bloody_trauma 2 #26 April 23, 2007 watching the base jumpers on the caves episode in HD was pretty damn awesome, i think if i ever start filming jumps ill do it solely in HD, absolutely stunningFly it like you stole it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #27 April 23, 2007 The version they showed about the desert earlier today was absolutely hilarious. I don't know how the narrator, Sigorney Weaver, kept a steady voice while reading the dialogue on the "wild ass". "The female ass is even more unpredictable..." I about projectile spit beer on my 60" tv screen when I heard that line. Who ever wrote the dialogue was definatly using a double entendre."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elias123 0 #29 April 23, 2007 http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=5632 I don't understand why they changed narrators though. The Brittish version, with David Attenborough, is way better. There is also "The "Blue Planet", also with David attenborough as narrator. It's about life in the seas and oceans. Also a very cool series. I always watch an episode of planet earth or the blue planet on my computer before i go to sleep, it calmes me down "In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darius11 12 #30 April 23, 2007 Was any one else having a heart attack when they saw the cave scuba divers squeezing threw the rocks? I think I shit my self and held my breath at the same time..... a very hard thing to do.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elias123 0 #31 April 23, 2007 to me this underwater cave exploring looks even more dangerous than basejumping, if your lifeline snaps and your ox runs out your fucked"In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #33 April 23, 2007 Yea and they were going threw some very tight openings if a line is punctured that’s it you are done. I think when they were in the wide area of the cave it was cool very freaky but still cool. The small spaces under water HELL NO and I am not even claustrophobic.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a life! He's really got this relaxing way when he narrate. Weaver, has an ok voice for the job. But I just can't get over the fact I keep looking for an Alien to pop out of a cave or something and try to kill everything on the screen. I'm very curious if when I go to purchase my DVD set in HD DVD / Bluray will they give the option of the BBC version or the Discovery Channel version. Hmmm "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

True But for me it's more for the fact that David Attenborough has the knowledge to back up his narration. People like Weaver (or whatever rent-a-celeb is narrating whichever series) are just reading from a script. Attenborough is involved with the programme, and has more knowledge about the natural world contained in his little finger than most people will ever have.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
