Recently, I read an interview with a cool actor, Samuel L. Jackson, in Premiere magazine. I have been a fan of his work for a while... But some of his work... well, clearly, he can be the biggest fan of it all. Such may be the case with his new film, Snakes on a Plane (yes--that's the real title). See below--an excerpt from the March 2006 edition...

Sam Jackson:
"When I picked up the script I saw the title and I didn't even read it and I said, "I want to do it." You know, before I read the first page, SNAKES ON A PLANE. If this is what I think it is, I want to be in it. I want to be on a plane full of poisonous snakes. You say SNAKES ON A PLANE, people who don't like snakes are intrigued. The people who don't like to fly are intrigued. The people who don't like both are totally terrified now... They want to see, you know, people enclosed in a tin tube being attacked by poisonous snakes! COME ON! What do you do? What do you do when the plan lands? Come on, SNAKES ON A PLANE, that's the title. And you know, somebody heard that comment, people on the Internet got behind it. "That's right!" [pounding table with fist, with gruff voice] We want SNAKES ON A PLANE!" So now, there's, I don't know, five, six websites dedicated... there are bags, jackets... SNAKES ON A PLANE. [pauses--then looks wide-eyed] And by the way, you get some good snakes too!
