Irregular Webcomic does its own take on Snakes on a Plane, in mostly lego form.

I previously discussed that Epic Movie was going to contain a Snakes on a Plane parody sequence (here and here).  The video of that sequence has finally made it online — watch it.

From Final Curtain by R.T. Jordan, page 2:

“All I know is the new Sondheim musical is apparently so depressing it’s actually scaring away the Broadway tourist trade. They need a fun and familiar placeholder at the Palace Theatre until Snakes on a Plane: The Musical opens in February. The producers are looking at Mame.”

Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t a terrible idea?

Thanks Seth.

Angry Alien does Snakes on a Plane in 30 Seconds (with bunnies, of course).  I saw this first On Demand through Comcast (ironically), but it was apparently done originally for Starz.

Hey New Line, do you still read this blog?

I received an email today from somebody who wants to pitch you an idea.

Just thought you’d like to check out my article. This is something I hope to pitch to New Line, once I find a way to do so. (I.E., Once I can be assured they’ll take it seriously.)

In short, this documents the exploits of Team Mongoose 20 years after Flight 121, as they battle snakes, scorpions, alligators, and more all over the globe to take down the vengeful remains of Eddie Kim’s family. Since I’m a fairly good graphics compiler and writer but a lousy animator, I’m hoping New Line will buy this pitch and send it to an animation studio one day. I don’t know how much significance it will have to you, but I thought I’d show it anyway.

If you visit his webpage you’ll see that he has the entire first season loosely scripted.

I’d watch it.

I had this posted on my other site for a week before I realized that it mentions Snakes on a Plane and hence fits here. So, here we go, Internet People.

PostSecret, which incidentally is a great webpage, includes a Snakes on a Plane secret today:

The following image is from question #32 on page 265 of the introductory questions for Torts in the BarBri MPQ 2007 practice questions, multistate testing. When did the law get so cool?

The correct answer is C.

I’m giving a presentation at an upcoming London-based marketing conference (about which I’m terrified, but don’t tell them that) about blog marketing. To go along with my presentation, I’ve cobbled together a little video that compiles a some of the photos, videos and songs that I’ve featured on this site. I’ve put it up on YouTube for anybody’s amusement. Anyone who’s actually supposed to ATTEND the conference, shouldn’t watch the video… it would ruin the surprise. Enjoy:

I had to make this video while offline, so if I didn’t include a good piece of material, it’s probably because I didn’t have it stored on my own personal computer. Sorry about that. If I get a chance, I’ll come back and include links to the sources of the songs and videos… but it can’t happen tonight.

Rhymes with Orange.

Just a quick heads-up at a promotion going on at Damnation Inc:

Hey everybody,Spring is just around the corner (if you ignore the snow here in the northeastern US) and spring means t-shirt weather!

Here at Damnation headquarters, we’re trying to clear out some space and get some new designs by the time summer rolls around. And you can help out by buying some shirts! We’ve made it very easy and priced the popular Snakes shirt at $2! TWO DOLLARS! Yes, you need to buy 5 to get the price, but it’s still quite a deal, considering just one blank American Apparel shirt would set you back $15.

A clean Snakes shirt for every workday. Think about that. What an excellent idea. Other shirts have been marked down to $5 each. Poke around the site to find out.

In addition to the price drops, Paypal is also running a promotion: spend at least $30 through Paypal and get $15 back. Seems like a good deal, if you qualify. Here’s the link:

Voila.

I got this in my email a few days ago:

Hello. First, I love Snakes On a Plane. I do So much that it has become the subject of a 5 paragraph persuasive writing piece im doing in my english class. I need to Know Why Snakes on a plane is so awsome! I Have 3 reasons.

1. because sam jackson is in it
2. because people like the people at SOAB played a big part in the film (like advertising) and
3. Because it has the ultimate villain SNAKES!!

The Hard part about it from here is finding reasons why those resons made this movie awsome? Well Ill get to the point. Im not asking you to write my whole essay. But if it wouldnt be to much trouble oculd you supply me with some information thats goes with these reasons that might help me in my quest for an A. Thank you for your time and I hope to here from you.

Anybody feel up to helping him out?

Nintendo’s Wii lets you make Miis (basically an avatar that you can then use in your games). Irrelevant was kind enough to whip up a couple images of his Samuel L. Jackson Mii.

Yeah, his name is Sam MuthaF and he golfs.  I also put up a few images of his Bruce Campbell Mii if anybody is looking for more of this sort of thing.

While Snakes on a Plane didn’t receive any Oscar nominations, it appears to have snuck its way into the official marketing:

Who would have thought?

I bet you thought all the interviews were done, but I’ve got one last one for you. I got in touch with Keith Dallas who played “Big Leroy” (hell of a character name) in Snakes on a Plane and he agreed to do a quick interview. And to remind you of who he is, he included a few snazzy picture of himself on the set of Snakes on a Plane including shots of him with Samuel L. Jackson, Kenan Thompson, Elsa Pataky, David Ellis, Byron Lawson and more:

Snakes on a Blog: Tell us a little bit about yourself?

