stark ranting

So here's the story. A B-movie script with the working title "Snakes on a Plane" is somehow made into a movie starring Samuel L. Jackson. The blogosphere catches wind of it and can't resist the naked foolishness of its title. Countless parodies and send-ups come into existence. (See examples here, here, and here.) The movie studio even adds a scene demanded by the blogosphere in which Samuel L. Jackson says, and I quote, "Motherfucking Snakes on a Motherfucking Plane!" Can a movie be a cult hit before it hits the theaters? Apparently so. Salon deconstructs all the delicious layers of irony here. I'll leave you with the trailer playing in theaters now.
