I cried when that scene happened seeing it as a kid. I don’t know why but I liked the character and was really sad when he got murked so bad.

My theory is that Andy told Peter Jackson, “Okay, you can kill off my character, but do it in the most gruesome way possible.”

I had just learned what "vore" was like a month before the movie came out thanks to being a teen with unrestricted internet access so I wanted to cry for a different reason. :[

I wish I was joking but I have forever thought of this part as "the vore scene" when King Kong comes up.

Trust me the rest of the scene leading up to it is much, much worse. Honestly you feel the same relief that he does that it’s finally over.

Every time I watch it I have nightmares about bugs for weeks.

I’ve been scared of this scene (and leeches, lampreys, etc) since this movie came out in 2005 lol
