I have it in my head that the Merlin miniseries is some obscure thing that had an audience of like 250, but every time I mention to someone their face lights up and they start gushing about it. Usually combined with a "I didn't think anyone else saw that" or "I haven't thought about that in years." I love how it very quietly and very politely made a small impact on so many people and then gracefully excused itself from the party.
Was going to say Black '47, but that was Hugo Weaving. I always confuse the two in my mind, even though when I'm looking at either there's no confusion
>That Merlin two part special from the 90’s
This is the actual answer, though

I liked Merlin a lot, but I'm scared of rewatching It.
People are living longer. Everyday, your body constantly replicate cells to replace damaged or old cells. BUT, this process is not perfect. Think of photocopying a picture and then making another photocopy of that copy and so on. Minor defects that are initially harmless will accumulate over time. As you grow older, these defects snowball and cause the replication process to go haywire, leading to cancer. The very oxygen you breathe causes cancer (reactive oxygen species). You blaming vaccines, mark you as a charlatan and should have been aborted after birth.
>not frightened of dying
That just means he doesn't really understand it. I literally shit myself into a blubbering mess whenever I think about it properly.
You should research this. I’m not saying people are excited and it varies from person to person but generally acceptance comes with age. Dosent mean there isn’t fear, just maybe not necessarily the pants shitting fear you’re envisioning.
>you go to the state you were in before you were born
Meh.
End of an era. The 90s, 00s and 10s are truly gone. Everything we considered normal and comforting and solid in our childhood is fading away. It is not contemporary. We may already be in the new era with future historians marking covid-19 as the starting point
Jurassic Park was 30 years ago. CGI and computers were considered newfangled and exciting, but 30 years on they are a part of life, like the automobile and electricity, I can't get my head around it, computers will always be "new" to me, and now AI is taking over, what was scifi speculation is now real, although rather janky at the moment it will replace a lot of jobs and cause a stire.
30 years before Jurassic Park it was 1963, JFK's brains were splattered over the back seat of his Lincoln Continental and they had not even passed the civil rights act yet. 48 years before Jurassic Park, ww2 had ended. To them ww2 was like 1975 for us, when 50 cent and Zach Braff were born. There is now more time between us and ww2 than between ww2 and the civil war.
Time flies, but on the other hand you do have a lot of time, unless of course you have blood cancer too, but chances are you do not, chances are you have decades ahead of you. Consider the past 3 years, over 1000 days, if you spent just one of those days doing something you always want to but fretted over for whatever psychological reason, it would be virtually no cost, it would only take 0.1% of your time. Many people say pride is the deadliest sin, but really it is sloth. Even if you are good, sloth will kill you, sloth will make you useless and accomplish nothing, the devil does not fear sinners, he fears the good and the works they do.
I always wonder how many anons died. From 2003 to now, millions visited this website. They are mostly millenials, a decent chunk are zoomers or gen-x. How many of them died young in an accident? Illness? An hero? Their shitty posts outlive them, stored in one of the archives. I wonder who is the first Cinemaphile user to die. Hell, who is the first Facebook user to die?
I stopped to contemplate that during the pandemic, how many anons died intubated in a hospital, alone, without parents or loved ones. We have a bunch of overweight lads here. It probably happened to a few of them and some didn't escape.
It's strange how incomprehensible death is to our brains when it is such a natural, fundamental part of life and reality. It goes completely against our programming, actually thinking about it gives you an error message and when someone around us dies it often doesn't compute either.
>It goes completely against our programming
what programming, what are you talking about, we evolved to go ooga booga eat colorful fruit, frick ass, shit, piss and sleep, we did not evolve abstract concepts, we evolved a big neo-cortex capable of abstract thought, but that is a clean slate that has to be filled with information through our life experiences like machine learning
You're on the path to some good Christian theology anon. It's thought in Christianity that the reason such a thing occurs is because in our natural bodies before the Fall of Man, death didnt occur. That's why we'll never get used to it.
I remember I was at work one time and was musing about death for some reason until it just hit me that death is really the end, you just stop existing forever, there's no coming back, and you're not even around to experience not existing. I thought about that last part so much that I almost had an existential breakdown in the middle of my shift, I had to force myself to think about other stuff.
That's the point, nobody does, not really. But it's such a gargantuan mindfrick that it can send you over the edge. If you stop perceiving life then when yours runs out, the whole universe dies. Doesn't matter whether it continues for billions of years afterwards, to all intents and purposes everything single thing is gone in an instant.

