 Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com: 1) Invincible: $15.2 million ($37.8 million, second week) ∞) Snakes on a Plane: $0 million. It’s still playing in theaters, but it didn’t even show up on Box Office Mojo’s top 50 movies of the week. Note to the lowest New Line staffer on the totem pole: don’t go to that “surprise” birthday party, if you want to see the sun rise again.

 Here’s a show that will give the MTV Movie Awards a run for its money: The Chainsaw Awards, a joint production between Fuse and Fangoria, airing on Fuse Sunday, October 22nd. Sounds like a joke, right? But one quick look at the categories and nominees, and it’s clear these people have done their homework. Okay, some of the music video categories are a joke – anything that threatens to hand any award that’s not a Razzie to She Wants Revenge is a joke – but I’ll definitely tune in for Best Death Scene (which, for my money, is a tossup between “Snakes on a Plane” and “Saw II”) and Bloodiest Beatdown. Get your freak on, kids. To vote for your favorites, go to fuse.tv between September 1st and (oh, geez) Friday, October 13th. www.fuse.tv Filed under: Movies and TV and Horror Movies and Snakes on a Plane Comments: None Digg this!

 At long, long last, All Snakes Day has arrived. So did the movie live up to the hype…? Okay, so it’s not the Grestest Movie Ever Made, as I have insisted it would be all this time, but I have never had that much fun at a movie in my life. The first ten minutes of the movie are bad, bad, bad. Bad acting, bad dialogue, painful exposition…but then the plane takes off, and suddenly the movie explodes into the craziest deathfest you’ll ever see. My favorite detail was that it had a nice dose of mean. Innocents get taken down in equal numbers as the sinners. Beautiful. I would also like to add, even for those of us with 93″ HDTV systems and who hate going to the movies, this is a movie that absolutely has to be seen in a theater, preferably late at night, with a rowdy crowd. When Samuel L. Jackson’s big line came, as gratuitous as it was, we yelled it out right along with him. The place went NUTS. Hot damn, was that fun. I can’t wait to see it again. It’s still early on the west coast, so I’m going to wait for a bit, but “Snakes” director David Ellis said for me to call him today and tell him what I thought of the movie. If someone can think of a better response than “SNAKES ON A PLANE, MOTHERFUCKER!”, I’m all ears. So let’s hear it, people. Did you see “Snakes on a Plane” last night? What did you think?

No doubt trying to cash in on the release of “Snakes on a Plane,” these bastards have beat Sam Jackson and Co. to the punch… and only three days earlier. Say it ain’t so!

So am I, which is why I instantly clicked on this link to a 90-second clip from “Snakes on a Plane.” Gaboon vipers have big, big teeth. Ask the captain. Filed under: Movies and Trailers and Action Movies and Snakes on a Plane and External Movies Comments: None Digg this! Add to Del.icio.us |

The folks at Newsarama - one of the best sources for comic-related news out there - have an interview with John Hefferman, screenwriter of “Snakes On A Plane.” It’s far from exclusively about the film, but it does offer a little bit of info you might not have read before.

They’re not screening “Snakes on a Plane.” I can’t even begin to tell you what a kick in the teeth this is. I have been looking forward to this movie ever since I interviewed screenwriter Sheldon Turner last May — LAST May, as in 2005 — and stumbled upon a title in his IMDb filmography with the spectacular name of “Snakes on a Plane” (it has since been removed from his credits, presumably a WGA-related matter). And now, we get the news that New Line is going to make sure that the “fans” see it first. Hey, what about the critics that are also fans, huh? I am in a position to give you the kind of advance buzz that you would kill for, and you just stripped it away from me. Not smart. Tell me, New Line, are you worried about the advance buzz being profoundly negative? Please. This movie is the textbook definition of critic-proof. Jesus, did you see how much money “Little Man” made last weekend? Fucking “Little Man!” Your movie is poised to make four times that. Help us help you, will ya? To quote Hank Azaria impersonating Charles Bronson on “The Simpsons,” this, ain’t, over. Filed under: News and Action Movies and Snakes on a Plane and External Movies Comments: 1 Comment Digg this!

New Line, at last, is getting off their duffs and releasing some new material for Snakesonaplaniacs the world over. And all I can think to say is: Lesbians on a plane. Can you dig it?

