Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Soon there will be many, many spin offs like "Sharks in a Honda Civic," "Rhinos on a Train," "Dolphins on a Bike."

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.

Snakes on a Plane isn't about good cinema, it's about fun cinema
i would happily pay $9 for a movie that i know is going to be utter nonsense, and just laugh my ass off at the lunacy & just have a good time....when I see it (and yes i will see it) i won't be disappointed because i will be expecting cheesy, stupid & ridiculous...anything less, and i won't care because i wasn't expecting anything anyway. anything more & it's a bonus
Besides, there is a chance that this might be a legitimately good movie. granted, the chance is slim. Really really really really slim. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly slim it is...but it's still a chance. And remember, Alien was originally supposed to be a forgetable, bombing B-rate movie

I think Samuel L is very lucky that people online are treating his steaming turd of a movie the way they are, because now he will have a hit instead of a turkey.

Samuel L Jackson said in an interview that the only reason he took the job was because of the name. They were planning on changing the name, but Jackson wouldn't let them. I think it's obvious he knows what he's doing. Seriously, they even implemented the "motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane" line into the movie. How can the writers not be in on the joke? Did you watch the trailer? It had a clip of Jackson using a snake as a WHIP. If you honestly think that Samuel and the writers and the director don't know what they're doing, then you're seriously underestimating them.
Besides, even if the entire crew IS taking this film seriously, the audience still isn't going too. Even in the slim chance that they actually think they're making an AMAZING, THOUGHT PROVOKING MOVIE, that still doesn't change the fact that it's so terrible it's bad. In fact, it'd probably only make it funnier, seeing Jackson do interviews talking about how he thinks the movie has reached out and made a huge impact on several people.

I read that interview too, and I must say Samuel L is a clever guy. He signed up for a shitty movie because he seems to has no standards whatsoever. He didn't care if it was good or bad or what the title was. But then people online started questioning this shit title, and then started saying 'this is so bad it's good' and jackson basically jumped on board and went along with it, and now it looks like that was the plan all along, but it so wasn't.
Do you think Arnold Swcarzenegger made all those bad bad movies in the 80s and early 90s with his tongue in his cheek? No, they were just bad movies, but now they ahv a cult 'so bad it's good' following. Same with Hasselhoff, Chuck Norris, and all those kind of guys.
Samuel L has taken a situation and turned it around to work in his favour. Good on him. But Ric is right - hollywood will try and repeat the success by forcing cult status onto movies before they are even released.

But suddenly, due to the ridiculous working title that leaked, a hype has been created around this movie, in order to make fun of it. It was an internet fad like all others. And the studio saw the oportunity to promote this film due to it's stupidity, using this hype - WHICH, I belive, COULD have been fabricated. This could all be a huge PLANT to generate such a hype.
So now we will have a precedent. Just because Hollywood has produced nothing but moronic crap for the past 20 years, with very few exceptions, it dosen't mean it should keep doing it. But now they've seen how stupid we are to praise that movie. I have nothing against making fun of it, but it's sad because now the studios will have a precedent: "Oh we made that piece of crap called Snakes on a Plane and the audience loved it! All we needed is the internet and a 5 day reshoot based on it!"
This whole thing reminds me of the producer on "Ed Wood":
"I don't produce films, I produce crap!" - "Is there a script?" - "Hell no! But... there's a poster!"

Best movie ever.
I think this is what happened with that series...
Evil Dead - Were being serious and kinda pulled it off
Evil Dead II - Were being slightly silly, but still overall serious
Evil Dead III (Army of Darkness) - Just didn't want to take it serious at all.

EDIT: Found it on Wikipedia. It's not mine, but I'm sure it's better than the real poster will be. I love it.

I think not!
Perhaps it was he that made the prequels what they are.
Um, ok, maybe not.
