Whatever happened to those snakes on that plane?
I heard this song last night while I was out. Remember when we were all excited for "Snakes on a Plane"? Like, no other movies would have to be made — in fact the writers' strike wouldn't even matter — because "SOAP" was gonna be it? And then it totally sucked (and all the old media critics blamed it on the internets)?
And this song (It's "Bring It! (Snakes on a Plane)," by Cobra Starship) kind of sucks, too. But it reminds me of the heady days before "SoaP" was released and we were all thrilling in the anticipation of the most necessary film ever.

Ambivalently, despite multi and various rumors, it appears that there won't be a sequel. Sam Jackson's proclamation at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards ("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'.") is not to be.
So kiss those snakes goodbye.
