Is the scene in Jaws where he tells the story of the USS Indianapolis one of the best scenes in cinematic history?

Yes

Science says you're off by a lot.

Why do you try?

My favorite scene will probably always be Hans Landa’s first scene in Inglourious Basterds. Tense AF

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

It is a good one. The Indianapolis story is so heartrending.

It sure is

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Yes

Best scene in a movie filled with great scenes.

By far. That scene caused me to start researching the Indy. Read several books, watched documentaries on it... fascinating story.

I need to do the same. Would like to learn more

My favorite Jaws related statistic of the day? For every person bitten by a shark each year in the US, there are 10 bitten by a New Yorker... and that number greatly fluctuates because shark attacks are very, very rare in the US. New York human biting incidents... much more common and reliable.

it's worth it, but it is hear wrenching...especially as you start to find out how/why no one ever went looking for them, until it was waaaay too late.

definitely worth it though. it's a great way to honor those that died, to know their story.:thumbsup:

What is even crappier about the story is the scapegoat treatment of Captain McVay by the Navy that ultimately drove him to suicide in 68.

If you get saved on your deathbed with your last breath then too bad for you.

God is the ultimate judge, and He will judge the heart of those people in these types of hypothetical situations. All I can do is take His word for what it says, and it clearly says in the NT that baptism is a necessary part to obtaining salvation.

Yep. Heart wrenching

The Dennis Hopper scene where he tells Christopher Walken about his "ancestry" in True Romance is one of my favorites.

The world began in 1982. It'll end shortly after my death when someone decides to cut the lights off.

Also, none of you can prove me wrong...

...because you're all figments of my imagination.

You have write it down on something, napkin or whatever, and claim a higher power gave you the knowledge for it to be the TRUTH

Yo Mcgill, you should jump on this "prosperity gospel!"

How old do y'all think the earth is?

Roughly 4.54 billion years old, give or take 50 million years, per radiometric dating.

Scripture reveals in Genesis 5 and 7:6, if my math is correct, at the time of the flood earth was around 1650ish yrs old.
Around 300ish yrs after flood Abraham was born, Genesis 11, making earth around
1950 ish. Abraham was 100 when Issac was born. Issac was 60 when Jacob was born. Jacob was 91 when Joseph was born. Joseph lived 110 yrs. Making earth roughly 2310 yrs of age at Joseph death. Joseph was sold as a slave and put in Eygpt as a teen. According to Exodus that is were the decendants stayed for 400 ish yrs. So earth was around 2600 ish when Moses led Israel out of Eygpt. Now from history documents I’ve seen Moses wrote the first books of scripture between 1445 BC and 1400 BC. 2600 + 1400 = 4000. 1 AD to now is 2000 yrs. Around the 6000 yrs mark is what i believe.

What about the dinosaurs. Are they part of global scientific conspiracy that's purposefully misleading everyone for a yet to be determined end game.

Seemed like a good idea since the on topic thread usually stays off topic.
