For the sake of balance, please can you post vids of scantily clad, tanned and muscled men swimming like mermen and scaling rockfaces too?

PS I love the fact she blatantly had to get her bikini out of of butt before she sett off

Good film. The only difference between that and Bermuda DWS is that we crack open a Heineken when we top out.

If there's a balance that needs striking then surely its scantily clad, tanned muscly women that are under represented.

For heavens sake, let's keep the tone as low as possible, no pretence at being interested in the climbing please.

Route? Climbing...?

I'd watched it 3 times before I spotted the climbing!

In reply to UKC News:

Nobody has commented on the deep philosophical questions raised by the appearance of a red ballon at 4m55s. This red balloon is the entire essence of the film. The lurid footage of not-that-big-but-quite-adequate-and-pleasant jugs(*) and Hobbit-proportioned feet in the preceding 4 minutes, is rendered irrelevant by this balloon. Can we talk about the balloon, like proper intellectuals, please?

Ta.


* jugs is "ClimberSpeak" for handholds

You took the words out of my mouth, I can't believe more people haven't commented on the beach ball. Such a beautiful and lurid twist to end the film on. I click my fingers in praise.

I must have missed that, I'd better watch it a couple more times...

Yes, it sits well alongside the 1956 classic, Le Ballon Rouge

And of course, the hairy-armpitted Nena's 99 Red balloons..

That looks suspicously like the beach ball that scored an own-goal for Sunderland against Liverpool. Clearly it has been banished from the Kop, thrown into the Mersey and has now made it's lonely way to the Adriatic. Here it bobs on the surf, trying to find solace in admiring Natalija's arse, but will always feel the pain of the exile, hence the somewhat haunting music.

It's a theory..

In reply to Jamie Bankhead:

excellent synopsis of this short film.

a profound and clearly existentialist offering.

The french music certainly adds an artistic flair to the production.

I think if they played Eric Pride it may lose its place in the art category.

Mick I haven't managed to watch all of this yet.... just like all the Vimeo things on UKC, my computer just about manages 10 seconds then stops for 30 then starts again. So I get bored and click off it. Why does this happen? Does it happen to anyone else?

Start it, pause it, go away for 5 minutes then come back and start it again.

Right click on the video, click on settings and drag the local storage slider to the right. I've set mine to 10mb and it seems to work.
 Skyfall 28 Nov 2009
There is a bit at about 54 seconds when it looks like she farts.

Part of her propulsion system, apparently

Thanks Alan, it worked but it took 20 minutes! I'll have a go at Mkeans idea if I can unbderstand it...

True, and neither do they belch, sweat or snore. Therefore, they must bitch, else they will explode.

I'll get my coat...
