Holy shit, Snakes on a Muthafuckin' Plane! Yeah, I know these meme was hot about six months ago, but now that the trailer was leaked, I wanna see some motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane.
For the uninitiated, Snakes on a Plane is a film starring Samuel L. Jackson that has, well, snakes on a plane. Wikipedia's description of the fervor behind the movie is pretty accurate, but the meme seemed to gain a lot of traction after this post went up. My favorite bit of the whole story is Jackson's back and forth with a reporter at a press junket:
Beaks: One of those films that you're working on right now is... well, it's called "Pacific Air 121"—
Jackson: Snakes on a Plane, man!
Beaks: Exactly.
Jackson: We're totally changing that back. That's the only reason I took the job: I read the title.
Beaks: Snakes on a Plane! That’s everything!
Jackson: You either want to see that, or you don't.
And goddammit, I wanna see it. You'll see me there, August 18th, 2006.

Damn. The YouTube police have apparently yanked it. Tangentially, the suits at the major networks have gone to great lengths to make sure that I can't watch anything interesting (read: old SNL sketches, musical performances on late night shows, cool things owned by giant media conglomerates) on YouTube while I work on Saturday mornings. Blech.
