the funniest moment of that Madagascar movie was when the penguins make it to Antarctica and theyre standing there in the blizzard in silence until ones just like ‘WELL THIS SUCKS.”
A story for all you Jurassic Park loving peeps out there. I learned about
this in my Disaster Response and Emergency Preparedness course that I
just started. In 1992, Jurassic Park was finishing filming on the
island of Kaua'i in Hawai'i. The final day was scheduled for September
11. However, brewing out in the Pacific and headed straight for Hawai'i
was Category 4 Hurricane Iniki. The crew had been keeping an eye on it,
but it was expected that Iniki would turn its course slightly. The
afternoon of September 10, however they were informed that it was going
to make landfall in a few hours, impacting Kaua'i with the main brunt of
it. The crew of hundreds was ordered into the basement of the hotel
they were staying in, and they waited it out that night. (Rather
hilariously, Richard Attenborough slept through the whole ordeal where
others were awake, huddled together and fearing for their lives. When
Spielberg asked him about it, he answered, “My dear boy, I survived the
blitz!” I guess after that, a little hurricane is just pleasant white
noise.) The next day, after the storm had passed, the whole island
was in shambles. Infrastructure was totally destroyed, electricity was
entirely knocked out, and radio service was down. The crew had escaped
harm, luckily, though the sets were totally destroyed. That’s actually
why we don’t see any of Ray Arnold’s journey to the power shed, because
that set was ruined during the storm. Anyway, I digress. The crew
comes out of their basement shelter to find total devastation and a city
in disarray. Even though help would be arriving soon, since the
National Weather Service had been monitoring the storm and knew the
island was hit, there would be no way for the relief efforts to begin
with the infrastructure so heavily damaged. Airstrips and landing pads
had also been demolished in the storm, and hospitals were without power.
There was also no (rather, just severely limited) way to move the
debris that was keeping citizens from aid. EXCEPT a gigantic, highly
skilled and intelligent film crew with lots of industrial equipment and
literally nothing better to do. Within hours of the storm’s
passing, the film crew personnel had dug out their bulldozers and
cranes, jury rigged up whatever else they needed from the animatronics,
and began blazing a path through the wreckage to the air strip where
they cleared the whole landing site, then began working on major city
streets. They also used their set generators to help restore power to
critical city functions, and their satellite phones to call for extra
assistance from the mainland (after they had evacuated their cast, of
course). Even though the ships and helicopters arrived to take the
crew home that day, as planned, many (if not most) of the crew stayed on
Kaua'i to assist in cleanup and relief efforts. It’s estimated by
Emergency Management officials and experts that if the crew had not been
there, the recovery efforts would have been delayed by as much as 3
weeks, as little as 3 days, and several hundred people would have died
in the aftermath of Hurricane Iniki.
Hollywood gets a bad rep for being selfish, but they can save lives and I think that’s really cool.
Crew guys are awesome.
the folks in a tv/movie crew are probably the most creative, innovative and resourceful people you’ll find - they can make miracles happen with a roll of duct tape, a bit of wire, and a 9-volt battery.
Okay but ‘jury rigged up whatever else they needed from the animatronics’ honestly just gives me the metal image of that giant fuckin t-rex animatronic pushing a plow to move debris
in superman adventures #19, thereâs a villain named multi-face who can convincingly disguise himself as anyone, even tricking dna tests and x-ray vision. Superman initially canât stop him
and the only reason he gets caught is because multiface decides to disguise himself as, of all people, CLARK KENTÂ iâm screaming
why do villains always mess up so badly
Clark Kent attending Bruce Wayneâs yacht party where Bruce told Clark to wear his clothes andâŚâŚ
Ta-Da!
Sard borken
This bullshit needs to get into the movies, not edgy-grimdark shit
I especially love the fact that, in many depictions, Bruce Wayne somehow ended up looking similar enough to the one Kryptonian on Earth that they can Parent Trap people
*Deathstroke bursts into the Legion of Doom headquarters* âGuys, you wonât believe this, but I think Bruce Wayne is Superman!â
today I learned that Clark Kent is sloppy drunk and I am in eternal gratitude for that
Iâve seen this post go around a couple of times and Iâve never seen anyone add the time that Clark somehow got high.
i say âsomebodyâs making brownies in North Dakotaâ whenever my irl bizarrely strong sense of smell is bugging me plz reblog so ppl will get the reference thx
iâm legitimately wheezing over âta-da! sard borken!â
you’re all full of shit, y’all may hate the man, but i bet if you saw your president getting attacked, no matter how much you dislike him or disagree with him, I BET 93% of you will jump in and defend the fucker with your life, you’d fight to the death if you must, to save that hateful orange.
Apparently Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Birds of Prey wielding a crossbow isnât sexy according to a man ??
itâs almost as if men are used to seeing women in film through a male gaze where they are sexualized and objectified for male pleasure and approval.??
huh anyway MEN are weak and ladies enjoy Mary Elizabeth Winstead looking hot and powerful as Huntress
like THAT ^^^^^^^^^ is sexy men need to grow up
Hmmmmm I wonder why
I know this isnât specifically about Harley Quinn, but since itâs her movie, I gotta make the comparison. I mean I wonder why all men were drooling over this Harley
But I havent heard a single male praise for her hotness since the trailers for her movie came out and they find out now she looks like this
