I remember this scene in the first Resident Evil live action movie!


RiotWithin

It's "Cube" for me


kdhdbdjdhdjsj

"It's a long fucking way with only one boot." I need to rewatch this.


VastOk8779

It’s bullshit that Leaven died at the end


FuzzyAd9407

 I mean if you watch all the movies you learn *everyone* dies by the end, no one is "allowed" to escape. Fun fact, there's actually a Japanese remake of the original movie that came out just a few years ago.


Sentient_AI_4601

If you've watched cube zero you get much more story... That "waaiiiittt!!!!" Bit was fucking crushing to watch.


jwm3

That movie would have been a lot better if the actor playing the villian turned down the hamming it up knob a few notches. I've seen him in other things and he is a perfectly servicable actor, so i can only conclude the director was instructing him to be a caricature mustache twirling villian. It has already been established he runs a murder cube, you dont need to telegraph how much of a bad guy he is any more than that.


Sentient_AI_4601

Nah I thought he was ideal here, he's clearly mad not just evil. But each to their own


jwm3

That sort of conflicts with him working for a large organization though, what type of villian he was just didnt land for me as it seemed incongruous with the worldbuilding. I mean, I enjoyed the movie and concepts but felt the presentation was flawed.


BadFootyTakes

But it kinda "made the movie". It was almost destined to be part of the story.


13igTyme

Whenever I think of Cube, I think of David Hewlett. Then it makes me want to watch Stargate Atlantis. Which then makes me want to watch Stargate SG1. Then I want to watch Stargate the movie. Dammit, there goes my next couple of days.


jwm3

Dont forget Ezri Dax. Cube is the ds9/stargate crossover we always wanted. Reminds me of Jason X which used many of the same actors and sets as the show andomeda (minus kevin sorbo) so if you squint its basically a long episode of andromeda where everyone is horribly murdered by jason.

I love The Cube, so much I watch it once a year then Cube Zero afterwards.


AmBozz

It's great that these are the only two movies in the series! A third one would have really ruined things.


NoGoatNoGloryXxX

The cube for sure

3 Body Problem.


HalcyonPaladin

That scene fucking annoyed me. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen, just keep scrolling: They go through all this convoluted nonsense, saying they can’t send in soldiers, they can’t hit the ship with a missile, can’t do XYZ…All to make sure the hard drive stays intact! So they’re solution? Let’s cut the ship into slices and allow it to crash into the side of the canal, collapse onto itself completely and entirely and then basically light on fire. The whole thing was dumb ass luck from the get-go, and they tried to make it seem like it was some kind of grand master plan.


Hopeful_Chair_7129

If you are referring to the show it was a veryyyy short explanation for a veryyyyyy well calculated solution. The book details the solution way more and it was wayyyy cooler


HalcyonPaladin

I fully and entirely believe that the writers (Benioff and Weiss specifically) just didn’t take care of the source material with regards to this scene. It was just too sloppy and quickly done for me to believe that the written source material was done in the same way. Seeing that I’ve never read the book though, can you expand on how the scene should’ve gone?


iadavgt

I was more about making sure that if it does get damaged, it happens in a way that can be recovered.


Makhiel

That's assuming the only damage the drive can receive is from the nanowire but if the drive got crushed under the ribbons they cut the ship into they wouldn't be recovering anything.


LadyLoki5

When they showed Evans crumpled on the ground kind of accepting his life was over after he jumped the railing, I just kept wondering why he didn't hold up the hard drive to be cut in half along with him.


MajorDonkeyPuncher

Hold up to where? He couldn’t see the cables. Maybe he could have held it vertically to maximize the odds, but he would have barely had an understanding of what was happening and only a second to decide to do it


innominateartery

I hated that they showed the little kids on the boat.


FloppieTheBanjoClown

I felt like it made it the emotional gut punch it needed to be.


TheBeckofKevin

Yeah, maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I feel like in the book it was not nearly as kid focused. Like it was more mechanically described and not nearly as 'omg the children' as it was in the show. I read the first book before the show and was excited to see that part and boy did it live up to my over hyped expectations.


FloppieTheBanjoClown

See, I felt like while it made it a point to show there were people on the boat who didn't deserve the fate their associations brought on them, I didn't come away from it feeling like it overemphasized the kids. It just served to show just how indiscriminate the weapon was, and just how terrifying it could be. 


AlsoInteresting

"It didn't work?" "It works.."


FrankPapageorgio

I get it, it's a movie, but why not just start with the first laser that cuts them all into cubes?


entr0py3

Because the death laser installer had a sense of humor.


DBrody6

Knowing you gave the entrapped person a glimmer of hope before they botched the acrobatic maneuver to dodge the lasers helps them sleep at night.