Keith Dallas: I was born in Jamaica, I’m a real simple dude, LOVE comic books, love martial arts movies, loved the Matrix, one of my favorite martial arts movies was called “Berry Gordy’s the Last Dragon”

SoaB: What effect has Snakes on a Plane had on your career?

KD: The effect snakes has had on my career hasn’t been all that much, I get recognized a lot from it, I get recognized a lot still from Romeo Must Die and other stuff I did. I’ve also booked 2 t.v. series that I’m one of the leads in, one is called blood ties and that’ll be out in march, you should be seeing the billboard on sunset one of these days and the others called intelligence, blood ties is about vampires and intelligence is about drug deals and mafia, that kinda thing.

SoaB: Your character’s name in the movie was Big Leroy, did you come up with
any sort of backstory for him? Or a last name?

KD: There’s no real back story on Leroy, he was homeboys with Triple G’s back in the day, mo better friends with the Troy character, oh yeah, they did come up with a last name for Big Leroy, Dubois, go figure, I dunno, I felt my chracter was important to state the fact that black people can be hurt in film and not die, we needed light comedy in the film, thats what I was trying to bring, also sometimes brothas have to work harder to make an impact and I think I kinda did, I went to the premiere, when I said that line “Now that’s what i’m talkin’ about,” Hollywood lost it, it was an uproar of laughter, I was shocked, I wasn’t really aware until my friends started coming up to me and telling me I was gonna be a star and how this movie’s following is phenomenall HUGE, that’s when I kinda started to go online and see some things, not much though, I actually started seeing more once the movie was over, like, I started actually really checking out these sites.

SoaB: Were you involved with any of the reshoots to bring the movie from a PG13 to an R? Did it improve the film?

KD: I was involved with the reshoots, I had to reshoot me getting bit and screaming, I tried swearing when that happened and David Ellis said we can’t swear we only have a like 2 swear words and I think we should give ‘em to Sam, I’m like, alright cool, then they called me to do the re-shoots and they’re like, swear your head offf, cuss like u ain’t cussed in your life, David fed me lines like “get this brokeback snake off my ass” “get this motherfuckin’ snake off me!” stuff like that, do I think it made the film better….100%

SoaB: Does Samuel L. Jackson swear as much in real life as he does in film?

KD: Sam Jackson in real life is a cool dude, for real, seriously a nice guy, but when he don’t want to be talked to, you know it, just by looking at him, he’s not shy to let you know he’s chillin’, nice guy, he cusses, but he knows how to be respectful around people, like ladies and stuff, like he’s not gonna be cussing in the middle of a room filled with the younger kids from the movie.

SoaB: How about Kenan Thompson?

KD: Kenan is a big EVERYTHING as far as personality, I can hands down tell you he was the funniest guy on set, INCLUDING Sam and Flex, Flex THOUGHT he was funny, but he really wasn’t, I think Flex thought he was Three G’s for REAL, lol.

SoaB: What was it like acting with the snakes? Did you have a favorite snake?

KD: it wasn’t hard acting with the snakes, I actually wasn’t around them all that much, my favorite snake was “kitty” she was huge and I loved her, she was HEAVY, took like 12 of us to lift her

SoaB: Did being in the film give you any practical advice for what you should do if you ever found yourself in a plane with real snakes?

KD: If I was on a plane with real snakes I would start stomping and chopping, any advice if it happens to anyone on a plane, if you survive, sue the airline and get rich as hell.

SoaB: If you had to pick one person to be trapped on a plane with snakes, who would it be?

KD: Who would I like to see trapped with snakes in real life, hmm………….Flex Alexander, yeah, Flex.

SoaB: Did you have a favorite line from the film?

KD: My favorite line from the movie was when the captain was talkin’ about goin’ down faster than a thai hooker, I was in tears.

SoaB: What do you think the best title for a sequel would be?

KD: Snakes in the Pen: Sam goes to jail and some of us follow and they release snakes in the penitentiary, also Snakes in the Asylum, we all go crazy from what happened and get locked up and the snakes follow and kill us and all the crazy people, that’s what I’d call the sequels.

SoaB: Is there anything else interesting you’d like to say about the movie experience?

KD: Anything interesting……..hmm………. OH, before we started filming we kinda walked around set and met the stunt people and the props people and stuff, they showed me a fake snake they were gonna be putting on the plane, I said, you know what would be a good idea is if a snake is coming after me, leaping at me and I do a roundhouse kick while it’s coming at me, I was doing alot more martial arts back then, so we tried it out, they threw one at me and I roundhoused it 2 feet across the damn room, the props guys LOVED it, they said they were gonna show it to the stunt coordinator then David and try and have it put n the movie, no such luck, damn that woulda been sweet, I don’t even know if it ever even got to David to see, lol, well, that’s about it man, sorry my answers are so bunced together but in a bit of a rush.

A few new pieces of Fan Art for the masses:

When Snakes on a Plane came out on DVD you knew it was only a matter of time before it was ported onto somebody’s video Ipod.

My computer is too slow for me to take strolls through Itunes, is Snakes on a Plane available for download or is this a conversion only option?

The Cinezombie family has come through again with another amusing Snakes on a Plane image:

While Snakes on a Plane does not feature on the Epic Movie website panoply of recent film standout characters,
it does feature heavily in the trailer. Here are some screen caps from it:
