My most memorable experience is Deep Blue Sea.
Plot: Genius sharks are bread as part of a science experiment to cure Alzheimer's. They're kept at an old Pacific WW2 refueling station. Really? And here I thought we had an "island hoping" strategy during WW2, but apparently we constructed massive bases in the middle of the ocean out of Titanium walls that extend all the way to the ocean floor. OK, I guess I stand corrected then. In our circle we had a former navy sailor, so seeing his reaction only added to the fun.
But I digress. So at this Pacific "refueling" base with it's Titanium fence that goes all the way to the ocean floor, they breed these genius sharks who figure out how to pummel their way in, through the Titanium walls, to feast on the crew. Um, yeah. Sure.
And why weren't they conducting this research at an aquarium again? Instead of going to the ruinously expensive route of refurbishing a 60 year old unlikely station out in the middle of nowhere Pacific? Oh, so they could be far away from help. Right.
Anyway, help arrives when a helicopter pulls one of the bodies up on a stretcher to med-evac one survivor. I don't remember how but the stretcher ended up in the water as the helicopter was lifting him out.
Me: "The sharks are going to pull the helicopter into the sea."
Everyone else: "No fucking way." "Even these filmmakers wouldn't go that far." "Too ridiculous."
Me: "I'm telling you, the sharks are going to pull the helicopter into the sea."
**Sharks not only pull the helicopter but pull the chord through the docks (!), tearing up the docks and then crash the helicopter into the control tower.**
Me: "I RULE!"
We should team up to take on Manos The Hand of Fate or another bad movie, maybe over Skype chat. I remember watching Deep Blue Sea, and even though it was years ago I was going "Yup" for every sentence of your review.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
