Buried vs. 127 Hours
    #17738277 -

I watched both of these movies recently and they were both fantastic! Since they were both following a similar plot or theme, I wondered which situation I'd rather be in if I was forced to. Then I thought I'd ask the shroomery!



Summaries for those who haven't seen it:

Buried - A man is trapped in a coffin buried under a couple feet of sand in the middle of the desert. He has a few items including a cell phone, a pocketknife, 2 green glow sticks, a shitty flashlight, a zippo lighter and a pencil. He has 2 - 3 hours before the coffin collapses under the weight of the sand.

127 Hours - A man goes hiking in the canyon lands in Utah. As he descending a small drop through a crack in the canyon, a rock slips and follows him on his way down and traps his arm between the large rock and the side of the canyon wall. He has a few items including climbing ropes and equipment, a flashlight, 350ml of water, two burrito's, a pocketknife with a dull knife and a sharper smaller knife, a walkman and headphones, a video camera and a picture camera.




There is 1 catch to the vote. the situation has the be the same as what they went through. Who knows if you'd do better or worse than them, but the situation has to be the same. That means you can't have any extra items with you, extra advantages, etc.


So what would you choose?
Buried or 127 Hours?
You may choose only one

If you liked buried chek out brake with Stephen Dorff I like the story a little better. This set up for the movie is, a guy is in a plexiglas box in the trunk of a car that is driving down the road. A few things happen to him while he's in there and someone want information from him.

Yes I watch a lot of movies.

Pick it, pack it, fire it up, come along and take a hit from the bong.

I've heard money doesn't buy happiness, well it sure pays the sadness debt!

Definitely Buried. I found 127 hours to feel like it's title.. Was just boring to me. I tried not to be too harsh, since it's based on a true story and all and wasn't written to be exciting. But it is what it is.

Buried wasn't a great movie by a long shot, though. But it at least kept my attention.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

That's why I'm leaning towards 127 Hours, but I probably wouldn't be able to handle it. I'm not a very healthy person and with that little amount of food and water, I wouldn't last as long as he did. Plus I probably wouldn't be able to fully go through with cutting my own arm off, it would hurt so much.

I have a problem with claustrophobia too but I only freak out once I'm trapped. If I take a few minutes to relax and calm down I can handle it pretty well, but with the added pressure of the situation it would be a lot worse. I think the worst thing about buried is he didn't have enough time. The guy from 127 Hours had days to think of ways to get out, the guy from Buried was rushed.

Don't think about your opinion of the movie, that's not what the poll is about. Think about it as if it wasn't a movie and it was YOU in the situation. Only use the movies and their experiences in the situations as references to how you would deal with it.

Buried was a fucking terrible movie. But you have to give the producers credit; that movie was probably pure profit seeing as how they just had to pay a guy to sit in a box and talk for an hour or so with a phone call here and there :lol:

Oh well in that case, still probably buried..

I'm pretty sure I'd rather die than amputate a part of my body myself, but who really knows until they're in that situation.

I'd probably just pick 127 hours, cut my arm off, and get a sweet prosthetic.
Fuck being buried alive.

It was first result when I looked under "what does stal stand for"


Ya most people don't do a simple google search. Instead they ask in forum and wait for an answer I never understand that:shrug:
