The day you realize that someday, somehow we're going to have to explain the movie "Snakes On A Plane" to history.

Can a urinal be a fountain? I guess. Can you make a movie predicated entirely on one pointless line spoken intensely? I suppose.
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
the idea for the movie didn't even start with that
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
that line came even after filming was complete and they had to go back and film it because the internet was all "WELL THIS IS OBVS A THING THAT'LL HAPPEN"

I've still never seen it.

Snakes on a Plane began as a movie called "Venom", which was about one snake loose on a plane
Exacerangutan
really? that's strange, awareness of it certainly seemed to grow in the other direction
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
This ws in 1992. Then in 1995, it was revised to be an Aliens style film about many snakes on a plane, inside the fuselage after a mishap
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
still called "Venom", wanted by no one. Then Ronny Yu got ahold of it, and changed the name to "Snakes on a Plane"
Exacerangutan
wow it really languished in production hell huh
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
and that's when all hell broke loose
Exacerangutan
I guess it's more of a coincidence of money and bad ideas.
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
Samuel L JAckson signed on, not having read the script, based on the director and the title.

...I feel like it will be the introductory warmup to the history text trying to explain how Trump happened.
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
And he was going to quit when they were going to change the title to "Pacific Air Flight 121"
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
At this point it was still a normal movie about a mishap involving snakes somehow falling into a plane's fuselage
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
BUT THEN THE 000s internet found out about it
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
OH BOY DID THEY FIND OUT
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
And suddenly they were rewriting the script while filming it, throwing in scenes written based on snarky things the internet was talking about
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
including that famous line
Exacerangutan
the collision of bad ideas, money, and internet memes
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
the # of snakes in the plane went from 10
Exacerangutan
so, like I said, the intro chapter to How Trump Happened
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
MANY OF THEM REAL SNAKES
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
(except the ones that came near Samuel L Jackson)
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
also, true story, at one of the premieres, someone released rattlesnakes into the movie theater
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
It's still not clear if this was a promotional thing or not
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
It did get us this music video and the band cobra starship though, so that's cool
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
while "Snakes on a Train" seems like it's probably a rip off based on the title
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
and that it's an asylum film
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
it actually came out first
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
and is about mayan curses
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
I imagine that it was just retitled for confusion
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
and now we all know too much about snakes on a plane.

"Snakes On A Plane" exists as it is pretty much because Samuel L. Jackson wanted to do something stupid and fun. X3
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
Tanks4theMemory : If not for him, it'd probably just be a dumb movie called Pacific Air Flight 121", a boring movie with ten snakes
Tanks4theMemory
Yep.
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
when you could take the dumbest idea, make a movie and everyone would just be fine with it
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
Snakes on a Plane? Fine.
๐”–๐”ซ๐”ฆ๐”ฅ๐”ฒ๐”ฏรณ๐”ซ๐”จ๐”ž
Seed of Chucky? Bring it
