Watching this with my GF at the time. Only movie I've ever seen that truly scared me :poop: less. Especially the scene where the head drops from the bottom of the boat. I literally jumped so hard up I was sitting on the back of the seat in the theater. Then felt searing pain in my hand before realizing it was my girlfriend's teeth. She'd grabbed my hand and IDK why but clamped down on it and I was so oblivious due to being frighted to death I didn't realize she'd done that. Laughs, apologies and first aid followed :D
 
I've seen films I just CANNOT watch ever and would have walked out had I been in theater one coming to mind. The Deer Hunter. Part way in it totally sickened me to the point I could bare no more. Even though I paid for the rental I did not care
 
I was sitting in a packed walk-in theatre next to a young kid that kept saying, "Oh :poop:! Oh :poop:! Oh :poop:!" as he was climbing up the back of the seat. That was a great thrill ride.
 
I have a question about the the penal codes of the western United States; specifically, do any of the states have reciprocity agreements with each other?

Apparently there was this guy who shot a man in Reno - a particularly heinous crime, as it was done just to watch him die - but was sent to Folsom State Prison in California to serve his sentence. I find this to be very confusing, as I would've expected him to be sent to a Nevada correctional institution.

RVs are the ticket to an itinerant, back-to-nature lifestyle for millions of Americans. Behind those footloose dreams, however, are vehicle-quality problems that have been blamed for injuries and deaths…

Unlike highly automated car plants, RV factories typically rely on workers who assemble vehicles by hand. Employees are often paid by the unit instead of a straight hourly wage and can leave once they hit their quota. Some former workers say the system encourages speed over thoroughness.

“The piece rate thing is great, but if you know you’ll get out early when you get done, that’s where the crap comes from,” said Fred Cook, who spent most of his career working in RV factories, including six years at a Forest River plant…

In one case, workers punctured microwaves they were installing with screws that were the incorrect length. In another, inspectors discovered misaligned furnace flues a month after the employee who was checking them quit. In 2023, the company recalled 50 towable campers after finding that workers had created a fire risk by inserting the wrong fuse into power distribution centers.

The reason? The factory had a shortage of the correct fuse.