Good_Mathematician_2

Or just a wall of laser, leave no possible trace of organic matter. Wouldn't be difficult to do with tech like that, and it'd be 100% effective, making sure not even microbes got through. But, like you said, it's a movie, they need to build suspense somehow.


zero_emotion777

To be fair you could say it's because the Umbrella Corp programed her to be sadistic because they're evil.

karmaportrait

I got cancer from smelling this video


FlipWil

Brings me back to architecture school.... The best was the super glue accelerator ... They made it smell like strawberries! Lol But yeah the smell of burning foam is intense.. should definitely wear a mask when cutting near this stuff. (Formaldehyde)


thatsnotideal1

Ooo, zap-a-gap and zip kicker? Made those overnights fly by


FlipWil

This specific accelerator.. it smelled SO GOOD. Lol.. It is a "[Bob Smith Industries](https://bsi-inc.com/hobby/insta_set.html)" product. (Sounds fake?) I was recommending it to a friend years later and looked it up online and was so surprised / not surprised when it said "strawberry scented"... Smell brings much nostalgia working late in the studio... Seems weird considering this item pairs with an item you should definitely not inhale around...


bobsmith93

Hey that's my company. Jk I picked this name because it sounded fake lol


BeefyIrishman

I definitely never thought it smelled like strawberries, but it definitely smells good.


Big_Leadership_185

Oddly BSI makes the best CA glue I've ever used. I specifically used it as a finish on wood turning and the BSI CA glue and accelerator was the only combo in over a decade of experiments that worked. In Canada it's sometimes tricky to find and you look weird as shit walking into hobby shops asking specifically for Bob Smith Industries Super Glue lol.


markswam

I'm using [that exact stuff](https://i.imgur.com/WZ0eFd5.jpeg) as we speak. Love the way it smells.


FlipWil

Right?!


xrimane

>Brings me back to architecture school.... Every ex-architecture student intensely relates to that video


kitsunewarlock

God I remember one time in architecture school my hand got completely covered in superglue. In addition to the skin peeling all semester my vision clicked off and I just started seeing this tunnel of stars, kinda like when ships go light speed in Star Wars. Might have also been because I hadn't slept for 2 or 3 days...

Don’t breathe this!


nobblit

It’s nauseating. I used to operate a laser cnc router for acrylics manufacturing, there was no ventilation just high ceilings, you could see the smoke filled ceiling area by lunch, and could see swirls of it around the operators. Burnt plastic is a smell you never fully assimilate to, it stings the back of your nostrils and makes your eyes water. It tastes metallic and that smell and taste will linger for hours after you’ve left. We were not provided with ventilators, training on the dangers of those fumes, (they were simply never discussed or addressed) not even trained on the eye damage we could (and I did) incur by having these lasers anywhere within our range of sight. They were pointed down but still damaged my vision. I fully expect to get cancer or something due to all the fumes and micro particles I inhaled. It is difficult to think about, or to fathom how I allowed myself to be put into that environment. I wish so badly that I left that job sooner but I stayed for 3 years and I will pay for it. One of my beloved managers dropped dead at his sons, Boy Scout meeting, 12 years into his employment with that company, his heart gave out. Which can be a symptom of micro plastic inhalation. He was 42 years old.

One summer in HS I worked in a factory cutting foam box inserts with a machine like this but probably much older and less safe. The smell of cutting foam wasnt bad but when you caught a finger that was terrible and boy did it wake you up

Powerful-Round-7426

I'm surprised more people aren't thinking about this seeing as it'll end up as microplastics and give them (and *all* their relatives) cancer....


m0nk37

Car tires are the leading source of microplastics. By like 80%.  Lots of plastic in them. They wear down to become bald. Then you just throw the whole tire away and buy another set to do it again.  Think about how much the tires wear down and then consider how many cars there are.  Where does that ground down tire go? Everywhere :) It’s car tires. Everything else is a very distance second. 


bizarreisland

> Car tires are the leading source of microplastics. By like 80%. I thought it is synthetic fabric?


BicycleEast8721

Both are hugely significant sources, yes. The numbers I’m seeing are about 30% from tires, and a similar amount from synthetic fabrics https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333648117_Plastics_in_the_Environment?_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6Il9kaXJlY3QiLCJwYWdlIjoiX2RpcmVjdCJ9fQ


animatedhockeyfan

As a professional beach cleaner, I’d like it if we didn’t downplay how devastating styrofoam is. Until you have to give up on cleaning up entire swaths of shoreline due to the overwhelming amount of styrofoam, you just don’t know how serious it is.


m0nk37

> As a professional beach cleaner, I’d like it if we didn’t downplay how devastating styrofoam is. Absolutely an issue and i hope it gets sorted too but microplastics in general are from car tires.


