OT: Death

Intimidator · #1 February 27th, 2004, 11:18 PM

You guys talked about "What dreams may come" great movie about the afterlife (After I saw that movie I kept thinking about it for 7 days straight, with some mushroom help indeed

)

But back to the subject: don't forget the film "Flatliners", another strange view on Death.
(did not dare to sleep with a girl for over 2 years

)

See ya all, In space or after.........

Sphere {link} came out in 1998.

I believe that our beliefs about the afterlife are crude approximations; the reality will exceed anything we can imagine.

I've read Sphere, but that was a few years ago and I don't remember all of the details. I'll take your word for it, because I think that was one of Crichton's worse books. I didn't really care for it enough to read it again.

So there is a movie about this book?
Is it in the theaters now?

The movie is not very good, but still ok for a friday night flick. The book goes much deeper into what the sphere is actually allowing them to do and how they manipulate each other.

If I was, I AM SORRY!

Who says he have a son?
Oh wait, we are his sons!

I hope you aren't taking seriuously that crappy movie that started Last Wednesday.
That movie doesn't deserve your thoughts, not your time, least of all your money.

Go and watch Return of the King again instead.

I have absolutely no desire to see Mel's new movie. Just does not interest me in the slightest.

ugg, flatliners. i think there was a sequel, and if not, then there was atleast another terrible filem with an almost identical premise - came out Last year.

was called.. umm.. well, i cant remember what it was called. but it was about people dieing and coming back after cheating death, and death trying to catch up with them. they kept narrowly avoiding accidents and having near-misses with fatal situations. very silly. Not intentionally silly like Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, but unintentionally silly.

I enjoyed Jacob's Ladder. Very good movie about death.

Personally, I dont think theres anything afterwards. All the stories to the contrary are concocted to encourage certain modes of behavior, or to either deffer or instill a sense of responsibility for events in your life. But you dont care what i think, and thats why god invented the 'ignore' list.

well, P, in one of the earlier threads, i logically proved that i cannot be the result of random electro-magnetic fluctuations in my brain, but only one person understood what i was saying. he didn't agree with me, but i still proved it.

Seriously, if you think about it, it does seem logical to think that what we believe death to be is exactly what it could be.

I thought about it but I don't understand why that would be logical? I don't think it matters what I think what death is going to be like. It's going to be what it is regardless of what I believe, wouldn't it?
