Shark Attack III - the thrilling conclusion

[dreamer_easy]

I want you all to imagine JB saying "Shit!" a lot with those TEETH. (Also, "Son of a bitch! Die! Die! Die!")

Our heroes look at the sunset and proceed to a church, where they light incense sticks. Someone better informed will have to tell me if this is a Catholic thing or what. I presume they're not offering to Kuan Yin as they didn't bow - just looked all serious, like professional pallbearers. (I also presume they're not asking divine forgiveness for appearing in this turkey.)

ETA: After a scene of indescribable hilarity, involving a sinking boat, a shotgun, a baseball bat, a lot of tenor screaming and swearing, and a shark muppet, the movie gets one scene I'll pay: the actual monster they've been battling is only a baby giant prehistoric shark. An adult rocks up and eats an entire boat in one bite. That was q00l.

ETA: That is the worst come-on I have ever heard in my life! ROTFALMAO!

It's a Catholic thing, yeah. Candles and incense are lit in Catholic churches when saying prayers for the Dearly Departed (I think, anyway. Am not Catholic so cannot be 100% sure).

Perhaps they're asking for the rather unlikely St. Neot to pray for them.

Lighting candles, votive or taper, is definitely a catholic thing. But I'm not sure about lighting incense sticks...hmm. I've never seen that. Incense is used during the liturgy while celebrating mass, which is a slightly different thing, and this is burned grains of incense (usually in a lamp, etc). Maybe this practice varies in catholic churches in different countries or regions, but I've not seen it here, nor the places I've been in Europe. The light, flame, and even the wax all have symbolic meanings, I can't see incense sticks quite providing the same images or meanings. Huh. Could just be the movie screwed it up.

Prolly more info than you wanted, ha.

I suspect a screw-up is a likely explanation. Or they just thought it looked pretty (which, to be fair, it does). The scene does give the impression of being stuck in as an afterthought.

You know, it wasn't until I read this sentence that I realised that John Barrowman would be perfect to play Flob.

Clearly, the man has missed his calling.

Inevitably, I read JB as Jon Blum rather than John Barrowman ;-) - a result of popping his head around radw, I thought...

I must see this movie. I must!

(I know, the next question is "who the hell are you?"...)

Dudette, where can I read some of "Work of Art"?

[randomling]

Erm... *flails*

Early parts of it are on the internet - LJ and OG - in various states of disrepair, as I tend to post things for feedback and then write whole new drafts! (There is also a completed first draft, but it really, really sucks, so I'm writing a new one.)

I could send you what's written of the new draft, namely the Prologue and Part One, if you would like that? (I am working on Part Two. It is giving me gyp.) Is email good?

I am a big fan of your work and therefore continuing to flail! :)

Yah, email over what you have - I'm korman@spamcop.net. Don't worry, I'm not going to put you under the microscope or anything, I'm just looking for good fanfic as I wait impatiently for the next season of Who. :-)

[randomling]

Will do!

By the way: YUM to the icon!
