The silo death scene


I thought it was corny.

At first it seems silly, but as it goes on, and the guy is slowly suffocating, while still trying to breath, trying to get out, but is just bombarded with more corn, it turns disturbing.

Nah, in the end I think Fergie was alright. His voice was probably a little husky though. The only thing I didn't like in that scene was right before Book released the lever to the corn when Fergie was standing alone in there, the scene felt kind of empty. His hand to the handle to release the corn from above was kind of wooden. His hair was kind of sandy though, so in the end I'd say Fergie was kind of stuffed, really full of himself, way too much starch. Mcphee went out with a bang though. That was way before he was told old for this *beep* I mean he walked right through it. Ultimately, Paul kind of got choked up with his final decision he had to be tied up in knots. In the end, Book kind of just trailed off.
