The whole phenomena of "alt <agency>" was one of the most profoundly cringe things about the early Trump years and now that I think about it, it is about time for the ones who didn't quietly retire them to start churning out some supremely lovely and psychotic takes in complete opposition to the "principled stands" they proudly took when the guy on top was orange and crude

I thought they already used that one for child labour.

Or at least they did something real close to it when I was taught that children working in Nike factories is Good, Actually, in my university Business Ethics course.

"bitches leave"

note that neither Veorhoven or his director of photography knew that bitches was a pejorative so the two of them, when discussing the scene and the shots, would be like “okay so Kurt comes in, ‘bitches leave’, and then the bitches, you leave - hmm, should the bitches leave when he says ‘bitches leave’, or should they say something and then leave? … no, it should be ‘bitches leave’, and then they go, so when you hear ‘bitches leave’, bitches, you leave.”

meanwhile Kurtwood Smith and Miguel Ferrer are laughing their loving asses off on the couch and the “bitches” are just like “okay got it” because they probably figured out these two guys with thick accents (Veorhoven being Dutch and his DP, Jost Vacano, being German, his first American movie having been only a year before) and shaky English have no idea what “bitches” actually means and weren’t taking offense.

There's an argument to be made that it's like the idea "there's no such thing as an anti-war film."

If it's about a cop, it's copaganda. poo poo, cops love Vic Mackey.

Jan 20, 2005


the production of Robocop sounds like it was a blast for everyone but Peter Weller, who the first time he got in the suit and realized he could barely move at all, had a debilitating panic attack and almost quit the movie. Veorhoven had to talk him down from that ledge and told him they’d work him up to longer days in the suit as he got accustomed to it, which they, in fact, did.

Like, he describes the first time being in it feeling like it was a skin-tight casket, so I get suddenly being like “I’m going to die if I stay in this thing”. And it wasn’t a light suit, either! it was like 90 pounds or something crazy like that because actual lighter materials would come off plasticky and clearly fake on film.

and somehow in the end he kept the suit at the end of production. Of course, it was basically made only for him to fit inside so why not loving let him have it as a wrap gift, I guess.

then after he declined returning for Robocop 3 and the production found someone else who would fit just about right in the suit, he let them borrow it on the grounds that they didn’t alter it. Guy they put in the suit turned out to be a few inches shorter than Weller, so they cut the shins of the suit to make it fit. As you can imagine, Weller was pissed.
