Snakes on a Plane

If there's one thing we love here at Paul and Storm Central Command, it's planes. Planes are cool: they fly all over the place, they make that cool zooming sound, and when you look at them from the front, they look like they're smiling, but still look like badasses at the same time.

And if there's one thing we love more than planes, it would be snakes. Snakes are even cooler: they slither around all silent (except when they rattle), they come in cool colors and patters, and when you look at them from the front, they look like they're smiling, but are still badasses at the same time.

So imagine our delight when we found out several months ago that a new movie would be coming out in 2006, and that movie was called Snakes on a Plane.

Snakes. On a plane.

Snakes. On. A. Plane.

That is so awesome in so many ways that it can barely be comprehended. Not the least of which is that the title says, in four words, everything you need to know about the movie. Which got us thinking about other movies in which the title spells out the entire concept:
- The 40 Year-Old Virgin
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster

...and all of those movies are great, so there's no reason to think that Snakes on a Plane will break the streak.

And yet, it gets cooler still; because who's starring in the movie? Only Samuel L. Jackson! Only the coolest, baddest human being on the planet. (And beyond)*

And even though this movie doesn't come out until August, it's already got a heck of a following on the Interwebs. Here's a sampling of some of our favorite sites dedicated to the best high-concept film of 2006:

- Snakes on a Plane Wikipedia entry (A good starting point)
- screenwriter Josh Friedman's blog, an "insider's" perspective (The rest of the blog is quite interesting and funny as well)
- Jeffrey Rowland's Overcompensating (I find myself quoting this in everyday conversation, much to the chagrin of others)
- Snakes on a Blog (By someone with even more too much free time than us; includes poetry, lyrics, fan art, songs, and links to several fan-made trailers)
- Another Snakes on a Plane blog
- The best movie poster ever
- Snakes on a cake-plane


So join us in our quest to make this the highest-grossing non-summer-tentpole B-movie ever. Join the hype!

We Got Mother*!!%$#in' SNAKES,

Paul and Storm


*Okay, maybe there's one cooler person, but if so, he's a very close second.

The snakes in the brain stay mainly in the plane.
