local woman relieved and embarrassed to report that the task she had been postponing for two months ended up taking a grand total of 4 minutes to complete
Oh....you mean like Seto Kaiba?
Actors and Animators should go on strike next tbh. Especially cgi animators. Put the fear back into Hollywood
Animators? Yes. Actors? If youre talking ppl like RDJ or Jamie Lee Curtis or what have you. They have more than enough fucking money. Take a look at one production cost and see how much these people are paid.
My dad is an actor/playwrite. He has to constantly search for new gigs to make ends meet, and even then ends up doing retail or lyft or doordash a lot of the time between gigs.
And my parents don't live in a huge house in New York or LA, it's a tiny townhouse in a really small city. My mom's the one who really pays the mortgage with her events organizer and house manager jobs at local theatres, and even then they struggle to afford living expenses. They used food stamps when I was a kid - not every month, but enough that I see it as a normal thing to do.
And when he does get gigs, especially like big tv gigs, working conditions are CRAP. He nearly got severe hypothermia once for having to jump in a freezing cold river in early winter from 11pm-3am, repeatedly, for a shot they didn't even end up USING.
Scheduling is abysmal, overtime is never properly compensated for, the jobs are DANGEROUS (mostly on a physical fatigue level), and work is contractual by nature. Are there some contracts that are ridiculously good? Yes, that's how contract-based work tends to happen for a lucky few.
But getting a contract like that is like winning the lottery, and even then they can be really exploitative if you don't have a kickass agent and/or a really good entertainment lawyer. There aren't really steady 9-5 full time acting jobs with benefits the way there are with other jobs. It's difficult to get any gigs in the first place, I cannot emphasize enough how much it is a constant job search.
And that's not even getting into the horrendous conditions and disrespect for voice actors. Actors should ABSOLUTELY go on strike
I fucking hope RDJ and Will Smith and everyone on top strike too. You want a real impact? Let's see what happens when top names refuse to work until the people on the bottom are compensated fairly too.
Being able to pretend it's just some uppity character actors or commercial actors lets studios distract. When there's no star for the best blockbuster to be, they can't ignore the demands.
The top-paid members of an industry strike in support of better working conditions for their coworkers, not for more money. Neil Gaiman and George RR Martin aren't striking because they want or expect to be paid more, they're striking to support the entire rest of their industry because they care about it.
Not to mention, even the big names are often treated like absolute shit.
Kate Winslet nearly got hypothermia on multiple occasions whilst filming titanic because, despite the fact that the whole thing was happening on a carefully controlled set and thus could have the water at whatever temperature he wanted, James Cameron wanted to take the "acting" out of acting and he had the water set to be as cold as possible without it being frozen. He called it method acting. He didn't bother to see if Kate could ACT as though the water was one-degree above freezing; he just called it right from the go and was like, hey, what if I make my lead actress spend several days getting in and out of BORDERLINE FREEZING WATER, so that it will look realistic.
Her chattering teeth and whole body tremors? Yeah, not acting. That was her body on the edge of actual real life hypothermia.
And look at the way they treat men these days with making them fast and dehydrate to the point of collapse, just so the director can get two seconds worth of a shot where their muscles and veins are all bulging unnaturally.
When he was filming Logan (I think it was Logan) Hugh Jackman literally DID collapse. One of the scenes of him all bare-chested and muscly and roaring angrily? Is a much shorter scene than it was supposed to be, because that's all they managed to get out of him before he LITERALLY PASSED OUT.
And these are the big name lead actors who are getting treated like this. If THEY are being treated so appallingly, what hope in hell do the smaller actors have of not being worked into the ground?
YES, the actors should go on strike. Yes, including the biggest-name stars who've never been mistreated and who get the cushiest most comfortable jobs. They should go on strike too because they support the improved conditions and pay for all those in their industry who ARENT treated well. Which is most of them.
According to the Film & Television Industry Alliance, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) will begin filming on August 31st, 2023
Me when security has to get rid of me for hiding in the bushes near the sets where their filming sonic movie 3 in London
apparently there was a stunt in icarly where Gibby jumps from the ceiling into the ground but there were no safety measures and the stuntman broke his fucking ribs 😭
this is it. this was allowed to air on nickelodeon.
genuine shock/disbelief on all their faces
He caught like a foot of air on the bounce... Holy shit
Why in gods name didn’t they just toss a Gibby-shaped dummy holy shit there was no need for this stunt on fucking iCarly
I'm sorry but this random youtube comment could be literally anyone as opposed to the actor that was actually on set.
Random anonymous youtube channel using a stunt double's name from a public imdb page, when youtube lets you use any name, commenting on a clip of the podcast on someone else's youtube channel and not even the podcast itself: "i wasn't injured at all"
Podcast (not anonymous), Noah Munck, Gibby's actor who was there: "he like broke all his ribs or something" "there's like a thin mat under the floor, thin thin thin. but nothing. he was not doing too well, like that was scary as fuck" "[the stunt double] had to get carried off, we stopped filming" "like an 'oh fuck', everyone's quiet when he hits that ground [...] the hit was just so hard."
iCarly show: Also had another incident of subpar stunt safety where another stunt actor, Katina Waters, got seriously injured and with broken bones and ligaments from being dropped high above the ground without warning and crashing down on the floor, and she tried to sue.
So you can see I'm genuinely skeptical that "nothing happened" or that the comment even is the stunt performer in question, especially with no proof or corroboration.
ALTThe impact Spiderverse has on art and artists is INSANE. Everyone is drawing, everyone is CREATING. From colour studies, to the art style studies, to making sona influenced by the movies' character designs. AI generated images are nowhere to be seen, and I hope they're going to stay buried in the uncreative pits they belong in... the world is in balance.
Seeing all the works are... WOW
