If you could choose how you would die...

[CringeFest]

One of the things that watching movies has done to me is it has stimulated by creativity in terms of thinking about how I would die. If I could choose, i would be killed by a 1,000 foot tidal wave like in Deep Impact. I woudl stand on the beach and watch it engulf me.


What about you?

Can't top Chyp's post, but I've always thought being sucked up in a tornado would be a pretty intense way to go. I mean, the experience of it, assuming that I could remain calm and aware, would be indescribable. Flying? Spinning chaotically? Crap flying everywhere!? Then, smack into something and lights out. I can't even imagine what that sensation would be like, so I guess this is more of a morbid curiosity. I've wondered this maybe since junior high. I used to briefly want to be a storm chaser. Then I watched that crapfest that was Twister.

Yes, having Famke Janssen squeeze you to death with her thighs.

Really though, If you could choose how you would die, it would be the pink stuff. Animal owners know what I mean.

In fact I voted for the 'saw' thing, even though these films aren't even on my to-watch list. I could just as well elaborate a bit.

I'm a freaky christian protestant atheist kind of thing, meaning, prone to guilt trips and panic responsibility attacks (the cube is us, the cube is us), also morbidly allergic to injustice. So, no matter what happens to me, no matter how I die, my only relief would be to understand how and why I'd deserve what is happening. To relieve the outrage at the terrifyingly indifferent randomness of life. To be able to go "okay, fair enough". I wish, some stuff, some times, in life, to please be "fair enough" once in a while if that isn't too much to ask.

But there's no one to ask.

I guess, I don't even look for meaning anymore, I just regret its absence. It would be nice to have a bit of it at that quite significant moment, and feel some peace and agreement about that at least.

It would be interesting to see something amazing before death. As in "Knockin 'on Heaven."

Luckily, it's the most common way.

Peacefully somehow, and pain free. Basically as long as it's not the way the guy dies in Bone Tomahawk, I'm fine with it.

Out of the options given I'd take propeller blade. Otherwise I may go with disintegration by laser.

Quoted because I enjoyed reading that.

*edit*
I'd like to follow-up on that but no time ATM. Likely, I will forget in the next hour or two and only remember my intent later this week. By then, though, this moment will have passed and I will feel too disconnected to this moment to make the effort for a reply (assuming the world or either of us still exist by then). Just know that I at least thought about it! :) Seriously though, I did enjoy reading that.

These topics freak me out since the Witches of Eastwick discussion with Van Horne

and how he uses the data.

No clue what you mean.

No clue what you mean.

In The Witches of Eastwick (Miller, 1987), there's a

long relaxed discussion between Van Horne and the witches, where they tell him their worst intimate fears about death. Later in the film, when they push him away, he takes revenge by making these exact precise things happen to each of them.

What's freaky about these scenes is less the personal tortures themselves (respectively decrepitude, creepy crawlers and pain - although the use of fruit in pain was brilliantly evocative) than the idea of how an open, trusting discussion about metaphysical fears could be weaponized like that. Such discussions always remind me this film.

i don't know either, but i guess the part in spoiler implies a grand megalomaniacal plot. Not how i want to die!

If I had to be murdered I'd like for whoever's killing me to at least make it interesting, so I'd go with some saw trap type sh*t. A stabbing or something is just another generic stabbing, why not go out with a bang
