The day you realize that someday, somehow we're going to have to explain the movie "Snakes On A Plane" to history.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
That sure is a day.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
...and also this 
Snakes on a Train (10/10) Movie CLIP - Giant Snake A...

i mean
Exacerangutan
//points at modern art//
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Well
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
There's modern art
Exacerangutan
Can a urinal be a fountain? I guess. Can you make a movie predicated entirely on one pointless line spoken intensely? I suppose.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and then there's this 
Snakes on a plane - best scene
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
oh no, see
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
the idea for the movie didn't even start with that
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
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"
ChickletLARP
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
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
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
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
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
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and that's when all hell broke loose
Exacerangutan
I guess it's more of a coincidence of money and bad ideas.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Samuel L JAckson signed on, not having read the script, based on the director and the title.
Exacerangutan
...I feel like it will be the introductory warmup to the history text trying to explain how Trump happened.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
And he was going to quit when they were going to change the title to "Pacific Air Flight 121"
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
At this point it was still a normal movie about a mishap involving snakes somehow falling into a plane's fuselage
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
BUT THEN THE 000s internet found out about it
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
OH BOY DID THEY FIND OUT
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
And suddenly they were rewriting the script while filming it, throwing in scenes written based on snarky things the internet was talking about
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
including that famous line
Exacerangutan
the collision of bad ideas, money, and internet memes
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
pfretty much
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
the # of snakes in the plane went from 10
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
to 450
Exacerangutan
so, like I said, the intro chapter to How Trump Happened
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
MANY OF THEM REAL SNAKES
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
(except the ones that came near Samuel L Jackson)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also, true story, at one of the premieres, someone released rattlesnakes into the movie theater
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
It's still not clear if this was a promotional thing or not
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
It did get us this music video and the band cobra starship though, so that's cool

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
while "Snakes on a Train" seems like it's probably a rip off based on the title
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and that it's an asylum film
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
it actually came out first
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
and is about mayan curses
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
so it's....probably not
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I imagine that it was just retitled for confusion
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
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
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐

: If not for him, it'd probably just be a dumb movie called Pacific Air Flight 121", a boring movie with ten snakes
Tanks4theTurkey
Yep.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also this looks INSANE

๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
ah, the 2000s
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
when you could take the dumbest idea, make a movie and everyone would just be fine with it
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Snakes on a Plane? Fine.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Seed of Chucky? Bring it
