Author Topic: What is the Best/Worst Way to Die? Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 11-27-2004 05:07 AM                     quote: Joe Redifer What would be the best and the worst possible method to die, do you think? I haven't tried any of them yet, so I can't really comment.  |  IP: Logged Brent Neal Jones Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Ennis, T.X., USA Registered: Nov 2001 posted 11-27-2004 02:59 PM                     Best way to die: Quickly and Quietly Worst: Dropping a Xenon in some isolated closet in the projection room with no one else around. The flying glass hits an artery and you bleed to death on your way downstairs with only two things on your mind. The song "It's a Small World Afterall" and "Damn it, I knew I should have put in a booth phone!" Well...it could happen...  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-27-2004 07:09 PM                     Well, I suppose "Death by Unga-Bunga"...if anyone remembers the ole joke, might be enjoyable for some, and sheer torture for others!  |  IP: Logged Wayne Keyser Master Film Handler Posts: 272 From: Arlington, Virginia, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 11-27-2004 11:12 PM                     Best: I've just made the last changeover, the final reel's running perfectly (it's a brand-new print of the first movie I remember seeing, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA), I douse the next-to-last arc on the Peerless, sit down ... and they find me when the tail leader for the last reel hits the screen leaving blank whiteness, the curtains fail to close and the house lights fail to go up. Worst: I'm stuck in a screening of THE PREACHER'S WIFE and my spouse is so entranced by the moronic crap on the screen that she fails to notice me gasping my last breaths begging for medical attention.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 11-27-2004 11:51 PM                        Leo's post about suicide by jumping in front of a train reminds me of the opening scene of the 2001 Japanese film Suicide Club (Jisatsu Circle). From Midnight Eye's review: quote: [...] watching Suicide Club is a special experience indeed. What to think of an opening sequence in which 54 uniformed schoolgirls commit simultaneous suicide by jumping hand-in-hand in front of a rush hour train at Shinjuku station, covering shocked commuters in geysers of blood that washes in red rivers over the concrete platform? Welcome to tonight's main attraction, don't bother buying popcorn. "Jumpers" are fairly common in Japan, enough so that some railroad companies in the Tokyo area now charge the deceased's family for the clean up and down time. I have this film on R3 DVD. The rest of the movie is indeed forgettable, but oh those first five minutes. I've used it as a video test just to see the reactions it gets.  |  IP: Logged Chase Hanson Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 11-28-2004 12:59 AM                     Best: Blaze of Glory Worst: Starvation  |  IP: Logged David Yauch Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Mesa, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 11-28-2004 04:55 AM                     Best: Heart attack during sexual intercourse. Worst: Anything involving the mutilation of my genital region. Leave it alone.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Then let go and let it expand in your mouth. Or be killed by a ninja\priate\black night  |  IP: Logged Shane Hoffmann Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Fond du Lac, WI, USA Registered: Feb 2003 posted 11-29-2004 12:13 AM                     Today,for the first time in my life, I saw, in person, a real fire in a house (flames bursting out all the windows, no chance of saving the house). I don't know if anyone was trapped inside, but I think being stuck in there would have to be one of the worst ways to go. Best way to go: die while in a coma so you don't know what's going on.  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 11-29-2004 06:31 PM                     Buy your own casket (I'll sell you one...wholesale); place it in your garage, and wait for the BIG day.
