'Mollywood' is a contradiction in terms. You ever tried to get an erection on MDMA? Exactly.

I wonder if the Mormons know their film industry is named after a drug.

#1 is not true
IamNoneOfTheThingsISayIam
It’s partly true. Anne Hathaway was in The Other Side of Heaven, a Disney movie about Mormons. And there are lots of movies made by LDS.
IamNoneOfTheThingsISayIam
They pretty much all suck though. And the word “Mollywood” isn’t a thing.
dilbobaggins
Eh. There are movies in the south that really don't hit theatres outside the south, so why not Mormons?

Nope, never heard of it here at BYU. Also “the other side of heaven” is a great movie. That’s the one with Anne Hathaway
WindyCityMatt
and I don't even know if that one fits into the "Mormon Movies" genre. It was distributed by Disney! It was a big budget deal.

Adam Ruins Everything is not always correct, as they freely admit. Just because it's on there, doesn't mean its true.
Chryses
True, but at least he uses Citations
RedDwarfIV
That he does. Citations allow you to check whether what he has said is accurate, or whether he has misrepresented his sources.
RedDwarfIV
If anything, the point I am making is that he is not an authority on what he talks about, and he probably wouldn't claim to be.
RedDwarfIV
I do appreciate the level of intellectual honesty that involves.

I hope that lobster 'mortality deal' is true because I've always been curious about it. Not enough to Google it but you know mildly curious
SizzleSal
They really only die by being eaten or starving or crushed etc. There are lobsters that can be over 100yrs old. Good stock= put back not eat
martyrmike
The best kind of curious.
Steelfin
Don't believe a word of it. They grow forever. Just ask the giant train sized lobsters that dominate the coasts. Terrors of the shallows.
Tyr13
I think its kind of a mix? They could technically be immortal outside of a chance cancer or disease, but due to growing all their life, >

> moulting starts getting tougher and tougher until they either die from exhaustion, or put off moulting and break their carapace >

> eventually, causing infection and death.
HappierThanASlinkyOnAnEscalator
its true they grow til they die. Also, doubt you care that much, but read Secret Life of Lobsters, its great & I never get to recommend it!

So you're saying we should act like lobsters?

DrPotatoHeadDO
They have a strong enzyme called telomerase that maintains the telomere of chromosomes acting like the cap on a shoelace to prevent fraying
DrPotatoHeadDO
It's the shortening of the telomere and subsequent damage to the chromosome that causes aging at the cellular level

I've never heard they were immortal in the first place. The only "immortal" being I've heard of is a jellyfish.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
not immortal, they just don’t “age” per se. oversimplified but that’s the gist.
flexOnEm
I thought that they did age tho, but had the ability to become an infant again
nppraxis
Yeah, lobsters are immortal, but eventually they get too big to do anything until they get picked off by a predator or can't shed the shell.

I didn't realise "immortal Lobster" was a meme. I knew they lived a long time, but never heard about them being immortal.
Gizmodian
Yeah. The only thing I've heard linked to immortality is jellyfish.
Alphariusmaybe
Essentially the telomeres at the end of lobster DNA are constantly rejuvenated whilst for most organisms they are shortened 1/2
Alphariusmaybe
This is linked to ageing and cell death, so in theory if telomeres are constantly renewed a cell is biologically immortal.
ImNotRacistBut
Or, more likely, that telomere length isn't always a good indicator of a cell's vitality.

Inb4 some jackass doesn't understand you're referring to the term and not films with LDS themes.

Peculiar that the neo nazi's worshipped Hess's grave. He flew to England in the beginning of the war and was detained. No very nazi of him
imnotryan
Look at how Hess and Nazis are handled in Germany. It could be NOBODY or like one guy visited the site. TIME TO BULLDOZE IT

If reason and facts were things that Neo Nazis cared about, they probably wouldn’t be Neo Nazis.

Molly wood is a funny name, but don’t think it’s a place. A genre for sure though

Never heard the term. Probably just made it up. “Mormon-made movies” is a genre, but I’m pretty sure “Mollywood” isn’t a thing.
SuckAnElf
Really you’ve never heard of the plethora of terrible Mormon movies? Singles ward for example? Brigham City? Other Side of Heaven?

Sort of this. Brigham City was meh, Other Side of Heaven was good, Singles Ward was garbage (same with Home Teachers and Church Ball).
IamNoneOfTheThingsISayIam
He’s talking about the term “Mollywood.” But yes, Mormon movies suck. Other Side of Heaven was ok. It was made by Disney, not Mormons.

Pretty sure a star athlete would fare better running and carrying people than jumping into a large body of water when they can’t swim.
LokiKingOfJotunheim
He would have done better finding another way or finding help. Getting in only created a 4th drowning victim...

At least in the US there are laws requiring you to report crimes, protections given to rescuers, but no law imposing a duty to rescue.
Dranolth
That's not how it works. You won't get sued in a situation like that, particularly if you can't swim. It would be like grtting sued for 1/?

Not taking down an armed robber. If you are not trained to do something, stay away from the situation and call any emergency service. 2/2

Maybe he knew he wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he became a bystander.

What if the kids could've saved themselves had he not gone in and subsequently needed help?

I was a bystander once. I still feel guilty to this day even though I did everything I could to save the guy.

Doing everything you could is the definition of "not a bystander". Not everyone can be saved. Be proud you tried.
