They were going to change the title but Samuel L. Jackson said he wouldn't be in the movie if they did. I think the title is funny because it shows that they're not taking themselves too seriously.

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 They're just not getting it, Jack. The cheesy title is the whole point. It's a cheesy popcorn movie, and it isn't trying to be anything else. And that title sparked a buzz so big that it'll probably clear $100 million before its run is over. The title is brilliant. If Samuel Jackson is down with those motherf**king snakes on that motherf**king plane, so am I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Samuel Jackson is down with those motherf**king snakes on that motherf**king plane, so am I. So you and Jack are actually gonna SEE this movie? QUOTE And that title sparked a buzz so big that it'll probably clear $100 million before its run is over. So let me get this straight. People are going to see this movie BECAUSE it has an awful title? I guess maybe it's just a matter of taste. I like to see movies that are supposed to be quality films, whether drama or comedy. I am NOT the type to rush out and see summer blockbusters just because they're summer blockbusters. If they look crappy, I don't care how many fight or action or special effects scenes there are, or how many people go to see the damn movie, I ain't going. This movie to me seems like a joke, and not a funny one other than it's fun to make fun of it. It's the kind of movie that I'm sure has the people at the Razzie awards chomping at the bit to see, and I won't be surprised if it doesn't get a few nominations, if not a win or two. If this movie really has a cheesy title because it's a high-brow or low-brow comedy making fun of the airplane/hostage/terror genre in an intelligent thought-out way and it's truly funny, that's one thing, but I don't get that impression here. In fact, I just went to imdb and it says this, "On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, lets loose a crate full of deadly snakes." I even went to the trouble and watched the 1 minute trailer, which is 1 minute I'll never get back. No, this doesn't look like an intelligent comedy or even an intelligent thriller. To me it looks like a crapfest of the lowest common denominator made to appeal to people who will watch any horror movie that comes out or that desperately need something to do on a Friday or Saturday night. I'm all for having fun, but I have to have something that makes me think or at least is done intelligently or I get bored in a hurry. I know I'm coming off as a film snob (add that to my list of being a music snob), but this isn't the kind of movie I would even rent or borrow from a friend for free. Hell, if it was showing on an airplane flight I was on (though I doubt it would based on the premise ), and I was bored, I wouldn't even watch it. Well, maybe if the headphones were free and I was REALLLLLY bored. If this movie makes $100 million dollars, to me it's the equivalent of a #1 album from Britney Spears - mediocrity for the masses. Ok, if you must, let the controversy begin. These are just my opinions. Feel free to disagree, go see the movie and have a blast. I won't be joining you, but that shouldn't stop you from having a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
