One of the few musicals I enjoy watching. For nostalgic purposes I like to watch it around Easter time the most, as it’s a tradition I grew up with 😌 Was fascinated by the bright colors of Oz, and the colors of the horses towards the end of the film, when I was young. I still love seeing those colored horses to this day lol I can see why this fact is currently at #1. Coincidences exist, but this was one hell of an amazing coincidence! Fate stepped right in yet again 😄

Some bits of film trivia have become so deeply ingrained in popular culture that they start to generate their own memes. Who hasn’t watched through “The Two Towers” without hearing someone say “Did you know that Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe when he kicked the helmet?” Incidentally, this isn’t the only case of on-set injury, for example, nor the only injury sustained by Viggo, aka Aragorn (he almost drowned during the same film and also broke a tooth.)
In the first Lord of the Rings film (The Fellowship of the Ring, if you somehow aren’t familiar,) actor Sean Astin, who played fan-favorite Samwise Gamgee, stepped on a large shard of glass during the scene where he chases Frodo who is attempting to sail away. He had to be evacuated by helicopter after losing a substantial amount of blood. Orlando Bloom managed to break a rib when falling from a horse and to add insult to injury, it became an inside joke due to his constant complaining about it.

Like these stories from the filming of the Lord of the Rings, many of the fun facts in this article are the result of real stunts or practical effects. This is not to say that CGI doesn’t have a place in creating great scenes. The Lord of the Rings and, more visibly, the Matrix both used a combination of the two to achieve the scenes and visuals they wanted. The Matrix in particular was revolutionary in its use of post-production CGI, often to remove the wires the actors were attached to while flying through the air.

Interesting. They apparently have other skills though. They join the mile high club and then yeet their babies. "Mating in mid-air, males and females synchronize their wing beats to the same frequency. Eggs are deposited by flinging them onto water surfaces while hovering." Not the best parenting but they don't suck blood and they eat the larvae of other mosquitos so they get the nod from me.

I submit that that actually makes more sense, because I always wondered why Hammond would waste precious dino DNA on a bauble. Makes more sense they'd use a mosquito that DIDN'T have any lucrative DNA in it, and the mosquito in the cane was just meant to be symbolic.
Many studios do like CGI, as it entails fewer costs, less principal photography (which means actually filming things, not taking pictures of the head of a school), and fewer risks. Actors are a lot less likely to get injured, like in the aforementioned stories, if all the “action” is generated by a computer. Filming costs are still quite high, for example, even a decade ago were up to 100 '000-250' 000$ a day.

What a pity they made the film a shadow of what Freddie’s life was in reality.

It's the other guys reactions that make it, especially when they see the blood
When you factor in the length of time it takes to film, it's easy to see how these costs pile up quickly. Feature-length films can shoot for around a hundred days, with some taking even longer. “Eyes Wide Shut” was filmed for over 400 days, as director Stanley Kubrick was a notorious perfectionist. Studios also have to manage the potential risk of needing reshoots.

When the grueling job of filming is complete, it was (and still is) common to say that it’s a “wrap.” This slang goes back to the 1920s, and traditionally, the crew or at least the cast would enjoy a “wrap party” to celebrate the end of filming. Whether or not actual wraps are served is unknown. The actual etymology of “it’s a wrap” is unclear, as some sources point to it meaning “wind, reel, and print,” though these things were not actually done with pre-digital film. Instead of being printed and reeled, film would be “canned,” hence the term “it’s in the can.”

I've always said if I met Sir Anthony on the street, I'd be scared of him! Same with David Strathairn, who played the rapey, molester father in Dolores Claiborne. I know those characters weren't real. I know they were just acting. I know they're both perfectly normal, nice, even kind, men. Strathairn even plays God, in one of his movies. But I can't help it. Every time I look at him, I get the creeps, lol! And Hopkins still scares me. Lol. I guess that is, as others have said, testament to just how GOOD they played those parts, and just how good they are at what they do.

Lakota Wolf 2 years ago
It’s hard to… summarize the movie Silence of the Lambs. Let’s say that Anthony Hopkins plays a character who is a VERY bad man who is in jail. Jodie Foster plays the good guy, an FBI agent trainee who is trying to catch another bad guy serial killer who is on the loose. Anthony Hopkins’s character was also a brilliant psychiatrist, so Jodie Foster goes to him in prison and asks for his help in figuring out the other bad guy and how to catch him. Hijinks ensue. I won’t spoiler the whole movie, but let’s say that Anthony Hopkins’s portrayal as a psychotic, insane, cannibalistic serial killer is TERRIFYINGLY GOOD and no wonder Jodie Foster was scared of him on set! Anthony Hopkins tends to “become” his character when he is filming a movie, so he was probably acting like Hannibal Lecter on set (except not killing and eating people…)

Even after the editors have looked over the film, producers will still show what they have to a test audience before it goes to the public. At times, this can even lead to more reshoots. For example, Shaun of the Dead got roughly 15 seconds added to its final cut after test audiences disliked the ending for being too “abrupt.” Somehow, these fifteen additional seconds were enough to vastly increase the average score the film was given.

