Nightwing in Justice League Unlimited, which apparently had stupid restrictions as to who could appear where and in what shows.

I just saw that on the Honest Trailers episode on Madame Web and holy poo poo.


When the really good Justice League Unlimited show was going on, there was this weird mandate that certain characters could not be used for reasons. They could talk about Plastic Man, but you couldn't show him. Black Manta had to be redesigned as "Devil Ray." But the big thing was that they could not use Batman-adjacent characters outside of Batman himself and maybe the Joker because The Batman was on TV at the time.

So that quick silhouette of Nightwing was the closest thing they could do to have him appear on JLU.

Genuinely, what is the reason for not having her drink/fake drink from the cans? Once you see it, it dominates every scene.

In general it's easier to not show people eating and drinking on screen because if you have to do multiple takes the actors end up eating / drinking a ton and you have to worry about re-filling, getting them new cans, maybe even continuity with the amount of food left and all.

If they never actually drink and just kinda fiddle with it, you can cut around with editting and make it seem like they did and people won't notice. In theory.

This is it. Rian Johnson has an anecdote about Chris Evans getting sick because there’s a scene in Knives Out where he eats an especially buttery and rich kind of cookie that they had to do a few takes of and it just ruined his esophagus.

There's the famous story of Charlie Chaplin eating the boot in The Gold Rush. The boot was made of licorice and he did over 60 takes across a couple days. Ended up in the hospital for insulin shock.

Yeah. With the nature of filmmaking, anything food/drink related is obnoxious for both the actors and the prop people.

The problem is once someone tells you that cups in movies and TV shows are almost always empty, you start to notice how often actors carry cups like they’re empty when in the reality of the show they’re supposed to be full.

are the same thing!

Know a guy who worked as Script/Continuity Supervisor on a film set entirely during a dinner party and apparently keeping track of half a dozen drinks and plates in every single shot was an unimaginable horror.

Can't they just put a weight in the bottom of the prop cup so it at least has some weight to it?
it would solve this:

That’s an easy fix, as long as the meal being served is soup. Simply connect all the bowls with concealed soup tubes to a simple computerized soup distribution unit under the table. Then program in every character’s soup consumption rate and the time of each shot during the scene. Then resetting the soup levels for each shot is the work of a few keystrokes, as the soup distribution unit automatically refills or drains all the soup bowls as needed.

Tell your friend to work smarter, not harder.

Spotted something fun, in the final shot where they're standing against a New York backdrop they've clearly repurposed something filmed in the Ezekiel's apartment set with that underlit wood.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
