If Only Grown Ups Was Just Two Hours of This Insane Salma Hayek Snake Freakout
Salma Hayek may have writhed seductively with a snake during her centerpiece performance in From Dusk til Dawn, but since then, she's apparently developed a fear of the reptile that would rival Tyra's infamous dolphinphobia. Still, at least her terror can be put to a good use, as it was when she leaped out of her chair during an Extra interview and started freaking the f**k out all because an innocent lil' snake slithered into her field of vision. By producing this video, on display after the jump, the entirety of making Hayek star opposite Adam Sandler in Grown-Ups was not in vain. (Though this isn't going to get you into Indiana Jones 5, Salma.) [Extra via Vulture]

I can't breathe.
Seriously though, she has a clinical phobia of snakes.
'' But I played a part before that was the most challenging part for me because it confronted me with my biggest phobia and that was From Dusk Till Dawn... But to have to put on a bikini and dance with a snake that's 11 feet long... I went to the extent that I created a relationship with this snake... I had to go to hypnosis. It was months of preparation for that one dance. ''

I dunno if anyone here has a phobia, but if you're confronted with it head on-you lose your goddamn mind.
Still fucking hilarious though. I love the way Maya Rudolph is as cool as a frickin' cucumber throughout.
Reminds me of the phobia I developed about sharks after narrowly surviving a violent shark attack.
We still don't know where the shark got the gun.
Well now, this explains why Salma ran like hell when I approached her at the nightclub.
Another sad example of trailers giving away the most entertaining moments of the movie. Why even bother seeing "Grown Ups" now?
Oh that Mario Lopez.
S..atans N..ot A..K..ind E..nemy...snakes are totally evil and i have killed them since childhood and i will keep killing them they are all poisonous either in venom or in the symbolism they represent. i dont care what some panty wearing scientist says about 'environmental balance' ALMIGHTY GOD!!!!! SAYS THEY ARE CURSED ABOVE EVERYTHING.

Someday, I hope Movieline finds its audience, and in turn, the comments will flourish.
But for now, I must say, I am enjoying the schizo-ness of it all.
Now, I just told some people at work about Salma and two other women all writhing together on a director's chair and shrieking about a large snake, and I just received a harassment complaint from the HR office.
