Badass.

Woot! Time for some math!


I counted 5, 45 pound weights on the left side of that bar. So all together there are 10 45 pound weights.

That's 445 pounds, and now add the weight of the standard Olympic bar; 44.1.

In social circles the general weight for the bar is taken as 45 pounds. I know that it should be rounded down by rule of mathematics but it is not.

In social circles:
45 * 11 ~ 495

For those of us who do not give that much inaccuracy:
(45 * 10) + 44.1 = 494.1

Yeah, Bruce does some calculations of his own under his breath - it seems like he says "five hundred" after he's added it all up.

According to Adoniscomplex on youtube:

"500 lbs.

Ten 45 lbs plates (450 lbs),
the bar (45 lbs), and
the two dollys securing the plates on each side (5 lbs).

Also, Bruce whispers '500' at 4:02 - 4:03"

He doesn't care. He's unbreakable. Duh. >> ^gwiz665:

You sure this is a deleted scene? I could swear it was in the movie.

Yea thumbless is for people with no regard for their own life, although i guess Bruce fits right into that category in this film, so you probably have to admire the directors decision to shoot the scene thumbless.

that's nothing compared to bench pressing your mum.

I like that movie a lot too. My only real gripe with it is the text at the end saying "and he turned him in to thepolice yada yada yada... whatever - ruined a great movie.

Then again Shamalamanamanam turned out to be full of shit.

I love the photography of this scene.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Shamalamaman gets a lot of grief- but I've always thought his movies were pretty damn good. He's a cheesier, modern version of Hitchcock. Am I the only one who actually liked The Village? I love movies with surprise hooks- especially if I haven't guessed or been told what it is. 6th Sense was an amazing movie. >> ^Smugglarn:

I frickin LOVE this movie.

I love the story. I love the acting. I love the subtle focus and depth of field changes and the slow pans. I love the score, the dialog, the characters and the little subconscious cues.

The very first video I submitted here was the final scene from this movie. It died in the queue but, fortunately, someone else got it sifted 8 months later.

I might have to watch this again tonight. It's been too long.

I absolutely loved the village, i thought it was brilliant, one of my favourites. This move was brilliant too, can't fault it.

However.

The happening. What........the........fuck? What an absolute embarassment of the highest magnitude. After the films that i loved (signs, the village, this, etc.) - and i mean loved, those number among some of my favourite films - it would take something as bad as the happening to make me go, "Wow, did he do a good job of those films by ACCIDENT?"

Well I thought The Sixth Sense was contrived and forcefully understated.

The Village even more so and that film is kind of a missed opportunity not focusing on the reason why cults separate their members from society. What you get is pointless mystery story. Since you mentioned Hitchcock I could liken it to one of his television episodes, rather than any of his films.

Unbreakable is, with the exception of the clearly tacked on ending, his standout work.

I have avoided The Sham's later films like the plague.

I liked The Village while I watched it. Then later after thinking about it, I was like WTF? They knew the monsters weren't real and they sent a fucking blind girl out in the woods to get medical supplies so they could save that guy. If they knew, why didn't one of them just sneak out one night and get it themselves? I guess that wouldn't have made a very good movie that way.

M. Night should make his next movie without a twist ending. THAT would fuck EVERYONE up.

For me, it made sense: She was blind, so she would only have a vague idea of what the outside world had turned into, anyone with sight would have had more questions still - what's that big metal thing with wheels that moves, what's this smooth surface with white lines on it? It was still fraught with danger from her perspective, and it kept the village confined and intact. Yes they sent a frailer person to get supplies, but that was the risk and sacrifice to keep the village contained.

Made sense to me like i say, but i'm sure you could tear it apart with overanalysis. But i think you could do that with most stuff.

I agree, Shyamalan's next movie should have no twist. Although, you could fairly say that's what he did with The Happening (which I was only able to enjoy by calling it "The Nothing Is Happening" in my head. That movie doesn't end with a twist, it just sort of faded into nothingness, like the smell of a fart).

I'm saying, why didn't one of the adults, who knew the truth of the outside world sneak out one night and get the medical supplies? But like I said, that wouldn't have made a very good movie that way. A lot of movies are like that if you stop and think about it after watching them.

Ah, my explanation wasn't thorough enough.

How i figured it, was that they were committed to this idea, most of them wouldn't want to go and the only one who MIGHT want to go is the father of the girl, who was the ultimate leader of the town and i imagine couldn't realistically leave the town for a while and come back and not have everyone be just a little bit suspicious - she might go for her true love, more foolish things have been done in the name of love, but if he demonstrates that even he's too scared to go, then that cements the apparent danger to the knowlessmen.

And let's face it, she wasn't really in much danger, she was a very capable person even being blind, the path through the forest wasn't very difficult (they may not have known about the road, i suppose getting hit by a car could have been a concern), the only difficulty appeared because the mental handicapped guy escaped and chased her.

I think The Sixth Sense had more general appeal than Unbreakable, but obviously I liked Unbreakable better. There's nothing wrong with TSS, mind you.

Signs was awful, I thought. The story wasn't bad, but I just didn't feel like it translated well to movie.

I really enjoyed The Village. Yes, there are holes and such in the story, but I enjoyed it in spite of them.

I fail to see how Unbreakable has a tacked-on ending.

I was also pleasantly surprised by Lady in the Water. It was unfortunate that it was billed like a kids movie, because it really wasn't. It was about a fairytale, yes, but it was far from a kids movie.

The Happening and the Avatar movie don't interest me, so I haven't and/or don't plan on seeing them.

I was referring to the "signs" at the very end in the sense giving the movie, which is essentially an origin story, a friggin epilogue.

Okay yeah i remember now. This is a deleted scene. There's a weightlifting scene in the movie, but it's at home and his kid is with him. The kid keeps adding plates, and Dunn lifts it without noticing he's gotten up above 400lbs.

Is the ox not stronger than the tiger?

Strength, in and of itself, is not enough.

Nor is intelligence, in and of itself, enough.

The wolf is fast.

The cheetah is faster.