We just had to link to this piece from Cinematical about hacktastic auteur Charles Band’s next movie, “Evil Bong.” Cinematical got the headline right, but Band has clearly missed an opportunity if he is honestly making a movie about an evil bong, starring Tommy Chong, but does not intend to call it “Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong.” You’ve got Tommy Chong. You’ve got an evil bong. Why on earth would you call your movie anything other than “Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong.” Rolls right off the tongue, with a lovely rhyming cadence. And based on that title alone, everyone who becomes aware of this movie is either in or out…just like that other perfectly-named blockbuster-in-the-making, “Snakes on a Plane.” Now, granted, Band may be avoiding the inclusion of Chong’s name in the title because he wants to protect the egos of his other stars…or because Chong’s character in the movie has a name that doesn’t rhyme with bong…or because Band simply doesn’t enjoy a good Chong-bong rhyme like the rest of us. But calling this thing “Evil Bong” waters down what could otherwise be a craptastic title for the ages. Uhhhh….huh-huh. I said “bongwater.” Filed under: Movies and Actors and News and Movie Comedies and Horror Movies and Snakes on a Plane and External Movies Comments: None Digg this! Add to Del.icio.us |

Yup. Because everybody wants a piece of Sam’s sweet action, DC Comics is releasing a 2-issue adaptation of the film in August. And the media juggernaut rumbles on… Filed under: Movies and News and Action Movies and Snakes on a Plane Comments: 1 Comment Digg this! Add to Del.icio.us |

Samuel L. Jackson used his MTV Movie Awards appearance to present the award for Best Movie and got the maximum amount of promotion for his OWN new movie out of it.
Here’s the link, so you can see it for yourself, but in case MTV decides to yank it, here’s the transcript, word for motherfuckin’ word: “I’m here tonight to present the award everyone’s been waiting for: Best Movie. Now, this award holds a special place in my heart, because next year, I’ll be winning it…for ‘Snakes On A Plane.’ Now, I know, I know that sounds cocky, but I don’t give a damn. I am guaranteeing that ‘Snakes On A Plane’ will win Best Movie next year. Does not matter what else is coming out. The new James Bond…? No snakes in that! ‘Oceans Thirteen’? Where the snakes at?!? ‘Shrek the Third’? Green…but not a snake! No movie shall triumph over ‘Snakes On A Plane’…UNLESS I happen to feel like making a movie called ‘More Motherfucking Snakes On More Motherfucking Planes’! Here are your nominees for Best Movie…” DAMN, I love Sam Jackson… Filed under: Movies and Actors and News and Action Movies and Snakes on a Plane Comments: 2 Comments Digg this! Add to Del.icio.us |

First, he made a hilarious “audition reel” for “Snakes on a Plane,” where he did impressions of Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. Now the heretofore unknown DCLugi has taken the U2 song “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own” and, well, made it better, by appropriating it to fit “SoaP” and its star, Samuel L. Jackson. Funny, funny stuff. We were also pleased as punch to learn that Sam was snapped at the MTV Movie Awards wearing a version of the same “SoaP” shirt owned by myself and Tyler Durden. His, of course, is black, and has ‘M.F.’ in between ‘a’ and ‘plane.’

Samuel L. Jackson made another appearance on the Ellen show last week, and they spoke exclusively about “Snakes on a Plane.” Here are the two segments Segment 1: Jackson talks about “Pacific Flight 121″ and how awful a title that was, and even shows some behind-the-scenes clips of the snakes wrangled together on the set. Segment 2: Begins with a (snakes-free) clip from the movie, which Jackson wryly observes is eerily similar to his speech in “Deep Blue Sea,” where a shark jumps up and eats him. I personally love the bit regarding Jackson’s favorite word to say, and the game of charades he and Ellen play around it. Enjoy, Snakeheads.

This girl is in it.
Her name is Elsa Pataky, kids. She’s an Iberian 29-year-old, and if we’re really, really lucky, she’s the one in that Mile High Club scene they recently shot. Man, her and Sunny Mabrey in the same movie? For those unfamiliar with Sunny Mabrey, that means you never saw “xXx: State of the Union,” which makes you very fortunate. But here’s what she looks like:
August 18 cannot come soon enough. Elsa, Sunny, Samuel and snakes. Sweeeeeet. Filed under: Movies and Actresses and Snakes on a Plane Comments: 4 Comments Digg this! Add to Del.icio.us |

Everybody here at Premium Hollywood has had their say about the upcoming release of Sam Jackson’s “Snakes on a Plane,” including me, but with this weekend’s release of the James Gunn horror-comedy “Slither,” it looks like “SoaP” can no longer be called the next great cult film. It isn’t just the audiences that are loving it either. The film currently has an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (out of 65 reviews). “Slither” is everything that fanboys could only hope “SoaP” is, but with five more months to wait until it’s theatrical release, you might as well check out “Slither” in the meantime. Also out this week: two horrible sequels (”Ice Age 2” and “Basic Instinct 2“), as well as a yet another urban rap drama (”ATL”). Seriously, how many more of these shitty movies are they going to make? Filed under: Movies and Reviews and Horror Movies and Snakes on a Plane Comments: None Digg this! Add to Del.icio.us |

Yes, it’s blatant self-promotion at its finest, but this video, modeled after the “Saturday Night Live” auditions for “Star Wars” featuring Kevin Spacey, is awfully funny nonetheless. The guy may not look a thing like any of the people he’s impersonating, but his impressions are spot on. Well, okay, his DeNiro was pretty weak. The others, though, are awesome.
