The best movie title ever

Think. And come back to me with your choice for the best title. I bet you can't beat my choice. It's F in brilliant. I tried but I couldn't describe it better than Josh Friedman, a hollywood screenwriter. So i quote him,

Holy shit, I'm thinking. It's a title. It's a concept. It's a poster and a logline and whatever else you need it to be. It's perfect. Perfect. It's the Everlasting Gobstopper of movie titles.

Snakes on a plane. Has to be Mutha F ing Snakes on a Mutha F in Plane! You can't beat that! That's the title of New Line Cinema's latest movie. It was originally one of New Line Cinema's smaller releases this summer. Now it is quite the rage in the US ahead of its release tomorrow. Unprecedent interest on the internet has led to this movie being billed as one of the most anticipated movies in recent times. The movie was intially rated PG-13. But scared that the movie would not match the huge expectations, the producers shot a few more days of blood curdling scenes to move the movie into an R rating.

Much of the internet interest was a result of this quite funny blog post by Josh Friedman who was initially approached to write the screenplay. Guess why he didn't do the movie eventually? Because the producers were at that time contemplating a name change. I agree, I wouldn't have either. The morons did actually the change the name to Pacific Air 120 or some such. Thankfully better sense prevailed and it was back to the glorius Snakes on a Plane.

See some awesome trailers of the movie here. Here you can get Samuel L Jackson to call you or your friend and say his cult line "Enough is enough! I have had it with these mutha F ing snakes on this mutha F in plane!". Read more interesting trivia about the movie here.The movie was apparently inspired from a World War II report about the Indonesian brown tree snake jumping onto cargo planes. One snake jumping onto a cargo plane is fine but how did the writer manage to get a busload of killer snakes onto a passenger aircraft when you can't even carry toothpaste? Well..I am off to find out tomorrow!
