YEATS WAS THE MOST VIOLENT OF THE NOBEL PRIZE WINNING POETS: Adam sent me this awesome compilation of Sean Bean death scenes. As Buzzfeed says, "Sean Bean dies a lot." I don't want to spoil the clip for you, but don't get too attached to the character that Sean Bean plays. I mean, he played one character named Prey (Faceless) and another named Toombs (Airborne). And if you think he's going to turn it around, well, three of his upcoming projects are Soldiers of Fortune (playing a Russian guy -- the Russian guys never survive), Silent Hill, and Missing.
And what's really impressive is the range of deaths. There is some real death artistry. Anyone can get shot to death, but shot through Yeats? Shot repeatedly on a bouncy couch, bang-boing-bang-boing? Shot while being strangled while driving? Or how about being garroted on a bridge, and then the bridge suddenly collapses, and then being hung? Or being menaced by cows, then falling off a cliff, then being pelted by cows? Or being impaled on debris on a boat, then going, gosh, this is not so bad, I mean, I'm only impaled on debris, at least the boat isn't exploding, and then guess what? Sean Bean, you are the dyingest man alive.
Yeah, can someone explain the livestock one?
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome. Death by flying cow.
ReplyDelete"Those are leather shoes, aren't they, Sean? Let's get him, cows!"
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, Bean doesn't have to worry about when he'll be killed off on his next series.

It's the fabulous 1990 movie, The Field; he gets caught in a livestock stampede and chased towards a cliff, where he chooses to be hit by them and they all go off the edge together, killing his fathers dreams of passing the land on and the herd as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that music from?
ReplyDeleteOkay, that was awesome. I didn't really see how anything could outdo LotR, but death by cow? Heh.
ReplyDeleteAh figured it out -- a trailer for the Dead Island video game.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're good.
ReplyDeleteCrazy good.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you know you're in the right place (for you) on the interwebs when you go to the comments just to ask if anyone knows the name of movie that the clip with the cows came from only to find, surprise surprise, that that's the clip everyone is talking about. You all are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have said it before (every time I see Sean Bean on the screen, actually...), but Sean Bean always gets the shaft. When Game of Thrones started up, my husband, bless his heart, was like see! He's the lead. But Sean Bean always gets the shaft.
