One of the props in Edward James Olmos's cabin was an antique ship in a bottle. In one scene he improvised smashing it to pieces in a fit of rage only to find out once the cameras stopped rolling that it was worth around 8,000 dollars. If the shot cost you that much to make you might as well use it.

It was but they animated an old Asian man who looks nothing like Schneider and then cast Schneider to do a really racist impression for the VO rather than just hire some Asian man.

Sometimes I think my mom hid me from my dad's insane racist rants too well. I remember loving the crows in Dumbo because they, and the mouse, were the only ones to be NICE to the poor elephant. Sure they joked around but they never called him names or ignored him and even helped him! So clearly they were heroes. Finding out how racist they were was a nail in the childhood coffin. Compared to the loving Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp that were clearly there to gently caress poo poo up. I think I watched the Aristocats once and never was that into it so I blanked out that lovely cat racist song.

Just watched The Revenant the other day, great movie, though I dont think Di Caprio will be winning his oscar just yet for it. My IIMM with it is the couple times they break the fourth wall by pulling the camera so close to his face that his breath would fog up the lens. It was completely unnecessary and just dragged my immersion away instantly the few times they did it.

By why even use that guitar for the movie? Why not just make a new guitar look old with a bit of prop-making magic, and not have to risk damaging a 150-year-old relic?

Who knows. Maybe the replicas were made to be more easily breakable and wouldn't sound good enough so they decided to use the real one for the take where she plays it or maybe someone just decided it would be cooler to have the real one in the movie.

There's a scene in The Revenant that, I don't know, just bugged me but i admit its irrational. When the Pawnee Indian is talking to the French and they use an interpreter, eventually the Native American gets frustrated and speaks directly to the trader, in French and the translator says "I told you he speaks French". Ignoring that why did the Native American still use the interpreter if he understood (I figured he knew French just not confident enough to do a business transaction) the subtitle actually says "In French" when the native American speaks it. I felt that was an unneeded detail because you could just show it by having the trader have a shocked look on his face and then the translator going "I told you he speaks French"

The only thing that marks it as set in 99 is a couple of references to Y2K, which has nothing to do with the plot.

Parks and Rec has a lot of lines and even episodes about how fat the people and children of Pawnee are, but whenever there is a big town event, all the attendants are remarkably trim. Gotta fatten up your actors, buddy. Breaking my immersion.

See, the real fat people are too fat to get out to the town meetings, which is why we don't see them. Either that, or they got distracted by Paunch Burger and didn't make it.

150-year-old guitars aren't likely to be priceless. And, indeed, the Martin people admit they got the insurance money. "Irreplaceable" and "priceless" are not the same thing in the museum world.

Sleeveless posted:It was an accident. This is all actually totally wrong. What happened is Quentin Tarantino talked to the Martin Guitar Museum and got them to loan him an antique guitar for filming in the movie. They agreed. They had the antique guitar on set for filming, and then they had 6 replica guitars on set for a smashing scene. At the last moment before filming, Tarantino decided to use the museum piece instead of the replica for the smashing scene, because Tarantino is loving full of himself and decided it wouldn't be as authentic to his film. So he told Kurt Russell to go ahead and smash the one they were using in the previous scene without swapping, which got the other actors' on stage to react realistically, surprised that the scene didn't cut to swap guitars. Then, and this is key, Tarantino told the Martin museum that during filming a light fixture fell on the guitar and broke it, and they said "ah, okay, poo poo happens, we knew there were risks when we agreed to this." But then rumor got out to the Martin museum that Tarantino had done it on purpose and not on accident, and they issued a new press statement saying they felt deceived and would no longer loan out museum pieces for use in movies. So Tarantino acting like a baby ruined it for all other filmmakers. And also needlessly destroyed a museum piece. If the facts were a little different I might say whatever, but considering that's how it actually went down, I gotta side with the Martin museum and say that Tarantino was a huge dick here.

Zaphod42 posted:http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/kurt-russell-obliterated-a-priceless-antique-while-filming-the-hateful-eight OK, let me just say I think QT is probably a gigantic pervy creepy nerd and total piece of poo poo, and I have no interest in defending him. But your link doesn't support your claim at all. The one relevant paragraph says quote:Apparently, though, everyone else on set had gotten the memo. “Everyone was pretty freaked out” when Kurt shattered the antique, says Ulano, and “when you see that happen on the frame, Jennifer’s [horrified] reaction is genuine.” The only person who wasn’t horrified? Tarantino, of course. Tarantino lives for this. “Tarantino was in a corner of the room with a funny curl on his lips, because he got something out of it with the performance.” Which is written almost deliberately to blur the lines between the author of the piece and the source of the quote (Ulano). And then even so, the only inculpatory part of the statement is "...[QT] got something out of the performance". Which could just mean that he caught a glimpse of Bruce Dern's feet and came in his pants or something. And I've never seen QT without a "funny curl on his lips", because he looks like a low-quality waxwork of Vegas-era Elvis. Basically, I don't see anything in that link, or the articles linked therein, which says what you say. Really, I don't give too much of a poo poo, but I'm just not sure if I'm missing something WeAreTheRomans has a new favorite as of 19:09 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Yeah you're missing somethingquote:Though Ulano characterizes the Martin Museum’s response as somewhat unsurprised and unperturbed (“Do you need another one and can we please have all the pieces to display in our museum?”), a new interview with museum director Boak in Reverb magazine paints a darker portrait. “We were informed that it was an accident on set,” Boak tells Reverb. “We assumed that a scaffolding or something fell on it.” Poor, sweet Dick Boak. He never saw it coming. I mean you could assume Dick Boak is just mistaken or full of poo poo or lying or something but he clearly believes there was some foul play.

Not sure why it's so hard to believe. "it was an accident, whoops" seems less plausible than "did it for authenticity" in this case. This is QT we're talking about.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah you're missing something I'm still not seeing it, honestly. The bit you bolded doesn't say anything about QT being responsible for anything. It just seems like Boak is saying he didn't know anything about the circumstances of the smashing, until he was informed that "smashing a guitar" was in the shooting script, and it wasn't just an accident unrelated to the script (like a light falling on it). This is hurting my brain now. I'm starting to suspect you have an agenda when it comes to this, I'm just trying to apply logic. Son of Thunderbeast posted:Not sure why it's so hard to believe.

It's at least slightly less horrible if he did it for the actor reactions and they are in the film vs just for "I want to film breaking a real antique". Having not yet seen the film, do they have those reactions? Should the characters have them? It wouldn't have been an antique to the characters after all...