I think we are basically incapable of really considering our own death for more than a passing moment. I don’t mean some glib “I know I’ll die one day” comment but genuinely considering that you will die and what your cause of death may be and what it will be like after.
Most people can think about it for maybe one minute before going onto something else,
the quote in picrel unironically helped me a lot, and helped me "accept" death or at least come as close to accepting it as I currently can.
all I need to worry about is making sure my family we be taken care of after my death, what happens to me won't matter since I won't be around to experience it.
not to be an butthole, but how exactly did that quote help you cope? "we no longer exist" and it's just as dread-filling as any other sentiment about death
not to be an butthole, but how exactly did that quote help you cope? "we no longer exist" and it's just as dread-filling as any other sentiment about death
We exist with a certain barrier against considering things like mortality. On a basic level we're aware we're going to die. But the sheer existential dread of what that means is kept back from our minds or it'd be all we could ever think about and dwell on constantly.
Some people have crumbled walls and leaks come through though.
Mark Twain put it best for not being afraid of death: >I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.
i never got that quote. your being hadn't been ripped from the ether, shoved into a flesh prison, and given time to ruminate on the state of the world during those billions and billions of years
>you 'die' every time you go to sleep and aren't dreaming.
but every time i go to sleep i have a reasonable expectation that i will most likely wake up
I am not frightened of dying, you know
any time will do, i don't mind
why should i be frightened of dying?
there's no reason for it
you've gotta go sometime
>all the dorks replying to this acting like they're not afraid of death at all
reminds me of little kids telling adults about all the stuff they're not afraid of, genuinely sad that this is still a personality trait for some men in their 20s and 30s
As someone who came within days of death twice in the last 3 years trust me you really don't know how to you feel about it until you are staring it in the face.
Jurassic Park is the obvious one, but In the Mouth of Madness and most others are pretty great as well. He's one of those actors that never makes me think of his other roles while watching him in a film.
I nearly died when I was younger (doctors gave my parents "the talk" and everything) and I can say in all seriousness that it never bothered me once (even while laying in the ICU) or since. You can't escape the inevitable, so why worry about it? I'm glad to have been living during this era of medical science though, if I were born in a different age, that would've been a slow, agonizing fricking death.
Eh, I'm not afraid of dying at all. I don't want to kill myself as my hobbies and family give me a reason to live, but when it's time to die I'm going to be perfectly okay with it because it's a part of living and all things must come to an end. It's why religion is really stupid. Why the frick would I want to live forever? Can you imagine living forever and doing the same shit over and over for eternity? Even in "Heaven" that sound like Hell.
>when it's time to die I'm going to be perfectly okay with it because it's a part of living and all things must come to an end.
Fear is not controlled by the rational part of your mind. It's not a choice. You'll know how it makes you feel when you get there.
i quite literally yearn for death and think about it every single day. there is nothing more comforting than a a permanent escape from the burden of my existence.
I think there's a huge difference between dying and death. Most people think of death, as in being already dead and no longer existing in this reality, and I agree it's not all that scary. But dying, the process of feeling of your life and consciousness slipping away without any control whatsoever utterly terrifies me.
Pancreas and lung are the worst typically, but in general it’s like deciding if shit is better to eat brown or green. Either way no one in their right mind wants to eat shit at all.
It’s happening. The boomers are dying, and in a couple of years all of the WW2 generation will be completely dead (the youngest WW2 vet is 101 right now). The Gen Xers will retire as soon as they get the chance and go riding off before the sun rises so no one will notice they’re gone, as they have always preferred living in the shadows anyway. Then we’ll have to show our cards and reveal that millennials were dealt a bad hand at birth to the zoomers at our elbows who didn’t know the game ends when you run out of chips. Then perhaps for the first time in human history we’ll know what the dog does when he finally catches the car he’s been chasing all these years.
made all the better by it being a mostly true story.
I don't think the modern audience would have the attention span to make it through the first episode. Though the series is excellent all around, that first episode was like a 90-minute filter.
random uncontrollable mutations cause your blood cells to "come out wrong" and incapable of performing their normal functions, and they multiply, outnumbering the normal healthy cells.
Poisoned air, food, water. Anything really. Margarine is poison made to 'substitute' butter. It's not food, it just gives you cancer. Soft drinks produce over time the same poisonous fumes like car exhaust called benzene. Etc.
random uncontrollable mutations cause your blood cells to "come out wrong" and incapable of performing their normal functions, and they multiply, outnumbering the normal healthy cells.
isn't he English, white people were not meant to live in sunny countries like Australia, bet the cancer rates are sky high there.
He got blood cancer, not skin cancer. But you are right still. In New Zealand the sun's output of UV rays is like 40% stronger and they get more skin cancer there so they got to use sunblock all the time.
So then what am I supposed to eat? You want me to grow my own food or something? I live in an apartment complex, how am I supposed to make a farm here?
Blood is made in your bone marrow from blastcells.
They are cells that divide pretty quick since red blood cells have a short life.
They are in your bone marrow since this is the place in your body best protected from uv radiation (to prevent mutation) Bone has a lot of blood flowing through it.
Random mutations still occur after umpteenth cell division.
For a mutated cell to become cancerous you need at least 5 seperate mutations especially in the suicide program your cells activate when they are mutated (apopthosis)
There are 4 different blood cancers acute/chronic red blood cells/white blood cells.
To get rid of the cancer they blast your bone marrow with radiation to kill every blast cell
then you get new marrow from a compatible donor
Donors are hard to find since matching them to someone is a low chance unlike normal bloodtyping, family is most likely.
They harvest bone marrow by stabbing your pelvic crest with a frick huge needle to get little apple cores of marrow from it

