What should Samuel L. Jackson say in the sequel to Snakes on a Plane?
Snakes on a Plane is a movie about snakes, on a plane, with Samuel L. Jackson. That is, in fact, a complete plot summary.
It's a classic late-summer Hollywood B-Movie with a twist: its advance buzz, and a good bit of its development, came about more or less spontaneously on the Internet.
It's fun and dumb and unpretentious. It cost about $30 million to make, which sounds like a lot until you look at the budget.

Somebody actually asked me this the other day...
Samuel L. Jackson is an American actor of great ability and range. He appears regularly in serious and not-so-serious films, working with directors as varied as Quentin Tarantino on the serious end and George Lucas on the frivolous end. He also appears on stage, on television and as a voice actor in animated features.
More information is readily available on his official site and in his IMDB entry.
I'm Kevin Frost, aka frosty - an artist and computer guy. I do this sort of thing for fun.
Special thanks go to Asha Mohamud and Kevin the MacyVision Guy for vetting the concept, and to Tracie Broom for getting everyone to see the movie.

There's no registration, and I don't care what your e-mail address is. You can, however, enter a URL (your blog, your MySpace page, whatever). If your submission becomes super-popular, I might contact you via that URL; otherwise, anyone who's curious might just click on it.
For technical reasons, the set of lines you see is refreshed periodically (ie, not in real time). Your submission should be visible to others within an hour. (I may tweak that if the site gets a lot of traffic.) You see a mix of the new, the popular and the random - so everything is available, just not all the time, and the most popular lines are available more. I may or may not get around to doing RSS and other tricks.
This site requires Javascript and a browser I have time to test it in, which basically covers Firefox, Safari and Camino.
If you use Internet Explorer, stop it! Stop it now! Get Firefox!
I might make it work with Internet Explorer eventually, but only if there's strong demand. Which would mean lots of people coming here who don't know how to upgrade a browser, which would kinda suck, wouldn't it?
(If you must know why I'm so insistent about this, it's because most of the effort in this little project was in the CSS positioning, which MSIE botches so totally that I'd have to redesign the sucker just for that one broken, albeit popular, browser.)
No, I'm not insane, but I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!
