Re: Re: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?
I've got a friend who was offered an appointment to West Point while he was in the Army in the early 1960s. The catch was that because he had bad acne, he would have to have his face sanded since West Point don't want no ugly graduates. He declined their "generous" offer. I guess caving has become more concerned with outward appearances than with "inner beauty".

Re: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?
I saw the initial release of Raiders of the Lost Ark in Alexandria, Louisiana, with a bunch of other archeologists. We dressed like we always did in the field (jeans and T-shirts), but carried no field gear. I think I had already retired my pith helmet by then, but I had worn fedoras for ages.

We would need to decontaminate our gear after having sat in most movie theaters though... Herman
RE: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?
When the IMAX Amazing Caves movie came out years ago several of the Bexar Grotto cavers met with the local IMAX theater and volunteered to do some rappelling or Tyrolean traverse stunts on the nearby buildings. Several options were discussed but ultimately the rope work was scratched. They did however invite all local cavers to watch the movie for free before it was officially released. They asked several of us to dress up in our gear for several showings. It was fun and I got to see the movie several times for free. Kurt

Re: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?
Fofo's right. Denise and I will surely show this movie poolside this summer (or whenever it comes out on DVD). The drinking game is a great idea. And at our poolside theater, everything will be in 3D except the movie. Dale On 1/22/2011 7:34 PM, Fofo wrote: Oh, who are we kidding?

RE: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?
We also know it's for entertainment (to make money), not a documentary accurately portraying caving techniques. (Did you expect it to be accurate and/or realistic Tim?) Caves are in 3D, so the 3D movie must be realistic, right?

I might even drive to Austin or San Antone to watch it cause who knows when it'll come out down here, if at all.
