Uh… I Guess It Could Happen
While I don’t usually read the Daily Cal review section, today I stumbled across an interview between the DC and Kenan Thompson, most recently starring in Oscar-nominated Snakes On A Plane. This may be one of the funniest things I’ve read in the Daily Cal:
DC: It doesn’t seem like your run-of-the-mill horror/thriller movie, though. There’s definitely some absurdism in there as well.
KT: Yeah, I mean, there’s a bit of, you know…I mean it’s not like ghosts or anything, it’s something that could actually happen.
Now banned from airplanes: hair gel, bottled water, and venemous snakes.
On a side note: I will see this movie, but there is a major inaccuracy. The flight is going from Hawaii to LA. But there are no snakes allowed on the islands of Hawaii. When I say they’re meticulous about this, I mean that the landing gear of planes is inspected for snakes upon arrival. So how did some dude get 200 of them on a plane? I think it’s a small plot hole, but given this type of writing, it’ll probably be the last. Right?
Also, Kenan’s upcoming film: Wieners. I can’t make this stuff up.
this is the greatest advertising for a movie in a while (by the name itself). are you actually looking for plotholes??

Possibly the most quotable movie of the past 12 months. Even more than brokeback or talladega:
“That…is…IT! I have HAD IT…with these MU’FUCC’IN snakes….on this MU’FUCC’IN plane!”
“LISTEN UP PEOPLE! We have to create a barrier…between US…and the SNAKES!”
(both of course spoken by Samuel L Jackson) To all of those seeing it on shattuck in less than an hour…see you there!

Ben, in your rush to sound very knowledgeable about Hawaii, you come off like an ignorant tourist.
There are in fact snakes in Hawaii. Try going there and looking around. or check this link in the meantime.

Oh come on. That’s a worm. That doesn’t count.
There’s a difference between a “snake” and a snake. I don’t mind a “snake” on a plane.
In any event, the movie is awesome. Go prepared.

Also, to clarify, I said, “But there are no snakes allowed on the islands of Hawaii.” That’s still correct - it’s a crime to bring them to the islands. And they do check the landing gear of the planes, supposedly - I’ve never seen it though.

The movie itself says that snakes are not indiginous to Hawaii.
And if “Snakes On a Plane” says it, it HAS to be true.

The plane could be coming from South America. It doens’t have to be from Hawai’i to get snakes on it.

OK the spam blocker won’t let me post the link, but I guess this could happen; a venomous snake was found in an airmail package to the netherlands. Its a stretch… but it is a mothafuckin snake on a mothafuckin plane
for the story just google search “snake in airmail”… its the first page
