Name any other profession other than healthcare where you have to be Covid tested regularly?

Because it’s weird that it’s only “nurses and actors”.

Yes.

Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) Spencer Tracey is the badass, one-armed war veteran John J. Macreedy.

Great movie; enjoyed it quite a bit.

Who else has only seen this photo of the movie and know nothing else about it?

Damn 20 years already. Truly an icon.

nah just the 5 jabs, not covid 🙂

Yay, another Cynthia Rothrock fan!

She mastered a vast variety of martial arts with impeccable form (won tons of medals for it, too). And form, after all, is what counts on screen.

Why isn't she better remembered? Hollywood just didn't give her the same opportunities that Hong Kong cinema did. Hong Kong cinema saw her as a star from the start. They built movies around her, and put her in major roles.

Her acting was certainly good enough to carry those movies and make them hits in the territory. She had perfectly adequate range for what's required of an action star. And she certainly had charisma and could spark chemistry with any of her costars.

But that was Hong Kong. In the US, all she got were a string of direct-to-video films that just weren't any good.

She never got a big break in Hollywood. She never got cast in any action tentpoles. I think if a major production had given her a chance, she'd been a breakout star.

Well, why didn't they? If you look at some of the women that did get cast in action roles in big budget films in the 90s, you get Sigourney Weaver, Famke Janssen, Milla Jovovich, Carrie Ann Moss, Grace Jones... Half of that list are people who started out as models. And they're all certainly extremely glamorous women.

While Cynthia is certainly very pretty, she's not quite model pretty and glamorous. I think Hollywood execs just wrote her off because they didn't think she was hot enough. Her martial arts prowess meant nothing to them, whereas I think HK cinema studio execs had much more respect for her skills.

So ultimately, a very tiny group of gatekeepers kept her from reaching her full potential as a star, likely because of her looks. It sucks. But well, her glorious stint in HK cinema will always be there, and that content is only more accessible to people around the world than ever.

Oh... Oh no..... Oh God, no.........

Everyone on a film set is still tested for Covid. People actually adjust their lifestyles inorder to work, so no most of the people are not going to the nightclub with hundreds of other people because it could cost them some work

Sure, and a year ago I’d have agreed.

We’re now at a point where there’s no requirement to isolate, and symptoms are often so small they’re barely noticeable. Most workplaces outside of healthcare have accepted that it’s ok to come to work if you have it.

Mission Impossible.

Team America, Office Space, Clerks, Walk Hard, Black Dynamite, South Park: BL&U, Super Troopers. I also have a soft spot in my heart for How High.

As far as ur questions go -- no clue.

Long live Olaf.

Loosing your actor, dp or so on a shooting day costs a lot of money.

I didn't think baby shark could get more annoying

The Handmaiden (2016) is exactly what you've described

So true I have been thinking about her a lot lately (not that way you filthy perverts) and wondering why she isn't more well known. Her films are pretty terrible, but for the time I cannot think of another American actress who was even comparable.

What did he do that offended you that much?

It works when they either have a big personality or a huge imagination (world building :p)

Don't stop at Season 2. It was some weak parts, but it ends strong, and the movie + Season 3 are a return to form.

Yeah I’d like to rewatch it all the way through sometime. I watched the first 38 mins (thinking it ended). And then the rest two nights later lol.

I think the ambiguity of the middle section is what got me. I don't feel surprised often when I watch a movie, but this was so much fun. I show it to my friends that are not into horror because they are squeamish or to friends that are beginning to be interested in horror but aren't sure. I beg them to just sit through it and trust me. They love it.