I saw something yesterday that said we are the same distance away from 1990 as 1990 was from 1953.
I had to do the math, and realized it was right. Made me feel really old.
And the little food truck/cafe that would put 2 blood 2 sugar in the coffee. Then everyone rioting when they got stingy with the blood. >cars
Plus the auto blackening windows with the hud and camera to drive during the day was peak kino future movie tech.
>put some more FRICKING BLOOD >in my FRICKING COFEEE
Also the whole subtext of vampires running out of normal people as an analogy for the collapse of capitalism as a system that is only viable when growth is constant an infinite
Cancer is just your cells multiplying uncontrollably and not dying like they should. So what blood cancer just means he's got too much blood? Why not slit your wrists and bleed some out every day.
>Cancer is just your cells multiplying uncontrollably and not dying like they should.
Cancer cells are their own thing and they overtake the healthy cells. It's nothing to do with overall cell count.
There's still hope for Neil, but a death that got to me in ways I didn't expect was pic related. I genuinely liked the man from afar. I think it was the first time it happened.
I believe him. My grandma passed away when she was 74 and she said that she lived a wonderful life and it was now time to leave. I always cherish our memories of watching Courage the Cowardly Dog together.
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that about Sam Neill as I think he's a genuinely good, based, down-to-earth, approachable and humble man. My favourite Sam Neill film is the first Jurassic Park film. Enjoy Heaven with God when your time comes to finally leave this increasingly insane shithole world we live in.
This breaks my heart. Sam improves every project he’s ever been involved with. I honestly can’t name a favorite film because he’s consistently fantastic in everything.
I really liked him in "The Games" where he played 'Sam Neil' a consultant whose firm was looking to take on the contract for transportation over the Sydney Olympic games while knowing nothing about the logistics of the role, the transportation needs of the city or how to organise around massive events.
It was a really nice role as he was so oily in it.
is this recent? sad
yes
No. It was announced a long time ago.
THAT MEANS ITS WORKING
Event Horizon
Jurassic Park
That Merlin two part special from the 90’s
>two part special
I thought it was a whole series?
Maybe my memory from childhood is fricked.
Just two. Maybe have been split inter 3 but we had it one two VHS tapes.
Comfy viewing.
I think they split it up into shorter episodes in some countries.
It fricking sucks that he has cancer. I don't like it.
>That Merlin two part special from the 90’s
super based
How did that Merlin series make that much of an impact? I swear people know him more from that than Event Horizon.
I have it in my head that the Merlin miniseries is some obscure thing that had an audience of like 250, but every time I mention to someone their face lights up and they start gushing about it. Usually combined with a "I didn't think anyone else saw that" or "I haven't thought about that in years." I love how it very quietly and very politely made a small impact on so many people and then gracefully excused itself from the party.

naw in the mouth of madness
I liked Merlin a lot, but I'm scared of rewatching It.
My only memory off 9/11 was being pissed that the evenings episode of Merlin was cancelled due to the attacks.
this one
In the Mouth of Madness?
yes
do you read sutter cane?
i watched this yesterday. great movie. it really pulls you in.
Great shit.
AHHHHHHHHHH IM GOIN CRAZY, SAVE ME CHARLTON HESTON

im mostly afraid of dying slowly and in pain. or becoming paralyzed from the neck down or some shit like that
I'm scared of going blind unable to watch the complete TSPDT list.
Hes 76 not 26. Hes lived a long life making kino.
What's that got to do with anything? Death is terrifying at any age.

