Comic Con 2006 Part Two
Last Friday a handful of "web bloggers" and myself sat down to talk to Samuel L. Jackson for about 20 minutes about the business of snakes and the planes that they are on. I gave Sam a drawing of himself jumping out of an exploding airplane, asked him what he was most afraid of on earth, and mentioned something about "United 93" if I recall. I would host the video of the interview but bandwidth issues currently prevent that (and I am off-screen anyway so it doesn't matter).
If "Snakes on a Plane" has given us anything, it's the renewed joy of sitting around coming up with better names for movies.
I got invited to Hollywood Premiere of Snakes on a Plane, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to go (ticket's free but I gotta pay for the flight).

"The Movie Where Samuel L. Jackson TASERS A SNAKE IN THE FACE" works for me.
As soon as I read "I got invited to the Hollywood premiere" I physically burst out laughing.
When you get down to it, that fact that it exploded into something of such magnitude is hilarious.
I love the shirts.
jeffrey rowland you get your motherf***ing butt on that motherf***ing plane to see that premier.
Seriously, how often to you get a chance to go to a premier. Go for it.
I've seen "snakes" 3 times. Shhh! Don't tell anybody.
And it's not so bad.
Who needs bandwidth for video anymore? Youtube it plz!
You should hold a fundraiser. Just promise to document it somehow, and your peeps will totally get you there.
However you make it happen, you absolutely should go. You will deeply regret it if you don't.
:C

Yeah, just think about all the flashing lights and carpets of red. Yes. Thats right.
CARPETS OF RED.
You can't just find carpets of red anywhere. Legally, they're only in Hollywood.
holy shit yes you gotta go to that premiere. you can get your picture taken with sammy j. in front of all the paparazzi.
don't get all flaccid now, jeffrey. if it means killing a man and stealing his wallet full of cards you may or may not know how to use before they're frozen, you have to get to that fuckin premiere. murder-style.
jeffry don't go.
what if it's really bad.
you'll hate yourself forever.
Damnit Jeffery, that is what you tube is for!
GO! GO! GO! When is the next time you will be invited to a hollywood premiere? Nermy said it correctly. GO!
you should go to the premiere, but not for the movie. the best part of premieres is the after party. lots of free liquors n eats and usually rather pretty girls in abundance. i know because i have been to premieres as a guest and as an employee.
it is also great people watching since so many people in the LA movie scene are ridiculous. it should be great material to bring home to your drawing table.
YOO TOOB
Come on man, this is so necessary.
Do it. Do that thing. Free booze! Free nibblez! And, if the movie is really, really dreadful, a never-to-be-repeated opportunity to have a huge go at Sam Jackson. How many inter-net car-toonists will ever be able to say they were invited to a premier? How many of them will be able to claim they dissed Samual L. "Badass" Jackson? Or, indeed, praised him to his face without his securidroids intervening?
You could always have a camera-style whip-round amongst your readership to raise plane-ticket monies. DO IT JEFF.
If you go, will you wear classy slacks, a blazer and a snakes on a plane t-shirt?
Dude, if you do go, dont go by plane. Because the irony gods have a cruel sense of....wait...what's the word i'm looking for here...humour, that's the word. Or irony even.
But yeah, there would undoubtedly be snakes on the plane. And terrars. And no air marshalls. And you without your tazer.
you could make a torrent of the video.
If money was no object, I'd say go since you probably would regret it.
So that just leaves one problem. Besides fundraising, would you consider auctioning anything SoaP-related? Might raise some of the cash.
I'd contribute to your ticket fund. You have to go--you're one of the main reasons this movie is as big as it is.
Plus what everyone else said, and you need to rock your Southern-ass out. Wear a SoaP shirt, but cut off the sleeves and carry around an empty beer can. Come on, J.Ro! I'm cheering for you!
Fundraising is for poor people! It's a tax writeoff. TopatoCo is a legitimate business.
I have a friend in LA who got in touch with me last night and or schedules are in tune so I think I am leaning toward going.
I tried to upload the video to youtube but it said "terms of use violations" and basically I hate youtube.
Money is a fleeting thing indeed, but being able to say you got to go to a movie premiere with big shot Hollywood actors for the rest of your life is a pretty good story. The real question is whether its worth X dollars for a movie, a story, and a memory for life which only you can decide.
OMG JEFFR YOU MUST COME TO HOLLYWOOD YOU CAN CRASH ON MY COUCH STOP
AT THE VERY LEAST WE MUST MEET UP FOR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES STOP
THAT IS ALL FULL STOP
we've been in the sun, driving in the sun, looking out for #1, california here we go!
Start a get jeff to Hollywood so he can be more famous then everyone else donation bar I would donate, and i m sure everyone would, even satan, cause jeff is still more famous than him.
Do it, man. Good movie or not, it's a business opportunity. Take a bale of shirts and give 'em away to actors. Puke on someone famous at the party.
It is always worth it to come to Hollywood. We have a good city here. Really! What with the stars in the sidewalk and the stars walking on the sidewalks. Maybe someday you too will be a star Jeffrey Rowland. Although you are on the interweb of course...but a star to the mere mortals of Hollywood land.
Yes. Go! Take over Hollywood with your brilliant catch phrases and alcoholic cat.
So what is Sam Jackson's greatest fear? You can't tease is with that tidbit and not deliver the goods, man! Unless you took a Sacred Samuel L. Jackson Vow of Silence in which case that is ok.
Then use Google Video! You need to be resourcefull Jeff!
you pretty much need to go to that there premiere. and wear one of the snakes flying a plane tshirts. and either pin on or carry a sign that says "i made this here t-shirt." and all us inter net folks will see you in the photos from the premiere and smile at our monitors.
I second the antique's suggestion of a torrent. If you don't have any experience with them, i'd be happy to post and host it.
William email me and I'll send you the link to the .mov.
William email me and I'll send you the link to the .mov.
Jeff, if you don't want the tix I'd be willing to take them off your hands for a TRIPLE-DIGIT figure. Only if you don't want to go, though.
Oh yeah, and if you want to come out feel free to crash on my couch. And by my couch I mean my parents couch. And by parents couch I mean I've talked for too long just please come.
Mister Rowland, I say — GO TO THAT PREMIERE! :D Just, um… drive or something — you never know who might put snakes on the plane you're taking… <.<; >.>;
Anyway, I have a suggestion — instead of YouTube, try Google Video (http://video.google.com). I'm not sure if the Terms and Conditions are any different for GV, as I don't have time to read the TaC (it's thundering outside, really loudly), but please — do something to host the video! :D
As far as I'm concerned, "Hotel Rwanda" is "People are Dicks."
Mmmm... dicks.
