As it said "based on a true story" at the start, you expected a 999-rescue, disaster type affair. You know, with survival and hope and that sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>Oh bloody no.<BR/><BR/>You get to watch these two people gradually fade away. And, as it really happened, all the dialogue and their speculated fate seemed really distasteful. <BR/><BR/>Rubbish. That film was rubbish. <BR/><BR/>But, JRod has a point, the sharks played their role to perfection.The Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314238450779293325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894328.post-85495552305590900002008-01-26T14:56:00.000+00:002008-01-26T14:56:00.000+00:00Sharks are cuteSharks are cuteJrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855673052242389414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894328.post-21384400820279876512008-01-25T22:15:00.000+00:002008-01-25T22:15:00.000+00:00Isn't "Open Water" based on a true story?

They did, indeed, fix it: for a bargainous £150 including the upgrading of my RAM. <BR/><BR/>This seems to have had no discernable effect. It’s still a bit slow and crap. So that’s annoying. <BR/><BR/>Even more annoyingly, I also watched “Open Water” the other day. Don’t watch it. The photography and directing is excellent, but the concept is deeply flawed. I will tell you how it ends. The only two characters in the film have a slow, agonising, awful death. The point of the film is that you get to watch that lovely experience. They are stranded in the middle of the sea and, over the course of days, are eaten by sharks/drowned/depressed/etc. It was like watching an Indian drama. <BR/><BR/>Why would anyone make a film about that? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? I mean, if you want to make an unpleasant film, go to Africa and find someone with a terminal, deforming skin disease. Film him. We’ll he 110 minutes worth of kicks out of that.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the rant. But that film made me very, very angry. <BR/><BR/>I also bought a fancy new webcam today. So, hopefully, we won’t have to worry about running out of batteries any more. <BR/><BR/>So, yeah. That’s my life strangers of the blogosphere…The Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314238450779293325noreply@blogger.com
