Quote:
A HOLLYWOOD film starring Samuel L. Jackson has been ridiculed as 'so bad it's good' by movie critics before it has even been completed.

... the movie's plot can be summarised in one sentence:

On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, let (sic) loose a crate full of deadly snakes.



Reaction to the film's title has been mixed - many critics have called the title 'brilliant', and 'the most appealing part of the film', other have asked why the movie has such an obvious name.

As one online critic said: There are snakes on the plane. End of f***ng story."

However efforts by executives to change the title to something more mundane, such as Pacific Air 121 were stopped by none other than lead actor and screen legend Samuel L. Jackson, who refused point blank to see the title altered in any way.

"Snakes on a Plane, man," said Jackson during a recent interview with Collider.com.

"We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title."


Definitely one to look forward to.

Another good example why Samuel L. Jackson is such a badass cool guy.

Hahahahahaha, I love his response to the title. It's perfect cheese and he knows it.

...you would think a professional assassin would come up with a better way to kill someone then "I KNOW! I'LL LET OUT A BUNCH OF SNAKES!!!111 RAWR!"
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Atleast the title is honest, not some poetic, symbolic mess. Or an odd colloquialism.

That sounds like a great band name.

Sammy L. is one of those actors that can be in a terrible movie yet still have a great reputation. Morgan Freeman is another example. No matter how bad a project they choose, they can never send their career down the tubes.

Indeed. He was in that movie The Man that got poor reviews, yet his reputation isn't going anywhere.

Why must you people beat a joke mercilessly into submission until it no longer becomes funny, and rather completely annoying, ruining the joke in the first place? Really.

It better not be "Pacific Air Flight 121"....That would literally ruin the whole movie...what a stupid, unoriginal name. Snakes on a plane is awesome though.

Are there any movies that are "so good they're bad"?

I'm thinking Baby Geniuses 2 falls into this category. The general populace simply can't comprehend its, well--genius, so it's automatically bad.

No, but they are dumb as hell. You've all killed a good thing, with your lack of subtlety.
