Lol, I didn’t even read the part where he is (was?) diabetic, holy poo poo yeah that dude needs regular food and naps working for up to thirteen hours a day. Walking off set is also a perfectly reasonable thing to do after a head injury from spfx too. That poo poo is supposed to be totally locked down and idiot-proof. It’s extremely not good to come that close to a facial scar when so much of your work depends on your face.

Crawford sounds like a total loving psychopath and it’s obvious someone in his camp leaked Wayans’ (pretty reasonable, esp with the diabetes thing) rider to Variety to make him look bad. It’s very very rare for an AD to walk off set and even wilder that he’d say poo poo like that to Wayans’ face and for the two dozen crew listening to the scene to hear. That’s a total piece of poo poo move from an up-and-coming actor to a very established one and it’s no wonder why Wayans was frustrated every day.

It's almost as bad as when David O'Russell was screaming at Lily Tomlin

I love how Tomlin isn't really intimidated. She's been through this bullshit before.

Booooooo. What are even the standards for renewal/cancelation for a network that doesn't appear to have any other shows (you know what I mean, fictional narratives and not reality tv or talk shows)?

Mind you, I'm not really sure what the natural end for this story is. Like, taking these characters through season after season is sorta depressing. I'm an episode behind but so far I think they've done a really good job in the second season showing that no matter how much joy they may get from this life its doing more damage both on their lives and just on their own selves. I hope they finish the season in some kind of good resolution for them. They did last season so I'm hopeful.

Actually Clooney did punch O Russell for bullying an extra. Though it was clearly the last in a string of incidents since O Russell is a bullying piece of poo poo.

Behind the scenes talk about what went down on the set of Lethal Weapon.

Wait, they had PINKERTONS on set for security?

I feel like I missed a huge part of American history here.

Also, holy crap, this Lethal Weapon stuff basically comes down to the fired guy directing an episode/scene that had an explosion that hosed up and put a piece of shrapnel in Damon Wayans' head? I feel like if that had just been a regular director and not a costar we would have just had universal calls for firing/lawsuits. Either way I feel like Hollywood gossip really buried the lead on this "He was fired for being an rear end in a top hat" story.

Wouldn't something like that be more under the purview of the stunt coordinator?

Well the Director's job is to oversee the rest of the crew so if like the editor fucks up something you'd still blame the director if he didn't catch it in the final cut. And unless the explosion itself hosed up hugely it can theoretically be a problem of blocking or actor direction or something. I don't know. But if an explosion takes a piece out of an actor and that actor blames his two year co-star directing and not the stunt guy and that costar/director takes responsibility publicly then I'll just assume it was on him somehow.

There are on-set accidents you never ever ever hear about because there’s a whole pr/risk management department of the studio to handle those things. There was a crew member who died on a very prominent show filmed in NY and there is absolutely zero press about it because it’s NDAed to hell and back. SAG is the weakest on-set union for sure, but you know that their rep was in on the meeting about compensation and punishing the people responsible (or not).

Stunt coordinator and special effects first, then the first assistant director, then the director. The director can overrule these people, however and if those other people voiced concerns about the stunt but were overruled, then someone on that first list is def at fault.

It’s either a pure accident (usually those are one-take shots and freak accidents happen), something was missed either by negligence or carelessness, or concerns were voiced and overruled by the director or 1AD or producer. Theoretically, anyone who feels something is unsafe can call a cut or a hold until it’s fixed, especially an AD or shop steward (who represents the unionized crew’s safety), so it’s hard to say who’s at fault from the limited knowledge we have.

It really doesn't sound like they had a good working relationship to begin with. So Wayans automatically blaming Crawford for anything going wrong doesn't sound too far fetched.

Agreed. Theoretically, the director is responsible for everything that happens on set, but their work is mostly working to set the shot and the lines and actions of the actors. Many directors don’t have the technical knowledge about the effects and defer to the people in charge of them (stunt coordinator, special effects department head, 1st assistant director, the propmaster and/or armorer) about where, what, and when is safe to shoot.
