David Blaine

[Jet Set Willy]

So he 'made it'. I watched live as he came out of the box, secretly hoping to see some emotion from him. First thing he did as he came out of the box was make a sad, helpless crying noise, before breaking down. He was too weak to stand, walk or barely talk. He may well die. It was really sad and tough to watch.

I don't care if you hate him for what he did. I have a lot of respect for him, as he did what he wanted to do for himself, didn't give up, and I believe he did it for reasons which are very valid to himself even if a lot of people don't understand.

[Badger]

I''ve always hated him.

[Codeine]

What did he do.

[Jet Set Willy]

I can't help but feel compassionate to somebody who decides to destroy himself just to prove himself to himself.

I don't hate him, he's too charismatic.

[Badger]

he could do it privately, then I wouldn't hate him

[Codeine]

Junkies destroy themselves to prove themselves to themselves.

[Codeine]

Ive heard of him, but what did he do? Stay in a box for a week?

Lasted*

[Jet Set Willy]

Yes, and fasted.

[Badger]

When he wears a wolly hat, he looks like Craig David. thats more than enough reason to hate anyone.

[ScotchGuy]

He seems smart.

[hitmonlee]

did you check it out during the 44 days waz?
meet his chick?
i hear she was there most of the time...

[Jet Set Willy]

I can&#39;t be bothered to go to London anymore.

[Danny]

I went there, it was pretty quiet when I went.

Did anyone see the bit where he pulled the heart out of his chest? I
thought that was pretty poor and what about that bit where he was
doing a card trick and them naked ladies were dancing? Before then I
always thought he had a certain amount of believability. No doubt he
did all his stunts for real though.

[Jay]

Thing is, that film was clearly made by an over-eager media studies student. She just stuck all the trashiest clips in there. Also, I doubt that Blaine is responsible for stuff like the naked ladies thing. It&#39;s always publicists and agents which organise junk like that.

*aimed at Jay&#39;s post*
You hate everything. ;)

[Jay]

almost everything

[DanielW]

i saw a show where they took all his street magic tricks and showed how they&#39;re done.

[Zach]

Too bad he didn&#39;t freeze in that fucking ice trick

then he could bust out a hundred years later looking like Godzilla or something...

[Jet Set Willy]

Yes. Godzilla, who famously comes from a block of ice...

[Zach]

It&#39;s true
