- They're trying to spare you.... just delete it. Save yourself. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 2, 18:03

    - hey, your loss. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 17:33

just out of curiousity - why is it okay for a director to flip out, but not for an actor (who needs to concentrate no matter how lame the movie is)? - Guy Feb 2, 17:06 17
- It's the difference between lateral coworkers screaming at each other, and the boss yelling at a subordinate. - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 17:36
- I know, seriously... some people really need to learn to control their temper. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 2, 17:14
- personally, even though we all might like to at times, it isnt ever okay to act like that. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 17:08 14
  - i wasnt arguing that - im asking why at least two STers willingly give much more leeway to directors & cinematographers but not "podunk" actors -- nm - Guy Feb 2, 17:10 11
    - Because, in the case of David O. Russell, he's not just the director but also the writer, which means he has a clear understanding of what he wants - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:18 8
      - I agree with Jovian. It's bullshit in both cases. -- nm - Subversive - daddy x 2 Feb 2, 17:34 4
        
        In the defense of the director, he could be creating a hostile environment because he's trying to get something out of the actor organically - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:40
        
        i just watched the O'Russell clip and I agree with Dignan - the violence takes the cake - Guy Feb 2, 17:39 2
        
        in his defence, apparently Lily Tomlin was impossible to work with on that movie. I've seen at least two clips of her flipping out and screaming at - mafic Feb 2, 18:30
        
        Yeah, Dignan is usually right. nm - Dignan Feb 2, 17:42
      - if they were already shooting the scene, then his performance has been shaped and hes trying to concentrate and stay in character. - Guy Feb 2, 17:28 2
        
        It's not like that was going to be the only take Bale was ever going to get to hit whatever mark he was attempting to hit - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:41 1
        
        or, it's a pattern of behaviour with the guy. - Reagen Feb 2, 18:07
    - I don't know about the cinematigrapher, but the director's got to take a lot from all sides. - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:12 1
      - hm...I corrected cinematographer and hit the wrong key in the process. -- nm - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:13
  - L4 -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 17:09 1
    - Seriously. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! nm - ralph wiggum Feb 2, 17:13
okay, so this is seriously going to annoy, watching this without 3d glasses. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 17:05 2
- where can we get these glasses, I have none of those grocery stores near me -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 2, 17:19
- agreed -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 17:09
So, wait, Bery is taking a class...on running? so many jokes.... -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Feb 2, 17:02 6
- it's a 10K training clinic - Beryllium Feb 2, 17:04
- He has to. He came in last when running with the woman's group. Not a joke. -- nm - Phil Connors Feb 2, 17:03 4
  - Ahem...you might have just insulted women runners. - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:04 2
    - only in an effort to insult me, so it's really nothing ... - Beryllium Feb 2, 17:05 1
      - And hecan only outrun them if he's got a getaway car waiting? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:06
  - This is completely true. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 17:04
Heh. PTBDS. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 16:59
CHUCK! -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 16:58
"sexpat" is *awesome. -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 2, 16:53 1
- Hilarious, right? Also, the bit about Germans talking about socks during sex is admittedly pretty funny. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 2, 17:17
From my perspective, calling Jedi X-Men is giving them more credit than they deserve, so that *was* nice. - David Feb 2, 16:53 3
- let's just focus on hating Dan "Scooby Doo is really good Writing" Brown. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 2, 17:09 1
  - And George "Glow in the Dark Phalluses rule!" Lucas. - David Feb 2, 17:14
- Uh-huh. -- nm - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:03
Thanks to Penny Arcade, this woman is finding hidden messages in all her child's toys. -- (link) - Mop Feb 2, 16:52 1
- But... Islam *IS* the light -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:20
It's Groundhog Day -- nm - Phil Connors Feb 2, 16:51 2
- "Winter, slumbering in the open air, wears on its smiling face a dream... of spring. Ciao." -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 17:04
- I have to admit - this is some dedication. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 17:01