Finally, at long last, the film goes to distribution, unless there is some outstanding issue and the production company kills it. For most of the films that we view, the first step is a cinema release. The number one movie-going nation is South Korea, where people viewed an average of 4.12 movies a year, compared to the number two spot for the US (3.88 a year.) Normally, there would be a theatrical “window,” where the film was only available in cinemas and people would have to wait a few weeks to see it at home. Nowadays, streaming services have changed the media landscape from top to bottom. If you want to learn more about interesting cinema facts, check out our other articles here and here.

Unfortunately, unless you're world-renowned, super famous, everyone-knows-your-name actor/actress, you aren't gonna be getting 8-digit paychecks. People in the acting community are actually payed less than you might think, and many of them have to keep multiple jobs to be able to provide for themselves. For example, in Texas, the average annual salary for an actor is 18k-230k per year, and livable wage can vary from 40k-120k. It sucks, but those of us wanting to break into the acting industry are gonna have a hard time of it...

1) Almost all spiders are venomous. 2) Tarantulas will only bite you in circumstances where they are being held against your body by something else, like clothing. 3) Tarantula bites are mild, as in wash and maybe paracetamol at a push mild. 4) The biggest danger of a tarantula are the hairs if they flick them, they are barbed and really hurt. 5) Yes I have experienced both, because of other people being mean with them, the hairs are much worse. 6) They aren't going to actively hurt you, they only will if you bother them, they are docile when held and very light.
Sean 2 years ago (edited)
This is true for most new world tarantulas, and most damage from the bite is due to the fangs puncturing tissue (some of my larger tarantulas have big old fangs). The hairs as you say are no joke, and have caused me some real issues, but totally my own fault (could definitely have taken precautions). Old world tarantulas on the other hand are generally more defensive and will bite as they don't have hairs, with medically significant venom (p.metallica for instance has an awful bite). Never a good idea to handle an old world tarantula, and with any tarantula, handle at your own risk and that of the tarantula, as they are fragile and even a small drop can result in result in a ruptured abdomen for the poor thing. Source - I own many tarantulas :) If anyone is interested in the more educational side, Tom's Big Spiders on YouTube is great for showing how great these creatures are.

We got sideswiped in a Focus by a Toyota Hilux doing 70mph, it snapped the front axle and my wife had to be cut out but the chassis was intact and the airbags protected us. So yeah, that was a strong Focus, even the doctor that checked us over was impressed.

had some good ideas, but botched so many things, rampant incompetence in his cabinet, messed up the British pull-out of many former colonies leading to several conflicts still existing today etc. It's why labor took a big hit in 51 and Labor wouldnt return until 1964. Being a nice guy with nice ideas, doesnt make you a good PM, execution of those ideas successfully does.

To be more specific, it was the break between innings. Peter Jackson came out into the centre of the ground, and huge microphones were put out in front of multiple sections of the crowd. We were asked to chant Derbu Nashu, and also asked to stop our feet (as in time to Peter Jackson as we could) and beat our chests on queue. They repeated until they felt they had enough. We were not told in advance this would be happening during the lunch interval, so anyone that ducked out to get food or drink missed out.

No, it means Michael Myers, as in the character from the film "Halloween", so they went for the actor "Mike Myers" whose most famous role at the time was Austin Powers and likely the only mask of him I'm assuming was available at the time

I don't think Robert Downey Jr could have made a comeback if social media and mobile phones was a thing in the 1990s. He had a horrible addiction problem, allegedly got drugs from his dad at 6 years old, and was also sentenced to 3 years in prison but ended up serving only 1 year. The director of Ironman had to fight HARD to cast a former drugaddiced, untrustful looser like RDJ... I don't think an actor would bounce back from that now.

I love how they included quirks like that and how his employees would hear him coming thanks to his smoker's cough and would warn each other by saying "man is in the forest!" (Contrary to what the movie shows, he was a real hardass with his underlings, hence the warning system). Apparently the Disney corporation was iffy about showing him smoking and drinking (after all there are a lot of photos of him holding up two fingers for no apparent reason because they edited out the cigarette), but they graciously let it be included. I mean the dude died of emphysema, so there's not much point in pretending he didn't smoke like a chimney.

He put a lot of effort into making sure he got it right (otherwise it might have come across as mocking and he didn't want to belittle people who actually suffer from it). Losing weight can be hard, but at least with starving yourself, it's just a case of consuming less calories than you put out.

I’m kinda judgmental of method acting. If you’re not a good enough actor to step onto a role convincingly without having to do crazy s**t and treat cast & crew in crazy ways, maybe there’s a ton of other actors out there who can. One’s job is “to act like” and if one needs to “become” in order to express, one isn’t actually acting. A good actor can pretend their finger hurts without having to slam it in a damn door.
Wintermute 2 years ago
True, but I suspect that a lot of them do it because they LIKE to feel like the character. They probably find it an interesting way to personally delve into the roll and make their own lives a little more dynamic. Just an assumption, but it makes sense to me.
