I guess I was a little off the mark lol

The world's deepest cave system only extends about a mile downwards. The Taratoga gold mines of South Africa could take you close to the 2-mile mark, but your best bet is to start tunnelling from the Mariana Trench. This is the deepest ocean trench, plunging 7 miles (11km) down under the Pacific Ocean.

Yeps, GHoST..lol

It went a little "Blue Peter" in the end, though..I'm not a great fan of supposition in these matters, and when he got 'into the Earth boring craft' at the end, I kinda lost interest. lol..even with the 'sweat' on his brow, to indicate how hot it was..ffs..we're talking about temperatures that are akin to the Sun's surface.
Other than that, though, it was cool to see a representation of how insignificantly we have explored our own planet.

Funnily enough, I turned it off when it got to the 'Earth boring craft' or whatever it was called, too.. only because Stephen King's The Dead Zone was on the other channel... Man, I hate when books get turned into movies or tv shows, and the show doesnt do the book justice.. i mean, Stephen King has written about 50 bestselling books or something, and i guess at least 30 of them have been turned into films or series', but most of them suck lol ah well, im gonna get off my tandem now

[RESiNATE]

Oh so true, GHoST..books into films dont go!

Like, someone once asked me whether they should read LOTR before goingto see the film.
I recommended that they read the books first, becuase otherwise, you tend to adopt the director's interpretation, which isn't always as good or just as the interpretation that the reader gains.

I dunno whether they followed my advice.

There are sooo many examples of directors' misinterpretation, it's unbelievable!
The Client
Star Wars:Episode 1
LOTR
All the James Bond novels
Bill and Ben

yeah!!! I mean, alot of John Grisham novels have been turned into films.. and ive read nearly all of his books and none of the movies are anywhere near as good.. except, to be honest, The Runaway Jury movie was quite good, and did the book lot of justice..

I gues the problem is, it takes hours, days, even weeks to read a book for some people, but a movie is only a couple of hours long.. in books you get back story, more character development etc etc, so it makes the story seem more realistic.. whereas movies are over in 2 hours, you get no back story, so you dont know anythin about the ppl youre watching.. characters seem more flat and unlifelike, because how much character development can you fit into two hours!?!? lol

dammit dammit dammit

**gets off his tandem for a second time**

maybe i shouldnt smoke anymore for a while lol

so far the Rainmaker is the only book turned movie that I have liked better as a movie. All the others are just so weak compared to their literary counterparts.

and hey, I thought some diamond mine in africa was the deepest yet... oh well. Anyone ever been to the Moaning Caverns here in california? Pretty cool place.

[RESiNATE]

Moaning Caverns?...

You been talking to my ex-wife, Bro?
