A couple of frames of Kate Beckinsale getting out of a hot, steamy bath at an isolated research station at the South Pole is enough to send every male in the station into a cold shower.
Better yet, running frantically out onto the ice pack, stark naked, en mass.
Can’t help but wonder if their johnsons don’t get frostbite, though. This disquieting feeling is reinforced later when Kate loses a finger to frostbite, and the good doctor has to snip it off with giant shears. Ouch.
I can see now why they deliver 10,000 condoms to McMurdo Sound every season. That’s a minimum of 20 for each guy, for a six-month hitch?! Although, with a Kate Beckinsale on board, they likely had to double that quota.
Speaking of beautiful women, I’d think they would be accustomed to betrayal. If you can’t notice the telltale signs after knowing a person for ten years, maybe you deserve to be banished to Antarctica.
Take the time to enroll in some online courses in body language and nonverbal communication. The body never lies! Still, stranded in Antarctica, I’d be flashing back to steamy Miami all the time too, no matter the situation.
Ah, then there’s the good doctor. Tell me again why a superb physician would volunteer to go to Antarctica, with nothing to do but bandage ax wounds and cut off frozen digits?
Explain to me, also, just why Ph.D scientists shouldn’t be greedy? Is this a huge surprise to moviegoers??? Is that why we pay world class scientists so little, because they are better than that? Apparently Russian pilots are underpaid as well.
They actually have a pretty luxurious set up down there. One of the best parts of the film was exploring the community, watching the weather, and noticing the drastic measures needed to get around when the wind kicks up in a storm.
I wish they had shown some of the local wild life — birds, penguins, foxes. I was surprised nobody on the station had pets, either. A good Rx against cabin fever, and greed!!!
Too bad Kate Beckinsale was bundled up in Arctic furs all the time. Too bad none of the guys at the station made a romantic move on her. Even after six months in solitude with her?
With a gorgeous babe like that?
They’ve got to be gay.
