The Golden Gate Bridge Was Just Destroyed
In a bad but mildly entertaining Sci-Fi movie.

3. Ah.
I was thinking of "The Core". The Golden Gate bridge is destroyed...as well as the Colisseum in Rome. Silly stuff, but entertaining.

21. I just remembered my favorite aspect of the movie.
In one of the opening scenes, a surgeon is busy removing bullets from a shooting victim. The dialog is punctuated by the plink, plink, plink of him removing about a 100 bullets and tossing them into a tin dish. Later on, he's operating at a refugee camp. What's he doing? Still plucking bullets from a victim; plink, plink, plink. I can't help but feel some people had real fun with that!

6. You mean, we won't get to see this sign anymore?
Edited on Sun Mar-18-07 06:12 PM by HypnoToad

:cry:

The sign seems more encouraging than thought-inducing in an attempt to get a person to change his mind... Now if they added "Drowning takes several minutes to accomplish and really hurts bad", maybe people really WOULD take notice and change their minds!

7. Adding the number might be a good idea
cause the suicidal are unlikely to have a telephone book with them when they're on the railing.

Just in case you weren't being completely snarky,

10. Shouldn't there be a phone number attached to that sign?
I mean... kinda useless without it. Furthermore, who walks across the Golden Gate anyway? Wouldn't it make sense to not have a sidewalk from which people could jump and just have barriers alongside the roadway to keep everyone in? I never understood that.

12. Go there, see the view and you'll understand
I walked across it as a tourist and liked the unobstructed views a lot more than the parts of the bridge with barriers

23. or a more detailed description of your death
like this

"WARNING: Jumpers reach a speed of approximately of 75 mph on impact, which often shatters the spine and results in multiple fractures or rips the internal organs away from their moorings. Some jumpers drown; others bleed to death. Some bodies are not recovered, swept out to sea or eaten by sharks."

25. Maybe they should put a phone beneath that sign
so that the person jumping because they've lost their job, home, family, car, and government assistance doesn't say "Hey, I will make that call. Wait! With what? God, my life sucks worse than I thought!"

8. Is that the one where the huge crack in the earth pursues a speeding train,
engulfs it, and then stops?

17. I'm Enjoying It Right Now
Bad CGI and all.

But I love the little details, like veggies laid out on a food stand.

22. Crap! And I just bought it!!
Not to worry, though. I'll be rolling in dough just as soon as that check from Nigeria clears the bank.
