What a lot of people seem to be forgetting about all this Snakes on a Plane hype is that it started mainly because nobody could believe that anyone would actually make such a stupid movie.
“So there’s snakes.”
“Yup.”
“On a plane.”
“Right.”
“And that’s the whole movie?”
The hype didn’t start because people thought, “hey cool, finally that serpent-aviation movie Hollywood has been promising us for decades.” It was an in-joke, first at the movie’s expense, and then one that the producers managed to capitalize on. (Not enough, from most reports, to actually make a good movie, but still.)
The hype wasn’t over the movie. The hype was dumbfounded amazement that such a movie would ever get made. Oh, and people like Samuel L. Jackson.
