Thursday's Ways Not To Die

.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Y'all do yourselves a favor and click on that third to last picture, okay? Here, let me just show you what I'm talking about -- Sam Jackson has just been chomped on by one of the genetically-monsterized shark-beasts, and it's dragging him back under the water to nosh, and this is the look on CG'd Sam's face:

I wish I could make that a thousand times bigger and clearer, but I think you can tell even here that he is SMILING and SHRUGGING HIS SHOULDERS, tossing his hands to the side, as if to say, "Whoopsie! Gotta die now! See you bitches later!" I want to print this image on T-shirts and perhaps tattoo it on my forehead. LOVE.

This moment in the film happens so fast that I never would've noticed this if I'd not watched it in slow-motion for this post, and for that, this series has repaid my time in spades.

You can watch the scene in motion over here. It really is a modern day classic. More love for Deep Blue Sea to come later today too, so stay tuned!
