I am scared of bears and sharks. People make fun of my fear, but I don't think it's irrational to be fearful of something that is much bigger than you, that really has no qualms about eating you. Insert joke about my penchant for tall men here.Regardless. Bears. Sharks. The Christian right. Scary shit.
So basically I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I threw on "Open Water" tonight. Maybe I was thinking "Oh yeah, I'm a tough chick and I rocked it at boot camp and I have a couple of beers in me and I'm staving off oppressing loneliness by trying to distract myself with the banalities of television because one can only run for so many hours in a given day and I can only put off the inevitability of sleep for so long". Oh shit. I was thinking that. Goddamnit.
Anyways. Irrespective of my utterly warped and rather tragic thought processes, I started watching this movie. And I got to the point where one of the crew announces that all are on board except we all know that's not the case. And then I Wikied the movie. And then I turned the movie off.
I mean, we all know what happened. They staged their own death and they are now lolling about in some tropical locale, shagging regular like and drinking nice drinks with umbrellas in them and eating shark fin soup. Right?
Right??

Strange film that, both scary and boring simultaneously...
I don't know what I was thinking to have sat through that whole movie. I guess I must have been tied down or something. But in the end they were rescued by a passing cruise ship that just pulled up and parked beside them. He boarded first and she was having so much fun decided to wait on the next ship. But everything turned out fin.... I mean fine.
I watched that movie too. And it just totally escalated my fear of swimming... even in the lake. I mean you are so out of your element. ANYTHING could be down there, in any direction. And you can swim at what, a ripping 2 kph? You stand a better chance on a deserted space ship with Sigourney Weaver.
LOL. Alien Sigourney or Avatar Sigourney.
Beasties are scary.
