Guess The Lorax didn't pay him THAT well.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.
Have we lived and fought in vain?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, ten points to Gris. Ten points and a whole lot of hilarity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You guys are way too erudite for me, man.

How much of this [link] is hyperbole, and how much can be believed? I get suspicious when so much of an article is new to me, plus it's all pretty horrific.
Okay, except for the I Heart Huckabees stuff. I knew some of that. But the rest of it makes me feel rather ignorant.
Cracked.com is my TV Tropes, man. I get started and it's really hard to stop.

The Wizard of Oz stuff is real, or at least supposedly real. (I heard from someone who knows Judy Garland's daughter that the real reason the original Tin Man was ejected from the movie was that he was protesting to the studio about all the drugs that they were giving Judy Garland to keep her awake for filming for hours, and that the studio made up the story about the makeup so that they'd have a reason to give for him leaving, but I have no idea if that's true or not.)

The original Tin Man was Buddy Ebsen.

I probably would have included Adventures of Milo and Otis on that list. There are several shots in that movie where there's really no way to get the shot other than by actually killing some animals, and the animal-welfare reports from the filming are really sketchy and vague.

I think if you expand the list very globally, you hit an issue of numbers even before you hit the issue of different regulations and animal welfare expectations.
We're all probably sure we shouldn't kill people to make a better movie. Perhaps.

My understanding is that all of those stories are true.
