He's a good actor, but out of the like dozen characters I've heard him voice, it's never been anything other than Jon Benjamin. more than you'd think. in home movies he's very recognisable as coach mcguirk, but he also plays Jason and other bit parts where it's much less obvious. compare these two vids and you'll know what i mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qfFZfzPAOg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTNvKjbnhhw

A big reason why Hollywood has been so heavily unionised and formalised with procedures and regulations is specifically because this amateur hour poo poo can, does and has gotten people killed. Regulations are written in blood, and all. Even props that use any kind of explosive are dangerous equipment that can kill people if used incorrectly, and must be treated as such. And that's specifically what you have an armorer on set to do.

Like Archer's all screwing any hot girl who'll have him, but his mother has moments like with the bug in downing street where she completely unnecessarily is like "I modeled the breasts after my own... and may I just say they're still a dead ringer." Jessica Walter really owned that role, simply perfect.

It's such a great cast, excellent performances all around, and they're all pretty rad people in real life. Literally every character in the show is a major piece of poo poo, with basically no morals or ethics whatsoever, that's sort of the point  Pam rules pretty hard, though.

And that's specifically what you have an armorer on set to do. The sheer physical size of lights and the amount of power it takes the run them is still high, even though both have come down by an order of magnitude in the last few years. People on scaffolding or cranes are often right out of frame, doing anything from running a fan exactly the right way to manually holding a bounce board. There are camera tracks on the floor and they’re easy to trip on. You could be running 3-phase power in simulated rain. The list goes on and on. It really bothers be that what, a decade after “Safety for Sarah” Baldwin, who has done a LOT of Union productions got involved in this kind of half-assed non-union production. I can’t imagine he needed the money that bad. I know nothing about how the unions work, but why doesn’t SAG-AFTRA or DGA discourage members working on sets without trade unions?

It also gives me more respect for Steven Spielberg because he stated he would never work with or even talk to Landis ever again and forty years later he’s stuck to that. Landis got away with murder but at least he was denied a lucrative partnership with Spielberg for the last few decades.

Intrigued by what I've read in this thread, I've been watching TSCC and wow, this feels like it would be a great show if it had come out maybe fifteen years later. This came out I think before 24? Before shows started having progressively developing plots. But everything about this kind of sucks. All the CG is dated extremely badly, all the violence is held back, it's got way too much of that mouthbreather-girl look that was for some reason super attractive for a while, and a lot of the actors they use have the charisma of a potato. And just the general bad parts of Terminator -- like instead of killing their target they throw them around a bit, and also terminators are weirdly bad shots. But it would be hard to make a Terminator movie starting out in modern times. Having to use a phonebook or break into school records to even find John Connor is a big part of the hunt and all that is made pretty redundant by today's technology and social media. credburn has a new favorite as of 21:09 on Mar 26, 2023 |

I mean, wasn't Dark Fate like within the last 5 years? Don't people mostly consider that one the true 3rd film?

I wonder how many pitches they have to sit through of people proposing to 'fix' the continuity and explain everything like who the first John Connor's father was. Unless it was just Reese going back in time to stop something else and coincidentally banging Sarah Connor.

Beachcomber posted:I wonder how many pitches they have to sit through of people proposing to 'fix' the continuity and explain everything like who the first John Connor's father was. It was either Stan Morsky (the guy who stood Sarah up) or a random hookup that she met in Tech Noir after he stood her up. Not hard to handwave. Anyway, the point of the first movie is that time is cyclic. The events of Terminator lead to both the birth of John and the creation of Skynet: there was a scene in the script where we see what Dyson hints at in the sequel about Cyberdyne's founders taking the arm and chip.

I think I said, the point that a lot of people miss- hell, Dark Fate outright rubs it in your face- as long as the conditions to create Skynet or something like it exist, things will play out more or less the same way. The Terminators and everything else Skynet uses are shown to be explicitly refinements of what already exists in the past. Both Skynet and the Resistance are myopic about that, but to be fair they're just working with what they know, and the Resistance is specifically sending agents to counter Skynet.

It could be a Dark situation too, where The creation of time travel creates a looping, branching, series of alternate timeline-universes that proceed generally within similar patterns to each other, but wildly differently than the mainline timeline would've gone. -- major spoiler for the overall arc and last season of Dark. edit: Apparently the title isn't in all caps.
