snakes on a plane

1. I continue to overcome adversity and fight my crazy brains with Lexapro, as I --
2. Toil to complete my apocalyptothon assignment --
3. And am going to see The Black Rider tonight.
4. Punk, I will send up a flare when I get back.



From Newsweek:

The audio bit uses a Jackson sound-alike shouting, “I want these mother------- snakes off the mother------- plane!” Soon, the growing legion of fans added their voices as they demanded that that phrase also appear in the movie.

Apparently, the studio got the hint. When Ellis assembled Jackson and others for the recent shoot, the filmmakers added more gore, more death, more nudity, more snakes and more death scenes. And they shot a scene where Jackson does utter the line that fans have demanded.

Those involved with the film said the reshoots weren’t prompted by fans but rather by the existing footage that already was a hairline into R territory. Within the studio, the thinking was, “We’re already going to get an R, why not go all the way?” But the filmmakers do concede that the Jackson line will be in the movie for the sake of the fans.

Could this--oh, god, don't say it is--could this be the new world we started?

It does my heart good, every time I remember that it is fannish people--not the kind of people who work at my law firm--who run the world.
