OMG, I’m crying here...they actually made a movie called “Snakes on a Plane”. With Samuel L. Jackson in the lead, for Chrissake. I'd heard about this awhile back but like lots of other folks, I dismissed it as a joke. Guess what - it appears to be no joke.

Snakes on a Plane has become a weird internet phenomenon, thanks to the blog of Josh Friedman, who was (I think) signed to do the rewrite on the script. His post about Snakes on a Plane has been posted extensively throughout the blogosphere, and has now found its way here to my little corner of the universe. It’s a hilarious read; take five minutes just to scan through it – you won’t be sorry.

People have been thinking of this movie as a joke, but I kid you not – there’s a damn trailer that’s floating around on the ‘net (may be fake but looks damn good if it is). It has Sam Jackson battling a boatload (oops, planeload) of vipers, lots of screaming passengers, and a cat that becomes snake sushi. It’s all good, I say!

My thought is this: if they can get Snakes on a Plane made, dammit, I should be able to write and sell a screenplay. If nothing else, Snakes on a Plane gives me hope (as well as sides that are aching from laughter). I will definitely be seeing this in a theater when it comes out.
