Giant wallet raping life suckers. In 3D, so the audience can share the joke with the film's accountantcy firm Spielberg, Lucas & Ford

kongisking said:Oh, right, the topic...I still support the demands to see sharks.
Montana Smith said:
No, but seriously, sharks are evil, and while they may not crawl, they creep around in the water looking menacing:

I presume you kid about sharks being evil, right? Jaws, masterpiece that it is, really unfairly hurt their reputation.
QUINT
(flat and quiet)
On her and torpedoed right off her.
Into the drink with 900 other clowns
...Started with 900 anyway...floating
in that big warm Pacific.
(the light surfaces again)
Must have been like a dinner bell
in there...Explosions, and half
the guys bleeding. Soon as the
sharks came homing in on us, we
went by the Manual, of course...
Kept trying to float in groups...
doin' what if said, splash at 'em,
yell at 'em, hit 'em on the nose,
they won't bother you...all that.
They tore apart about a hundred
men, the first night. And pretty
soon, when they stepped it up, and
you'd feel 'em bump you, and guys'd
get pulled down a couple of yards
away, and it got to two days...and
three...Well, some fellas couldn't
take it no more, just peeled off
their life-jackets, got it over with
...We were in the water 110 hours.
Sharks averaged six men an hour.
(nails Hooper a hard look)
They're all experts.

But you never know from their lifeless black eyes which one will attack.
Quint's monologue about the USS Indianapolis is a chilling addition to the mythology:

Spurlock said:Oh man I heard of those, China is having a total infestation, evens deaths, from them right now. They only problem with these is they'd need to be 1)CGI again, even though the ants were smart and scary, they didn't really look real enough to actually install much fear, and 2)it was pretty ridiculous for the ants to carry a fully grown man, and I just know these would need to pick some poor bastard up.
But I still like the idea, maybe Indy could light fire to something to get it all smokey, and then swim away or something? Like he could hear the swarm from a distance and as for a lighter from his companion that smokes (at the reluctance of Indy), and Indy lights a torch to calm them. Maybe it could be like ToD, just replace the water surging through the mines, with the hornets.
kongisking said:Using CG for insects is totally permissible in my opinion. Bugs look unreal enough already!
Spurlock said:I think that was the exact thinking for the prairie dogs. Look how that turned out.
And bugs maybe look unreal, but they don't look fake like half the scenes in the ant hill looked. If they can actually bother with good effects this time then that'd be fine, but don't bother if you can't pull it off.
The Drifter said:I think that there needs to be an influx of old women flocking around our hero. Ripping at his clothes, clawing at his flesh and gumming his skin.
A moving sea of blue hair, wrinkled skin, with the smell of Polident in the air...

They say that most of the things an individual finds scary are not something instilled at birth, but born out of personal experiences over our lives.The Drifter said:I think that there needs to be an influx of old women flocking around our hero.

kongisking said:I doubt that was the thinking behind the prairie dogs. And besides, my comment was half-joking.
I suppose the question to ask here is: how on Earth would you do the ant scene, then, if CG was banned from production? How do you possibly make killer ants look more real than how they were done in the film? They're ants: they don't require a crap-ton of detail on their exoskeletons. I doubt animatronic ants would be either practical or more realistic.
And keep in mind, I'm not being hostile with this point. I like ya, Spurlock, and would be glad to keep the conversation going if it's civil (in spite of my snark).
