So it’s here! The logo for the Summer’s most eagerly anticipated film, Snakes on a Plane. I think this could really be Samuel L. Jackson’s actual breakout role. All of us have been asking, “Does Sam Jackson (we’re tight like that, so I shorten it to “Sam.” I don’t recommend you try the same) have the versatility to battle snakes on a plane? We’ve all suspected so, but we’ve never gotten to see it in his otherwise accomplished career. There’s a curious scent on the wind. Be it … the perfume of an approaching Oscar?

That is neither here nor there. Well, it’s “there” if by “there” you mean in the future. So how do we wait until then, without going mad with anticipation? For starters, I invite all of you to take a peek, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, and internet buzz in general, of the official logo of “Snakes on a Plane.”

For my part, I would like to propose some taglines for the movie, to try to attract a larger audience to the film that will no doubt define the snakes-on-aviation genre for some time. So here goes:

“That’s not your seatbelt, it’s just one of many SNAKES on a PLANE!”
“Snakes: they’re not just for terror on the ground anymore.”
“Snakes with attitude at altitude!”
“What do you get when you load hundreds of snakes onto an aircraft? SNAKES ON A PLANE (that get loose!)!!”

Actually, I think the best idea is to have the tagline the same as the title, so the poster says

SNAKES ON A PLANE
“Snakes on a plane!”

Yeah, that’s the best. I’d also like to suggest a sequal, either “Snakes on a Bus,” “Snakes on a Cruise Liner” or, my favorite, “A Snake in a Cab.”
