Orson Scott Card, of all people, wrote the "novelization" of The Abyss, which includes backstory on the three main characters.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Dana, did you just read the wikipedia page on the Abyss?
I just did!
I deleted my comment about the mouse in the pink goo from my previous post for fear I was remembering it wrong. But no. My movie trivia knowledge is sadly vast.
I'd like more info on the liquid flourocarbon experiment...That can't have been pleasant for the vermin.
Off to wiki again...

Nope. I own the book. And the director's cut of the movie, somewhere.

I hated the director's cut of The Abyss.
I thought it went to a super-preachy place that took me out of a movie-enjoying place and into "I must now feel bad because I am a warful and destructive ugly human". I thought the simplicity of the theatrical version was much more lovely.
I just really enjoyed all the characters and the relationship between Bud and The Bitch. And Michael Biehn *sigh* I rented Planet Terror for you, and you didn't disappoint me.

I should not be allowed to watch It's a Wonderful Life. It hits my cry button way too easily.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
I watched IAWF four years running, late at night on Christmas Eve. That's some depressing shit, right there.

Thrive to spite them
I love It's a Wonderful Life, but I'm more about the love story between George and Mary than anything else.

I put it on for the kids cause I realized they had never seen it (not sure how, but that is something else). Well, they both ditched me and I turned into a water fountain at the end.
