The Ice bit...


I had a difficult time dealing with the fact the guy was acting like he came out of a huge battle with monsters when he cooled his body down. There is no way that the bags of ice would have cooled his body that much and secondly he would recover his core temperature within a few minutes after walking about, yet somehow all the way till the end of the movie he looked like he was about to die. Maybe because he has CDS syndrome.

the ice bit was dumb. REALY dumb! it had me up until then. how about just cover yourself in bags of ice (he would have moved faster) and shut the freakin' car door!

Terrible scene, it spoiled the movie.

So, in an identical situation, you guys would search for a calculator and start to do some maths. Give me a break.
Really, in that situation i would be scared to sh it (2 people have just died in the weirdest way ever), so the first thing that i would think of that seems like a solution, i would use it in the same second. I would be too worried to think about the best way to do it.
And ffs, that happened before 10 PM or something. Now you're talking about waiting until mornig? Inside the refrigerator? With that thing on the roof? Yeah, right, be my guest.

Some "medical" errors here and there. So what? The spike think growing up inside you and breaking all your bones and possessing you isn't possible either.
If it's possible, oh sh it, get tha *beep* away from me!

I gave it a huge 6/10, but i think it deserves like a 6.8.
It can't have a 7 ofc, but it's almost there imo.

Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in *beep* Bruges.

Except he's laying there for n number of minutes with ice on his chest trying to freeze himself. Plenty of time to think of...why don't I just...?

yeah, stage one hypothermia starts with just around a one degree drop in core temp. and he was in the bottom range of stage two. at that point you DON'T think clearly, and that's without the pants-soiling kind of stress and terror they were all dealing with. carrying the ice might have allowed him to react/move quicker, but how would you secure it?

You're watching a horror movie about some critter not only moving around when it ought to be dead, but also infecting people with splinters and turning them into zombies, and you find the "ice bit" hard to swallow? Seriously?

... the hardest thing in this world is to live in it...

Ladies and gentlemen, here's the answer to all your questions.
You can close the topic now.

Your comment reminds me of the number 42... because it is The Answer.

"Sure - I just like TV better."
