I know they can dictate how an actor looks (like hairstyles, for example), but I don't think they can go that far. I seem to recall the stars of Mike & Molly having lost weight and had to wear padded costumes. Lecy Goranson (Becky from Roseanne) wanted to cut her hair and the producers said no. She complained to Roseanne who then took a pair of scissors and hacked off all of her hair and told the producers to deal with it.

Roseanne Barr is pretty nuts and I'd hate to be on her bad side but she's also totally badass. gently caress the system, show those producers you mean business, hail Satan erreyday.

I believe Jaleel White has stated he was pressured by producers to remain scrawny for Urkel. As in he wasn't allowed to work out at all since Urkel couldn't have any muscle tone.

The best weight-related thing will always be Mac getting fat for season 8 of Always Sunny for no reason other than that he thought it would be really funny.

Roscoe Arbuckle supposedly had to stay at a certain weight at Keystone. After his trial, though, he lost something like 100 pounds.

I see now that Revenant moved from Christmas day to January 8th, but... Where the hell is Hateful 8? It was slated for Christmas Day, but now it's not only not in theaters, but it's not listed as an upcoming movie on google, yahoo, fandango, or movietickets.com

While not contractual obligation, Wayne Knight has said that he consulted with a doctor for a way to try and keep himself healthy while still being overweight because he couldn't get any work skinny.

Depending on mood I waffle between Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction being better, but the shear audaciousness of Pulp Fiction usually gives it an edge.

I just rewatched PF a few days ago and yeah it's totally bonkers that stuff was in a major release: the OD scene, the gimp dungeon, the car cleaning, etc. And with major actors, trusting a relatively inexperienced director.

After Reservoir Dogs I can certainly see actors being willing to jump into Pulp Fiction to see what the new director was made of. How Tarantino got the people he did for Reservoir Dogs is another thing. Although yes Jackie Brown is better than both, the points go to Bloody Hedgehog

It would really take a lot for me to hate or even dislike a Tarantino movie. He just loves film so much and it oozes through his work, not to mention he has yet to make a bad movie, IMO, and I can't really say that about any other director who has been making movies as long as him.

For my money Django is his best work, although I've liked pretty much everything hes done to a greater (pulp fiction, kill bill pt1) or lesser (inglorious basterds, kill bill pt2, jackie brown) extent. Honestly, I didnt know that "Django is a step down" was a widely held belief.

Criminal Minded posted:I think Inglourious Basterds is not only his best film but one of the best films ever and essentially perfect. I mean I guess all appropriate props to a director for surrounding himself with the right talent. And I'm not saying that dismissively---I think it totally `counts' and is one of the things that makes a good director a good director. But when I think about the things I like about Inglourious Basterds (2009) the first thing I think of is the photography, followed by the performances of all of the principles and most of the supporting cast. And Tarantino is good about getting loving slam-dunk performances out of his cast, and at casting actors who aren't necessarily considered top-shelf at when they appear in his films. But at the same time if I list all of the things that I like least about the film, all of those are the quintessentially Tarantino parts---the uneven tone, the length, the incessant re-use of poo poo I already know from other films, and so on. Tarantino's right up there with M. Night Shyamalan as a director whose technical proficiency I much admire but who never seems to produce films equal to their apparent promise as a filmmaker.

It's been an ongoing side topic on Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode's radio show for a couple months. The technical name the show has coined for it is Altitude Adjusted Lachrymosity Syndrome. It seems like a lot of people have noticed it. I want to say Doug Benson has talked about it on one of his podcasts as well.
