Originally posted by samcarterrules View PostHey Everyone,
Hehe, I was watching Solitudes yesterday to chelle
I wondered if Sam's first fall, from the DHD down to Jack, was Amanda?? But would she have been allowed to the big fall from the hole Sam had made all the way to the bottom??? I know the actors did more of their own stunts in the early seasons but the way Sam fell made me think it was Amanda at the top before Sam started to fall and after laying at the bottom, but not during the big fall? What does everyone think? I agree about their clothes to
Sam did mention that they had thermal blankets when she was listing what they had, so I would assume that that was what they would be laying on. Wind chill is a great factor in frost-bite (I think) and as they were inside the crevasse they would have been somewhat sheltered. I think that they must have been there several days.
The point I always think about is that the SGC is in Colorado which is in the centre of the North American continent. Jack and Sam were in the Antarctic - the SOUTH polar region. When they found them, the General, Teal'c and Daniel flew to where they were and got there before they were rescued. Did they go by Concord? Transport planes would have taken many hours to get there. I remember when our forces were going to the Falklands and they had to re-fuel the aircraft several times in the air. A large dose of Poetic Licence methinks!

Originally posted by silly sally View Post'Stuck' is crap, if only for the botch editing/directing that allowed Amanda's 'nip slip'; I don't think Amanda would be too pleased to learn that such a craptacular piece is being sold...
For a low-budget film I felt it was excellent.
And yes, as others said, Amanda was a little shocked at the film being available, (especially since I don't believe she's getting a penny from it, unfortunately. I bought mine the first time Lindsay sold them, a long while agai, and wondered about that at the time) but I believe it was more that she was surprised Lindsay would release it, since it hadn't been released before. I think we were all, Amanda included, shocked that it ever saw the light of day.

Ehm what are you guys talking about when discussing Stuck? I read some comment Amanda made and, out of respect for her, I don't watch that movie. That's also why I made an alternative to the (pages ago) Samandan TV scheduele . Unless you Samandans give your "blessing" to me seeing it. What scene is it? I'm 21 so, (this is mean without an insult) ya don't need to tell me the kids version of it.
Rocky, During every AT convention at the Rennaisance Hotel, I'm as close to Amanda as I'll ever be, the distance London-Tongeren included.
What do you think a series of "what ifs"
- What if there was a comedy with Amanda in it, and the other cast members were Samandans.
- What if there was a documentary: excursions with Amanda and her Fans. Which cities / Countries would we go to. (For practicle reasons, no traveling hotel costs, or airplane costs, just if the rule'd be: if everyone who participates in it would donate 10 bucks to Unicef or DWB (Doctors Without Borders, Médecins sans frontiers) we'd a ) have a great time with Amanda and b) we tried to make people happy (Unicef or MSF donation), so we'd have fun with an eased mind
- What if the next movie was partially shot in my town.
- What would Amanda say / do when we named one of our kids Amanda (If I ever have the change I do that)
What if....

The music was elevator music...almost aptly chosen but not very nice to listen to...but the message in it...I thought it was great.
With regard to "the scene"...I do wish it was edited at that one point only because we know about Amanda's nudity clause...so for her and the fact that some n00b has now put it on YT...for that reason I wish it had been edited. I don't watch it for that scene...I've seen it 3 times now...once on my own, once with hubby and once with a friend of mine who's a member here in GW...and for me one of the best parts was when they were telling their stories...I like Fred Henderson...when he warms up...he's good!!
So yes...while it was done on the cheap...it still was great.

Originally posted by jckfan55 View PostAs much as I have a problem with the ending--mostly because I don't think they'll follow up on it-- or follow up well--I don't think it makes Sam look incompetent at all. Woolesy saysSpoiler:"different skill set." I interpreted that as them going for civilian rather than military command. Typical stupid IOA moves again is what I see the decision as.Spoiler:i didn't feel it made sam look incompetent either. the ioa hired her and then they essentially fired her. they're jerks and woolsey's the least of the jerks. he's in for a rude awakening, though, on how commanding really works. can't follow the rule book word for word when faced with the things they're faced with.
we'll see how they follow this storyline, because i'm hoping their decision bites them in the butt.
but what i'm *really* hoping for is sam moving on to something great! though commanding atlantis was great....
COMMANDING THE SGC!

it's one of the things making losing sam on atlantis bearable.
I wonder if her name will go above the title in the credits?

Originally posted by samcarterrules View PostI agree chelle I hold my copy of Stuck as special and I think I'm very privileged to have it. Its a fantastic movie. But I don't think Amanda knew Lindsay Bourne was selling it.

Originally posted by Skydiver View PostStuck would be perfectly suited as a stage play. Since it's basically one set all through. I do think the writing needs to be tweaked a bit, tightened up and the like. You could definitely tell that it was a 'three day shoot' or whatever it was.
If i was producing it on stage i would almost consider them starting the sex scene...intermission, then come back with it just over. less emphasis on the sex and more on the emotions of those involved. give it a little more feeling and heart
Having watched it, yeah, it's a total 180 from anything we've ever seen amanda in, so i think that's why she did it, to do something different. But i can also see why it's not gone anywhere (compare it to sanctuary, which is also a very non-sam role...sanctuary was made for a broad appeal so it's getting on the network, stuck is more nitch and it shows)
Originally posted by Celandine View PostI heard or read somewhere, cant remember which now, but Sam's last major slide down the ice was unplanned and all AT. She was just supposed to carefully scoot herself down toward the bottom to where Jack was, but being the clumsy that she is in real life, AT took a very dramatic fall instead. After they stopped filming and ascertained that she was okay afterwards, besides some bruising of course, they decided to keep the scene in as is...hehe.
Originally posted by majorsal View Postmaybe if i'd seen the entire movie, or if i'd been able to see scenes before and after to get a feel on their characters, but that scene's all i've seen (besides some little clips), so the essence of their characters is lost on me.

Originally posted by MerryK View PostI know what you mean...I didn't even recognize Teal'c and Sam the first time through! What's really funny about that scene is that, of all the characters, Sam and Vala should have switched!

but here was no way in hades they'd have kept sam and jack waiting for the 2-3 days it'd have taken them to get down there

and, after i got back from AT3 and we got the sanctuary address, i sent her a copy and told her how many he sold and what he was charging for them. What happens/happened is between him and her. but she knows what happened now
