Interesting line of discussion on Guy Waterman. Funny that I didn't think of him until a little while after my original post. Given the premise that we all have to go sometime, succumbing to a relatively peaceful death while in a mountain setting doesn't seem like an objectionable way to go to me. Would be a fitting way to go on many levels.
It's also interesting how certain scenes and quotes from movies stay with you. Twenty years after the fact, I can still remember watching the final scene in Legends of the Fall when the main character gets mauled by a bear with the final line of the movie being "It was a good death." Seemed cool to me at the time as I sat there all comfy in my theatre seat with my bucket of popcorn. But really, no thanks on that one. Final moments would be filled with terror and pain while watching yourself get ripped apart. One star out of five.
