From last night’s phone conversation:
Me: It seems like the producers of Snakes on a Plane really didn’t know what they were onto for a long time. They wanted to call it Pacific Air 121.
Z: Yeah, they were probably imagining something like, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Pacific Air 121 … oh my god, the captain is DRUNK! And there’s a SNAKE ON THE PLANE! And … sweet Jesus, there’s a TORNADO! This is the WORST FLIGHT EVER!!”
Me: Actually, I would see that movie if it were called Worst Flight Ever.
Incidentally, know what the French title of Snakes on a Plane is? Yep:
I heard that Samuel L. Jackson heard they wanted to change the working title from Snakes on a Plane to whatever it was, and he said “NO! The title is the best thing about it! It’s the only reason I’m doing this movie!”
I heard Samuel picked up the script and said he wanted to do the movie before he even read it.
Regardless, did you read that paper? Yeah.
I need to see this in French. The plot seems like it could, ya know, transcend language barriers.
Me: Actually, I would see that movie if it were called Worst Flight Ever.
that made me laugh out loud!