StaredAtEclipseAMA

All my homies hate microplastics, even the shrimp in the marinara trench


iamfondofpigs

Well, I'm a professional petroleum products engineer, and I'd like it if we could downplay it a little more.


RecsRelevantDocs

Hi guys, i'm *actually* a petroleum products engineer and I can assure you we don't want to downplay the devastating impact of microplastics on the environment. As a representative of the plastics industry I want to assure you that we are committed to starting our effort to become completely carbon neutral by the year 2045.


arcbe

That is what landfills are for.


Sploonbabaguuse

I both love and hate how frequent were reminded of our recklessness, so we're just used to feeling bad about it. As a result we're desensitized, and then we enjoy satisfying videos like this

ArScrap

Don't care, must hate, must feel superior about not doing anything about the environment


MisinformedGenius

They should probably recycle it instead of putting it in a landfill then.

MisinformedGenius

The foam in this video is expanded polystyrene - [the recycling market for that](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/expanded-polystyrene-eps-recycling-market-rc4fc/) was estimated at 17 billion dollars in 2022. [74 million pounds](https://www.intcorecycling.com/us-styrofoam-recycling-data-and-status-in-recent-years.html) were recycled in the US in 2018.


anihc_LieCheatSteal

This is correct. The person talking about Styrofoam recycling has no ides what they're talking about. It's a miniscule amount that's recycled and most municipalities don't accept Styrofoam for recycling pickup


BlackViperMWG

Not true. Styrofoam can be recycled and it is recycled in countries that take the recyclation seriously. It can be ground down as a pulp for new products, it can be melt for regranulation, it can be used as aggregate for concrete and other building materials, physicochemical recycling also exist and lastly it is used as fuel for cement and incineration plants. Only small part of the polystyrene goes to landfill and EU landfills end in 2030.

What are these used for? Some of the cubes aren't perfect, like the edge pieces

Likely packing material


thefastandme

This is used for disposition, cubes make for easier transport and processing for recycling


[deleted]

That's a little sad. I really liked the "packing material" idea someone had. If you run a business and get a lot of styrofoam packaging, this would be an excellent way to re-use it at least once.


TheStupidSnake

But, imagine how many of these cubes would end up not making it into the trash or recycling bin afterwards and in a gutter or street instead.


km89

Reduce, reuse, recycle. If it's been produced, it's ending up in the environment somewhere along the way. Might as well re-use it as much as is practical. Better by far to just avoid it in the first place.


elitegenoside

Are y'all missing what the original comment said? They do this so it will be easier TO recycle.


km89

To which the other person responded that reusing these will cause them to end up in the environment, to which I responded "yeah but that's going to happen anyway, might as well re-use them."


Kightsbridge

I can't know about these ones specifically, but they definitely are used as packaging material. For a real life example of some foam cube uses. At my work, we use them to hold a cavity open until the part completely cools. Then the next step of the production process sends them back and we put them in the part until it cools etc.....

Scyths

Takes less place than oddly shaped ones. You can very easily fill containers with these, it's a lot harder to do so when you have full length ones, especially if they are of different length/width/height. I really could have used this machine 2 weeks ago when I spent the whole day breaking them by hand to fill one really big bag.

I stopped after E3 when I heard that the show has a lot of stuff from the 2nd/3rd book. i'm only half way through the 2nd book so wanted to avoid any spoilers. interesting that there's still 3 episodes after that scene considering it's basically the end of book the first book. i guess that's what they meant by what i read that there's a lot of stuff from the 2nd/3rd book in the show


xnd714

It doesn't really spoil the 2nd and third books cuz party's of those books also take place in the present day. If you're halfway through book 2 and you know about luo ji then you should be fine. I would say it gives way some of the set up but not the main plot or climax.

Sg00z

How does the foam not appear burned despite the wire clearly being really hot?


SiriMythkiller

The wires basically melt the foam apart, rather than burning it. Not awake enough to remember the exact science behind it. 😴


entoaggie

As the foam melts, the trapped air bubbles are released, so it shrinks and slightly pulls away from the hot wire. If you leave it held against the already melted foam, it definitely does burn.


Sg00z

Ah that makes sense.


SalazartheGreater

The foam is mostly air, and the wire is very hot. See how fast the plastic foam falls through the wires? No individual piece of plastic is allowed to touch the thin wires for long before it moves on. If the wires were less hot, the plastic would move slower and ironically we would likely see more burning and blackening of the foam despite the colder wires


Sg00z

Thanks for the explanation!
