Spoilers: [spoiler]His intention was to make the villain run in the exceptionally cold climate for the sole purpose of inflicting an agonizing death by drowning in one's own blood after freezing and bursting the capillaries in the lungs (as was the fate of the girl that had been raped/left for dead). The only reason the villain dies is because he's running and exerting himself in the sub-zero temperatures and freezing his lungs. Renner is not exerting himself and out-of-breath, so there is no problem. The movie pays special attention to this fact and almost always shows Renner's character walking slowly and diligently.The shoes (or lack thereof) have nothing to do with dying; only tortuous frostbite. Right before all this takes place, Renner comments that today, it is "too cold for snow". The weather on that particular day, the higher altitude of being close to as high as the tallest mountain in Wyoming (also commented on by Renner in this scene), along with the distance from any civilization is why they're there. Because these factors make the whole lungs freezing problem worse, and to contrast the villain's cowardice with the "warrior" qualities of the girl who was left for dead, Renner comments that he won't make it 600 feet.

As others have mentioned, it's like finding out that your dad is a pedophile. RIP Bill Nye The Science Guy.
Person of Interest. It started off with a decent premise and ended up being a show I really enjoyed watching. I can't remember for sure around what episode it started falling apart, but I seem to remember it being about the end of the second season. The writing style changed completely, they started introducing and developing characters out of what seemed to be a desperate attempt to gain a broader audience or something, it started being filled with more and more nonsensical propaganda, and then it all just went downhill.
Thanks, Jim. Posting update logs like this is great, so thanks for keeping us updated! The website seems to be doing well so far, and only gaining momentum.
Ah, I see. Yes, I completely agree, ignorance is no excuse, especially in this sort of context. And although the latter of what you mentioned could very well be more likely (which it probably is), I don't want to assume to know for sure. But yes, you're probably right.
I think I see what point you're trying to make (which yes, is very obvious, and no, not something that has "gone over my head"). However, the format of your reply makes it hard to understand just what you are talking about without assuming all sorts of things. Are you being sarcastic and trying to make a point? Or are you just completely confused? Or or you replying to a different topic? Just say what you are trying to say. People should not wildly assume things; It's foolish and only confuses people.
Thank you for clarifying all that for us, Jim! I, among many others no doubt, am very relieved to know that you are on the right side of this ordeal and I'm glad you've stopped that situation before it can do more damage. Keep up the good work.
I meant on average across most social platforms and popular forums across the web, including many of the IMDB discussions. There hasn't been nearly as much of that nonsense here, which is great. I'm not used to seeing many mature discussions on popular, active forums, so this place is a nice deviation from all the nonsense troll garbage that ruins so many discussions and conversations (so far, anyway).
Oh, it doesn't seem to be bad here, no. That is what is surprising. Most places are overrun with idiots who just post nonsense and argue with everything "because reasons". I'm glad to see that there are actually some real conversations happening around here instead of just the usual illogical nonsense that plagues most social boards and sites.
2006. ;) I will edit my original comment to clarify. I thought about that when I typed it, but then didn't do it anyway, ha.