>i'm 12
Yeah we can tell.
At a certain point you realise it's part of life.
whoa you're so mature and cool anon, all the ladies want you
All the ladies want Sam Neil, I'll side with him

Get the frick outta here.
>you go to the state you were in before you were born
Meh.
I always wonder how many anons died. From 2003 to now, millions visited this website. They are mostly millenials, a decent chunk are zoomers or gen-x. How many of them died young in an accident? Illness? An hero? Their shitty posts outlive them, stored in one of the archives. I wonder who is the first Cinemaphile user to die. Hell, who is the first Facebook user to die?
I stopped to contemplate that during the pandemic, how many anons died intubated in a hospital, alone, without parents or loved ones. We have a bunch of overweight lads here. It probably happened to a few of them and some didn't escape.
>you go to the state you were in before you were born
If this is all death is, I'm not bothered by it
What terrifies me is that it might NOT be this
I really hope Christgays or any 'non-believers suffer for eternity' religions aren't right.

Beautifully haunting.
We need to get A.I. up and running and cure aging.
He played a vampire in Daybreakers who was dying from cancer until becoming a vampire saved him.
So all we need is a vampire then. Anyone got one?

Damn. That sucks.
At the same time I'd feel blessed to even make it past 70 myself.

Poisoned air, food, water. Anything really. Margarine is poison made to 'substitute' butter. It's not food, it just gives you cancer. Soft drinks produce over time the same poisonous fumes like car exhaust called benzene. Etc.
isn't he English, white people were not meant to live in sunny countries like Australia, bet the cancer rates are sky high there.
Kiwi, Irish stock, skin cancer time bomb
He got blood cancer, not skin cancer. But you are right still. In New Zealand the sun's output of UV rays is like 40% stronger and they get more skin cancer there so they got to use sunblock all the time.

