[1:54
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
watched "the abyss". It was good
They
didn't have the special edition though, which I guess is longer but
better
It's
just an insane movie from a filming standpoint...
I'd
never do any of that stuff - fear of drowning + claustrophobic
[spoilers]
The special edition apparently adds stuff like the conflict &
tension between US & Russians on the surface, as well as a
tsunami the aliens send to destroy cities but they stop it just as it
arrives at the coasts
[2:02
PM]
I
thought it was Ok.
It
was during an extended period of "Let's do Alien but
underwater!" films.
All
the shock and horror was...basically...um...
Just
regular people doing their job and having accidents while making a
not unpleasant first contact
"This
film is so AWESOME!"
"Sure.
Now turn on the original 'Day the Earth Stood Still'."
Granted
“Abyss” had some great stuff in it.
[2:05
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
liked the attention to detail
[2:05
PM]
Yes
[2:05
PM] Mr. Blue:
They
could've easily skimmed through the details of the underwater stuff
like
decompression and all the other technical stuff.
Or
have characters who are inexplicably inept at their jobs
I
think instead of aliens it might've been neater if they were just an
intelligent deep sea life form but you don't find that out until the
end
[2:29
PM]
True,
it didn't need to be aliens.
I
can tell they spent a bazillion dollars on the alience ship, but I
didn't like it.
[2:31
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah,
the ship at the end sucked.
I
don't know how I'd have ended it, but to go through all that detail
and then "oh they brought us to the surface but somehow fixed it
so we wouldn't need to depressurize" seemed like a cop-out
[2:32
PM]
Definitely
[2:33
PM] Mr. Blue:
The
crew knew they hadn't depressurized and yet still opened the hatch
and stepped out
"How
come we didn't die?"
“Uhh...why
didn't you think about that before opening the hatch?"
[2:36
PM]
Yes.
All that effort and the harrowing descent in pink ooze and crap (that
stuff is real, BTW...yuck) and
"Hey
we're not fizzy goo! What COOL ALIENS magic is this?"
"It
must be the COOL ALIENS did it. Zow! We're humbled and
stuff."
[2:36
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
[2:37
PM]
The
aliens probably detected the nuke on the way down and neutralized it
and didn't think they needed to say anything.
[2:37
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL!
Yeah
I
assume they have anti-nuke capabilities on their ship if they can
just nullify the effects of crushing water pressure and
decompression.
[2:37
PM]
"There's
a guy in a suit out there..."
"(Sigh)
Fine... get him..."
[2:38
PM] Mr. Blue:
"We're
going to hold the entire race accountable for the actions of this 1
dude we met at the bottom of the ocean"
“This
twitchy, bleeding guy they sent to the depths of the sea for some
reason clearly speaks on everyone's behalf"
[2:41
PM]
(Defrib
scene...everyone gathered around, standing in water, wet...)
"Clear!" (Thump! Everyone falls over.
Credits start rolling)
[2:41
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
That
was a pretty tense scene, plausibility be damned
[2:43
PM]
Well
it wouldn't have actually hit anyone, but I pictured it in my head.
:D
[2:44
PM] Mr. Blue:
It
seems like half the cast and crew had nervous breakdowns during the
shoot
I
almost had one just thinking about the shoot
[2:45
PM]
Oh,
some of the stuff they had to do? Not surprised.
There
was one from that period that was in submarines...Leviathan?
[2:45
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah,
same year
[2:46
PM]
Russian
sub, everyone dead. "Rescuers" drank the vodka with
the experiment from Soviet R&D in it.
I
saw that one in the theater too
I
don't recall that one bein' quite so “hard science” ;)
(at
the restaurant after) "What exactly was the Russian plan with
this experiment? Put the stuff in a controlled environment, wait for
the results, and then...um...never recover any of it to study as it's
lost in a submarine? No wonder the USSR failed."
[2:53
PM] Mr. Blue:
The
same Soviets poured leaked radioactive materials down floor drains
[3:04
PM]
"Not
'The Peoples' problem."
[11:30
AM]
So
yesterday: (Mrs. Silver) "So how are you feeling after dropping
having a drink at night."
"Eh.
I mean I kind of miss the feel...felt like going to bed earlier."
(R
) "Me too about going to bed."
"Honestly
I'm not sure what I should expect. I've never studied the
subject. Just a sec."
(googles
"alcohol withdrawal symptoms”...reads...)
:O

[11:43
AM] Mr. McGreen:
idk
that i ever had a martini
[11:44
AM]
They're
rather shocking to start

demon vermouth takes over, however, they're rather nice.
[11:44
AM] Mr. McGreen:
Is
that what Bond drank?
[11:44
AM] Mr. Brown:
They
are really good
So
much that I have to stay away from them or i get to the drunk levels
i don't like
[11:44
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
love Irish carbombs
I'd
drink em all night
POW,
right in the kisser
[11:44
AM] Mr. Brown:
I'd
do a carbomb to close the bar
[11:45
AM]
I
think Bond may have switched to Vodka Martini because they didn't
want him constantly giving the instructions for making a
Vesper in movies.
(Busty
spy babe with auburn messy hair discovered in nothing but Bond's
shirt, barely held together with a single button – clothes and
shoes on chair)
“Drink,
Mr. Bond?”
(Pause,
winning Connery smile, starts setting aside spy gear and loosening up
tuxedo as Bond theme plays)
“Yesh.
Make me a Vesper. It's a dry martini but its to be served in a deep
champagne goblet. Start with a shaker of ice. Add three Imperial
measures – that's 25 milliliters each, dear - of Gordon's gin. Then
one measure of vodka...Russian. Then a half measure of Kina Lillet. Shake
until ice cold and pour. Then cut a large very thin slice of lemon
and-...”
(Girl
and clothes gone, hotel key on shirt on chair...)

Which
brings up "High Crimes and Misdemeanors".
I got thinking
about that over 1st break. And we'll need to know this stuff
when Mr. Brown takes the presidency.
I'm
wondering when misdemeanor became a legal term, instead of something
you just said in conversation.
'Cause
all it literally means - if I'm defining it correctly - is "acting
erratically or inappropriately", which
isn't a crime.
Was it a criminal legal term back in Founding Father times, or just commentary?
If it's just a person's behavior, then in the Constitution, all it really
means is - "if it turns out you elected an ass...kick him out."
So
maybe they DID predict some of the pinheads who've been in office.
"If
he's a criminal...or a fool...impeach him. Here is the review
process."
[1:29
PM] Mr. Brown:
You
got caught doing something not so great.
we
have to mark this on you record somehow, but
we don't want to get you in lots of trouble as it
was not that bad
We
will call that a “misdemenor”.
