kelpdiver 2 #2 August 7, 2004 QuoteAnyone seen this movie? Looked pretty good. Based on true events of that couple out in Australia a few years ago. Was thinking about going next weekend. I'm not sure it makes for a whole movie, though Phone Booth worked a lot better than I'd have thought. But the reality of getting stranded in open ocean is likely to be much more boring until you're dead. If I'm ever in Australia, I'm not paying the full charter until they return me to port.

Ncrowe 0 #5 August 7, 2004 I'm pretty sure the only true part of the story is that they were left, everything after that is pure speculation. Buuuut i'm a big fan of scuba diving so i'll probably check it out. "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(ie, insurance scam). Given where they were, it's hard to see survival. At best you have 3 days without water.

And people wonder why I don't like a lot of movies set in our time. I'm all for Hollywood and the "willful suspension of disbelief." However, if you're going to set a movie in this reality, you have to abide by the rules in this reality, or I notice this and that, and get annoyed, and stop enjoying the movie (especially when it's that predictable). I mean, come on, the guy talks to a pizza guy, and doesn't notice that the voice is 100% different, or can't remember that forty five minutes later?witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on, admit it, Point Break is hilarious good fun. And guns with 100s of rounds are still perfectly fun to watch in a scene like the church at the end of The Killer.

DrunkMonkey 0 #21 August 9, 2004 Quoteps - anybody who knows their ass from their elbow concerning guns knows Phone Booth sucked. "Hollow point shells, they blow up on impact..." My guess is that "blow up on impact" refers to their tendancy to mushroom on impact with a hard object... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 0 #22 August 9, 2004 I don't have the exact qupte because I refuse to watch the movie again, but the sniper is telling the guy in the phone booth that the dead cop (shot with a rifle) will be blamed on him because the sniper stashed a pistol in the booth. When the schmuck in the booth says something about having seen cop shows, and knowing the they can tell bullets apart, the sniper answers that he's using hollowpoints, and they dont leave anything for forensic tech guys to look at. Yes, hollow point open up. They act more like a sharp metal flower than a mushroom. There are other rounds with intentionally limited expansion that act like mushroms. Anyway, the movie is full of shit and not worth wasting your time on. My first post should have said "anybody who knows their asshole fromt heir elbow knows 'Phone Booth' sucked" guns or no. Just as bad was 'Liberty Stands Still.'witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #23 August 9, 2004 So tell me again how a thread asking if someone has seen a movie on scuba diving turned into a yet another argument thread...this time on weapon forensics?

PLFXpert 0 #24 August 9, 2004 The reviews have been spectacular; even the critics are saying it keeps you scared and in suspense the entire time; with an ending you would not suspect. I saw previews during "shark week" on the discovery channel and thought it looked OK; but then after seeing all these reviews, I might actually go to the theatre to see it and I rarely ever watch anything than DVD's at home. We had some free passes, though, to see "The Village." Don't bother going for that one!Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
