, out “roaming the earth” as he described at the end of Pulp Fiction? Is SoaP just another adventure in this character’s life? Both characters seem to be badass motherfuckers, and it is plausible that Jules’ destiny could lead him to help these people on this plane. What other character could possibly be more suited for a job of this caliber?

I’ll be there too at Dumbrella booth 1434. I can help you if you want!

When you approached this movie, did you ever think that it could just be another Deep Blue Sea. What made SoaP different? How are snakes more interesting than sharks to you?

Pirates or Ninjas??????????

What do you think is the religious or spiritual significance of snakes, on the one hand, and planes, on the other? Did your participation in this movie allow any spiritual insights or cause you to think differently about snakes or planes in the Bible?

What kind of movie should the viewers be expecting?

A horror film?

Or something a bit more absurd?

1) What about a trifecta….Sam, Chuck and Bruce?

2) Would you do a film with Paramount?

3) The critics will not get this movie. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rank….1)critical acclaim, and 2) critical success?

Question for SLJ: Can I have one of your SoaP t-shirts?

Mr. Jackson, do you feel a certain sense of responsibility being unequivocally the most badass motherfucker in the movie business today?

Mr. Jackson, do you have a date for the premier?

Red Carpet Hack Press Person

Mama Soap

1) What film awards can you see this movie winning?
2) What was your favorite snake on the plane? Least favorite?
3) Do you have a pet snake? If not, would you consider it? And if you got one, would you put it on a plane?
4) How do you feel about flying?
5) How many SoaP shirts (etc.) do you own? What merchandise would you like to see produced?
6) If there’s a sequel (e.g., Snakes on a Segway or Hippos on a Rowboat), will you agree to reprise your SoaP role for it? What would influence your decision in that regard–the animals, the mode of transportation, or the script in general?
7) Do you think SoaP will be one of the movies you’re most remembered for a century from now? The top 3? Or the top 5?
8) Are you a member of the Mile High Club? If not, would you like to be?

If you were a snake, what kind of snake would you be? :-)

Mr. L. Jackson:

Mr. Jackson:

Sir:

Over the span of your career, you’ve gone from being a man who can be defeated by a mop handle (Coming to America) to a man who can take down a snake in mid-strike with a taser. Is there any specific role or event that you credit for this change?

Or were you simply bitten by radioactive awesome?

I’d like to take this opportunity to curse the fact that the comment box didn’t recognize the strikethroughs on “Mr L. Jackson” and “Mr. Jackson”.

Mr. Jackson…
Did you suffer from OPHIDOPHOBIA (fear of snakes) before
SOAP.
If so do you feel your role was a therapeutic process of desensistization?

Mr. Jackson I have a black dog, but she’s is NO WHERE near as badass as you are…what do you think the problem could be?

Do you think this film will have a profound effect on the way the movie industry looks at “internet hype”?

Have you prepared an acceptance speech for when you win the GUARANTEED MTV movie award next year?

1. do you think eddie murphy would be able to take on the snakes effectively using his mop handle or do you feel whipping the snake around your head screaming motherfucker is a much more effective means?

2. if you had the chance to attack eddie murphy with a mop handle would you take it and if so would you beat him up even worse then he beat you while screaming motherfucker at him?

3. who do you hate more? eddie murphy, snakes or the shark in deep blue sea?

4. why is eddie murphy one unfunny motherfucker nowadays? and do you feel he deserves it after beating you up with a mop handle?

5. are you taking rubber snakes to the premiere?

6. at the premiere will you be playing any snake related pranks? for example will you rip a hole in your popcorn carton and slip your alabama black snake in there, then offer your wife some popcorn?

7. if there is anyone you would stick on a plane with 500 snakes who would it be and why them?

8. if answer to question 7 is not eddie murphy then ask:- why not eddie murphy since he beat you up with a mop handle?

9. this isn’t a question just a thing to say to see what kind of reaction he has:- LOOK OUT SAM THERE’S A MOTHERFUCKING SNAKE BEHIND YOu!!!!!!

10. what?

11. what?

12. what?

13. what?

A question for Samuel L.:

Did the snakes have respective names, or did you just refer to all of them as “motherfuckers?”

