I saw the movie too and distinctly remember the logs rolling off the left side right where all those cars are to repeat that scene. I just stay far enough behind them to be able to break safely.

Watched it , and misunderstood the point.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

We don't even avoid driving behind logging trucks on the very road that scene was filmed.

Just watch the first two scenes haha.

(Then watch the rest of the movie because Susan Tyrrell rules)

Then watch the rest of the movie

I noticed many commonalities with other media, which I will lay out non-exhaustively under a spoiler tag below. I welcome any additional such commonalities you or anyone else might be able to point out:

I've never seen any of the Final Destination movies, but the seeing trailer was still enough to make me stay away from the log trucks.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

As a schlocky horror series, they're honestly not bad.

2 is the best one. Just watch that and you'll get the general idea of all of them.

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just watched this with my wife this past October. Her first time seeing it, and yet she still knew "final destination says don't drive behind log trucks"

We didn't get to any of the other movies, or she probably wouldn't want to go to theme parks and she'd never tan in a tanning bed again (I'm okay with this one)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I've seen enough stuff fall off trucks that I'm convinced it's good to do anyway. Also yeah, tanning beds are one of the more insane things that we've come up with as a species.

I always put extra space between me and anyone hauling things.

I once had to dodge patio furniture boxes on a highway because someone didn't strap everything down correctly. Didn't even realize they were shedding their cargo, it took several miles for people to get them to stop.

I always let these trucks get way ahead, or I speed ahead if they're going a little slower. I've actually seen one tip over, granted that was on a mountain road meant for passenger vehicles only, but still, I was close enough to be thankful we used a rest stop. Scary shit when you could actually get hit by a giant trunk.

Wait until you see somebody with their foot out the window after you've seen Death Proof.

My childhood was the two wolves fighting on if it was worth my arm coming clean off from sticking it out the window of the bus.

That's how, to this day, I have anxiety performing CPR, even for certification (which is done on a dummy) and pull out the industrial grade draino whenever a drain is even suspected of being clogged.

Watching The Thing and The Blob before you're 10, not the best for your mental health.

[–] doctordevice@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

If Draino works for you, great. But in case anyone is reading this and has an experience like mine where Draino never seems to fix clogs for long, especially in showers/bathtubs: try Green Gobbler. It's non-caustic, so easier on your pipes, and it breaks down clogs using enzymes to break up organic material. In my experience it's much more effective than Draino.

[–] winky88@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Draino is NOT for clearing airways!

I must be forgetting a scene...

everyone in the left lane knows that you don't cross continous lines
