20 years ago, Samuel L. Jackson threatened to walk off 'Snakes on a Plane' —here's why

Samuel L. Jackson in Snakes on a Plane.

I’m a sucker for a terrible movie on cable. I’m not sure if there’s a better feeling than sinking into your couch on a Sunday afternoon and flipping through the channels to find a mediocre movie on TNT or FX. This feeling is why I refuse to cut the cord — at least until I can’t afford it anymore.

“Snakes on a Plane” is a bad movie, but it’s not a typical bad movie. I like watching “Snakes on a Plane” because it's unapologetically ridiculous and wickedly entertaining. It’s a “so bad it’s good” movie. It’s not going to win any Oscars, and it shouldn’t. It’s not going to be in someone’s four favorites on Letterboxd.
