LillyPipDo you hold your breath during underwater scenes in movies?
tacosanonymousI did as a child.
It ruined Finding Nemo for me.

I actually passed out during the little mermaid opening scene
Depends on the scene. In the one aliens movie (resurrection?) where they had to swim underwater to the next hatch, yes
Ha! That was the exact scene I had in mind!
Dasus“Aquaman”? No.
“Mission Impossible”? Yeah.
Depends entirely on how likely I think it is to be in any way realistic. Often I might check the time they’re underwater. 1-2min is still realistic, although very challenging for an average non-trained person. You can quite quickly train yourself up to a few minutes, some dude on YT tried went from 30s to about 4min.
However it’s usually reliant on conserving oxygen, having a low pulse and no adrenaline etc. Quite the opposite of what is usually going on in movies like MI.
I too sometimes check the time to see if it is realistic, since the only character with a real chance of surviving underwater is Guybrush Threepwood. It kind of looks implausible in every action movie, though
😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈FYI: new World Record for holding breath under water is 29+ minutes.
I’m sure he had zero activity during that effort.
I don’t believe it? 29 minutes??? Although Guybrush can do whatever during those 10 minutes, so Guybrush still wins 😜
Snot FlickermanI don’t but it probably wouldn’t ruin such scenes because I have always been a swimmer and can hold my breath for a fairly decent amount of time, almost 2 minutes.
The record without pre-gaming with oxygen seems to be about 4 and a half minutes.
talI’m sure that I have before when a character is oxygen-deprived, but I can’t remember exactly when.
I think I did when watching that scene in Event Horizon where a character is momentarily possessed and enters an airlock and initiates the decompression sequence to space, where he’s briefly exposed to a hard vacuum before being knocked back into the airlock by a rescuing crew member.
leadoreYes, but just until I realize I’m doing it then I breathe.
HotsauceHurricaneYa goddamn right I do.
I remember doing it a lot during a long kiss goodnight water torture scene.
Don’t play Subnautica, you’ll die :)
I don’t think I’ve ever done that but I do hate seeing deep cuts and bleeding in movies (and IRL as well) and the longer it goes the woozier I feel. I start getting pale and uncomfortable, lol.
Tywèle [she|her]I already get uncomfortable reading your description of it. But it wasn’t always like that for me (it got worse with HRT somehow)
No. Do you have sex during sex scenes?
Whenever possible.
I like your style.
You don’t?
