This is like that Jim Gaffigan joke about wanting to talk about a movie WAY after it's stopped being relevant. I've never watched this movie until today. I watched the extended cut of it. It's a damn long but cool movie. The ending was a bit hokey with the bait and switch tidal wave but overall I thought it was pretty bitchin. I will say that it was long enough that you could really get into the different characters. I think it's one of James Cameron's best movies.

Jim Gaffigan is hilarious. Haven't seen the movie though.

agreed. And wow, someone else who hasn't seen it. It came out in 1989 and I just got around to seeing it.

The new secret word should replace Jim Gaffigan with Hot Pockets.

I remember Abyss being a very cool movie... though the last time I watched it was around '95 I think.

from what I understand, the theatrical cut leaves out almost an entire subplot and the badass scene with the water creature.

I don't think they had the tech to make the water creature in 89. They did after Terminator 2 though and they released the extended cut after that with the new scene added as well as the remaining bits of the subplot with the SEALs and the warhead and the bigass wave scene.

They were able to do the water creature, but not the wave. Apparently ILM couldn't pull off the wave and had to include it later in the special edition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Abyss

Do not question me in front of the men, Whoozwah.
