# Bizarrely,
it's the worst bit of the film. Htf did that happen?

# It's more unsettling than the rape.

I really enjoyed the film, but there are so many uncomfortable bits I find rewatching it deeply unpleasant.

# In the book the guy just gets stabbed in the neck which is far less gory.

# I would've preferred the laughable book ending to the one we got.
Just so we could've seen the repulsive DNA nightmare organism.

# I take it all back
I forgot about the awful "happily ever after" epilogue.

and why show the news stand guy? There was no kid reading the pirates comic was there...?

maybe I'm just exhausted after 3 hours of it.
