Author	Topic: Songs in films have stooped to a new low....

PeterK FishChip	Look at this: http://www.tagworld.com/snakesonaplane Widening the rift between movie songs that might actually means something and songs hunted down and used in a movie without any merit other than to get bands to sign up on a website. Did I read it right?

TimT Standard Userer	LOl my sister told me about this movie. The premise is bizzare, but at least it has Samuel L. Jackson as a loud talking angry Black man...again.

Southall Standard Userer	Yes, Jackson's really become typecast playing black people.

Thor Standard Userer	Well, Peter, you have to agree that a "contest" to get songs into this film by some complete amateur is in perfect synch with the artistic ambitions of the film itself!

Al Standard Userer	And here I was going to see Snakes on a Plane for the music... well no more!

nuts_score Standard Userer	Snakes on a Plane has already become one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year simply from the fan boy internet buzz and frankly I'm going to enter Sean's and mine's band, Why the Hell Can't We Start a Freaking Script Together, into this fantabulous contest.

PeterD Standard Userer	A kind of amusing story about this movie: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060323/en_nm/snakes_dc

Sweeping goes in the general direction, I guess, but more than anything, a good melody is a must for me in movie songs. Good lyrics are a bonus, too... How're things Down Under? CK

Scorro Standard Userer	"The audio bit uses a Jackson sound-alike shouting, "I want these mother snakes off the mother plane!" " What a hoot. And to think that Shakespeare (yes, pre-aviation) or an infinite number of monkeys didn't pen that. Cinema just gets better and better.

El Cid Standard Userer	Snakes on a Plane will surely be the touchstone of a generation.
