mmmmm...beer 691 Posted October 7, 2015 My other favorite common occurence in movies is when guys crash through giant windows or glass doors cleanly. something tells me its alot more potentially gruesome and messy and slicey. Rather than just easily crashing through as the window breaks into a million equal little parts. Yeah think 30 butcher knives flying around and sticking up from the floor.

Djgb13 2,338 Posted October 8, 2015 My other favorite common occurence in movies is when guys crash through giant windows or glass doors cleanly. something tells me its alot more potentially gruesome and messy and slicey. Rather than just easily crashing through as the window breaks into a million equal little parts. It is. Had a guy come in when I was doing rounds in the ER who slammed through a window and swallowed glass in the process. Esophagus was severely cut and required surgery to immediately get the pieces out. Small, almost microscopic shards still went through his digestive tract. And kicking a door down when it's reinforced is dam near impossible like beers said. You can always try it for yourself but you'll probably injure your leg before you get it open Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 8, 2015 Just saw the movie and it was fantastic. It really brought the book to life faithfully and was riveting even tho I knew exactly what was going to happen. They cut a couple plot points and altered another but it worked and didn't detract at all from the story. Highly reccomend it if you have any interest in any of the themes.

shotsup 832 Posted January 1, 2016 Finally saw the movie. Was pretty awesome although very similar to Gravity at the end Better book. We just saw it night after Xmas (all read it) and book was So much funnier and better overall. I really felt it I didn't read it I wouldn't "get it" as much.

Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted January 1, 2016 Done with Matt Damon. And the whole Boston thing, Bill Burr included. You would think Boston is some huge city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw a lot of this movie and couldn't really stand him. The whole movie seemed like some big ego trip. Preferred Tom Hanks in Castaway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,814 Posted January 2, 2016 Read it and watched the movie....one of few times in my opinion the movie was better than the book. I have a science degree and even i got bored with the books obsession with the science of it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 3, 2016 Yep. The book got to be over the top boring with the minute details, but it was still entertaining. The movie was good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted January 11, 2016 Ok so this movie just won awards at the golden globes (like the oscars, its a movie awards show.)....in the comedy category. Im sorry btu this is a drama and not in any way, shape or form a comedy. Does he make a few jokes during the film? Yes, every movie has that. A comedy is where laughs are the focus. This could not be further from the case. Is Jurassic park a comedy? Is the Godfather a comedy? Is goodfellas a comedy? I laugh my ass off at that movie and there are hilarious lines, does that make it a comedy? This has got to be the strangest thing ever at an awards show.

shotsup 832 Posted January 11, 2016 My wife thinks it makes perfect sense in the comedy category. She thought it was funny. Wimmens (we've arguing about this for 10 minutes now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookz 1,287 Posted January 12, 2016 My wife thinks it makes perfect sense in the comedy category. She thought it was funny. Wimmens (we've arguing about this for 10 minutes now) When Kristen Wiig came on screen, I thought "what is she doing in this?!" Then she delivered her little quip and I thought "oh, it's that kind of movie", and there was no suspense or doubt from that point on that Matt Damon would live and get off the island.

Wimmens (we've arguing about this for 10 minutes now) A movie being funny doesnt make it a comedy. This shouldnt have to be said, its just how it it. Its not a comedy in any sense or stretch of the genre whatsoever in any conceivable way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
