This can't be a serious movie.
Heh, of COURSE it's not a serious movie. The director and writor and even Samuel L. Jackson all know that it's just a big joke, and they're playing it that way. The reason there's so much internet buzz about it is because it's such a ridiculously horrible idea that it's hilarious funny because you can't imagine why anyone would ever actually make it.
I'm sure you've enjoyed movies or TV shows like that in the past.
It's NOT suppose to be a forgettable b-rate movie. It's suppose to be a movie passing itself off as a b-rate movie in order to make a joke. I don't see why it's so hard to understand. It's a style of humor which has been around for a quite some time now.
Things that are ridiculously bad = funny because they're so ridiculous. Why do you think people like those Sci-Fi channel original movies?
And as for the "it's okay to produce crap" statement: it's been okay to produce crap, for like, the past 15 years. Let's assume for a moment that Snakes on a Plane is actually suppose to be taken seriously. Even if that were the case, it's not the first terrible movie ever made. You make it sound like every other movie on earth is a MASTERPIECE. I highly doubt this movie will be as bad as WHITE CHICKS, or 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS.
Good cinema is officially dead the moment Sam L Jackson says "There are muthaf**ing snakes on the plane!" and the whole audience cheers.

And what was supposed to be a forgeatable, bombing B-rate movie, is now going to give precedence to the studios. It is OK to produce crap, the audience buys it.

There's a difference between "cheers" and "laughs." You make it sound like people who are going to watch this movie, are doing so in a SERIOUS manner. I bet 90%, maybe higher, of people who see this movie, will not take any moment of it seriously. Just think of it as a comedy.
And I don't see how this will be the death of "good cinema," since the two are hardly comparable. You can't compare something which is TRYING to be bad, to something which is good. That's just an unfair comparison.
