I dunno volcanos are scary to me because of the burning hot gas and dust clouds (forget what they’re called), rather than the lava, which gets all the attention
but I think I’m more scared of super volcanos. But I guess I’m the same way I’m scared of comets, ie world cataclysm
The real killer is quakes, they’re the phenomenon with the numbers

Yesterday I listened to a podcast where they were discussing Terminator 2 and then got home and watched a bunch of T2 scenes on youtube. The truck/bike chase at the beginning and "Come with me if you want to live". I fucking love that movie. It is my 2nd or 3rd favourite film, I can never decide if it beats Mad Max Fury Road.
Volcano films are cool too I guess. I don't remember Volcano but Acid Lake Granny from Dante's Peak has lived in my head for like thirty years.
where the dude jumped from the subway but was super far away so there was no way he’d clear it so he just slowly sank into lava?
that shit would suck, and he was also super far away. tell me some other movie scenes
If it was me I would have simply jumped farther
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
I can’t tell if you’re doing a bit mega man but he stabs the Jewish guy in the squad, and just ignores upham, who is the new guy who convinced everyone to let him go
It’s pretty harrowing. I think it’s not so much the slow stab, but that the guy switches from fighting him to realising he’s being overpowered and starts pleading for him to stop. That aspect of it felt so realistic and disturbing
Oh, yeah, you're right he lets Upham go, but I'm not doing a bit, the guy he stabbed was not Barry Pepper because Barry Pepper plays the sniper who gets killed in the tower.
I also kinda thought you were doing a bit and was gonna pop in like, "no it wasn't the new guy he stabbed, it was Vin Diesel!"
I'm glad I read on cause that might have come across as very dickish!
Nono, Vin diesel played groot, stabbing him wouldn't do much, because he's a tree.

Volcanoes are scary to me because they tend to fuck things up on a fairly global scale when they go off. Quakes preceding the eruptions, the actual eruption, raining gobbets of molten rock and pyroclastic flows, the clouds of ash darkening the sky, potential tidal waves depending on location, and how many towns are nearby an active volcano that can just end up simply disappearing by the time all's said and done.
There's a terrible, but I would argue so-bad-its-good, film called Airplane Vs Volcano
It's about a plane getting caught in the middle of a ring of volcanoes that suddenly rise from the ocean. It has bad acting, a nonsensical plot and awful graphics

There's a 1996 Sylvester Stallone movie where Viggo Mortensen plays a pretentious as fuck professional mountain climber, like X-Games style shit, and when the main crux of the movie happens (collapsed Subway tunnel) he's like "Yo you dumb fuckers I'm just gonna climb my way out lmao" and then as he's climbing something happens but you have to watch the movie to find out!
Anyway I only recognized the rock climber guy as Viggo Mortensen on a rewatch of that movie a few weeks back.
So Alien right? Near the end Ripley is all "time to blow the ship up cause I don't know where that Alien's at" and she goes to the reactor to do it, and it's all in closeup as she throws some switches and opens some stuff, culminating in a suitcase style lid that flips up and printed on the inside are the instructions. The camera lingers here for a moment as Ripley's hand comes into frame, pointing at the important part as she's reading how the explosion sequence can be cancelled up to a certain point, and then can't be. The entire sequence of her actually arming the thing is really complex and mechanical. Lotta lift this thing up and press this and then do that, not just a big red button. And then, later? She needs to cancel that detonation but she's too late! Uh oh! Get outta there Ripley!
I mostly remember that scene from Volcano because I was so offended that anyone would think that situation made any sense. Both those dudes woulda been cooked way before he even got to the end of the train to jump. Also, he didn't catch fire for some reason? Just kinda slowly melted? WTF? Dante's Peak is the superior volcano movie by far, especially since there's an actual mountain involved.
that’s reminds me of another scene, this time from alien resurrection
it’s the end when the gross skin alien gets sucked out of the small hole in the window and is screaming for its life as its entrails are spilling out its back that was wild
I guess I'm not a scientist but I just watched the scene in question, and the guy jumps into basically a puddle of lava. which obviously, that's going to kill you and burn you up, but he literally melts into it like he's the wicked witch of the west. they cut back and it's just his torso left and he's still yelling and it's like dude I don't think lava is just an eraser where you're just slowly getting deleted from reality

I liked that
- Self Destruct is extremely difficult to accidentally do (although as we see it's also hard to abort)
- It's utilising a reactor chain reaction rather than a dedicated bomb or something, which feels more realistic for a big corporation cheaping out on scuttling mechanisms
There’s video of the Whakaari eruption in New Zealand where the visiting tourists fled (there were 22 casualties) from it because it erupted while they were there. The GoPro shots of the eruption from one of the survivors who was on the island is some of the most harrowing footage. Just absolutely bonkers.

The main thing I remember from Dante's Peak is early on, when Linda Hamilton and Pierce Brosnan's characters are almost like in a Hallmark romance movie, where they're clearly really into each other, but the movie keeps blocking them from kissing. C'mon, movie, let the pretty people make out. It worked for Titanic.

I think volcanoes are one of the least scary Really Deadly phenomena out there. You just don't go near em? And even if you do, lava is brightly colored and slow, it's all very easy to avoid
Quicksand is scarier cause it's sneaky, but when you rank lower than "sneaky sand," buddy, that's humiliating. Not even a little afraid of a volcano, can't do shit to me
You think quicksand is scary? You should see ice.
It moves like it has a mind.
Like it knows it killed the world once and got a taste for murder.
After the avalanche, it took us a week to climb out. Now, I don't know exactly when we turned on each other, but I know that seven of us survived the slide... and only five made it out. Now we took an oath, that I'm breaking now. We said we'd say it was the snow that killed the other two, but it wasn't.

Everyone should kiss Pierce Brosnan immediately upon seeing him. Anyone who is in the room or directly sharing an eyeline otherwise it is fake tension.

When I was a kid I thought the man walking through the melting subway train while quoting bible verses and throwing the other person onto freedom was pretty cool. But wouldn't the person have died horribly anyway from suffocation / the lava creeping towards them?
Still cool tho!

Remember the scene in Deep Impact when the massive tidal wave is coming and the old man just sits there reading his paper while it comes towards him with the destructive force of millions of gallons of water?

It's no "man is consumed by lava in a slow, painful manner" scene, but "15 minutes ago you knew human beings were alone on this planet, imagine what you'll know tomorrow" lives rent free in my head.

pyroclastic flows are just clouds of death moving at around 100 kilometers per hour if not more
