This. If your first reaction to "a bunch of people are sexmonsters" is "well not all sexmonsters are created equal," you're at best condoning lesser sex crimes and at worst terrified that you're going to be found out for grabbing rear end or covering up for your best friend's rapist brother and his buddy Joaquin.

If you don't believe that a guy jerking off in front of consenting adults is the same as actual rapists you are probably a rapist or covering for one.

The effects industry was pretty hardcore back then.

And by “hardcore” I really mean “suicidal”.

Back then? Careless effects work is what killed Brandon Lee, stunt workers were killed on the sets of both Deadpool 2 and John Wick 2, a camera assistant was killed on the set of that Gregg Allman biopic because the production failed to secure permission to shoot on the railroad...

For all we complain about the death of practical effects in modern movie making, I can't help but think poo poo like this is at least part of why so much stuff is done on greenscreen now. Probably a lot safer and cheaper for everyone involved.

Didn’t Michael Bay nearly get killed due to one of his explosions propelling a pole at high speeds inches from his head? I think it was on the set of The Island.

If we go into Hollywood myth&rumors, then, in Trader Horn, a 1931 MGM film whose achievement is spreading the myth of the elephants graveyard to the whole world, many of the crew, including the director, contracted malaria. An African crewman fell into a river and was eaten by a crocodile. There is a scene where the main actor cross a river swinging on a rope. The crocs trying to grab his legs on screen and to eat him? They were real. A second African crewman was killed by a charging rhino. The rhino was captured on film and the scene was used in the final form of the film. Swarms of insects, including locusts and the-tse flies, were common and female lead Edwina Booth became infected, probably with malaria or schistosomiasis, during filming. It took six years for her to fully recover from this and other conditions she endured. She retired from acting soon after and sued Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The case was settled out of court and it was one of the first big trial against a studio in Hollywood. The sound crew, sent halfway through filming, were unable to produce good quality work. This resulted in most of the dialogue sequences being reshot at MGM's studio in Culver City, California. This caused rumours that the entire production had been filmed there, so most of this footage was cut from the final release. Also the lions were reportedly starved to encourage vicious attacks on hyenas, monkeys and deer, all filmed of course. The lions attacks were filmed in Mexico to dodge american anti-animal-cruelty laws. :hollywood: Trader Horn was a success, made 1 million dollars (1931) and secured an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.

On a smaller scale, Audrey Hepburn contracted a permanent eye infection on the set of Summertime when David Lean made her do multiple takes of a scene when she falls in one of Venice's canals. Venice's notoriously sewage-filled canals. "Hey, I poured a barrel of foaming disinfectant in there, what more do you want?"

Hmm. Hepburn didn't want to do the scene at all, wanting to use a stunt double, but Lean insisted. Would he have done the same if a male lead had told him to gently caress off and jump into the Venetian poo poo himself?

quote:

Michael Bay claims that during filming of the freeway chase, “I almost lost my life”. There was a pole attached to one of the jet bike props, and apparently this pole flew past his head at 40 MPH. He describes how this same pole destroyed a $600,000 camera, and there’s actually footage of the camera getting smashed in the “making of” featurette, so I have a feeling he’s not kidding.

Anyone mention Roar yet? Melanie Griffith got mauled on set and needed massive surgery, and a bunch of other people on set suffered similar experiences.

Also, does Mark Hamill get a pass for only attempting to force a woman into getting his (40 year old) son's abortion, instead of actually succeeding in it?

Really though, the heat is actually quite tolerable until it starts to get humid. Then you need a fan if you're going to be sleeping in a tent.

He probably gets a pass because the emails were coming from his wife, not directly from him. If people were reading those same words but imagining that Mark Hamill himself wrote them, it's probably get more attention. Still a hosed up situation though.

No I just mean literally every story about this is just reporting on a handful of vague twitter posts calling him names. I’ve not seen any specific accusations whatsoever. If I’m supposed to jump on the bandwagon and publicly shame someone I’d at least like to know what they’re accused and implicitly guilty of doing.
