Morbid thought: Google Street View right now almost certainly has a 360 panorama of the location of your death. An intersection, a highway, a hospital, somewhere. That panorama will someday be filled with sadness for your loved ones. But you don't get to know its coordinates just yet.
- tyingq 6y agoStatistically, it's usually a hospital, nursing home, or your own home. So you may already know the three most likely coordinates, if you're old enough that you aren't moving again.
- wombatpm 6y agoThat’s why I avoid hospitals. Guy is perfectly alive, taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
- pfarnsworth 6y agoThat doesn't apply to ML-370 unfortunately
- Balgair 6y ago2005's Lord of War, staring Nick Cage and Jared Leto, has a great quote similar to this. I'll bungle it, because I can't find the exact line but it goes like: "Yuri, every single person has a bullet waiting for them; trying to find them. The trick to life, Yuri? Before that bullet finds you, find a way to die." The opening sequence to that film is also superb film-making. A set-up, a mid point, and a twist ending, all in three minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LUEiKs2UAo&feature=emb_title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LUEiKs2UAo&feature=emb_titl...
- andrew_ 6y agoSuch an underrated film. And before the decline of Cage.
- Balgair 6y agoNick is Schrödinger's actor. He is both terrible and fantastic all at once. His roles are either garbage or masterclass, there seems to be no middle ground.
- tyingq 6y agoYes, it's confounding that movies like "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Raising Arizona" coexist with a ton of hot garbage he's been involved with. No judgement for him, a guy has to make a living. I imagine he finds the situation amusing. His 2013 movie "Joe" is really good if you need something new to watch: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2382396/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2382396/
- khazhoux 6y agoTip: Announcing a twist ending ruins it.

- KMag 6y agoWe're living in the 2020 time warp. Entertainment-wise, everything from the beginning of film has been simultaneously smeared and crushed into this one year.
- jdub 6y agoIt's a twist ending to the first five minutes of the film.
- khazhoux 6y agoStill. I watched the 5-minute clip just expecting "the twist". Then when it happened, it had less impact because I was anticipating something different or "twistier". Had OP not announced the twist, that last shot might have actually surprised me.
- neka 6y agoOn the flipside, my father passed away this time last year and his favourite pub the month after. We looked it up on Google Streetview recently and there he was, immortalised stood out front of the pub with a pint in hand.
