Films of Tomorrow
I bring you tidings of two upcoming movies.
The first stars Sam Jackson and, hilariously, is called Snakes on a Plane. Here is the synopsis:
“Snakes on a Plane centers on a ruthless assassin who unleashes a crate full of lethal snakes aboard a packed passenger jet over the Pacific Ocean in order to eliminate a witness in protective custody. The rookie pilot and frightened passengers must band together to survive.”
If only all movie titles were so helpfully literal. Then Cinderella Man could have just been called Renee Zellweger Twitches A Lot and The Interpreter would be Boring (Yet Still Confusing) Stuff Happens at the U.N.
The second is much more promising. It is called something or other that I don’t care about. But it is another Christopher Guest movie (!) set at an awards show (!). The plot is about an indie movie (!) that out of nowhere generates massive awards buzz (!). And all of the regulars that you’ve grown to love (Fred Willard, Catherine O’Hara, Harry Shearer, etc.) are back (!).
Could it get any better?
Oh yes, it could. There is one major addition to the cast: Ricky Gervais (of Office fame) as the head of the studio’s specialty division. Giddy.

ooooh! oooh-oooh-oooh!
Wow, Spice. I didn't expect people to be THAT excited about Snakes on a Plane.
I'd be happier with the more subtle "Snakes!!"
Although, the more I think about it, "Snakes!!" probably doesn't convey the on-the-planeness that the director is looking for.
