Maybe they couldn't get reception on the mountain even if they brought it.<br /><br />Banned - Heya! Yeah, a lot of it was nonsense to me since I don't ski, so maybe it did make some sense. But I have been out in the cold and not keeping their faces covered or huddling together for warmth didn't make any sense at all. And I think she dropped the glove when she was having a smoke. Before the wolves showed up. Either way, you're right. I think she would have kept that hand securely in her pocket.Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-69380560062032467052011-02-23T21:10:28.055-05:002011-02-23T21:10:28.055-05:00I love the way some people are saying “that doesn’...I love the way some people are saying “that doesn’t make sense” before adding “but I’ve never been skiing”.<br /><br />Re: mobile phones - Phone reception is notoriously bad at a lot of ski fields. Not horror-movie-contrivance bad, but genuinely-real-life bad. Even if reception was OK, all skiers crash, so having your mobile in your pocket seems like a really good way to destroy it. So why run the risk? I mean, what are you going to do with it on a ski slope? You can’t use it while you’re skiing. If you try to use it on the lift you could drop it. It really doesn’t make much sense to take a mobile phone onto a ski slope, so it wasn’t a stretch that the trio in <i>Frozen</i> didn’t have one.<br /><br />Re: taking your clothes off and making a rope to climb down – if you’ve ever been skiing you’d know there are two obvious problems with this approach: it’s way too high and it’s way too cold. I would actually try waiting it out before attempting that shit.<br /><br />The biggest, credibility-stretching moment in the film is actually when Parker throws her glove at the wolves and then proceeds to nod off with her hand on the railing. <i>That</i> wouldn’t happen. Only an idiot would throw their glove away (although it is established that Parker is a newbie), and if you did lose a glove you sure as hell wouldn’t be resting your bare hand on a rail.Banned In Queenslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879785662764733057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-44788799931274766732011-02-23T18:30:37.932-05:002011-02-23T18:30:37.932-05:00I would want my cell phone and certainly I'd w...I would want my cell phone and certainly I'd want gloves.
