The freaky thing you probably wouldn't realise if it hadn't happened to you, is the angle of the hill and the whitness of the snow make it REALLY hard to judge how high up you are. It doesn't look as high as it probably is.<br /><br />Pretty sure they did throw stuff when he was still nearby? They were shouting and throwing, seems pretty natural at that point (remember they're freaking out, it's really easy to critique the logic in movies from a comfy chair).<br /><br />Human chain is REALLY stupid, but as far as the tying clothes together thing: are you serious? Have you ever tried this in real life? It honestly doesn't work, LESS SO with different synthetic materials, which you usually wear when you're skiing.<br /><br />Comments like: "I'd totally fight that wolf" don't even deserve acknowledgement.<br /><br />I really liked it, I was impressed with the flow of the movie, I thought it would be boring but it happily surprised me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-91599098440707571032011-01-20T11:44:25.340-08:002011-01-20T11:44:25.340-08:00No, no, no, no...as an Adam Green/Brian Collins fa...No, no, no, no...as an Adam Green/Brian Collins fan I thought I would thoroughly enjoy Frozen, but as it turns out, the entertainment factor of this movie was more elusive than Robert Denby.<br /><br />This movie stinks on ice and every character in this movie deserved death...for example:<br /><br />Skiing is dumb. Putting wooden sticks on your feet and pushing yourself down a hill with more wooden sticks is dumber than trying to get away with Tripolydine fraud. Asshole move #1<br /><br />If you see a Bobcat coming up the mountain the first thing I would do is bombard everything it with everything I had on me...not yell at in the vain hopes that its driver would notice me...THEN try to get his attention by throwing items at him while he's leaving. Asshole move #2<br /><br />Jumping 30 feet off a ski lift...why WOULDNT it break your legs?! Maybe...tie some clothes together, or form a human chain and knock a good 12 feet from your fall? Turkeys. Asshole move #3<br /><br />Covering your eyes with your hat while wolves attack you...why not maybe try to take one out with you? I for one am not going to cover my eyes and wait for wolves to disembowl me without ripping out a few throats. Asshole move #4<br /><br />There are many other reasons why I would rather comb Leonard Driscoll's handsome new mustache than watch this movie again or recommend it to anyone...but hey, drive like the demon who drives your dreams i guess.Sam Caseyhttp://asylumstudios.biz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-53044074609309313672010-11-08T10:52:23.056-08:002010-11-08T10:52:23.056-08:00are they going to bring out another frozen film as...are they going to bring out another frozen film as they didnt say if she lived or died?xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-71786987154568428952010-10-04T13:53:11.025-07:002010-10-04T13:53:11.025-07:00"Sweet!

You are making assumptions without factoring in the actual situation (freezing, being in an awkward position with thick clothes that aren't exactly easy to get off even in normal circumstances, and being flat out terrified). Like I said, go try it and tell us how it worked out.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-87110515173556825952010-09-30T13:54:56.885-07:002010-09-30T13:54:56.885-07:00My apologies then - I assumed someone who seemingl...My apologies then - I assumed someone who seemingly didn't like a movie that came out in theaters 7 months ago wouldn't still be trying to point out plot holes on a review for the DVD release.<br /><br />And the DVD covers all aspects of the production, including the screenwriting process, during which Green asked survival folks about different scenarios that he thought of and how they explained to him how each of them were bad ideas. Just because each one wasn't tried in the film itself doesn't mean they weren't thought of.<br /><br />Thanks for buying a ticket for the theatrical release though!

After all, anyone with even basic brain function would hope that such a thing couldn't happen and thus they would be rescued swiftly without having to resort to life-threatening heroics. <br /><br />P.S. I assume you're a downloader? Because if you had the DVD you'd be able to watch the extra features, where the rope idea is explained as being a terrible one by both medical and forest ranger type personnel.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-7660536970804514572010-09-30T13:39:14.236-07:002010-09-30T13:39:14.236-07:00I've been on a ski-lift, and I can tell you it...I've been on a ski-lift, and I can tell you it wouldn't at all be impossible to remove your boots. However, even if you couldn't get to your pants, the each had multiple shirts and jackets on, which wouldn't be hard to knot at all and would give you more than enough length to make a safe jump. As for waiting around during the ten minutes (if that) it takes to unknot the clothes, the minor frostbite you got compared to the loss of your life would be worth it.<br /><br />Sorry BC, but it's an easy, obvious solution for anyone with an IQ over 100, which these kids clearly didn't have.David Rosiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439719852940680419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-15252205355543706352010-09-30T13:33:01.645-07:002010-09-30T13:33:01.645-07:00They were freezing even with the clothes on.

If you want to take them off (good luck getting off your pants while on a skilift by the way, especially with the boots on, which, as I already pointed out, are basically impossible to get off from that position), and somehow tie thick clothes together to get down, and then wait around, naked in subzero temperatures while the clothes are unknotted (which, don't forget, you had to tie pretty tight in order to make a rope that would hold you), you go ahead.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-17559098753591056512010-09-30T13:24:33.709-07:002010-09-30T13:24:33.709-07:00"and the film details what would happen as th..."and the film details what would happen as the result of every single thing I would think of in order to get down"<br /><br />So you wouldn't think of, say, taking off some clothes, knotting them together as a line, and then lowering a person down to where the jump would be nice and easy?<br /><br />Me, that's the first thing I thought of.

Like, 20-25 lbs heavy. So if you were sitting there for hours, your body would be pretty stiff/numb. Thus, he had no chance of maneuvering, and so the weight of the boots sunk him like a stone (plus the alternative would be what, on his back? He'd snap his spine and wouldn't be able to move anyway). Ideally, he would remove the boots first, but that's nearly impossible from the position you are in on a ski lift - he probably would have fallen out trying.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-39458851145394136132010-09-27T16:13:37.982-07:002010-09-27T16:13:37.982-07:00You're welcome!
