First of all, I have been laughing at this picture for an hour.


Now, some interesting info regarding Snakes on a Plane.

For those of you wondering exactly what Snakes on a Plane is all about, here's a fairly good explanation from what may be my new favorite site, Snakes on a Blog:

Why Snakes On A Plane is Funny

Someone recently asked "so why is this funny? is it because you keep repeating it over and over? the repetition is funny?"

For me it's got nothing to do with the repetition. "Snakes on a Plane" was funny back in January before anyone else knew about it, back when it was "Pacific Air 121". It's the mental image of Samuel Jackson stuck on a plane with snakes - not as one single scene, but as the premise for an entire fucking movie. And the surrealistically honest marketing of the film (at Jackson's apparent insistence) to be exactly that.

Try a thought experiment. Take "Titanic", which is not funny, and call it "Teenagers On A Boat" - that's kinda funny. Add Samuel Jackson and some snakes and call it "Snakes On A Boat" it's a little more funny. Then change the boat to a plane and for some reason it turns to GOLD.

I can't really explain it, but for some reason this movie just works in the worst and best way possible, simultaneously.

As one IMDB user said, "So, are the producers of this movie aware that their plotline sucks so much that it rules??"

The Godfather
La Dolce Vita
Citizen Kane
and now...

Snakes on a Plane
It's like Die Hard, but with snakes... and on a plane.
