...please rephrase that in enlish and not texting english and you might get more luck with what you are wondering but the gore is rather good in my mind

I think everyone should be able to express themselves how he or she would like; and feel free to use "text" speak should he or she so wish. It's not my bag, but no one should be policing other people's 'enlish' (sic.)

I had to do a double take to make sure I didn't type your post. Sounds exactly like something I would have said.

I am inclined to agree, but that sort of expression comes with a cost.


Since this is a "medical" movie, I can use the example a doctor friend related to me:

He was working through the patients waiting in the curtain areas at a hospital, and came across a patient in the late afternoon that had been waiting there since early that morning. He immediately recognized the appearance of a heart attack and rushed the older man to the emergency section. He found out the man had come in with his 5-year old granddaughter to translate for him. The 5-yr old was lacking vocabulary to do a proper translation, and the intake triage nurse had only been able to get information that he had an ache/pain in his neck. That being noted as the presenting symptom on his chart, he was put at the end of the list of patients to be seen by a doctor. According to my friend, the man didn't survive his heart attack.
Not communicating clearly can cost you...

Choose what you will, but realize you cannot expect everyone to understand you.
As another example, a woman was confused that her mother ended a sentimental text message to her with "LOL". When she later asked her mother about it, her mother replied that "LOL" meant Lots Of Love!
And the music goes round and round, and comes out here...



BTW,
if you think a translator should be available for everyone's language at a hospital, just think back a year or two with the Ebola patient in Dallas, Texas, USA. When the medical experts (eventually) went to the man's apartment complex, they were severely hindered by language barriers. In that apartment complex of about 100 units, there were over THIRTY different languages among the residents, and getting translators for all those different languages was a big problem.

Contrary to the President's comments that "Ebola cannot hop on a plane and come to the USA", that is exactly what did happen.
The African man had assisted an ill pregnant woman get into a taxicab the afternoon before he left for the USA. He was apparently unaware the woman had early stage Ebola, and he was free of symptoms for days after he arrived in Texas. When he went to the hospital, he did tell the intake nurse he had recently come from Africa, and that information was put on his chart, but was somehow missed as he was sent back home. He was later brought to the hospital by ambulance, and eventually died of Ebola, in the USA, despite "advanced medical treatment".


In that case, no one in the apartments caught Ebola, but the delay could have allowed it to spread.
Scary thought...

I just cannot resist this any longer...

Please, tell us more... **SMILE**

Of course you meant to say the gore in the movie was rather good in your mind/thinking/opinion.

reply

Are you kidding me? This went right over everyone's heads. No one has any clue about punctuation. I appreciated it though! :)

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

Don't worry, there are no tortoises in this movie. However, there is a dead pussy.

Lots of gore. Maybe less gore than films like Feast, but the gore is far more disturbing to me in a film like this because of the medical context. I have various kinds of phobias about doctors, medical procedures, etc. For example, simply the sound of a dentist's drill in a film can make me cringe.

Of course, this film is meant to be disturbing, so it was very effective for me, even though I had to watch something very different before I tried to go to sleep--otherwise I'd probably have nightmares about medical practices.

I gave it an 8/10.

HOW GRAPHIC IS IT? IT'S BADASS *beep* GRAPHIC, THAT'S HOW....

WANNA SEE ALYSSA MILANO WITH NO TOP?

YOU DO.

WANNA SEE ALYSSSA MILANO WITH NO CLOTHES AT ALL!!!!?

YOU DO.

WANNA SEE ALYSSA WITH NO *beep* SKIN!!?

YOU DO.

BEST *beep* MOVIE EVER!

reply

Sorry, but dream on.
You see as much of a "real person" in this movie as you would in an anime feature.

Sorry, but Milano has at least four tatoos that should have been seen in this movie if it was really her, and not CGI. But it was really good CGI, so it is easy to pretend it was Milano. Check out several of her 1995 projects like the episode of THE OUTER LIMITS, EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE, and the POISON IVY movie she did, then compare those to this movie.

And if you go for EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE, the Blu-Ray is just better resolution than the WS Unrated selection of the DVD. Get the DVD and you can choose WS or FS, and seperately choose the R or UR version, so you can see four slightly different versions from the DVD. The WS versions do cut off some of the bottom of the FS frames, "simulating" the WS... sad.

Don't get me wrong, it is a good movie, but my eyes are quick enough to see what is really there, and most people are not able to do that.

For an R-rated flick this is very graphic.
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean.
