KnightswoodBear Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 1 hour ago, DA Baracus said: Saw a film on Film 4 last night called 47 Metres Down. Two American woman on holiday in Mexico decide to do the old ‘diving with sharks’, i.e. going in to a metal cage under the sea (where seemingly life’s always better), with scuba gear, and viewing the sharks who swim by. They are having a nice time seeing some big b*****d sharks firing around when suddenly the cable keeping their cage attached to the boat snaps, and they plunge to the bottom of the sea floor, which is the eponymous depth. Anyway, I won’t spoil what happens, but just wanted to talk about how incredibly terrifying the depths of the seas/oceans are. There’s one scene that is more frightening that any horror I’ve ever seen where someone has to swim to retrieve something and is keeping as close to the sea floor (still at 47 metres down) as possible only for the floor to fall away and it be revealed that there’s a massive fucking chasm. The character has to swim across this massive chasm to the other side. Below them is just a dark depth, totally unknowable, and it’s absolutely terrifying. There’s a shot when they’re halfway across that pans out and shows the mental scale of things and how dark, cold and silent it all feels. The ocean depths are hugely interesting and intensely interesting but also massively frightening. Mental stuff. Also, good film. Give it a watch. It's got Mandy Moore in it, so I'm in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a spoiler. I can't tell you why without it being a spoiler though! Although I have put the spoiler in spoiler quotes on 'Last film you watched' thread on the TV/Film forum. 1 minute ago, KnightswoodBear said: It's got Mandy Moore in it, so I'm in.

ICTChris Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Grown men choosing to watch a film because they fancy an actress in it is pathetic. Thankfully, Mad Men is a TV show so it doesn’t count and I can strangle w**k myself to death watching Christina Hendricks guilt free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I was reading a book the other night and in I the guy mentioned that his twin daughters were born at only 28 weeks. Thankfully they were fine and are growing up normally with no complications. The guy thanked ‘the healing powers of prayer and the lord’. It was totally jarring and I actually laughed out loud. Absolutely mental, crazy stuff to say. If ‘the lord’ was responsible for them pulling through, then who was responsible for them being born prematurely and having to spend weeks in intensive care?! It reminded me of an episode of a TV show where a guy gets shot and dies for a minute or so on the operating table before being revived. He pulls through and is fine but describes having a sort of ‘near death experience’ where he sees his dad and some other folk. A friend asks him ‘what did Jesus say?’ as she’s convinced that he met Jesus when he died for that minute, not knowing of the dream he did have. She was utterly convinced that people meet Jesus when they did. Again, it was amusing and absolutely mental stuff. Is Jesus met everyone who died, he’d a very busy guy! Were he real of course. Anyway, religion is crazy, absolutely insane and if you came out with that type of shit and it wasn’t related to a religion you’d be viewed as a mentalist and widely ridiculed, and potentally a dangerous threat who requires restraint and treatment. Not a new view at all, but hopefully more and more folk view religion as a crazy pile of shite and its influence is increasingly limited. Folk can practise it all they like, just like folk can worship a tree or perform a weird ritual like punching themselves in the duodenum every 5 hours (genuinely no more mental that praying numerous times a day in a certain direction) or any sort of hilarious batshit crazy stuff, and folk should be allowed to do so, as long as they aren’t harming anyone, but religion should have absolutely zero say in running things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