So then what am I supposed to eat? You want me to grow my own food or something? I live in an apartment complex, how am I supposed to make a farm here?
mushrooms under bed and toilet,
fish in sink and bath
scrape roadkill in a plastic bin to start a maggot farm
All organic ofcourse
Blood is made in your bone marrow from blastcells.
They are cells that divide pretty quick since red blood cells have a short life.
They are in your bone marrow since this is the place in your body best protected from uv radiation (to prevent mutation) Bone has a lot of blood flowing through it.
Random mutations still occur after umpteenth cell division.
For a mutated cell to become cancerous you need at least 5 seperate mutations especially in the suicide program your cells activate when they are mutated (apopthosis)
There are 4 different blood cancers acute/chronic red blood cells/white blood cells.
To get rid of the cancer they blast your bone marrow with radiation to kill every blast cell
then you get new marrow from a compatible donor
Donors are hard to find since matching them to someone is a low chance unlike normal bloodtyping, family is most likely.
They harvest bone marrow by stabbing your pelvic crest with a frick huge needle to get little apple cores of marrow from it
possession could have been good it had that manic style all zulawski movies have, just screaming and screaming
Based Sam Neill. I loved that scene where he kisses that lady's ass in A Perfect World.
huh
can't imagine anything worse than being alive past 75.
Ask yourself why people always say shit like this then don't wanna die by the time they're actually at that age.
sad
a very talented actor
Cucked beyond belief
Part of my childhood will die with him, vey sad.
End of an era. The 90s, 00s and 10s are truly gone. Everything we considered normal and comforting and solid in our childhood is fading away. It is not contemporary. We may already be in the new era with future historians marking covid-19 as the starting point
Jurassic Park was 30 years ago. CGI and computers were considered newfangled and exciting, but 30 years on they are a part of life, like the automobile and electricity, I can't get my head around it, computers will always be "new" to me, and now AI is taking over, what was scifi speculation is now real, although rather janky at the moment it will replace a lot of jobs and cause a stire.
30 years before Jurassic Park it was 1963, JFK's brains were splattered over the back seat of his Lincoln Continental and they had not even passed the civil rights act yet. 48 years before Jurassic Park, ww2 had ended. To them ww2 was like 1975 for us, when 50 cent and Zach Braff were born. There is now more time between us and ww2 than between ww2 and the civil war.
Time flies, but on the other hand you do have a lot of time, unless of course you have blood cancer too, but chances are you do not, chances are you have decades ahead of you. Consider the past 3 years, over 1000 days, if you spent just one of those days doing something you always want to but fretted over for whatever psychological reason, it would be virtually no cost, it would only take 0.1% of your time. Many people say pride is the deadliest sin, but really it is sloth. Even if you are good, sloth will kill you, sloth will make you useless and accomplish nothing, the devil does not fear sinners, he fears the good and the works they do.
Good post you can tell it wasn’t written by a zoomer there’s no meme speech
I saw something yesterday that said we are the same distance away from 1990 as 1990 was from 1953.
I had to do the math, and realized it was right. Made me feel really old.
>1953
sorry i meant 1957, I'm terrible at math
At least people will still be posting wojak derivatives 50 years from now
Man that actually kind of hurt to read. At least he'll die knowing he spent his life being a based Chad.
possession 100%
the domestic shit that happens in that movie is scarily realistic if you've ever been with a crazy girl
Hunt for Red October
DONT GO AWAY NEILL :~~*
He is incredible in mouth of madness and event horizon. He's might be the best horror actor tbh
Juvaxxic Park: No Refunds Edition
Daybreakers. He played a good executive vampire.
daybreakers is very underrated.
The cars and the world building alone.
Light shielded walk ways from building to building.
Bloodbars in the sunway
And the little food truck/cafe that would put 2 blood 2 sugar in the coffee. Then everyone rioting when they got stingy with the blood.
>cars
Plus the auto blackening windows with the hud and camera to drive during the day was peak kino future movie tech.
>put some more FRICKING BLOOD
>in my FRICKING COFEEE
Also the whole subtext of vampires running out of normal people as an analogy for the collapse of capitalism as a system that is only viable when growth is constant an infinite
Cancer is just your cells multiplying uncontrollably and not dying like they should. So what blood cancer just means he's got too much blood? Why not slit your wrists and bleed some out every day.
>Cancer is just your cells multiplying uncontrollably and not dying like they should.
Cancer cells are their own thing and they overtake the healthy cells. It's nothing to do with overall cell count.
Read it.
sell me on it
YOU HAVE CANCER
There's still hope for Neil, but a death that got to me in ways I didn't expect was pic related. I genuinely liked the man from afar. I think it was the first time it happened.
Shaun was great, Norm too.
Seems like cancer really likes the actually good ones
Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park 3
Daybreakers.
Vaxxed?
it's not his best but it's my favorite
I believe him. My grandma passed away when she was 74 and she said that she lived a wonderful life and it was now time to leave. I always cherish our memories of watching Courage the Cowardly Dog together.
>*sniff*
>Sam, get that checked out. NOW.
>Buddy, I got to attend the worldwide premiere!
Cut to 30 years later....
He'll always be Dr Grant to me. Seeing JP in theatres as a kid was amazing. He made a lot of kids want to become paleontologists.
When will we have a cure for aging
Die young leave a good looking corpse
humans are literally going to disappear from this planet before that can possibly happen
what do you mean?
stop overusing literally, it makes your writing weaker not stronger
I don't respect your opinions. literally, that is.
We already have it. But the masses will never see it.
how do I get it?
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that about Sam Neill as I think he's a genuinely good, based, down-to-earth, approachable and humble man. My favourite Sam Neill film is the first Jurassic Park film. Enjoy Heaven with God when your time comes to finally leave this increasingly insane shithole world we live in.
* Enjoy Heaven with God when your time comes to finally leave this increasingly insane shithole world we live in, Sam Neill.
>old man is dying soon
woah, hold on!
read his book Black folk. insightful
This breaks my heart. Sam improves every project he’s ever been involved with. I honestly can’t name a favorite film because he’s consistently fantastic in everything.
Happy Town with Sarah Gadon
vaxxed
I really liked him in "The Games" where he played 'Sam Neil' a consultant whose firm was looking to take on the contract for transportation over the Sydney Olympic games while knowing nothing about the logistics of the role, the transportation needs of the city or how to organise around massive events.
It was a really nice role as he was so oily in it.
The Dish. I don't know if it's all that well-known, but it's the prefect comfy movie.
triple blood cancer?
it's the global warming for sure
