How would you like to die?

I'd want to get bitten by a Zombie and sacrifice myself by blowing myself up and saving my friends and preventing myself from turning.

That's a good one.

I myself would take any blaze of glory/hail of gunfire type of death.

Nuff said. Though I'd like a root beer float in my hand before I blow up too.

I want it to be brutal and violent. Something to remember, if I have to go I want it to be worthy or be something so horrific you will remember it. On that same note, being buried alive and consumption by an animal are out of the question. Hmmmm, I think something like fighting off hoards with some sort of sword while being hacked at till I am unable to resist in any way. Perhaps preventing some large explosion but failing. It is hard to give an exact. Maybe a hanging, I think that would do it. I'm a bit heavy I think that would pop my head like a cork.

I'd want to get blown up. Not just any explosion, mind you, but something in the kiloton or megaton range. And it would have to be one of those scenes where I don't see it coming until a second before it happens.

Like the ending of DefCon 4, when the villain looks at the missile tubes, sees the one remaining bomb and says "Hey, aren't those all supposed to be empty?"

Ah, I get what you mean there! I think I was actually thinking of the concept differently than what was meant. Since the question was "if you were a character in a movie and had to die", I was putting myself in the shoes of an actor, playing a character, and as that actor, I'd get to take my character's prop head home after shooting was done. I wasn't really thinking within the skin of the character itself, which is probably what the original question meant. I took it as "if you PLAYED a character in a movie..." Oops!

These are the film characters for which I have extreme empathy.
(1) I know how they think.
(2) I know what they'd do.
(3) I know what they'd say.
And thus, I know how they'd die, and how I'd want to die.

Some are more anonymous than others.

Dinosaur
Bruton, the Iguandon (voiced by Peter Siaguse)
crushed to death

Fright Night
Edward (Evil Ed) Thompson (Stephen Geoffreys)
impaled on a broken table leg

Heathers
Kurt Kelly (Lance Fenton)
shot between the eyes

Lair of the White Worm
Kevin (Chris Pitt)
drowned in the tub. Sex will never be better

The Alamo (2004)
one of the Texicans
shot. fall off the roof of the Mission. shot twice more before hitting the ground.

Bugsy Malone
a Fat Sam gangmember
shot with a Splurge gun

Enemy of the State
NSA employee
sawed-off shotgun blast to the chest

Glory
officer in the 54th Massachusetts
shot

Krull
one of the outlaws
unknown

Les Miserables
one of the student agitators
shot, then bayoneted, and then bludgeoned by a rifle butt

The Lord of the Rings (1978)
one of the Riders of Rohan
hacked to death by swords

The Messenger
one of the squires of the captain of the king's archers
speared in the stomach and then killed falling from a breidge

The Mission
one of the missionaries
shot to death

Waterloo
one of the allied cavalryman
stabbed in the back by a French lance, when my horse becomes bogged down in the mud

Zulu Dawn
one of the cavalryman
stabbed in the throat by a Zulu spear

I'm a fan of freak accidents. My favorite way to die would be to attempt a backflip in front of a crowd (perhaps a circus or street performance), only for gravity to cause me to land on my head, breaking my neck.

Eaten alive from the inside is a good one too.

A noble death would be to bring a loved one to safety while taken extreme punishment.

I don't know if you'd neseccarily cout it as a "death" but some sort of transformation to higher plane of existence. Like in 2001: A space Odessey.

The heroic death I'd want is from battle wounds after a massive sword fight saving someone important and then the film's heroine holds me.

That or dinosaurs. Just so the last thing I saw was something awsome.

There's a scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life where a man gets to choose his own execution method.

He chooses to be chased off a cliff by topless girls in sports gear. That seems a fairly nice way to go.

It's okay - probably not worth avoiding the spoiler/my explanation of the spoiler. :smile: I'm sure it's a good show, and I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurved Lauren Ambrose back in the day. It just felt played out for me a few episodes into the first season, and it kept going. I checked back in for the series finale. The final sequence provides a forecast of when and how all of the characters die - most of them prematurely and unhappily. But Lauren's character (who receives the final forecast) has a full and happy life, lives to be 100, and dies peacefully in her sleep. :cheers:
