As a general rule, the title of a film should tell us a little something about its content. Snakes on a Plane succeeds where Freddy Got Fingered failed - going into the film, you know exactly what you're getting yourself into. That's honest marketing. Add to that the sight of Samuel L. Jackson doing his wide-eyed, loud-mouthed schtick like only he can, and you're in for a classic film in its genre. Not since Killer Klowns From Outer Space has there been a film as ambitious as this, combining the twin terrors of venomous ophidians and air travel with panache. Without having seen the film - it releases in New Zealand today - I can tell you it beats Citizen Kane hands-down. That's the power of a good title.Thursday, August 24, 2006

it says there that a possible title was venom then WTH WERE THOSE IDIOTS SO DENSE AND NOT NAME IT THAT??????
i mean venom at least SOUNDS better than snakes on aplane
i bet they are jsut going to try and get ratings by people wanting to make fun of the movie
I don't think you quite understand the genius behind Snakes on a Plane. It's snakes, on a plane!
