The Zach Snyder cut of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is really, really dark.

charges of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree kidnapping and first-degree domestic violence assault

These charges seem wildly insufficient for BURYING SOMEONE ALIVE.

The dispatcher reassures Young that help is on the way as she stays on the line. The recording then ends when a police officer arrives. …

She managed to keep dirt off her face by wiggling around as she laid in the grave for hours. After tearing off the duct tape, she ran for about 30 minutes until she found a house to plead for help.

So I’m unclear on whether the 911 call played any role at all in her escape? Seems like the cop went to her house but that’s not where she was anymore, right? I’m sure it will be helpful for prosecution though.

So happy she got out alive, many don’t.

This would be a good reason to buy the version with its own cellular access as opposed to the one that needs BT access to your iPhone.

I wonder if this’ll make it to Apple survival stories ad.

I would slap torture on top of that because burying someone alive is a whole other level of cruelty. Glad she survived but i can’t imagine the trauma she’s going to have to manage and overcome

I didn’t want to hear it, so I didn’t post it here.

Thank you. Nobody needs to hear that except members of the judiciary doing their jobs.

These charges seem wildly insufficient

“first degree” generally means “really really bad”

in many jurisdictions, just regular premeditated murder is second degree
