When I saw this comment, my first thought was "this explanation must be useful for people who don't get internet references, like old people". And then I remembered the movie is from 2006. Oh god we're the old people making not so topical references to ancient stuff and wondering why the young people don't get them.

One of the scariest moments in my life was when I went to Portland to visit my cousins. We got to talking about their parents, my aunt and uncle and so forth.

We were all getting up in years, just as their parents and mine did.

And then one of my cousins said "now we are them!"

Snakes on a Plane is almost exactly the same age today that Silence of the Lambs was when SoaP was released.

I remember the history unrolling differently than wiki says, but I'm not entirely sure... Didn't the entire idea start on 4chan in the early 2000s?