Were the black snakes more badass than the white snakes and if so, do you think it was because of genetics or upbringing?

Brian , is there any actor more intimidating to do a Q&A with than Samuel L. Jackson? I feel for you.

I would be shitting my pants even talking to the man, so asking some of these ridiculous questions from the internet seems kind of noble, sir.

If you’re not done sorting out your list, I’ve got some, but only one really pertains to the movie:

1) It seems like you’ve done just about everything one can possibly do in terms of range and genre in hollywood, but are there any people you would really love to work with that you haven’t yet? I would love, for instance, to hear a Kevin Smith rant coming from you in a flick.

2) I’ve started a small group to organize an epic Star Wars style line for Snakes on a Plane in Michigan. We’re hoping there are people camping out in other places as well. This may not impress you, having been IN Star Wars, but it’s one of the things we’re looking forward to most this summer. Part of the plan for the line is to build a giant snake, similar to those Chinese dragons with people in them. Er, I guess this isn’t a question, I just thought you should know this.

Are there plans for Snakes on a Plane action figures? If so, what accessories should come with yours?

My questions are as follows:

1. Are there any plans in the immediate future for any Snakes-related spinoffs? As in, a TV miniseries or a sequel?

2. How much of the movie was actually concrete? As in, how many lines (excluding the infamous one) did you add in, and how much messing around with scenes did you do?

3. If you were on a real plane, and real snakes got loose, and someone was intending to kill someone, what would you do?

In “Kill Bill 2″ you were killed by the “Deadly Viper Assassination Squad”. Is Snakes on a Plane the movie where you will get your revenge?

What is the reason behind the title of your upcoming movie “Black Snake Moan”? Does this movie have snakes in it, and if so, are they on a plane?

At any point in the film did you pull down your pants and yell “Motherfuckers, now THIS is a goddamn SNAKE!!!”??

You’ve worked with many esteemed actors and actresses in your time, including John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Eawan McGregor. But who’s more badass: them or Keenan Thompson of Kenan & Kel fame who is in short a god?

1.) What movies does Sam Jackson like - what is your all-time favorite movie that you do not appear in?

2.) If you are at liberty to say, of the movies that you appeared in, which one is your favorite and why?

3.) English, motherfucker - do you speak it?

oops - i used the wrong format above. That SHOULD have read Mr. Jackson, do you have a date for the premier?

Red Carpet Press: “Mama SoaP, who are you wearing?”

Mama SoaP: “I’m wearing Samuel L. Jackson. Thank you.”

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*faints*

he’ll be sitting beside david ellis, right? can you ask the director guy if he still talks to bruce james and if it’s true that the flight attendant will be playing the silver surfer in fantastic four 2 please?

1. If you were a venomous snake, who would you bite?
2. (Similar to a question above) Parseltongue, motherfucker! Do you speak it?
3. What were the most amusing snake incidents on set?
4. What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
5. What would you recommend passengers do in the event of an onboard snake attack?

I really, really, really want action figures–a plane, passengers, Samuel, little snakes…the whole deal. Someone must make this, or I’ll put a snake on their plane. Seriously. I’ve got friends…

6. From now on, will you write and pronounce your name as Ssssssamuel L. Jacksssssson?
7. Would you ever consider changing your middle name to “Motherfucking”?
8. Do you think America is emotionally ready for a “fun” terrorist/airplane film? Do you think, perhaps, that Snakes on a Plane will actually be _healing_?

How bout “will you sign this penny arcade poster that i got for my very cool former roommate because he asked so very very nicely” =)
I’ve always been impressed by how big this got and how very cool it all is, but until I read this post, I hadn’t been jealous. Well done man, this is awesome.

will you be my friend, and if I was on a plane full of motherfucking snakes would you save me?

Since I’m going to be at Comic-Con too, could you possibly find the time to record an outgoing voicemail greeting for me?

You’re free to swear as much as you want.

Thanks, Mr. L. Jackson! You’re the best!

This film seems to have taken on a unique style. When it first came out, it seemed to be a thriller, but now, with the added scenes to please the fans, no one really knows what to expect. What movies would you compare Snakes to, in terms of its tone, genre and theme?

What was ur first reaction to the rise of Snakes on a plane’s madness on the net.

