I’m binge-watching Daredevil this week. S1 is nearly the perfect Marvel TV show. S2 was a letdown, Elektra in particular, whom I found cringey AF. S3 looks OK after 2 episodes.

I actually made a minor discovery on the subject two years ago. Search Post and Courier Anne Bonny 2020 and you’ll find it. Wikipedia I think still quotes it on her page.

Well I tend to go by that lesbian pirate expert lady since Anne Bonny is the person I know best but I'll take Pirateologist thank you. 

i like that pirate study is your thing!

Oh fuck, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier

She came out of the War Rig, a film prop she’d been waiting in for hours while Hardy was still in bed. She yelled but he’s the one who charged up to her. You don’t get to be the victim when you make people wait hours for your prima donna ass.

Pirates! Band of Misfits is absolutely delightful as mentioned.   

Hardy was an a-hole and producers enabled it.

No surprise that Theron was a professional and spoke up when it was warranted. Too bad she had to. 

I was wondering how long this series could go?  Stede Bonnet was a pirate for like a year at best, he was hanged in Charles Town in 1718, having outlived Blackbeard somehow.  He also didn't really kill anyone until his final battle when he got stuck in a river like an idiot.  Piracy was a crime but murder wasn't as…

What We Do On The High Seas

*Hardy arrives on set late, is aggressive, loud and unpleasant*

Tom Hardy is a huge douche. I can’t get into details but a friend acted with him in a huge film. He insulted this friend’s performance at the premiere in front of his children and walked away. Which is weird cause Tom Hardy is horrible in the film. 

Fuck no, the crew (nor the talent for that matter) wants “extra hours” added to an already grueling shooting day. That goes double for a location shoot. That goes triple for a location in the fucking desert.

As someone who was volunteered by leadership of my own department to help another department for extra pay, I can say that no, sometimes even the promise of extra compensation is not worth it. It was not something I really wanted to do. I had been planning to use some vacation days during the time I was going to have…

I’d think the crew would want the extra hours

the movie’s arduous production, which lasted for nine months in the Namibian desert and South Africa before reshoots. The cast recalls feeling extremely isolated and at times frustrated with Miller’s methods: They would often shoot without scripts and only for a few seconds at a time, meaning that actors rarely…

Why is this in the news again?

This is somewhat worse than I thought regarding Tom Hardy’s unprofessionalism & George Miller enabling it. Charlize Theron if anything is somewhat generous about this in an interview on the Fury Road blu ray, saying that while she usually “isn’t very method” some days shooting when their characters were supposed to be…

Alternative take: “it’s the farting corpse guy with ‘Weird Al’ hair”

I think Radcliffe is fine with being referred to as Harry Potter. He’s a pretty chill guy.
