It Was Thrilling?

I saw Deliverance for the first time this weekend. I would have been slightly thrilled if the guys weren't so fucking stupid. These are my main beefs:

1. Never approach a mountain man with a shot gun. That's just stupid.
2. Never mention a still to a mountain man with a shotgun and no teeth. That's just stupid.
3. Don't call the police about a body you killed in the mountain, and don't even touch it. Decomposed bodies are found all the time in the woods and nobody ever get caught. Ever. I'm sure lots of bodies never get found. Just throw some leaves and sticks on it. Anything else is just stupid.
4. If a shotgun goes off, you'd damn well hear it. There would have been no question about it. It also would have blown a hole the size of Montana in somebody. To think otherwise is just stupid.
5. Never try to stand up in river rapids. Your foot will get caught in something and the current will push your head down. Either that or you will break something. Standing up is just stupid.
6. Climbing a wet cliff straight up without equipment is just stupid.
7. Pulling an arrow out of you is just stupid. You should break it off at both ends and leave it in.
8. To the producer/writer/director, having that movie drag on forever was just stupid.

I cannot believe that made the top 100 thrillers. It was just stupid.
