Rewatching the first of the Planet of the Apes reboots/prequels (?) , and it has a trope in it I see so often in TV and movies I don't understand. The person who works in some sort of animal-adjacent facility (animal control, animal research, zoo, sanctuary, sometimes even just a vets office,) who absolutely despises animals. So why do you have that job?! I mean, I guess some have it because they're sadists who enjoy hurting animals, but it generally seems more like the person is just annoyed that animals exist at they're job that involves animals. And related to Rise of the Planet of the Apes...does the magic monkey gas also make apes immune to broken glass? They smash through a lot of windows with seemingly no injuries.

At the risk of sounding like a Tom Cruise defender, that audio very definitely sounded like he was taking the pandemic incredibly seriously, and absolutely did not want the reputation of having his crew set a bad example. I'm sure the financial angle was on his mind too.

I can't imagine being in charge of a set and having to deal with Orson loving Welles telling me I'm doing it wrong. And probably calling me "dear boy".

I can't remember who it was, but I remember the one story about the actor who WAS being difficult until the Director put his foot down and he was like "Fair enough, I'll take your instructions" because he was impressed that the director clearly had a strong command of the set.

I was listening to the Smartless podcast and they had Ben Affleck on and he was talking about the difficulty of directing other directors. Specifically a scene setup where Jason Bateman and Matt Damon were like 'I thought when I say this I'd stand over here because that way you'd get the light, you want the light right?' and Affleck would be like 'motherfucker I'm DIRECTING the MOVIE' It was cute

After years of people coming up with any excuse to not take COVID precautions seriously, I can not get worked up about someone taking COVID seriously for possibly not ideal reasons.

The director kinda nervously reads it and Shatner then does his take making fun of the way the director read it. Like the equivalent of going "iN jUlY pEaS gRoW tHeRe" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JA9CeMXwno

Yeah I mean the peas part was from Welles' famous tape, I couldn't remember what Shatner was supposed to be talking about so I used that. That particular Pinky and the Brain skit grew out of LaMarche using it as his warm up when he had to do Welles' voice.

I watched the latest Planet of the Apes movie and not once in over two hours did any chimpanzees fling their poo poo. I used to think the first movie was far-fetched because the virus only spread due to every human character being a complete moron. Post Covid, it's quite accurate. Inspector Gesicht has a new favorite as of 22:27 on May 18, 2024 |

Maybe this is an American thing? At least where I live, you don't work in any of the fields named above unless you really really want to, because they are fairly specific and demand certain training. It's not, like, working with the disabled where turnover is high so you kind of accept anybody who needs the money. This is my personal rational irritating reality moment, that working with animals is more popular than working with the disabled. Anyway, the USA are a worker's hell so I have no problem imagining someone who absolutely hates animals gets hired to work in a zoo.

Yeah, I think the only time yelling on set, or in workplaces in general, is remotely acceptable is if it's about people loving around with safety stuff that could get people hurt. I mean angry yelling, not like yelling out hello cos someone is super far away, and you want to say hi or something, obviously.
