Looks amazing. Lave gives me the creeps.

Harry Glicken was a grad student when I was an undergrad at Santa Barbara. He gave a lecture about the Mt. St. Helena eruption at the he weekly journal club. He was a slight nebbish of a man. Woody Allen like. His outward appearance was a disguise for a wild man with Pelotas to spare.

The problem with the clip is the narrator needs to be Werner Herzog.

I do want to see this. I'm thinking my wife and I live a parallel life. Only ours is done seeking out gelato shops.

No way would I see any calamity movie (never had either) we are too often on the verge of something big in daily life.

"The greatest lava-fueled love story ever told"?

There are more "lava-fueled" love stories?

This feels like an invitation to fall into a google hole and never climb out.

Rabel said...

The narrator seems to be in pain.

Denever said...

Werner Herzog apparently got there first with The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft.

do NOT go there! Many don't seem to be about Love, per se; but more about simple sexual attraction
gilbar wasn't Even aware that there Was a Tahitian Porn genre

The vocal fry on the narrator's voice is brutal. Future generations will look back and ask what the fuck.

That reminds me of Norm’s moth joke.

If you have a volcano mounted in the first act someone must be horribly burnt in the third act.

Hopefully their work is about predicting eruptions, not chasing a thrill.
I live in the Philippines, and we have Mt Pinatubo not that far away. Then there is the Mayon volcano, etc. and I can see an extinct volcano out of my window... One of the dangers of living here.
And to make things worse, my sin lives near the Galeras volcano in Colombia, which killed some scientists about 30 years ago.
