Quicksand Fans

Poor lass though! It must have been excruciating!

Scene has good production value for visuals and sound, but it is very brief, and the quicksand is very watery.

Hydrogen peroxide seems to be better than alcohol, provided you put it in the ears. Of course, if the alcohol is ethyl the model can drink it. That does nothing for a blocked ear but she doesn't care anymore (lol)

That’s strange. Unless there’s rules here about movies uploaded to YouTube, which I guess is fair enough.

The link was to the entire movie, which is relatively new, and currently being streamed. It's piracy via Youtube, which is not new.

If our anti-piracy stance was followed to a logical conclusion, then any mention of Youtube would have been obliterated. Consider this a compromise.

The behind the scenes clips were interesting, and quite abundant.

What stood out for me in the bits that I listened to (and even in the text overlays) was the mixture of English and Malay when they were speaking. The do the same thing in the Philippines - so much so that it is coined Taglish (Tagalog and English). It sounded very familiar.

That, and the mechanics of shooting the scene. All very familiar.

Mixing languages is very common. My own paternal grandmother was born in Sicily and came to the USA at 15. She never really learned a lot of English but by the time she was 70 she did not really know, when she spoke, what was English and what was Italian.

That's not the same thing.

I was referring to people mixing English with their native language in their own country. The equivalency with your grandmother would have been if she mixed English with Italian while she was still in Italy.

I'm not familiar with people mixing languages while they speak (except for the odd word or two) anywhere in Europe.

My grandmother had that experience. In 1961 she was given,y her sons, a first class ticket to visit her relatives in Sicily. The trip was planned for one month. She was back in ten days. She discovered she could barely communicate with her own relatives. She no longer knew what was Italian and what was English. Part of the problem was she had almost no formal schooling. I was told she finished the second grade.

Ouch. This makes me wonder. Have any of our models every had to go through this and go to a clinic after a shoot?

(emphasis added)
This has been my experience after living for years on-and-off in Europe in a non-English-speaking country. I have never encountered an equivalent of "Taglish" which is very interesting.
