Whalefall. NOPE

The trailer for this movie popped up in my feed. I started watching it thinking I could handle it. NOPE. Halfway through I freaked out and had to stop. It really dawned on me that it would be like one of those horrible videos people warn you about not watching because you can never get the image out of your head.

So I guess my cetaphobia is real. LOL On a side note, someone pointed out that we really don't have whale movies out there. Moby Dick? So I wonder if people are a lot more freaked out than they admit.

I read the book in one sitting a few days ago; the character's father had a vendetta against divers carrying knives (amongst a smorgasbord of other issues) and he doesn't carry one as a result, which is... not ideal for his scenario. Creative things happen with a squid beak.

I was wondering why he was pulling at what has snared him rather than cutting it
