Alright, kids. This is the teaser poster for the upcoming Samuel L. Jackson epic called
Snakes On A Plane. If I have to explain what the movie is about, what's the point? All the information you need is there.
This poster is iconic and brilliant, serving up exactly what you would expect. But now it seems that the official "final" artwork for the movie poster has leaked onto the web. (Thank you to the folks over at
Snakes On A Blog.)
My first impression was: Whoa! Nice 70's style exploitation flick poster. I actually have quite a fetish for these. Check out
Trash: The Graphic Genius of Xploitation Movie Posters, it's a fabulous coffee table book, sure to start conversations about guilty pleasures and the nature of exploitation flicks in general. Anyway, at first I was down with the poster, until I started to look a little closer.
Where are the motherf*cking snakes?
You made a movie called
Snakes On A Plane and didn't put any motherf*cking
snakes on the motherf*cking
poster? What the f*ck is wrong with you people?
No one is going to see this movie because it will have screaming blond chicks, or freaked out pilots, or well lit overhead compartments!
We want to see this movie because of Samuel L. Motherf*cking Jackson and a bunch of goddamn deadly ass killer SNAKES ON A MOTHERF*CKING PLANE!!!!
Even the dumbass poster for
Black Cobra is better than that. Sure, they substitute a python for a cobra (and a bra!) but at least they had the good sense to put a SNAKE on it!
And what's up with that tagline?
Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the fright. What about these:
Sssstill the ssssafest way to travel... or
Available seating near the tail... or
In the event of an emergency, SCREAM! Anyway, I'm still gonna see it no matter what the poster looks like.
