Hi all,
Just thought I'd share (in case this wasn't already posted) that there is a scene in the new Tomb Raider flick that depicts a male soldier wetting his pants from fright. He and other soldiers have followed Lara into some African cave to find the Cradle of Life. When they reach what appears to be a petrified forest, the "trees" become living, terrifying creatures that begin to maul and devour the soldiers one by one. The camera zooms in on one of the soldiers, who is holding his gun with a look of sheer terror on his face, and then flashes to his crotch, where piss is shown soaking his camouflage pants. The wetting lasts no more than three seconds.
However, I couldn't help thinking how much better the scene would have been if we'd gotten the full body shot - the ripped soldier, quivering with fear, clutching his gun to his chest, his eyes swimming with terror, and then zooming in just a little closer as the wetness blooms across the front of his pants and down his trembling legs, forming a puddle at the soles of his boots.
*There's* a movie worth nine bucks. :-)
