I just watched "Mythbusters Revealed", their behind the scenes show. It was actually a bit disturbing to see Jamie being such a dick to Adam and to see them not being "super best buddies" as the show would have you believe. Also, Jamie is a Sociopath, no joke, dude is cold as ice.

LordOfThePants posted:I fell asleep last night during the middle of the Mythbusters James Bond special, so I caught the rest of it tonight. It was sort of underwhelming, they only did three myths - does the magnet watch really deflect a bullet, will shooting a propane cylinder blow it up, and can they recreate the jump from Live and Let Die. I'm pretty sure they went to Nevada to do the minigum thing. No way would such a conservative* network air them blatantly breaking the law. *they blur every logo possible, always get permits and insurance etc etc. I don't think they explained this though, why was the bullet tumbling? Was it the magnets or did it hit something before it passed over the magnets. If it was tumbling solely because of the magnets, they forgot to explain something very-to me anyway-amazing. I hope part 2 is a little more interesting. Also, I just watched the Smash Lab with the truck bed liner stuff. drat what a boring inconsequential show.

Electric Hobo posted:They used custom made steel bullets. One of them made a passing comment about them using steel bullets, but the footage of them actually making the bullets got cut out apparently. Woah, cool. They should not have cut that bit out. I finally watched the concrete arrestor bed Smash Lab and wow is that show intellectually bankrupt. Their tests are stupid and have no justification. What did they think smashing a car into the barrier would do? How could you think that a car with that velocity behind it could be stopped in such a short space without ridiculous G force/destruction of the car. Also the last test at the airstrip their was no reason to run a bus through. God drat.

Just an aside, holy lol am I getting creepy internet person vibes from the "webmistress/administrator" of the mythbusters fan club site.

I always figured that practically everyone there was a goons.jpg superstar that either drools over Kari or debates to death the "science" of the show (NUH UH YOU CAN NOT/CAN SO DO [myth] THIS WAS WRONG). My favorite thread is where someone asks where is the website to order dead pig carcasses. Edit- found it: http://forum.mythbustersfanclub.com/index.php/topic,10949.0.html WHY????!!

anotherone posted:Comcast OnDemand has a series of short videos with Jamie giving a tour of M5. It's kind of interesting just to see the areas of the workshop without all of the TV lighting. The room they introduce the myths in now is a set, but on the older episodes they used Jamie's office. There's also a lot of areas of the office you never see, there's a whole upstairs which is pretty cool. Every single corner of the building is full of artifacts from SFX jobs and stuff from the show. After watching one of the earlier Mythbusters "Behind the Scenes" episodes I came to the conclusion that Jamie was a sociopath. He really seems to dislike the coworker-interaction they were filming, it was kinda sad. However in newer episodes and BtS stuff he seemed more normal. Until this thing though.
