I think I was pretty out of it when I watched it, I don't remember either of those scenes. In fact I didn't even know Sean Bean was in it.
Thing is, I thought the overall concept (whatever it was, I forget) didn't quite make sense somehow and I think all through the film that idea was just lurking at the back of my mind making everything I saw slightly unsatisfactory, even the cool bits.
My friend did some of the fx on it though which is pretty cool I think.

I think it’s his best movie, maybe rivaled by estaern promises.
Watched Infinity Pool tonight, I liked it, it reminded me of weird Tunisian resorts
Once many years ago we were sat on an African resort beach in the baking heat and a young lad in a leather jacket tried to sell us a turtle that he pulled from his inside pocket. Later that night we watched a Turkish woman do depressing karaoke in the blue basement bar

I think I have wrote about Tunisia before but it was sandwiched between the two terrorist incidents and to arrive at the resort you had to pass through several armed checkpoints and then stop at various family resorts (we were on a package holiday) before getting to our own adults only gaff

A bit like the American school system really

He was supposed to be turning Ballard's Super-Cannes into a TV show at one point, seems like any ideas from that probably went into Infinity Pool instead. The resort set up's surely too similar for him to bother doing both.

I remember thinking Infinity Pool reminded me a lot of White Lotus... at first... also there was something else I watched lately in that same vein of conspicuous luxury at the expense of the locals type thing that again went in a different direction, I wonder what that was.
Either way that premise seems like a big thing at the moment, something in the zeitgesit or whatever.
It was a great holiday to be honest, some of the best fish I've ever eaten
