Yeah, "Poseidon" has me wondering, too. Maybe it too will be a fun time waster. If so, I'm all for it. Although, what do you think of the mad rush for all these remakes? Sometimes I wonder and worry why bother? So many have been useless: Mod Squad, Bewitched, Dukes of Hazzard, Shaft. The originals were better in every case. And I'm really cringing at Jim Carrey's "Six Million Dollar Man" remake, which I hear will be comedic. Why???

Jackson in 'Snakes on a Plane' Trailer Hey, why not? Better use of my money than the "Omen" remake that's coming. Or the "Posiedon" remake. One question, though. What idiot puts that many snakes on a commercial plane? I mean from a management standpoint? If that's me, I'm thinking, "Sorry, sir/madam/other, but you're gonna have to charter your own private flight for this. And I need to grab a bath before I start the paperwork."

"Deep Blue Sea" is one of my fav scifi movies ever--seriously! And I laugh all the way through that every time I see it. Even "Anaconda", which isn't as good as Deep Blue, is a fun time waster. I think "Snakes on a Plane" will hopefully hail back to the great days of the '70s when there were lots of silly flicks like "Bugs", "Kingdom of the Spiders", "Towering Inferno", etc. Takes skill to make a film that's silly but entertaining, and I hope this is one. As for doing it, Sam Jackson said that he saw the title and was hooked, for much the same reasons I just listed. he loved those old goofy action/scifi movies from back in the day, and he wanted "Snakes" to be a homage to that. -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of brent wodehouse Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 13:00 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: [OT] Samuel L.
