if you weren't aware, you are now

Although I'm nowhere near an expert, there's something I think I need to address here. It's Snakes On A Plane. If somehow you've missed out on the Snakes On A Plane phenomenon, let me get you up to date (remember, I am NOT an expert).

Someone writes a script about snakes on a plane. Yes, this was once a Saturday Night Live sketch. But now it's a movie. Samuel L Jackson signs on. There is talk of changing the name of the film to something stupid like "Flight 347", but by this point the title has been leaked to the internet, and people are going crazy for a film called Snakes On A Plane, so it's too late to change anything. People also start to wonder if it's all a hoax. It's not, of course. In fact, here's Samuel L Jackson discussing the film on Ellen:



And here's what might be the trailer (and this is fantastic):



And of course there's an official website and the blog linked to a bunch of songs created by a messageboard about Snake On A Plane and then there's the Snakes Flying A Plane t-shirt, or just an S on a P t-shirt... stay tuned for novelty condoms.

You've got to wonder how this movie is going to do once it's released. I can't imagine that it'll last longer than a week in any theater. But then again, some snakes have legs (and sequels).

Stay tuned for Snakes On A Rickshaw.
