Mentions of Snakes on a Plane in both the New York and Los Angeles Times today. First the NYTimes is kind enough to let us know that some NBA players is CERTAIN that the situations in the movie couldn’t happen in real life. Second, the LATimes let’s us know that Snakes on a Plane was one of the Ten Moments that Shook the World (in 2006):
No, “Snakes on a Plane” did not go on to challenge “Titanic’s” box office record, but it did become the first studio release entirely championed, developed and, for a time it seemed, directed by film fans on the Internet. The moment when the movie’s cast and crew went back to the cameras for Internet-ordered, gore-boosting re-shoots will go down in history as the first time the Web grabbed the production reins away from movie producers.
Also, Time announced it’s person of the year as “YOU” (referring to me). In reality, I’m a tad disappointed that this site wasn’t mentioned. Clearly this was my ONLY shot to be person of the year… it’s not like I’m going to cure cancer anytime soon. If you can mention LonelyGirl15 a dozen times, surely you can mention me once. Oh well.

darn. That was so close.
