Alright, there are cultural phenomenons that I just don't understand. I realize that I might be missing the boat when it comes to designer jeans, ultra-premium bottled water, "Dancing with the Stars," Coach bags/purses, David Beckham, "Pink is the New Blog," Federspears, ad nausea, but I really don't care at the end of the day. These are things that I have no interest in knowing about, but I am happy if you want to occupy your time with them. No the newest cultural phenomenon that I am actually gaining a significant interest is an upcoming movie.
Now, with a name like "Snakes on a Plane," you might be inclining to dismiss it unceremoniously and right out of pocket. You wouldn't be alone, because I certainly did. My initial reaction was simply: "I know what the whole movie is about after reading the title, what else could I possibly get out of watching it?" I mean honestly the movie is about SNAKES that are on a damn PLANE. I can imagine chaos ensues to some capacity, and the protagonist ends up the victor over the SNAKES. Done. Easy. I think I can handle it. And yet...
There is an official website for the movie. I think it is called www.snakesonaplane.com or similar. On this site, there are a ton of Samuel L. Jackson quotes, wallpaper like pictures, and the ability to send a personalized phone call from SLJ himself to your friends. This, topped with the fact that the studio was getting such campy hype for the film, they spend an additional 5 million to re-shoot some scenes to add fan suggested dialogue and change the MPAA rating from a PG-13 to an R. It's the first time that a studio has changed and re-shot a film, not to fix a problem, but to add to the growing fan base's desire for more movie.
It has also given life to a number of hilarious parody clips on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUgl_8fI-XQ and SLJ giving an unbelievably funny speech at the Mtv Movie Awards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEqsx7lhvNc
Now I am not going to wait in line for days before to make sure I get tickets to opening night or anything, but I just might be convinced to get on down to the theatre to watch SLJ go Jules Winnfield on some snakes. Then again, maybe I'll just end up wasting $9. Either way, this movie has taken on a life that has far exceeded what anyone would have anticipated.
Booya!

Thank you, my point entirely. The went in and ADDED that line post production filming because fans insisted on having it in the movie.

SLJ needs to reevaluate his movie acceptance criteria...