Do you think Al Qaeda might give Snakes on a plane a try?

And Is it illegal now to bring snakes with you on a plane? (Just wondering)

–plus how about making the sequal Snakes on a bus (the same bus that was in the Speed movie)

“And Is it illegal now to bring snakes with you on a plane?”

That rule won’t change. It would devastate the pet/breeding trade.

If we want to talk about actual snakes on actual planes, let’s talk about Delta Dash, which frequently ships large quanities of snakes around the country.

Back to the questions:
1) What are your biggest fears? In other words, what would be _your_ Snakes on a Plane? Spiders at a Great Height?
2) If a sequel’s made, what actors would you most like to work with on it? (Hint: Choose Bruce Campbell.)

*chuck norris

what truely, honestly decided you to star in Snakes on a plane?

1) You worked with Chris Chelios on a short hockey bit (Inglewood Jack) a while ago. Are you a hockey fan? What’s your favourite team?

2) If you were a snake, what kind of snake would you be?

[...] Samuel L Jackson once said to me: “Dorian my brother. If you is tired of jokes you is tired of life, you dig?” He was sharing a gin with me while I was on tour in Las Vegas (a busman’s holiday if you like) driving a tour bus for Celine Dion. Great days. [...]

When will you be working with Quentin Tarrantino again?

Of all the times you’ve died in movies, what’s your favorite?

How difficult of a movie was Snakes on a Plane to make? What’s the most difficult scene you had to shoot?

How do you feel about the online reaction to Snakes on a Plane?

If you weren’t in the movie, who would you cast as Neville Flynn?

Why did Mace Windu have a purple lightsaber?

Why do you tend to be attracted to “tough guy” roles?

You’ve used the word notably in a decent amount of your words. How do you feel about your association with the word “motherfucker”?

Could you talk for a bit about your other upcoming projects? What are you going to be working on in the coming years?

What’s in your pockets?

My email is Burkshifter@gmail.com. Just send it to that, if you get to these questions.

My question to you will be: Is he really as cool as he’s rumored to be?

Thanks,

Casey Cosker

I’m sure he’ll have a gun in his pocket (you know, incase there are any snakes around). But I have a question for Brian; Are you going to interview Sam at the panel discussion infront of everyone, or will you get to have a private interview with the Man Himself? (I of course use capitols here because that’s the name he was given at birth.)

I will be talking with SLJ in two settings. First at a “roundtable” with a collection of other bloggers but no audience. I will then talk to him one on one for ten minutes. I’m still pretty terrified.

Kinda off topic, so please forgive me, but I had to share this:

For those of you who believe Samuel L. Jackson is GOD–we now have proof–or at least, a lead:

http://tinyurl.com/qqwop

Ha! “I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and fuuuuurious anger!!”

How would you feel about marketing Snakes on a plane condoms?

[...] Ok, everybody, in addition to Samuel L. Jackson, I will also be sitting down with David Ellis for five minutes and with the snake wrangler (I believe it’s this guy) for five minutes.  What should I ask them? [...]

Not really a question, but don’t forget to tell Sam Jackson that he’s DCLugi’s bro. Or yours. Heck, he’s everyone’s bro! ;-)

I am curious to hear the answer to “matt”’s question.
(Do you ever get tired of having to say fuck…?)

Especially since with this movie he actually had to reshoot a scene even after initial filming was done, just because people were dissappointed when he didnt say it in the original cut.

Does he feel like being expected to say that word does something to his image? Or is it all in the fun of movie-making?

What does he think about how the internet essentially sold this movie, building interest, and garnering the huge following that will now be making it make bank?

What comic is he now reading? Favorite?

Do you see this as more of a Horror flick or a dark comedy?
Was it fun using a snake as a whip?
Did you get bitten on the set at anypoint?
Do you now own a pet snake?
In most of your interviews you have said that you are a humble relaxed golf lover. In most of your movies you play a loud mouthed tough guy. How is this transition possible?
Do you enjoy saying motherfucking?
Did you enjoy saying the fan suggested line and how much time did you put into getting it just right?

[...] The word on the street today is Ophidophobia. I hope TSA and Northwest Airlines have herpetological screening in place and that no pythons or adders or craits find their way into my carry-on! [...]
