  The Die-Hard crossover
I’m tired of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday Train!!!!i!
- I would actually be all for having snakes fighting monkeys on the Monday to Friday train. Certainly would be much more entertaining going to and from work.
  
  You say that until you have to watch a snake slowly eat the monkey, then it becomes awkward.

  I've had it with this motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking shinkansen
Deleted scene from the Brad Pitt movie.
If only it was a plane they'd have known what to do...
- they can now make the sequel Snakes On A Train and claim it's based on this real life event 😆
  
  I just want Samuel Jackson to full commit and make a Sam-I-am cinematic universe where snakes are on everything from Green Eggs and Ham
The snake never got a back story. Why does the water bottle get a back story but not the snake?

The snake kills like fifty people in the movie, it deserves a back story!
If you see Brad Pitt, better get off that train.
- That or just stand directly behind him - his luck will protect you.
  
  Be the water bottle.
Everyone quoting SLJ here, but this train .... has melons
Holy shit the "don't use your snake to keep the door open" sign was there for a reason?!?!

I'll try to remember to link the picture I took of it here when I get home from work, that's a real thing
Damn it, I was wondering where I'd left Larry. Sorry everyone.
- Larry! That scamp!
  
  Right? Always escaping from my briefcase when I'm on the bullet train!
Everything is a Cinematic Universe nowadays
俺様はヘビも飛行機も大嫌いだ！
Weird. I thought this would be a thread of Throw Mama Off the Train references.

- Too damn sultry on the platform.
An absolute gift to headline writers.
