When I first heard about this, I thought, “You’ve gotta be kidding me!?” But this is for real. Samuel L. Jackson, a world renown movie star in such movies as Pulp Fiction amongst many others, is now starring in what is to be one of the most ridiculous films of the year. “What is it about,” you ask? Well, snakes on a plane. And Samuel L. Jackson is gonna kick some snake tail.
Apparently, in some mishap, poisonous snakes stowed away on an airliner somehow get loose and start killing people and pets with their venomous fangs. But Samuel L. Jackson (aka “Nelville Flynn”) just so happens to be on the plane and is there to save the day from the wrath of the killer snakes. According to IMDB, the producers apparently wanted to change the name of the movie to Flight 121, but Samuel L. Jackson was adamant they not change it from the original name. So needless to say, the name stayed. Who’s going to argue with Samuel L. Jackson?
I mean really man! Why are you doing this to your career, Mr. Jackson? I’m just confused. The plot is terrible! At best, this will be a movie you watch on UPN while taking a nap on Saturday afternoon around 4, drifting in and out of consciousness. I just can’t believe this. I might actually just go see it because it looks so ridiculous. Maybe that’s their point though … maybe it’s a giant marketing scheme to get people in the theater. Well, regardless, isn’t SLJ shooting himself in the foot with this one? Oh well … looks pretty funny actually. Maybe it’s a comedy, made to look serious? I don’t know, I could be wrong …
