He was also a replacement actor for G.I. Joe. (The original Destro had to pull out due to visa issues, though they eventually got cleared up in time for him to appear as Eccelston's ancestor at the beginning.)

I believe the only personwho had any fun on the set of GI Joe was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, because for him it was basically a childhood dream come true. By all accounts that was a tremendously hosed-up production. Timby fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Mar 22, 2018 |

Sydney Bottocks posted:Frankly, I'd rather hear actors talk about how much they hated working on some project that they clearly did just for the money. Nowadays everyone does the "oh I had a wonderful time on set, we were like one big family" thing, and nine times out of ten it's complete bullshit that they're basically ordered by the studio or network to spout during interviews. Yeah, hearing Brad Pitt gush about how awesome World War Z was going to be and how much faith he had in the director AFTER the re-shoots and ending re-writes... I'm praying that the Whitaker/Chibnall working relationship doesn't go the way of Eccleston/Davies, especially with the added scrutiny of the first female Doctor on top of it. Of course, I say this prayer and then I hear this voice* in my head saying "What does God need with a TARDIS?" * - for some reason the voice of God in my head is Patrick Troughton. This does not surprise me in the least.

Like, the expectation that actors are always supposed to be happy about every job they took is part of what empowers people like David O. Russell to keep doing what they do and to get away with it, to say nothing of all the #metoo stuff. I recognize that successful film actors make a lot of money for what they do, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't complain about bad working conditions, particularly when they're doing it on behalf of crew members who are paid less than them or aspiring actors new to the business.

Okay, both the Star Trek and Doctor Who threads are talking about the specifics of Eccleston leaving and making "why does God need a starship" jokes. Come on, people, I have a hard enough time keeping track as it is!

Say what you like but this loving thing terrified me as a seven-year-old. Everything about Who terrified me then but I was glued to it anyway. Never understood a drat thing about what was happening but I skipped Brownies two weeks out of three to watch it. (if you skipped three weeks in a row they kicked you out)

The writing really did take a nosedive during Colin Baker and McCoy's run. I still remember that screenie as a perfect example... the Doctor arrives someplace for some reason, something is off represented by one cheesy special effect, the Doctor fixes it, all better.

Counterpoint: there's a lot of really good stuff in McCoy's run (less so Colin's)

I've always said that the First Rule of Doctor Who Fandom means that every opinion has to be held by somebody, no matter how incomprehensible, and here's the proof. I can't get my head around the concept of the Ace Era not being awesome. It just... falls out of my brain.

I actually think Five's era is more unwatchable than Seven's, although Six's definitely takes the cake.

I dislike Ace. There I said it. I guess that proves the rule because I know how much people love her. But I guess the real test is if we can find someone who loves ... Mel.

The CBakes and McCoy eras were a perfect storm of terribleness for me. Yes, all the previous Doctors had their cringeworthy stories from time to time, but it became the rule rather than the exception - Twin Dilemma and Time and the Rani (ha, my phone autocorrected that to Rank) set the tone for the rest of their tenures. The combination of unlikeable/annoying Doctors, even more irritating companions, lovely scripts, garish production and general air of either gently caress-the-world cynicism or ah-screw-it-who-cares pantomime camp made it embarrassing to watch. There, I said it, and I don't regret it.

I mean both Twin and Time and the Rani are bad, but even the second McCoy serial is a lot better, whereas, to be honest, Five's run doesn't even become tolerable until like... The Visitation.

The Visitation. It's something that became annoying with both RTD and Moffat as well, especially once the latter got fully into his "the Doctor is actually a fairytale wizard, so the whole universe runs on magicience" routine.
