Right, right, somebody said "Ingrid Bergman" and the AI thought "Ingmar Bergman" signed up!

Better to drown than be eaten alive.

Some people get so bothered by people who wish the world was a little kinder. Newton's Third Law?

No, let's do Sunset Strip.

I'd ask Jim to AI sharpen me but he's not my type. Too screamy, too grandpa. Bye!

Not sure if that was a deciding factor in this.

If he's referring to Under Pressure: Making 'the Abyss' when he says, "It's in one of the documentaries, I believe the original laser disc documentary," then here's Cameron's direct quote from that documentary:

"We even sent them to a vet afterwards and had them get penicillin shots in case they would get a respiratory infection or something. We did it to five rats in five different takes; they were all fine."

That's certainly very different from, "4 out of the 5 died right after."

Elvis wore blue suede shoes not JC.... Good Grief, is nothing sacred.

There hasn't been this many people in the history of the world who cared so much about Rats... until now and this very thread.

I wonder what the Europeans of 1350 would think of all you rat lovers...

Who knew people who owned Snakes were so woke!

I won't buy "Aliens" because it looks like shit.
I won't buy "True Lies" because it looks like the liquid of the shit that was spewed out from the anus of the "Aliens" transfer.

I guess "Lightstorm Entertainment" and "Park Road Post Production" had The Abyss as their top priority to give it at definitive presentation for a film, that has not been released (physically) in 4K or BD.

"Beany" the rat who was borrowed to be tested for liquid breathing, died in July 1989 of Natural causes, didn't have to do anything with the liquid as Todd Graff obviously stated.
