The film is Hollywood execs making a bad film and watching consumers... consume it. I'm serious. You know that Ricky Bobby film thats currently number 1 in the country. Guess the story behind that one! It's supposed to be an insult to Southerners that love nascar. And you know why they're doing this? Because they have been doing it all along. How do you think any studio green lights a film with Nick Cannon?




The difference between Ricky Bobby and Snakes is in the marketing. Bobby, a comedy, was clearly aimed at fans of Nascar. The Nascar audience are predominantly Southern. The overall gist, that the studio was mocking the very folks it was targeting, seemed lost on them.

The other one, Snakes On A Plane, is being marketed as a campy action film. It's target audience, which is everyone and, potentially, no one, is already let in on the joke. With an absurd title like Snakes On A Plane, anyone who plunks down 10 dollars expecting cinematic greatness, is truly the idiot -- not the filmmaker.

As for Nick Cannon, Day Of The Dead is gonna be dope!
