Snyder ,'Chosen'
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.
I read an interview where Sissy said she was so into the role that they could have used some real kind of blood (they used the fake karo stuff) and she wouldn't have minded, and in the course of filming thought the karo was probably worse because it was so horrifically sticky.
ETA: about the original movie.
Wouldn't have been a trip if they'd gotten Sissy to play her own mom in the remake?
Karo syrup really is horrifically sticky, though. Much harder to get out of your hair than blood.
I imagine it smells a lot better than blood does after a bit, though.
The Karo syrup stuff attracts fruit flys like a mofo
Would you know where to get a bucket of blood for a practical joke?
I am so glad the rest of you answered this, but yes, I know where.
The Karo syrup fake blood is a pain to clean up. The red dyes in it stain EVERYTHING.
I thought they covered how to get a bucket of blood in the first movie, or am I misremembering?
Also, as someone who has had more than her fair share of blood exposure lately, I'd take the fake karo sticky stuff over the real deal any day.

Yes, they did. John Travolta did the deed in fact(iction).
As long as it's a recipe ingredient, it won't really be hard to find. That's not a good reason to replace it in a movie.
After I posted my answer, I googled the question, just in case, and well--there's that now too.
Watched Rush. It's well done, and I could not love Niki Lauda more. I don't care who's on most of the posters, or who's supposed to look like a rat, Niki is my hero. The other guy was hot, but let's focus here.
I couldn't work out if I was spoilt (by history!) by knowing who Niki Lauda is, and knowing he had facial burns, and knowing nothing about Hunt based on my time in the UK in the 80s--and I know jack shit about racing. Wondering if that meant anything didn't hurt the movie in the least--maybe it made it tenser, but at the very least it made it tenser in the right places.
I wish they hadn't pushed it so much as the Hunt story in marketing, but the movie is pretty clear that it's a story of a rivalry. And, enh. Market that full body naked Hemsworth shot.
Catching Fire November 22nd! Entered in calendar!
Market that full body naked Hemsworth shot.
My lack of plans for tomorrow afternoon has been rectified.
