As everybody knows by now, the movie
Snakes on a Plane is the greatest Sam Jackson vehicle ever made. But what does it have to do with Daily Kos? Only this.
Ever since hearing Michael Chertoff utter the phrase "banning all liquids and gels from planes" the other day, I have been thinking that this is clearly Saturday Night Live skit material. I've even got the title (see above). And the word "gel" clearly suggests the possibility of a Santorum-related R rating, or even NC-17.
But what is the plot? Who is the hero? Does George W. Bush choke on a pretzel on Air Force One? Are there, in fact, snacks on the motherfucking plane? I've got nothing but a tagline here!
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "kellogg, a tagline was all New Line Cinema had until Samuel L. Jackson signed the motherfucking contract." And you'd be right: sometimes a tagline is all you need. But that leaves the question of casting.
So I'm penning this diary as a plea: let's make us a movie, people. I've done my part. Now I need cast, plot, dialogue, and a budget.
