ultrabindu posted:Yeah, he was. The other cast members used to goof of a lot and he was trying to be the serious actor. Yeah, the first year was basically a disconnect in expectations between what he was used to and how american television was run. Once he got used to things after the first season he was probably the biggest advocate of his co-stars and he starts showing up in the blooper reels along with everyone else.

Once he got used to things after the first season he was probably the biggest advocate of his co-stars and he starts showing up in the blooper reels along with everyone else. The odd thing to me about that is Stewart was a stage actor primarily, so I don't know why cheap barebones sets would be an issue for him. And he'd also been in science fiction before by that point, so this hesitation he had to be in a sci-fi t.v. show seems weird. My guess is that it was primarily about the culture clash between how productions in the two countries are run, just like you said. I know Cameron had a hell of a time with it when he shot Aliens at Pinewood Studios, all the behind the scenes guys were British and the culture shock between the two sides was pretty extreme and caused a bunch of problems(of course Cameron isn't known for being flexible himself).

Americans tend to be find with shooting for ridiculous hours and working people to death, whereas the unions in the UK have set it up so there's many more required breaks and they do poo poo like have tea breaks which pissed off Cameron to no end. I have no idea what Stewart's specific issue was though, probably just him coming from a serious theatre background and then the actors he was working with on TNG were very amateurish by comparison. But the production value of the show shouldn't have been an issue for him because of that theatre experience. Who knows.

Basebf555 posted:Good luck enjoying any sort of media if "kind of an rear end in a top hat" is a deal breaker for you. Remember that these are people, by their nature, that enjoy the spotlight and have made a living out of getting attention from other people. Would it really be shocking to find out that the majority of them have engaged in rear end in a top hat behavior from time to time? Yeah, no. Wahlberg stopped his bad behaviour and recognized (it appears) the error of his ways. I am not seeing that with Spacey or Weinstein.

Cythereal posted:Dig into the history of the Star Trek movies and you get a less rosy picture. Stewart's the British version of a redneck, more or less - likes fast cars (he's how we got the infamous opening scene of Nemesis), wants to be an action star, loves guns, etc. If you don't love Patrick Stewart fostering a dog, then I don't know what to tell you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up-pEjjw9xs

Lol at that goon giving Patrick Stewart grief about wanting to do action stuff and liking cars. What a Chad! One of my favorite things about him is that his entire adult life he thought he was circumcised until his wife and Doctor told him he wasn't.

Those movies became worse because they tried to become action stars. With JJTrek the action was fine because that's how the movies were always designed to be. With Patrick Stewart and the other lumpy actors it was painfully shoehorned in. My favorite Patrick Stewart thing is that he was initially embarrassed about coming to America to do some lovely scifi show. But a year later all his British theater friends were begging him to get them a job on TV.

The actors' contracts ended after Insurrection, so the producers basically had to bribe them to get them to come back. Additionally, the director famously refused to watch a single episode of TNG, so he had no idea who the characters were or how they were supposed to act.

There's gotta be an issue with isolation and not getting out of the house much too. Because if you just go out and like hit the grocery store or a Target or a Walmart, you'll see plenty of non-Chads walking around with women. So this idea that even the average looking women refuse to date or have sex with a non-Chad(I loving hate that I'm even using that term) is easily proven false by just going about normal daily activity.

Canthal tilt, etc. aren't just eugenic terms. They're useful for plastic surgery and artists! Using them to determine anything but how someone looks? That's the eugenics bullshit.

You sweet summer child, you haven't visited the ol' hellthread. Incels believe that sex is an economic commodity that women have 100% monopolistic control over (because of feminism), and that "normies" (the below-average to average people with girlfriends at walmart) are inherently cucked, and therefore are being stolen from, because their women have hosed other people in the past, and are definitely loving Chad on the side right now. They don't want the woman at walmart who will settle for a regular person. They want a pristine teenage virgin who will give 100% of her available sex to her first boyfriend who she also marries first.
